For those worried about the future pick for Baker, I believe we are past the point where the higher pick would kick in. This is NFL Week 11 that we are heading into, and Baker only played the first 5 weeks. So with 7 games left even if he starts I don't believe he qualifies, I saw a breakdown that went into detail somewhere, but even still if he could the team would sit him if needed towards the end of the year. 

I'd anticipate a Sam Darnold start or two in the final weeks with the guise of ''to see what we have''. 

Baker can still reach the mark.  Based on the first 10 games of the year, our offense should have around 1020 snaps over the course of the year.  So far, Baker has played 315 snaps.  If he gets all the snaps the rest of the year he would end with about 750 snaps.  Just over the number required to hit the 4th/5th round mark.

I've done my best to estimate the snaps for the rest of the year. If Baker starts all remaining games and the team averaged 65 offensive snaps he is around 74%. Move 65 snaps to Sam or PJ and he is around 68%. So they need Sam or PJ to play one more full game to keep that 4th round pick.

Stop using Baker. I don't want to give up a 4th for him. Either way we are going to simply be crushed by the Ravens. They might not even throw a pass. Just run over Burns all day. 

I’m pretty sure this has passed or is very very close. He’s missed 4.5 games. No chance he hits the threshold

I would also rather start Sam. Honestly I think he is the better QB and with a good oline and running game I think he could thrive. 

With us, out of the top 3 in the draft, our best solution STILL is that Sam or Baker put it together and become a legit starter. 

If one of them does become that, than our top 8 pick suddenly becomes a lot more interesting. 

There's more truth to this than a lot of us want to admit.

Both of those guys deserve a chance to perform without Rhule here. Give them each three games to start before the end of the season.

      2026 NFL Combine Thread: 2.26.26 - 3.1.26

      Not in same league. Caldwell just hit a 10.00 on the RAS. 2nd out of 3830 from 1987 onward.  https://x.com/MathBomb/status/2027885023387349047 Yeah I mean Louis had a sub 9.00 RAS. Still very very good, no doubt. Louis is small, no 2 ways about it. He is likely a sub package lb in nickel packages or specialized WLB. Be fine ST gunner to start for sure. 6 foot flat and 220lb is pushing it for a starting LB. At 10 to 20lbs less than the other LBs he'd better be closer to the top in most timed drills. He's gonna be challenged when some of the wrs in the class can matchup bigger stronger faster, much less TE in the run game.  Yeah instinct matter and he has them, but that size is a massive red flag compared to many of the other LBS in this class.    Rodriguez is the LB that really climbed this week from a pure grit guy to great flash with athleticism people wrote off cause he was a QB at first at UVA. 18.4mph in the backpedal. Production the last 2 years were great. I'd be thrilled with him as the future mike.   Hill likely moved out of 51 and into the top 45 picks ( Ravens at 45 I can't imagine don't bite if he makes it there). Honestly Hill imo is a 1st rounder and I'd be ok with him as he fits the MLB we have missed the last few years. People would crow it's a reach but he's top 30 all-time I'm RAS for a LB at 9.9+ . Plus he was big time in big games when he was healthy. And that br a big check: meds.

      Miller, Melo, Coby, Moose, and Bridges all on the floor at the same time must be a nightmare for defenses lol. Switch one out for Kon and still a nightmare. Coby really does bring a true 6th man value and looks like he could start if Melo was out after only a few games of getting his feet wet.

      Well I guess he should stop playing football. This was his defining moment and chance to prove he was generational and he failed. What a waste of football life..
