Unless I did the math wrong, Baker was at the 5th rounder threshold until his last start.  That bumped him over the 70% threshold.  We would have to make the playoffs for him to get below that again.  In other words, we don't have enough games left for Baker to get below the 70% again.

I thought it was based on snap percentage.  How are you calculating that?

Your math is off. 
 

Mayfield has played in 372 of the 705 offensive snaps in Carolina this year, according to Pro Football Reference. At that pace, he'd need to play in about five-and-a-half games in order to reach 70 percent, and Carolina only has five games remaining.

Seems suspicious. Maybe we have some backdoor deal with San Fran.

If they pick him up, let the conspiracy theories begin.

He has to go through waivers before he can get to SF, at $2M left owed for the season a couple teams might be interested due to injury/seeing if he's better than their current backups etc

No way has he played 70% of the snaps.  Especially considering we have 5 games left.

Yeah, I got it backwards, I got 5.5 games needed to get BELOW 70%.

Makes you wonder if the Eagles or Cowboys won’t try to keep him away from SF. He’s looked horrible but it wouldn’t be too surprising for Shanahan to breathe life into a struggling QB.
