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?

Math is off, he is well below the 70% threshold and there was next to no way he would break it even if he started the rest of the way.

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.

      2026 NFL Combine Thread: 2.26.26 - 3.1.26

      By strato · Posted

      since I agree with him I will jump in and say we don’t use the TE enough to value one as a 1st. One of these threads just today people are posting pointing out that Bryce can’t see the middle of the field which is where a lot of TE eat. He likes to throw picks there too, I wonder why (can’t see). It just doesn’t help us that much.  And personally, just my opinion, Bryce has had enough top level investment dedicated to the pass game. Get a speedy WR later? I am fine with it and think that is all we really need anyway. Another 1st round pick? Hell no if I get to say. Which I don’t but no one else does either    As far as a TE, a pass catching RB would be of more use than a TE I think. We visited with one I think maybe Sr Bowl, that was a WR in school u til just this year when they switched him to RB full time. A guy like that could be put to a lot of use on these little 5 yard passes Bryce is so fond of throwing,  It is just past time to put some real talent into the defense for once and I want our top picks to focus there, personally. I would say unless we have a situation like last year where the difference in pure value is stark, I am pissed if we pass on a quality defensive player for another pass catcher.
