I wouldn't say it was high risk.  The trade was ultimately a 5th round draft pick to kick the tires on Baker.  Sam Darnold was a much higher risk move with the picks involved and the guaranteed salary this year.

High risk in that they were counting on Baker to be the QB of the future and save their jobs.

He's not gonna play because of that draft pick, it's past the trade deadline but maybe there's a team dealing with injuries that asked for a favor in return for an IOU. Plus it's probably awkward in the QB room for no good reason

It is 100% the 49ers asking for a IOU

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.

Im sorry but your math is pretty far off....

Nice guy from all accounts of what I've seen and heard about him on the Panthers. Took being demoted with grace and exuded little drama.

But this was a necessary move. He brings nothing to the table, and he's regressed heavily even post-Rhule. 

Sam Darnold and PJ Walker have shown more potential than him as a QB on this team, and they're the furthest thing from world-beaters.

Wish him success as a backup in this league, but can't imagine he'd ever land another starting gig for a long time.

Pretty much this. I thought he would be a disaster in terms of the locker room if things didn't go well but that wasn't the case at all. The guy seemed to come in with the right attitude and did everything the staff asked him to do. That's all I can ask of a player. I'm not pissed at Baker. I'm not pissed at Sam. I'm not pissed at Armanti Edwards and Amini and Pickles from years passed. I'm pissed that we have an overall sorry ass organization.

      Bryce Young is the worst QB in Panthers History

      By frankw · Posted

      I've already addressed this notion in a previous reply. You are basing your assertion outside reality if you think Bryce would have not only been more successful but defeated the Patriots in place of Herbert. Bryce got blown off the field by that Patriots team with the highest paid OL in the league. We've seen Bryce with an OL that gave up 65 sacks and it resulted in the #1 pick. And that is not a defense of Herbert or arguing he is a great QB in any way. He has physical talent but he has been similar to Darnold early in his career in terms of his very up and down perfomances. However that does not change the fact that they have significantly less invested in the OL than the Panthers.

      This Bryce Guy (General BY Discussion)

      I think Tepper has been setting the stage where pending there is no miracle he wipes it all clean.  Think you already have been told that with small things like Evero staying.  Bryce is the guy next year.  OC, DC, everything stays the same.  QB room largely the same.  Nothing would really matter there.  They basically get one more shot and it goes how the schedule paired with our 27th ranked O predictably most likely goes.  Everyone out the door together.  Bryce is a bridge tier QB.  I don’t see Dave surviving where he could be bridge QB here in reality.

      I think the D performed well over the season considering it was put together with Scotch tape.
