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.

      I get it's subjective and I said "PFF rated him as" one of the top deep ball passers during that time, which is an accurate statement.  They are still a group of professionals that look at film and data in order to make their judgements/ratings.  These people whose data has been incorporated into a lot of teams' staffs view Bryce's deep throws as some of the best in the league during that stretch.  That tells me that he can probably throw a deep pass vs the Huddle's version of he is small and didn't do it his rookie year so he must not be able to.  That and literally seeing him do it just makes me feel he is more than capable of doing so.   Do you think PFF is skewing their opinion to prop up a QB in a bottom tier franchise?  It's just another group's opinion and I feel is pretty respected around the league currently.  It's not the gospel truth or anything.

      I still remember how happy I was that gettlegut was not the GM once he picked Jones, that was a firing pick and well..... If not for the raiders drafting Clelin Ferrell, it was the biggest draft day mistake in the last 20 some years.

      He had 251 passing yards. 3 passing touchdowns and 2 rushing touchdowns. All in all a very impressive game. Problem is I do not envision his rushing ability translating like that over the course of the upcoming season. Yeah it will be something to account for from time to time but one it's not sustainable and two you don't want to put his durability to the ultimate test against a motivated defender willing to take a penalty and a fine. And plus with our backfield. Two 1k yard rushers. That's what they're here for. Then we have a much improved WR room. That means Bryce has to elevate those passing numbers substantially. The fact of the matter is regardless of circumstances it did take him 23 games to surpass Kyle Allen's single season passing yardage from 13 games in 2020. And that is not a high bar by any means. Whatever QB tier Bryce ends up in from here amongst his peers this upcoming season when it's all said and done it will be with his arm.
