not sure how we would be asking them... when we have all the leverage. Dont forget the Ravens lost Jackson as well yesterday. 

In any case, there's no leverage since the trade deadline passed. We'd just be holding on to him to be petty at this point. We're not gonna play him or resign him, might as well let him go.

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 don't think so.

Besides we could just start blowing people out and getting long drives.

Long drives plus more possessions equals higher snap totals.

Profit

Well, kinda surprised me, but good luck to him. There are some teams out there that would be willing to roll the dice.

Coaching here was bad and it certainly didn't help that he had some obvious issues on his own.

We've got a spot open in the QB room, here's hoping some deserving guy will get a chance.

Crazy he'd be released before the season even finished. Shows you what Wilks thinks of him..

Sounds like Baker requested the move and we obliged. I wouldn't assume Wilks dislikes him, but Darnold does seem better in limited action so far.

Why would we release him at this point?

My guess is now there is no chance he plays at least 70% of the snaps which would then make the pick we gave up a 4th round one instead of a 5th.  With Baker no longer on the roster, there is no way that happens 🙂

Wilks is running this like a business so far. Which is how it should be. Plus I assume we aren’t over the play time threshold with baker.

It was a high-risk, high-reward wager by the Rhule regime that he'd return to form after his shoulder injury. And if his shoulder was pre-2021 shape, it would have paid off. Behind this line, 2019-2020 era Baker probably would have won games. But it's clear as day that shoulder injury is probably lasting. And that's why Rhule is in Nebraska today.

Not sure how his shoulder had anything to do with his decision making.

      Be careful what you wish for

      Like that matters. That's the first thing. I suggested that it's probably better to let a QB sit and learn, and that's what I meant. Secondly, in what planet am I making excuses, my friend, or engaging in any mental gymnastics in Bryce Young's defense? As I have said, I don't care if he turns into Mighty Mouse, it's time for him to go. In my opinion, he's too short to be a successful QB in the NFL. I have seen enough. I'd rather trade him and take my chances with Hooker, at least he's more of a prototypical size and can actually see where and why he's throwing the ball.

      About that schedule.

      By ok2h8pep · Posted

      There is a scenario where our team comes out prepared to play football instead of shitting the bed for the first quarter. Every bad Bryce game seems to start with him looking incompetent - the OL looking incompetent - and the defense looking incompetent.  Boom, down 14 before we know what hit us. Imagine a world where we come prepared and play with a lead, and Bryce gets to fulfill his ceiling by managing a game instead of playing catch up. He's bad, but upon reflection he is not Clausen bad.  He can move the team down the field when he gets 4 - 5 seconds in a clean pocket against a soft zone.  I don't think Clausen could do that.

      You are literally naming almost entirely instances where they are sitting behind a well established if not star player that was already on the team. That's a different scenario entirely.  Listen, if you want to make all the mental gymnastics for excuses, have at it. I think the facts are clear, Bryce Young is not an NFL caliber player. Furthermore, no amount of pine time nor change of scenery is likely to change that.
