As I watch Darnold tonight...

My biggest issue with keeping Darnold, which I felt we should have done, is we would still have Fitterer. And everything that came with that.  I think Morgan is going to be good. 

Baker, just did not play well at all here. Not sure what else we were supposed to take away from it at the time. 

That’s my short ‘I don’t want to argue about it’ take. 

Well Baker was clearly a good NFL QB and Darnold was clearly not. It appears that Darnold may have turned the corner, that's not a check I would personally cash.

I mean, the fact that Baker immediately played significantly better with the Rams was pretty much a dead giveaway. That didn't take time, that was the same season.

He folded under pressure for sure but Rams were also better than people thought.  If he can overcome the mental hurdle of choking under pressure he could lead them to a championship. 

Sam Darnold has the sheer physical talent to win a Super Bowl. He can make any throw at any moment. His talent is that impressive. But the mental aspect and the pressure of the brightest lights like you said is the key hurdle. In that regard he has something in common with Daniel Jones. Both can wow you and both can turn a game into a nightmare. Just have to see what transpires.
