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.

      He should've been more than a JAG, but Jeremy Chinn.  I was convinced he was our next defensive star

      Yeah the only way current set up is fun is if every year a different tiny school builds a super team and makes a run. You just need 1 rich guy to say you know what would be funny, if I drop 30 million and my school has a shot at a national championship.   They won't ever do it but put some sort of tiered salary cap in place and sign them to 4 year deals. You can only transfer up or down tiers no lateral moves because mean ole coach at texas doesn't play me enough so I'm going to Tennessee. So a player at prairie view can transfer to texas and get paid more or a player from UNC can transfer to UNCG because he isn't getting playing time. If a guy is transferring "up" he can get a salary bump if the team has salary cap space. A guy transferring down has to stay at the same salary as he signed his 4 year deal for so the lower tier team would have to have the cap space to sign him. It would stop the money chasing for lateral moves but allow guys who improve massively at lower schools to make more money as juniors and seniors and hopefully keep more guys in one place because the contract is for 4 years.
