I see as many as 12 wins just based off talent. As few as 2. It's just really hard to predict this team because of the way they fell off a cliff last year. Personally, I put a lot of that on Darnold. I'd say 8-10 wins is where we will end up. In Baker we trust.

IF Baker is worth a longer contract, which would mean we are drafting mid 1st instead of top 10, I could see it worth trading back. Not a huge drop off from 15 to 20, let's say. If we don't need a QB and don't need a LT, there is more flexibility I feel.

No.

If they felt the bottom of the roster needs churned, why didn't we pick up anyone off waivers?

I am on the fence when it comes to Bakers play, but I'm also very much a homer. That said, this "article" is just a blog. Nothing more than an extra long, glorified facebook post. Only difference I guess is the writer got paid something for it. Any Huddler could have written that.

I bet we are tryign to trade some players. I bet we have some practice squad players elevated once space is made for them. Hopefully they find some DEs somewhere.

Keep in mind we were 6th, which means we weren't interested in any of these. Edit - this comment now has a different meaning I guess.

I'm trying to figure out why was there a craze of cornerbacks on the radio

Do teams claim their own cuts off waivers or do they go through all 32 teams first?

Who was the guy that called only keeping 5 LBs? Give him pie!

I had to block ads on PC because they hijacking my browser and redirecting to malicious pages. I thought I had a virus but nope, it stopped as soon as I installed adblocker on this PC. My phone just has the annoying GMC ads.

I fully approve the comment. I want a QB with swagger. Loser mentality doesn't win games. Lets fuging go! Reporter should have never repeated something said in casual conversation. Baker should know not to say something to a reporter that he doesn't want repeated. But, maybe he did know and was hoping it gets leaked.

TMJ wouldn't make it. A 2021 second round pick WR free off waivers? Anyone with some space in their WR room would scoop him up.

Low hanging fruit so far tbh. Johnson was a bit of a surprise. Also Brown, because I didn't think they'd actually cut him. Also surprised we couldn't find trade partners for some of our WR's. Nice to get Saunders on the PS, but he's gotta clear waivers. Would rather get something for him instead.

This is likely true unless both those defenders (that missed the actual pass) came crashing down on him immediately. Or, if Chubba was able to block a guy and Tremble handled the other, play could have gone for quite a bit tbh. Hard to predict how things would have unfolded if the ball went Tremble's way.

I think that was more because they were playing a soft zone. Tremble was 2 yards past LoS and may have picked up two more. Woulda been 3rd and 8ish. He was the checkdown and I'm sure that's where Buffalo wanted him to go to, but he didn't and the tape says the rest.

I kinda agree with this. I could see some guys getting cut, like Daley and Jordan, so we can keep Darnold on the roster, Ricci, possibly Zane etc. Then once we IR those guys, elevate some of the cuts who made it to the practice squad. I could see us having to cut some guys we don't really want to and hope they don't get picked up.

I haven't read this whole thread, so maybe something is out of context here, idk. That said.... Jameis Winston will never be HoF QB based on his current body of work. That take is absolute bat poo crazy. 2/10

I think the compensation the Panthers would want would make it difficult to find a trade partner. 2nd round pick in year 2, you would think they would want a late second/early 3rd to move him this early in his career. I think he gets another chance next offseason. If he hasn't found a way to be able to play by next year this time, I can see us dump him for a 5th. Someone will take a shot with a mid/late round pick.

If we're picking 7 then the Baker experiment failed and we are going QB.

You can bring Mahomes in here, Brady, Jackson, whoever you want at QB, and that above statement would be true. So, uhhh, were you making some kind of point or just stating the obvious? O.o

This thread is 5 pages long in an hour, midday on a Weds. I thought I'd find something interesting in here. I didn't. Full disclosure, I read the first post and the last post only.

You know the guys in front of him aren't the reason TMJ doesn't see the field, right? We could cut Robbie and DJ and TMJ still wouldn't play...

His second round status has trade value. It might be a 5th or 6th, but there is value there. NFL teams do low risk, high reward trades all the time. See CJ Henderson. Or Baker Mayfield.

I agree with this. Is there another angle? The original videos didn't work for me. Even the standing over him, I wish I knew what was said, I'm assuming he said something which was that pause. When played at full speed, he stood there for just a moment like words were said. It was brief though. I wouldn't call it "standing over him" necessarily.
