Eh I think Baker has much better composure and leadership qualities. 

Baker and Sam are not even in the same stratosphere. Baker is the FAR superior QB.

I wouldn't argue that.  But I don't think that elevates him into a much better QB. 

He wins 7 games next year and then what?

I'm not even sure they'd make the playoffs WITH Watson

well, if you got a better than average D, CMC (even for 10 games), DJ Moore and Watson.....and can't make the playoffs? 

Well, as I said, we have a Matt Rhule problem.

The thing that attracts some to Garrapolo however, was his ability to play QB on a team with a good running game, a good TE, Deebo, etc. and a good defense.  He still made mistakes and lost his job.

Bring him here, and the training wheels flying off his scooter would injure people.

so is it a done deal one way or the other?

If Baker ends up being a cheap consolation prize from this, I wont be butthurt. Ive seen Baker make some very impressive throws in the NFL and he has 6 4th qaurter comebacks along with 7 GW drives in his 4 year NFL career.

Someone else was claiming the same thing, that they’re similar QBs.  No the hell they aren’t lol.  If we can’t get Watson I’d be okay with getting Mayfield if it’s nothing crazy to acquire him.  He’s at least been good, unlike Darnold

no one knows for sure yet, still three teams in the race. Panthers, Saints and Falcons.

Baker isn’t bad. I just don’t want to give up draft picks/pay money for another QB who isn’t our franchise guy. Take a chance and draft one or sign a FA like Mariotta and wait until next year…

Finally got done with a busy day of meetings that pays the bills.  Came on here fully expecting anarchy.  Nothing yet I see.

Sheena was leading the charge on the “Watson is going to Cleveland” bandwagon until yesterday… me thinks her source is either bad or nonexistent

Consider the pieces lost on defense though. Reddick, Jackson, Gilmore, DaQuan Jones. And if they trade for Watson, it's likely Jeremy Chinn, Burns, and/or Derrick Brown will be gone. Possibly even Jaycee Horn. Not sure which players they offered. Defense is taking a step back next season either way most likely, but even worse to give up assets for Watson.

If Baker came to us for cheap, say a 4th rounder. Id be willing to take that risk. We would just have to find a way to get Sam off of the roster.

Seems to me the Texans seemingly don't give a crap about getting fleeced and are just wanting Watson gone. Just insane there seems to be no resistance from Houston when we have the best package.
