Speaking objectively...

This is a really well administered trade when you look at what we gave up and what we're paying.

Speaking personally...

I'm not a Baker Mayfield fan, but I'll hope for the best.

Yea 5 mil and 5th rounder. But its just so hilarious

However I can think of Dak, Russell and Carr that were drafted in the 2nd or 3rd and could come in and play right off the bat.  If they can play they can play, sitting a qb is a strategy from yesteryear

It's like people forgot 3rd round rookie Davis Mills existed last year. Was he great? No. But he showed enough for the Texans to know how to approach this offseason at the QB position.

What would your plan be?  Throwing in Matt before hes ready just because you want him to be is the definition of throwing poo at the wall.

The plan should be, if we truly had a first round grade on him, would be to have Ben M build an offense around MC that wouldnt overwhelm him in week 1 and build from there.  Give him every fuging rep you can in practice and at least see what you have.  At some point in the season you will have an pretty concrete idea if he can play and grasp what you are trying to accomplish.  If so awesome you ahve a cheap qb to build around, if not and he is a disaster draft another one.  This isnt hard

That's short term thinking.

So after this year, you either have to extend Baker for starting QB money, or you have to go into 2023 with Corral as essentially a rookie after getting very few reps in 2022. 

Lots of qbs sit and learn their first season.  Especially mid round picks.  If he doesnt learn anything all season because he is hypothetically getting less reps then hes probably not going to be the answer anyways.

While I was fine with not getting him at all, this salary is not prohibitive if he flops and the team sucks. Corral could still play just like he might've before and Carolina has someone who has shown way more than Sam.

Bit of an eye-roll at Rhule, but a much more friendly move than their other boneheaded QB pickups.

desperation move. I don't mind the price of a 2024 conditional 5th, but doesn't feel like there's any sort of long term vision. What good does winning 8-9 games this year instead of 5-6 do?

Well... Winning 9 games is better than 5 games. Math!

      Gameday Thread: KC-CAR

      By mav1234 · Posted

      KC has a very good defense this year. It is 5th overall. Yes, still worse than last year, but their offense is considerably worse. Their passing D may be their "weakness" but they still allow fewer than 20 ppg. BY completed several deep passes yesterday, and he was able to threaten downfield in ways he didn't seem capable of before the benching. I'm not necessarily worried about his ability to connect deep anymore. What to me was impressive was that he did all this without a run game. We used the pass to set up what little running success we had. Wild.

      Bryce developing before our eyes

      By Bear Hands · Posted

      Solid and fair assessment.   I will say, one of the big things I noticed yesterday was that he wasn't shy to step up into the pocket in the face of pressure.  He's trusting the IOL.  And they took care of Chris Jones yesterday.  We had clean pockets but also good success rate vs. pressure which just hasn't been the case with Bryce.   If he has more confidence the OL gets it done and he can navigate and step up for throws, that's huge.  It's one of the biggest things that's held him back.  He was previously bailing quickly and just too easily throwing away or making dead plays.     He was finding his 2nd to 3rd reads within structure/without bailing in the pocket.  That was nice to see, as much concern I have with him.  And the overall limitations will always be there. Time to back it up this week against the Bucs.

      Some Thoughts on Our Remaining Games

      By 45catfan · Posted

      Suddenly the Cowgirls look like our best chance for a win remaining. I think the Bucs are playing better than the Falcons of late.  Our lone game versus the dirty birds is in the ATL where we always struggle.  The Cardinals are marginally better than I thought they would be. We are not beating the Eagles, they are starting to roll. I'm saying two at most, next week at home versus the Bucs and the Cowgirls.
