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?

Puts us in contention for a wild card spot and gives us 50% more wins than we've had the last 3 years?

Great trade in the void of you aren’t looking at Corral’s development, aren’t realizing how much we wasted on Sam and Teddy, are ignoring Corral’s development and are ignoring the lesser chance of getting a franchise QB in 2023.

Hopefully it works out somehow but I don’t really feel like we will be better off after this year. I still agree that the trade itself is good value, way the fug better than our prior two year’s QB deals.

I don't think this trade was about Corral.

The only honest to goodness effect I see this having on him is that he's now even less likely to play this season than he already was.

But again, it was never about him.

What would you rather them do?

Continue the current shitshow until the curtain closed on the Darnold era, either by seasons end or his being usurped by Matt. Draft a qb and sign a vet to round out the 3 deep and go from there. It's going to take a miracle to change the trajectory of the dumb ass decision to sign and start Darnold. Throwing mediocrity at this thing is just prolonging the inevitable.

Ill give you rodgers but no way on mahomes, there were articles his rookie year about how he was destroying the practices and making the vets lose their mind.  He could have started week 1

 

and then again AR had some of the best coaching/qb coaching there ever was.  I dont see rhule and co in that same regard

Huh... that QB coach is now our OC!

I get what you are saying I really do, however you are creating a headache, not just by bring in this headcase to the looker room but what do you do if he wins say 7-8-9 games?  Whats the plan then?

Edit to say:  If he makes the playoffs I would eat the biggest helping of crow ever on this board but come on we all know that aint happening

Didn't say I wanted us to do it. I actually didn't.

But it's done...

Quit complaining lets fuging go. We have a quarterback that lead the fuging browns on a playoff run two years ago. He now has the best line hes ever had with weapons across the board.

you are high

2020 he had Chubb at RB, and OBJ and Jarvis Landry at WR. I can't comment about his O-line, but he certainly had weapons-a-plenty.

And if Baker balls out and we make the playoffs (NFC is pretty weak this year overall) then we just got an Oceans Eleven style heist by getting him. 

Then we have to either franchise tag him or pay him roughly 5 years $150 million

you comfortable doing that?

He has had a top 5 line every year he's been in the league, with multiple pro-bowlers.

So Baker ate 3.5 million to come here.  So much for not wanting Carolina.

We paid 5 mill and a conditional 2024 5th rounder.  He's an upgrade over Sam.  I guess we'll see how much.

He didn't have much choice. Either come here and show what he can do for the entire league to get a starter level contract next year, or sit at home.

      If you wanted Danny Dimes here’s the chance

      By strato · Posted

      Too late to edit above but the quote is from this Diane Russini article in the Athletic: https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/5941684/2024/11/23/russinis-what-im-hearing-the-day-the-jets-fell-apart-and-the-broncos-rallied-belichick-best-fits/ Okay.. there you have sorry I left that out the first post.  Also waivers keep the contract intact. That is the major difference in released and waived. It's all in that link from the other post.

      Okay so I am reading something in The Athletic and it says that Jones had to pass through waivers. So I don't know. I looked this stuff up when we were number one there all offseason and I thought it said 4 years in the league got you vested, as they call it.  Vested gets you out of waivers as I understood it. I probably got something wrong, but when I think about the slack quality of journalism these days I wonder about that. So I went and looked, again. Well, well.  For everyone: "When a player has accrued at least four seasons in the NFL, they are considered a vested veteran. When these vested veterans get cut, they are released and their contract is terminated. When a vested veteran is released, they are an unrestricted free agent that can sign with any NFL team, and the team that released them doesn’t need to provide any additional compensation." It runs it all down here, where the quotes came from: https://www.profootballnetwork.com/waived-vs-released-nfl/ As far as Jones, the team turned down his 5th year option so I knew that meant he had 4 years in, because they re-signed him anyway, after turning down the much cheaper extra year.  The Athletic is owned by the New York Times so I shouldn't be surprised. That paper was an institution once upon a time but they let their standards go.
