Baker in the RZ

	TD	Int
2018	20	0
2019	15	3
2020	21	0
2021	12	0
Total	68	3

That gives me a warm, fuzzy. 

If the new staff can add to that by not looking like the Keystone Kops when we get there and they have to get a play called, that would be even better.  Of course, maybe the old staff was so shocked to be in the RZ they just couldn't function.

When Sam threw an int on first down,  the first play of the MN game, with plenty of time to throw, giving the ball to MN on our 22,  all hope was gone.  Sorry Sam.  I just can't watch you anymore.

Bye

For all the talk about guys have to earn their spots and the guys from last year starting, there's this:

 

It's a travesty he is being allowed to work with the 3's. He needs to be with the 4's and assisting with the janitorial duties.

I'm not sure what Baker was doing there? That looked intentional to me.

It was.

He shuffled his feet to get himself in a better position to make the throw so that he wasn't going across his body.

Noticed it when I first watched the clip...

Good luck, PJ not going anywhere. 

I would say no way this coaching staff would keep 4 QB. But this is Rhule.

I’m def not pulling for darnold but a TD is better than a FG in 2 min drill. Also baker took a delay of game in that series 

Yeah, it's practice.  Baker is still learning the playbook and building chemistry with guys he has never thrown to before a few days ago.  It's so incredibly stupid that he isn't getting a majority of the reps with the 1's.

The pride of Temple. I'd still take him over Sam Darnold.

Rhule is going to lose the locker room

For comparison Darnold:

         TD-INT

2018 - 5-0

2019 - 8-1

2020 - 2-1

2021 - 6-1

Total - 21-3

Baker is over 3x more likely to get to the red zone and 3x less likely to throw a pick once he gets there. 

I really don't understand the people that think Baker isn't a SIGNIFICANT upgrade over Darnold. It's not even that Baker is Elite, it's just that Sam is THAT BAD.

Baker is certainly uneven. 
In 2018, his 20 RZ TDs would rank him 7th right after Brees. 
In 2019  his 15 RZ TDs would rank him 15th right after Prescott.
In 2020 his 21 RZ TDs would rank him 8th right after Mahommes.
In 2021 his 12 RZ TDs would rank him 22nd right after Hurts (and the same as Heineke)

Seems to match his career to me. Had a good rookie year, had kitchens his second year. Had his best year in 2020 and was injured (and being ran out by his coach) in 2021.

I saw a tweet that said bakers 2 min drill was with the 2's?

NICE catch by TMJ. And Barnes (I think) was draped all over him!

This is going to be a small gripe, but that camera angle and what it showed was just atrocious. Way more interesting to see what's actually happening instead of Darnold's face, a ball somewhere in the air, and a receiver hitting the ground.

Maybe there will be more coming but the team is not doing themselves any favors with this content nonsense.

Yeah, would have been that for me he had given up and sucked the rest of the way. 
 

Instead, led us on a strong comeback attempt with one of the best throws I’ve ever seen deep in our own territory. Should have won that game had the defense not blown it in OT and memories would be a a lot different.
