The thread obviously grabbed your attention enough for you to not only reply but also participate in the poll you clown  😂

Baker has been pretty disappointing and less than 50 yards in a half speaks for itself but he doesn't throw those absolutely backbreaking and morale destroying interceptions into triple and quadruple coverage from a clean pocket like you're favorite NFL player. You should probably take it easy calling others morons and clowns all the time considering your taste in NFL quarterbacks.

Baker has protected the ball. That’s an automatic start over darnold.

 

also, he led four scoring drives last week. Darnold did that total in his last 4 games. 

Depends on the way you look at it.  If you compare 2021 Darnold Weeks 1-3 vs. 2022 Baker Weeks 1-3, Darnold was better and it's not even close.  The problem is that Darnold fell off a cliff shortly after, presumably in part as teams adjusted to his tape.  We really can't afford for Baker to get any worse, we have to hope he inversely improves significantly as the season goes on where Darnold crumbled. 

I do think Baker has the mental fortitude to overcome early struggles and keep his poise, whereas Darnold just seemed to too often go into panic mode and snowball if things went wrong.

Darnold struggled because too much pressure was put on him once CMC went down to go along with a terrible oline. Losing CMC and Arnold at the same time  sabotaged the offense because Darnold had built so much rapport with them during training camp, then losing them at the same time, it was too much to handle. The Offensive Line also couldnt handle it. YOu literally had 3rd stringers playing Left Tackle.. Too much to overcome for a QB in a new system.

 

This Offensive Line is much better. I expect Sam to do very well in this offense.

I cant believe I agreed with an entire post of yours.... Fire. 

It must be Sam himself or maybe his mother.

He is clearly a troll account. Pay him no attention…

    • NFL Pro has the All-22 up already 😄 Going to grab a play or two from each redzone series to put screenshots to. Looks like AT angled his route off to the near pylon rather than the back corner where Bryce was throwing to. I imagine this is something they'll quickly try to figure out with Thielen back from IR. After watching the All-22 again, this was actually a pretty nifty play. I thought it was a TE screen to Tremble because of the way XL charged the DB, but he quickly shed and kept upfield as seen in the second screenshot. This looks like it had multiple layers built into it with AT running the crosser, XL the fade, Tremble to the flat. The progression would call for the play to go to Chuba here as the LB does follow Tremble out into the flat. Ball hits Chuba low and in the hands, but the LB does a good job disrupting the catch.
    • The bottom lines to me are that a) we played well enough to beat the best team in the league and b) Bryce Young is growing into a bridge QB role (his ceiling) for us. As much as I don't want BY around after the season, it seems DC can still build the O with a game manager at QB for now. Best case scanario, we can build the D through the draft this year and take a QB we have conviction outside the 1st this or next draft. If BY keeps improving, we are going to win a couple more games this year.
    • Bryce has been a completely different QB since coming back. That started in Denver where it was obviously he was playing a lot more loose and willing to push the ball downfield  Bryce continues to build off of the previous weeks performance and that’s what you want to see Bryce has been making some real good anticipation throws. Reading defenses well. Pushing the ball downfield (7 throws of 20+ air yards yesterday. 8 if you want to include PI to Thielen). The deep ball accuracy has been there. Some of Young’s best throws yesterday were incompletions. Sideline balls to XL and Moore both should’ve been caught. RZ dot to Tremble should’ve been caught. And another RZ ball to Moore that Young gave him a chance at. Bryce is starting to execute Canales offense and yesterday Canales finally opened it up a bit. Canales was to blame for the 126 passing yards in Germany as he played a more conservative game.  The next bit I’m looking for his for Young to be a bit more decisive with running the ball. Start putting that on film and it’ll help open things up a tad
