I know everyone thinks it was a fake and pointless qb competition because obviously Baker was the starter. But apparently there should have been one and it looks like it should have been Sam that won. Or PJ. Save the heat. It was stupid.

I still think PJ Walker is the best QB on the roster.  I think he has been for 2 years.  Pedigree is what gives the others the opportunity.  And PJ Walker sucks.   Don't get it twisted.  But I think he is a better overall QB than Sam Darnold.  Not by a huge margin but I think overall he sees a field better and makes better reads.  I think he is better in the pocket too.  Obviously, he does some really dumb stuff with the ball too though.  PJ is a 3rd string NFL QB.  Which is what Sam is.

I couldnt believe how bad he was.  I thought he was fairly decent a couple of years back but he looks washed up now.

I agree. I’m shocked at how awful he was here. He looked like he was gonna be a really good QB a couple seasons ago. He will catch on as a backup but he has serious issues in his mechanics and is probably done as a legit QB.

He was unfortunately as bad as I feared he was. 

Such a waste of time. 

Thank God the team is cutting his and moving on. 

It was a high-risk, high-reward wager by the Rhule regime that he'd return to form after his shoulder injury. And if his shoulder was pre-2021 shape, it would have paid off. Behind this line, 2019-2020 era Baker probably would have won games. But it's clear as day that shoulder injury is probably lasting. And that's why Rhule is in Nebraska today.

I wouldn't say it was high risk.  The trade was ultimately a 5th round draft pick to kick the tires on Baker.  Sam Darnold was a much higher risk move with the picks involved and the guaranteed salary this year.

We're a clean slate for whoever the HC is.

 

Baker gone.

Darnold is a FA after the season.

PJ is a FA after the season.

Corral is the lone QB left. He's at worst a backup through his rookie deal.

Not a bad ask if a coach is hellbent on getting his guy at QB.

 

True, but we need at least one veteran.  Corral will be a redshirt rookie. I'm not sure Darnold is the guy or not and nobody is going after Walker. I think we bring PJ back for camp if for nothing else than an extra arm with some veteran presence.

      Some love for Steve Wilks

      By frankw · Posted

      I'm not saying he should be working in the NFL. He did deserve some criticism as DC there. But Kyle Shanahan certainly did use him as a convenient scapegoat. Now there is no one left to throw under the bus. Anyways he could find his way back to the league in some capacity who knows. But he's old school and in the NFL you either adjust or you get left behind. All the same no hard feelings toward him he's a good guy.

      Is it too early to lock up Horn to a long term deal?

      By CRA · Posted

      he has barely suited up for 50% of our games.  It matters pending how much of our cap and resources go that way.  If he cost in the ballpark of a Surtain? No thank you.  Let someone else  And as far we know what happens when we let talent walk away or trade them…..that’s a mixed bag.   should we of paid Norman, Bradberry at CB? They probably had earned the right to be called better than Horn at that moment of the decision.  Do we regret that? Do we regret Star walking? Can take it back to Spoon.  Flip side is probably Peppers.

      Bryce Young what a crazy statement

      By frankw · Posted

      We need to get better in the redzone. And yes that is an issue that involves all the moving parts. Oline receivers QB and playcalling. But Bryce himself has to lead the charge on that or surely we could face another blowout in one of these upcoming games. Every team no matter how good they are is going to face an opponent that imposes their will on them and requires the same in response. Those are the games where we have got to capitalize on drives. Honestly I get the sense that the Chiefs on some level overlooked us.  So while I am pleased we were as competitive as we were it certainly remains to be seen if this was the beginning for something new or just an anomaly. I think that's a perfectly fair take at this juncture.
