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.

High risk in that they were counting on Baker to be the QB of the future and save their jobs.

He's not gonna play because of that draft pick, it's past the trade deadline but maybe there's a team dealing with injuries that asked for a favor in return for an IOU. Plus it's probably awkward in the QB room for no good reason

It is 100% the 49ers asking for a IOU

Unless I did the math wrong, Baker was at the 5th rounder threshold until his last start.  That bumped him over the 70% threshold.  We would have to make the playoffs for him to get below that again.  In other words, we don't have enough games left for Baker to get below the 70% again.

Im sorry but your math is pretty far off....

Nice guy from all accounts of what I've seen and heard about him on the Panthers. Took being demoted with grace and exuded little drama.

But this was a necessary move. He brings nothing to the table, and he's regressed heavily even post-Rhule. 

Sam Darnold and PJ Walker have shown more potential than him as a QB on this team, and they're the furthest thing from world-beaters.

Wish him success as a backup in this league, but can't imagine he'd ever land another starting gig for a long time.

Pretty much this. I thought he would be a disaster in terms of the locker room if things didn't go well but that wasn't the case at all. The guy seemed to come in with the right attitude and did everything the staff asked him to do. That's all I can ask of a player. I'm not pissed at Baker. I'm not pissed at Sam. I'm not pissed at Armanti Edwards and Amini and Pickles from years passed. I'm pissed that we have an overall sorry ass organization.

      Snow in the high country

      By rayzor · Posted

      yeah. winter backpacking trips were the most miserable and amazing experiences. same with the coldest and snowiest hunting  experiences. i love being in it. makes for incredible memories. the worse it was, the more i ended up loving it. made the greatest memories.  i just want to get out of it afterwards.

      If you wanted Danny Dimes here’s the chance

      I forgot about Jackson...definitely elite.  The sad part of your list is that 2 of them were 'there for the taking for the Panthers'.  Rumor has it that Hurney loved Herbert and was vetoed on trying to trade up.  And rumor has it that Frank & McCown wanted Stroud.  I believe both rumors.

      Snow in the high country

      By LinvilleGorge · Posted

      I went on a solo elk hunt in the Flat Tops. It was awesomely miserable. LOL It was a late season hunt, I think third season and it was forecasted to snap off cold with highs in the upper thirties and lows in the single digits. fug it, I'm going anyway. They were wrong. The highs were in the low 20s and the lows were in the negative teens. I shivered so hard the first night I thought my teeth were going to break. It was the only time I've ever been legit concerned that I might be in trouble. Crawled out of my sleeping bag and got a fire started and suffered through the night bundled up next to the fire. I slept the next two nights literally wearing every stitch of clothing I'd brought with Nalgenes full of near boiling water in the bottom of my sleeping bag. That was the only way to have non-frozen water in the morning anyway. There was about a foot of snow on the ground and the melt/freeze crust was almost enough to support your weight but you'd go crashing through just as you went or make your step. It was exhausting travel and every step sounded like a rifle shot. Hunting was basically impossible. I never saw an elk in those four days, only saw 5-6 deer. LOL It was brutal but I loved it. Absolutely beautiful country that is never been to before and haven't been back since. I needed that four day complete break from society fighting for my life against the elements. I'm weird like that.
