Kiwibrown Posted October 26, 2020 Author Share Posted October 26, 2020 (edited) We dont have the roster to be not drafting in the 1st round. Trading for obj shows how much it hurts not filling the roster with top talent. We dont have defensive depth. We could have had an average safety and dexter Lawrence.

Yeah, gosh, imagine looking at our defense today and what we did on offense and thinking we can afford to trade away multiple, multiple first round picks, second round picks, and others to maybe get a higher upside quarterback. Oof. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LETSGOBROWNIES Posted October 26, 2020 Share Posted October 26, 2020 If OBJ’s injury is as bad, we’ll have 9 games to see what Baker looks like without him. If he continues to play well, he’s likely moved. Not because he’s not good, but because he’s not necessary. It would also open up more money for defensive talent. OBJ is great, but he’s not been great with Baker. If Baker can excel without him, I’m not sure what more there is to discuss as far as OBJ goes tbh. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oof. That’s should fix things. And when he isn’t good immediately we sell the farm for Arch Manning. And if he sucks, some badass 9th grader. And if he... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oof. A higher upside qb that as soon as he throws a pick will be lambasted and by dream replaced by the next high stat cat from the ncaa.

I still think OBJ can be a pretty good receiver (although he may be past his prime), but for whatever reason, he and Baker just don't seem to have the greatest chemistry. During his rookie year, Baker had success by spreading the ball around. Ever since we've brought in OBJ, we all know there's been numerous games where it just feels like Baker is trying to force feed OBJ for whatever reason. And all of a sudden today once OBJ is out Baker starts to spread the ball around more and has a great game. With that said, we won't get much for OBJ in a trade, IMO. Especially if his injury is that serious. I think we'd be lucky to get a third for him. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DawgX Posted October 26, 2020 Share Posted October 26, 2020 Yeah, we're not getting Fields even if we wanted to. He'll be a top 2-5 pick and would cost us so much to trade up to get him, especially when there's going to be numerous teams looking for a QB in the draft. And we have too many needs on defense to be trading so many draft picks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the things that elevated Baker in my opinion in college was his ability to not focus on one wr and spread the ball around. I was ecstatic after watching his first year in the nfl that he spread the ball around up here. Star qb in the making here I thought to myself. He doesn’t need a stud, he just needs a guy that can run a proper route. Then OBJ happened. Now his accuracy is nonexistent. His ability to read the field is nonexistent. His confidence is nonexistent. His ability to spread the ball is nonexistent. Hmmmmm 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oof. It set the rams back possibly 5 years with all of their missing management, paying cooks, Gurley and others. Trading for that crazy cb who they haven't extended yet. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He wasn’t great at spreading the ball around today. But he delivered a game winning ball to a guy that up to this point his greatest achievement was people wanting to replace him as kick returner. Let that sink in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He literally spread it to every possible pass catcher lol Im not going to get up set that the 3rd string RB, 4th string TE, and FB didnt catch a pass today. After OBJ went down, only 3 WRs were available and the all caught their passes (Jarvis, Higgs, and DPJ). Had two TEs make their big catches, Not upset that Carlson didnt get any looks. Sucks he didnt target the FB /s I would say he was spreading the wealth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
