Arguments could also be made for Herbert and Watson. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also would say a shoulder injury is worse for an NBA player than to a QBs non throwing shoulder Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So he's in that 4-7 territory, just raw arm-strength/throwing ability-wise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He may not have the length to make some of the off balance throws that Mahomes makes but those don't usually have much on them they are just placed well or the receivers adjust well. Allen has a great arm, I haven't really seen enough of him in game to judge how it is in game, I know he can wing it though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But Baker has more than enough arm to do anything he needs to. Allen and Mahomes have better arms, but those are some of the best the league has ever seen. Baker has a 9/10 arm imo. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
candyman93 Posted September 26, 2021 Share Posted September 26, 2021 Baker did borderline between okay - good. Had a few miscues, but threw some beautiful passes as well. Offensive line did him no favors. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NateDawg Posted September 26, 2021 Share Posted September 26, 2021 OBJ didn’t screw in the punch bowl like I half expected so that was a plus. DPJ had a couple nice grabs also. Pretty good from Baker, he did what we needed him to do. Hunt did his thing. Chicago did a pretty good job on defense but couldn’t hold all game, because their defense was on the field most of the time. Our defense did great against a young quarterback. Myles is Myles. Jok needs to play all the time. Bout sums it up for me. Win against Minnesota. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DawgX Posted September 26, 2021 Share Posted September 26, 2021 Yeah, Baker was just "solid' today. Was just off on a handful of throws, especially early. Him missing Felton really hurt at the time. He did hold onto the ball too long on a couple of those sacks, but the OL was not good today. Still made some really good throws and did a good job using his legs today. If Baker plays just an okay game and we still win by 20 points, I can't complain. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you feel like you can confidently say that Baker has a Top 5 arm in the league? Based on a overall combination of arm strength, pinpoint accuracy, big-time throws (i.e., the anlaytics metric), and got to have it throws, the rankings imo are the following: 1.) Patrick Mahomes 2.) Aaron Rodgers 3.) Josh Allen (the one year sample size last year was wild) 4.) Justin Herbert (endurance velocity might be the best in the league, deep ball accuracy is uncanny) 5.) Matthew Stafford (still pinpoint at all levels with power and elite velocity) 6.) Kyler Murray (People don't watch his games. Special accuracy, arm strength, off platform, got to have it throws) 7.) Baker Mayfield (pinpoint and arm strength are everything one could want during long stretches of games, but he misses too many easy open throws and he floats, hangs, or skys too many throws on big downs or in critical moments) Edited September 27, 2021 by Empire Lies Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The OL did him no favors today. to me, that first drive, where we turned it over on downs, it seemed to me the Tretter messed up the snap count cause it seemed like no one was ready for it. Wills struggled. Our right side does not look like it has 2 all pro caliber players and even Bitonio looked bad at times Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
