He’s smart/tough enough and I thought his arm talent was really impressive his rookie season. With that running game it just doesn’t make sense that he’s closer to mediocre than great. He’s short, not athletic, and struggles with the mental side of the game. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is a scheme dependent QB and thats why he will never be elite. Guys like Allen Rodgers Mahomes Burrow Herbert Wilson Stafford are all talented enough to post exceptional numbers in any system or style. Baker has to have a offense built around him. While he still has arm talent, he also has major holes and deficiencies of things he cannot do that hurts the team. Mainly, he can't read a defense pre-snap, it's easy to force him intot urnovers by disguising and his footwork/fundamentals are undisciplined.

candyman93 Posted March 20, 2022 Share Posted March 20, 2022 To answer the question, I bet he gets traded to Indy for a 3rd. He fits scheme wise and I have no idea what Indy is going to do without a 1st rounder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teen Girl Squad Posted March 20, 2022 Share Posted March 20, 2022 39 minutes ago, candyman93 said: He’s short, not athletic, and struggles with the mental side of the game. Basically this. He can't see the field/read a defense at a high level and he cannot play off script at all. If his first read/designed play is open and he has time, he looks great. If the play isn't there/there's pressure/he needs to adjust, its all over the place. He's very Goff-esque in that way. He likes to scramble (which he's no great at,though not terrible) so people overrated his ability to playmake. Also, despite all the controvery, the "they need an adult" comment wasn't a smokescreen. Baker is quite immature and the lack of teammakes who have publicly defended Baker alludes to that (even Goff got some solid support though the they knew he wasn't the guy). 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AkronsWitness Posted March 20, 2022 Share Posted March 20, 2022 Does anybody else find it wild that Watson is actually younger than Mayfield? I certainly do lol I thought he would be 1-2 years older. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s a good hold the fort guy, but Seattle has lost so many pieces at this point. Indy should be the answer, although I think they make a play for Ryan if feasible.

It'd be so weird to move on from Wentz just to acquire Baker . 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like Burrow being like 7 months younger than Josh Allen or Mac Jones only being a year younger than Sam Darnold Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like, that would probably sell me on the idea that he's a terrible teammate or a locker room cancer / whatever. edit - theres smoke there now, just saying that would just give it a TON of credence imo Edited March 20, 2022 by Soggust 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kelce entered the league at 24 and did not do much as a rookie. Gronk was 21 and had 10 TDs as a rookie so we were aware of him right away.

SHONUFF Posted March 20, 2022 Share Posted March 20, 2022 Baker is really in no position to dictate where he wants to go. Frankly very few teams are considering him. I think Indy just got rids of older Baker, and the Seahawks dont want to waste picks then worry about negotiating with him next year. Is anyone else interested in the slightest? My thought is that he may get released. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's the type of risk/reward QB that both of those franchises could gamble on for 1 season. Especially Seattle since they just got a boat load of picks from the Wilson trade.
