I hope Jalen Hurts comes in first in MVP voting and Jalen Reagor comes in 3rd.

None of this is happening.

I just bet Hurts at 33/1 like an hour ago lol if they can win 11+ games, he puts up big numbers both rushing and passing then who knows. I like the value though and I have to have a few long shots for MVP each year. I bet Carr at 33/1 as well

This should pan out better than how Darnold faired.

No matter how it turns out, it will be better then the Darnold trade. For what they gave up alone in both trades.

Or the Jets getting a 6th(2021)  and future 2nd and 4th(2022) for Sam Darnold. 

Or the Colts getting a 2nd, 3rd and 3rd for Carson freaking Wentz.

The big difference is that every team knew the Browns had to trade Baker so that altered the price dramatically.

I hope he goes on a revenge tour and balls out.

For a conditional 5th next year? Wow they really just wanted him gone.

He wasn’t going to play and they needed the cap off their books.

Are you guys really that sure that Baker is significantly better than Darnold? 
 

Darnold is awful, but he has never had anywhere close the supporting cast Baker has had since 2019. Yet, Baker has been bad 2 out of the past 3 seasons & in that solid stretch he had in 2020, most of the teams he played against were tanking or just outright bad.

 

 

Honestly, I think there’s a chance Baker might end up worse than Darnold ever was with now equal supporting cast.

Good for him. At this point, landing in an ideal situation isn't a realistic thing, but he's got some good guys in CMC and DJ Moore to work with.

I love him for top 5 (and I mean at 5) for Fantasy Football QB.

I'm not expecting a top 20 MVP placement.

We can dream though.

 

Note: This is a league where Matt Ryan and Lamar Jackson are recent MVPs so taking some of those 33 to 1s might not be the worst idea.

Wow. A relatively young starting QB who is a former #1 pick and has shown flashes of ability for a fifth. What a weird year. Stank arse Darnold got more than that (from the same team) despite showing less.

Has more to do with everyone knowing they could keep working the Browns on the price. None of the teams in the Baker hunt were contenders this year so they could take or leave him and the Browns needed to get rid of him. If hypothetically Wilson weren’t on the Broncos, then maybe a team like that is willing to deal a bit. But right now it’s just bad teams trying to see if they can make a reclamation project work for the future when they may be ready to compete and a desperate team needing him gone.

Significantly? Eh, no, not that much. But definitely noticeably.

This post drastically underrates just how awful Sam Darnold is.

I hope Baker crushes it and Watson never plays another down personally. I'll actively root against the Cleveland Hot Cosby's until Watson and the fools who employed him are gone. Pains me because I love Nick Chubb and a lot of that team.
