Sew that mouth right up and get the guy on the field to play. Baker has talent. not that he’s in that top tier category, but he has talent. His issue is an inability to get out of his own way. He’s not the first NFL quarterback or player to have that issue, but he’s definitely made it his problem. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Me either, Baker is a petulant child. That Colts team is really just a solid QB away from the playoffs. I could envision a bold move for a pro QB like Matt Ryan or Jimmy Garoppolo. If I had to predict, I'd say Baker is going to end up in Seattle or Carolina, franchises going nowhere. Or Atlanta as part of a deal for Ryan. Wherever he goes, it'll probably happen in the next few days! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whatever team Mariota ends up on next is his third chance. The fact that no team was interested in getting him as a starter post Titans says a lot. By 2nd chance, I meant to be a starter. I don't think he that got that with the Raiders. 5 hours ago, Charles Romes said: Noodle arm May be talking to Luck or Rivers. Nothing surprises me anymore.

Not a big baker guy, but really I feel like any decent qb makes them dangerous behind that line with a running game. Maybe they're not big on him with the turnovers though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He lost his starting job to Tannehill who sure wouldn't be confused with Mahomes or Allen. I understand the Titans thought Tannehill was better. I thought he should get a chance to start again. Maybe he learned something (as Tribuski did) from watching. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sweats Posted March 20, 2022 Share Posted March 20, 2022 Indy wants Matty Ice and are willing to hang around until Atlanta figures out what theyre doing with him. I thought Baker might be a good fit for Indy, but they are saying nooooooooooo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Reich would be able to work with him. Plus it wouldn't cost any draft capital. This. He can run the mess out of Reich's RPO stuff also. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billsfan89 Posted March 20, 2022 Share Posted March 20, 2022 The Colts are out of "A-level" options. Wilson and Watson are potential game changers are they are no longer on the market. But the Colts aren't out of starting caliber options either. Jimmy G, Baker and Matt Ryan are all on the market and I would classify them as starting caliber QB's. I think they go with Baker I think they swap their second round pick for a third round pick and a future conditional pick (basically making it an even trade). 5 hours ago, BillsShredder83 said: Hopefully zero. Not a big baker guy, but really I feel like any decent qb makes them dangerous behind that line with a running game. Maybe they're not big on him with the turnovers though Jimmy G is their best option. Jimmy G gives them a quality "game manager" with significant playoff experience (I think he has played in 6 playoff games including a Super Bowl). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toss in Seattle has extra 1st so they could also hedge their nests and draft someone too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

atlbillsfan1975 Posted March 21, 2022 Share Posted March 21, 2022 10 hours ago, Sierra Foothills said: A short excerpt from The Athletic on Matt Ryan: "Here’s what almost everyone in the NFL is thinking right now: There’s no way Matt Ryan can play for Atlanta in 2022. The Falcons have treated the 14-year NFL veteran and face of their franchise too shoddily in pursuit of a player who has shown almost none of the professionalism in his career that Ryan has shown in every year of his. So let’s start the conversation there. All those people are wrong. It’s exactly Ryan’s professionalism that makes it possible he could come back to play for the team that drafted him No. 3 overall in 2008. Who’s to say if it’s probable, but it’s possible. There are better quarterbacks in the National Football League than Matt Ryan. There are none more professional. He is the Uber Pro, to a degree that actually alienates some of his own fan base. His insistence on focusing on the process, taking life a practice rep at a time and stoically approaching the next play with no regard for the last infuriates some people. Many Falcons fans have never loved their quarterback more than when he was flagged for taunting in Week 17 against Buffalo. He cost Atlanta a touchdown because he said unkind things in unkind ways to Bills safety Jordan Poyer. Ryan lost his cool, and it was startling to see because it just doesn’t happen. It was his first unsportsmanlike conduct flag in a 14-year career. Atlanta fans were tickled mostly. That version of Ryan might walk into the Falcons’ facility in Flowery Branch tomorrow and give everyone in the building double (dirty) birds, demand a trade and clean out his locker. Or the all-business Boston College grad might say, “It’s a business; it’s over; let’s get ready for 2022.” Getting to that public response would require some private fence-mending from Atlanta owner Arthur Blank, general manager Terry Fontenot and head coach Arthur Smith, but that’s at least a possibility." It's an interesting situation. I could see a scenario where Arthur Blank throws a bit more money at him to mend fences with Ryan. Ryan already has the biggest cap hit in the NFL next year.

Just out of morbid curiosity, has there even been a coach that has played a down? Is it even allowed. I imagine at some point in the NFL existence there must have been some 35 year old position coach who substituted in an emergency? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
