From Brady to Baker...

I don't know man. Baker completed 70% of his passes at OU two years in a row. He might not be a good enough QB when the bullets are flying live at NFL speeds, but I am not going to pretend like lobbing passes to half trotting practice squad tight ends running routes vs air as any indictment. 

 

First Pass - Domonique Dafney, TE. Barely employed last year, signed and cut to 3 different PS. In GB for 20 and 21, where he caught 4 passes for 60 yards. 
Second Pass - Ko Keift, TE. Rookie last year. 6th round pick in 2022. Dressed for 17 games, 7 catches for 80 yards.

Just read an article that states one sportsbook has Brady listed as the favorite for the QB position on the Raiders if Jimmy G fails his physical.

 

Don't think I'd mind that as it would make KC's life much more difficult.

 

I know a Raiders fan who is convinced this was planned and will happen.

Kind of amazing that three guys from that five-man QB class turned out to be total busts.  (I'm putting Mayfield in the "bust" category, and I'm ignoring Mason Rudolph because I don't recall him as being in the same tier as the other guys).

 

It is amazing for all the (deserved) hype that class had. Although I also wonder how much the Browns, Jets, and Cardinals orgs were responsible for that vs the individual players. Those are arguably the 3 worst managed franchises in the league, and all of them saw constant churn and upheaval on their coaching staffs.

 

I'd be interested in seeing how it played out if, for example, Baker ended up going to the Ravens who are on the opposite end of that spectrum as one of the best managed orgs in the league.

 

I was never a Baker believer, still not. But seeing Cleveland do him so dirty made me pull for him a little more. It was fun watching him step in and win that Rams game last year. I dont really care what he does from here.

I think the trolling in team during practice is super corny. Like making mistakes is what practice if for (see the Mahomes training camp tread). That said, I think both of those guys aren’t good. 
 

Williams is that good and while it’s really hard to tank in the nfl, this year a bunch of teams are trying their best.
