The National Football League

Neither of those guys will on the Niners.  (Wentz, Mayfield)
Could see Matt Ryan if he gets cut loose, though.

I like Ryan. He's getting a back shake in Indy. Three interceptions against the cowboys but at least one was a deflection and the others were desperation throws to attempt to get us back in the game. He has been put in an impossible position.

The press is brutal toward him.

That whole game is pretty crazy in terms of perception. The Colts were right there with them into the 4th quarter. Had the 4th gone the way the rest of the game did, I think people would be talking about the Cowboys struggling to defeat a mediocre-ish squad. A flukey 15 minutes later and ---bam...Cowboys are now frontrunners to win the Super Bowl.

Meanwhile the 11-1 Eagles absolutely demolish a tough Titans squad and nobody seems to care...but we fans like it that way though. Make us the underdogs, pretty please!

49ers need a QB now.  Baker is getting let go now.  Matt Ryan isn't going anywhere.

Baker is not good in NFL and doesn't know the system.  Purdy is a rookie who has been studying the system and is likely to make rookie errors like throwing picks, wasting timeouts, taking sacks etc.
Otherwise known as "pulling a Baker Mayfield"

It is damn tough to be on qb#3, for sure, but this Niners fan would rather go with a rookie who may make lots of rookie mistakes, than a veteran who I feel confident will make lots of rookie mistakes and who also potentially disrupts the team flow.

Ryan knows the system or else I wouldn't have thrown in a reply on him.  I know he is on the Colts.

A few weeks ago the Colts almost beat the Eagles....lost 17-16 at home

I seem to recall that game.

Purdy will make mistakes because of a lack of experience, Baker makes them because he tries to make "hero plays". The way the team is built, the QB has to be efficient, not a superstar. Run the ball, get the ball to the playmakers to let them go off, and let the defense shut down the other team. Even with Jimmy, if the defense had a bad game we weren't going to win very many shootouts.

Yeah, pretty much agree with this.  I know we would both love to have the type of qb who could be a game changer (why we drafted TL, of course) but more important to not turn the ball over and be able to throw on time.

Outside of planting the flag vs. THEosu, I kinda like Baker. Hopefully, he gets a chance somewhere. Maybe LA? Stafford may be done.

I still feel the same about him but good for him and I am sure he feels great.

Reporting from Cleveland that Browns will offer Watson and 3 first rounders for Baker.  I like the deal. 

Would be worth the 3 firsts to get out from under that contract.
