I think it was a bad fit from the start. Rhule gone, CMac gone. It was a bad situation all-around. No guarantee he finds a home though and certainly more likely to be a backup unless an opportunity arises like San Fran....
Unless his shoulder is still messed up, his biggest problem right now is between the ears. He's capable of QBing a winning team that doesn't need much from a QB. He's done it before.
Of course he did, most likely sitting at home watching the games and the second he saw JimmyG go down, he called his agent.
tough break for those who have been riding Lamar all year long going into the most crucial weeks of the season/playoffs, especially those who took some bad advice and didn't bother with a backup worth a damn
Easy - they need a QB and he's cheap. Stafford's almost 35 and on IR. Gives them options. And Wolford is dinged.
but options to what end? finish 4-13 vs 3-14? Maybe Baker ensures they beat the Broncos, doubtful they can win any of their others IMHO. A cheaper option is the dudes they already have, which will likely result in the same outcomes
Need him and to cock block the 49ers ( pay back for losing out on McCaffery LOL).
well Baker is a UFA next year, so unless they work out an extension or whatever, next year is irrelevant
They can evaluate him, and if they think he's worth a crap they can extend him as Stafford insurance. This only makes sense if it's really about next year or later.
I think the Rams would only keep him if Stafford is expected to play next year. Mayfield’s best value is for a team with a clear-cut other starter, but one who may not make it a whole season.
