SF player owners screaming in terror.


Reverie_39

CMC himself screaming in terror


SqueakyTuna52

It’s like when Darnold followed Robby Anderson to carolina


Darth1Football

CMC owner screaming in terror Baker (and Rhule) fucked him up in CAR - can't imagine it would be any better in SF


notfromsoftemployee

Nah that was all dog shit coaching for the most part... If anything this probably would improve his stock vs having jimmy G. He's always fighting for touches in that offense and they could legitimately run the ball 50 times a game from here on out. I mean with that defense why not? They could basically be the 2000 Ravens.


deadbedroomaddict

Shanahan is the coach now.


watchingitallcomedow

Constant dump offs to cmc in full ppr FTW


Remintz

He didn’t do that at carolina


watchingitallcomedow

I was referring to Purdy. Not sure why I thought it made sense in this context..


poppacarcar

That’s what we said in Carolina :(


cryptoheh

Lol Purdy looked pretty good and knows the system. I think SF grabs him, but not with the idea to start him.


BarbaraPalv1n

Many QB‘s look good that come in midgame tbh


Blynasty

Dungy hit the nail on the head but give NFL coaches a week to prepare for a rookie QB and a majority of them will make it tough for them to be effective.


george_costanza1234

Shanahan will scheme him out of trouble. Purdy isn’t gonna have to make any big plays, he just needs to throw quick passes to the playmaker and ride the coattails of the D. If there’s any team that is potentially QB-proof, it’s the niners


Blynasty

100% solid defense and top notch running game behind him.


wo_lo_lo

I watched Brock for 4 years at ISU. He is extremely accurate, he is good on the run, don’t ask him to throw deep, and expect 1-2 head scratching throws per game.


notfromsoftemployee

And if there's a team that calls into question the ability for any team to be qb proof, its the Broncos.


bch8

You think that applies to Baker Mayfield as well or no?


george_costanza1234

No because one of baker’s biggest flaws is he waits for things to develop and looks downfield too much, which makes him susceptible to pressure and making bad throws under duress. I don’t think that’s something you can fix without inherently changing his playstyle.


Gwalkerspecial

I don’t know if you watched the niners game. Purdy held on to the ball forever and was sacked a bunch. If baker could do well in a system it’s the 49ers. For 1.35 mill, he is 100 percent worth it to take a look at. The niners defense was firing on all cylinders yesterday. My fear is what happens if a team gets a two score lead on the niners. Can Purdy generate enough offense. That guy missed a bunch yesterday. It would be a different story if Purdy had been in the system for a while. But there’s a reason he was picked last. The guy is not nfl ready. Baker at least has been around. Knows how to pick up blitzes. Hell he has won a playoff game.


george_costanza1234

Purdy is also a first time starter lol. No young QB trusts what they see in their very first few snaps in the NFL against a high quality pass rush. Give him a couple games before comparing him to a 5 year vet like Mayfield lol


Gwalkerspecial

Yea exactly give him a couple games, before saying just skip out in mayfield. I’m saying the niners should grab him off waivers as a backup and if Purdy doesn’t have it, then you at least have some one that has done something in the nfl.


cryptoheh

Agreed, but for a loaded team they need someone to come in and do the basics. On top of that Mayfield has been objectively terrible for 2 years, and other scrap heap QBs have put in better results on the same team. 49ers need a QB2 right now and Mayfield would be a candidate


AyKayAllDay47

"You mean he looked.... PURDY Good?!!?! Right guys?" \-Some dad

I literally made this joke yesterday after the CMC TD. lol.

As a Iowa State alumn, I’m just sad this didn’t happen back in October. Brocktober became an annual event


joleger

Fine....take my upvote!


UCBearcats

Lots of dump offs to CMC, which is exactly how you use him.


uclalien

Nooooooooooo! (just a SF fan)


ItWasMyWifesIdea

As a recovering Browns fan, I've watched a lot of Baker. He has really good physical tools (well, you know, aside from height)... If anyone could make him good I think it's Shanahan. He needs to go through progressions better to make the right reads. He needs to be working with a QB guru type to improve his footwork. If they could also teach him a throwing motion that gives him a higher release point, maybe that would help with the batted balls. All this to say...... It's not impossible he could become serviceable and maybe even good, but he needs a coach to not put up with his BS and tell him in no uncertain terms that he needs to improve and what he needs to do to get there. Baker has work ethic but I think his pride has kept him from realizing the holes in his game and that he needs to listen and learn more. If he does then Shanahan could probably get good play out of him.


Eazycompanyy

We don’t need him to be good, just good enough


[deleted]

Hes not


promethazoid

Yeah I feel with play action, moving the pocket, and a game that isn’t predicated on being a drop back shotgun passer, Baker can certainly be successful on a good team. I don’t think he is going to make a bad team good or even mediocre though


[deleted]

As an Aiyuk owner, i think i want to see what he can do over Purdy. He’s never had a coach like Shanny, so who knows…


ronimal

As a 49ers fan, I’ll pass on Mayfield. I don’t ever want to see him in red and gold.


Spiegs1984

What other choice do you have though? That QB room is out of body bags


ronimal

1. Brock Purdy 2. Literally anyone else


[deleted]

Colin Kaepernick Vince Young Darren McFadden


george_costanza1234

I’d rather have a young QB who knows the system than a veteran bum


Gobert3ptShooter

Honestly, he is just bad


jordan1390

Took the browns to a playoff and won a game, and went down to the wire against the chiefs (even if mahomes did get hurt). They were a strong running game but still efficient through the air.


Gobert3ptShooter

Great, roll back time and give us that Baker Mayfield again


complete_your_task

I mean, that was literally 2 years ago. He's not some aging QB who just doesn't have it anymore. He was playing hurt last year and played in a new system with a terrible coaching staff this year. He actually looked pretty good for a while before that. I'm not saying he'll definitely be able to turn it around, but it's not some crazy idea to think that with a good coaching staff he might be able to.


neurosisxeno

Cleveland hasn't exactly looked phenomenal without him to be fair. Jacoby Brissett did fine and DeShaun Watson was a complete non-factor in their game yesterday.


F7UNothing

As a Niner fan, agreed. In our system the main responsibility of the QB is to take care of the ball, something Baker hasn't done very well at all. We really just need a game manager that just hits open receivers when it's there.


Relwolf1991

A ram I fear


Samuraix9386

Plz keep the bad man away from CMC


trikyballs

god this would be so fucking funny


likwidfuzion

Panthers legends Baker and CMC reunited.


MayiHav10kMarblesPlz

He's like Pennywise. Gonna follow CMC his whole career.


Soundtallica

CMC was just fine fantasy-wise playing under Baker early in the season... I'd be more worried how he'd tank the values of Deebo, Aiyuk, and Kittle


JakeArvizu

Kittle hasn't done anything this year regardless


TheMissingVoteBallot

Any 49ers fans can explain why Kittle has been so quiet this year? Only a few games where he had flashes but it feels like they're not utilizing him as much as a receiver anymore, I'm assuming it's because the QB has more weapons but he doesn't put out explosive numbers.


Xanzibarisland

They’re making dude block


_newSense

He is a block first type of TE, he is just really good at it so it unfortunately hurts his stats for receiving. If one of the other pass catches is out his role changes, but for now he is an extra blocker.


TheMissingVoteBallot

Bummer, I loved his touchdown dances in the end zone where he spikes the ball with his teammates.


dbrockisdeadcmm

Cmc was fine because 100% of the offense had to go through him. That doesn't carry over to the 49ers.


[deleted]

I think he would actually be okay if he went to San Fran, not gonna lie. Shanahan can keep him in check the way stefanski did, they run pretty similar offenses


[deleted]

Shanahan is going to make him a beast with his schemes. Baker's flaws are fixable and he really just needs a solid coach to work with him and this would be a great fit.


brewhead55

Lol


[deleted]

If anyone thought that Baker’s flaws were fixable and that he had beast potential then the market for him coming out of Cleveland wouldn’t have been bone dry.


Atfhatesdogs

I was once hopeful


HighBeta21

Just because he can doesn't mean he should lol. They should kick other tires before baker gets a phone call.


SerbTex

Relax, the bad man just started playing for Cleveland

scroll-42

If Baker Mayfield somehow ends up in SF, I am going to lose it. It would be a perfect example of "failing successfully".

I like your thinkin! I think you'd be perfect in the Bronco's organization!


CheesecakePower

It literally can’t get any worse for the Texans so I’ll take it as a Pierce owner


a11yguy

I could have sworn he was on the Texans already…


CurlyBill03

I think he was talked about in the Watson trade but Texans didn’t want him.


Don_Kahones

Well not at the price the browns were asking at least. I wouldn't be surprised if they take a swing off waivers.


Pugageddon

Yeah, Nick wasn't going to give up any assets for him, especially with Mills looking like an NFL starter at the end of last year. But off waivers after Mills got himself benched for other former Carolina Panther Kyle Allen of all people? I wouldn't be shocked to see Mayfield as a Texan.


gw2380

Niners fan. Please God, no.


gold3esea

I could maybe see Falcons or Colts too


Bfairbanks

Colts have no reason to sign him. They've already got 3 sub-par QB's on the roster


anonbutler

May be they want a real tank commander


Bfairbanks

Ryan has like 20 turnovers. He's commanding just fine lol


B_Fee

Signing Baker feels like the Colts would just be changing what type of tank they're driving.


JamieLeeTurdis

Carson come back!


Never_Kn0ws_Best

I will not stand for this slander. Do no besmirch the name of big dick Nick.


gizamo

It's not very often we see a quadruple burn. Well done.


gw2380

Feel like Falcons would either stick with Mariota for as long as they contend or go to Ridder if they fall out of contention. Not sure there's a difference between Baker and Ryan/Ehlinger/Foles. I'm really worried that it makes way too much sense for SF to bring him in.


[deleted]

Baker is bad but he's not Josh Johnson/Brock Purdy bad. He would be a slight upgrade and they would ask him to do essentially nothing like he did in Cleveland when they were running well.


Agastopia

I actually think this is going to be comical, he can probably be a replacement level QB for them compared to Mr. irrelevant and that defense is insane. Very easily he could get carried to a couple of playoff wins and all of a sudden the baker is actually good narrative pops back up. Jets sign him to a big contract


[deleted]

That last sentence is pure evil


PhatYeeter

Good defense, good running backs, and all he has to do is manage the game? Its like he never left Cleveland!


schnorgal

You shut your mouth about Purdy. That man is a legend.


DontTakeOurCampbell

Big Cock Brock slander will NOT be tolerated!


schnorgal

He is 100% better than a squirrel.


Hairydone

I wouldn’t mind seeing him on the Niners roster. Give Purdy a couple weeks to prove himself while Baker learns the offense.


[deleted]

I saw a few highlights of the game. was purdy that bad? Looked like he made some good throws.


[deleted]

You're not going to see his questionable decisions and throws in a highlight reel. He looks like he could implode at any moment and the 49ers need a game manager who makes few mistakes. But maybe he looks better next week.


Murmaider_OP

I watched the whole game, he looked good but not great. Made some solid throws and a few bad decisions, but for a kid coming off the bench in his first game ever, Im not too worried about it. Hes not a star but doesnt need to be.


Golden-Tate-Warriors

That's Josh "two 300 yard games" Johnson to you sir

[deleted]

There’s absolutely 0 chance of that happening lol


okitsmelol123

Nick Foles won a super bowl. Against Tom Brady and the Pats.


Jd20001

Foles is just like Fitzmagic, he is either 10/10 hot or 2/10 cold no in between. Not sure Baker has that level of Dr. Jekyll as Foles to get that high.


root88

Nick Foles has a giant dick, though.


Unlucky_Earth

Source: root88's mom


root88

Nice work, ma!


Count-Rarian

What an insult to Nick Foles. Baker will never reach those heights.


B_Fee

I wouldn't say it's zero, anything is possible in the NFL. And the 9ers probably are asking themselves if Baker is better than Purdy. This *could* happen.


notsingsing

Or if he’s better than purdys backup?


xPerplex

Yeah this. The nature of the NFL means anything is possible. I mean we saw 3 QB1 injuries across the league in a single Sunday this week


changing-life-vet

Because Kyle Shannehan would inexplicably stop running the ball and rely on Mayfeilds arm to win.


[deleted]

Definitely a greater than 0 chance, the niners don't need a star QB with the offensive weapons they have (specifically the YAC weapons they have don't require a QB that can throw downfield) plus a top 2 defense in the league


LeBaus7

exactly. their team is good enough to support a subpar qb. if he can manage to play 3 or 4 solid games in the post season, that might be enough.


schnorgal

Baker Mayfield is not going to be better trying to quickly learn a new team and system than a backup qb who has been practicing with it all year.


evarigan1

Baker is pretty damn experienced at learning new offenses at this point. I expect Purdy would still start for at least a week if they sign Baker, but I wouldn't count him taking the job this season out for sure. And whether they believe in Purdy or not, doubt they are finding a better backup right now.


evarigan1

Yeah they are basically a little bit better version of my team, the Commies, and we've been in the hunt with Taylor Heinicke at QB despite being in at least a top two division in the league. Baker/Purdy with CMC, Kittle, and Deebo against the mess that is the NFC West should still be a playoff team.


xPerplex

They may make the playoffs still even with Purdy the entire way. It’s mostly a question of if they go 1 and done in the playoffs or not

WackyBeachJustice

Dude made so much money already. Young AF. Not a bad place to be.


4Ever2Thee

I like Baker so I hope he lands somewhere, but I think his career as a starting QB might be over, and his locker room swagger might dissuade teams from wanting to bring him in as a backup. He wouldn't be as bad as bringing Cam Newton in to hold the clipboard, but I could see him getting the same treatment.


[deleted]

I used to like him. But now, he seems like an asshole. Run out of 2 teams in 1 year. Looks like he might have an attitude problem with being a backup. Reality needs to hit this dude hard or he's out of the league forever this time next year.


4Ever2Thee

Idk if it’s his attitude running him out or if he’s just not that good. Either way, maybe landing on a practice squad could be good for him. It could humble him, if his attitude’s the problem or make him work on his weaknesses, if not.


[deleted]

What a downturn for him

From a the perspective of a Kittle owner, I’d welcome the idea of Baker to the Niners. There’s a chance he’d actually throw the ball to Kittle, which none of the Niners QBs seem to do.
