Won't tell you the team, but there is a fairly recent example of a team benching the #1 overall pick and riding a 2nd round pick to the Super Bowl.
San Fran with Kaep and Smith.
If thats who he meant it would explain not disclosing the team.
Smith was injured. Kaep played 2-3 games before Smith could come back from a concussion.
I think everyone here agrees that if Mayfield was injured and Trask took over a played really well it would be his job too.
JC with the usual troll job?
Guess what. Mayfield is injured.
Come on man. Silly
Smith was literally knocked out in a game and Kaep took over in the game. He was concussed and it took him a couple games to be ready to play
When you look at teh guys that are outperforming and how slow the staff has been to replace those former starters whats to say you won't see the same thing with trask when the same guys who performed in preaseason are doing just as well as they were in the preseason ie stinnie, watts, diaby, trask
Film dont lie but emotions do
fair point. The coaches might be completely wrong but that past stubbornness is another reason it seems unlikely they would change QB while the playoffs are in reach (barely)
Blayton pls calm down. Your going from thread to thread engaging is this back and forth with DH and Biggs dumpster firing every thread. I dont know any of you, but your the one that seems to be frothing more than the other two, that means that are living in your head rent free. Stop turning every thread into a pissing match, the 3 of you, jeez.
If I were the owner, I would have said no to signing Baker as anything but a backup in the beginning and told them to start our 2nd round pick this year and see what we have.
100%
trask looked scared in that first play when he tired to hit mike, was looking all the time in his direction
I'd put him in next week to test him, game outcome doesn't matter anymore
if they lose this coming game, I say it's Trask time - they have to know what they have this the guy. Time to put up or shut up. But is really doesn't matter. House clearning in January HC, assistants, QB, probably a few big name free agent losses.
Really disappointing that Mayfield is starting vs Carolina. This was set up perfectly for Trask to start.

yeah just like Alex smith to Kaep!!
“Coach speak”
”Love that Kyle just went in, was just calm. He was cool,” Canales said. “He had a great look in his eye, and I felt like if Baker can’t go, I love how [Kyle] looks right now going forward with the rest of the game plan.”

Fire Bowles and name Canales the HC. I have a feeling he would bench Mayfield.

I am sure the guys with all the “football acumen” will be along any moment to tell you this is just coach speak
oh wait … they both say start Trask now
Never mind
:-)
I think we all know that Baker is Todd's man on offense, kind of like White on defense. Neither can do enough wrong to ride the pine. So we'll probably beat the lowly Panthers, though that's clearly not a given, then lose to the Falcons, Jags, and Packers. Maybe beat the Saints and Panthers again, finishing with 10 loses, no playoffs, a worse draft position, and not clue if Kyle can be the QB we need going forward, or if we have to draft the next guy. Again, the owners should get involved and tell them enough is enough and think about the future. This team ain't going anywhere in the playoffs, and there's no reason for fans to come to the remaining games.
If they lose to the Panthers, fire the HC and move on from Baker to see how much eval we can have in the final 5 games.
Baker in the top 10 on betting odds for come back player of the year (and that includes the sympathy Hamlin shoe in joke winner) and some of you want him benched….LOL

Top 10 out of....?
You act as if he's top 10 out the 1,700+ players in the NFL. He's not. Zach Wilson is top 20 in the odds. We don't have to give Baker Mayfield $25M next season when we can give Zach Wilson $20M.
And what is he coming back from? Sucking? Damn near all of the other guys had injuries they are coming back from, which is what the award is supposed to be about.

Such devotion
play Trask or just end the season!
