I don't really understand the Baker thing. A lot of people make fun of the guy, but he is still playing in the NFL and still starting. I would think that somebody like him would generate more than a simple trade for a fifth or 6th rounder.
Clearly, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers were imbeciles for giving Baker Mayfield $100 million when clearly has shown by your tremendous logic. Sam Darnold should have gotten that money instead of having to play his way into a possible 10 million.
Obviously, if the Buccaneers and Vikings had access to this irrefutable evidence, neither would’ve made such egregious moves
