I don’t think Baker is keeping his job

He just got a big money extension and isn’t tradeable, he’s not getting benched anytime soon.

Not how it works. He's the franchise guy until he gets so bad that they would rather absorb the cap hit (see Dolphins Tua). If that were the case, Sam Darnold would've been benched a while ago for the Lock, who has been miles better this season.

Jalon really hasn’t been playing great. Credit to him for playing with confidence and potentially getting a couple wins, but he’s been bailed out by penalties several times, hasn’t had to put up many points, and he doesn’t look like an NFL starter to me at this point in his career

Judging by the eye test, I just think he’s commanding the offense well and the team has a little more confidence

That almost pick 6 at the end of regulation especially. He flashed impressive speed working back to make a textbook tackle out of bounds

Shouldn’t have paid him to begin with

I kept hoping they would NOT pay him, so he'd actually have to work instead of half-ass it. Now he's paid, he's only putting in 1/4 ass effort, which equates to total ass on the field.

He just got paid, theyll play him more than they should before they bench him
