Not ideal for him like SF, but the Rams are a pretty good landing spot:

- he will definitely get an opportunity this year on a team that still has talent. Mostly defensive talent, but still. 
- good offensive minds who may be able to figure out how to maximize his talents and hide his shortcomings

- it is by no means certain that Stafford will make it all the way back. He could be Peyton Manning in his final year next season. So Baker has a continuing chance if he stays there. 

Problem is the Rams WR are pretty bad without Kupp granted Baker never was great with WRs in Cleveland.

must like Lights by Journey

 

written about LA initially but modified for SF

Really? I thought Journey are a Bay Area band.

Remember those Gatorade Be Like Mike ads with people dreaming of being like Michael Jordan?  Well Baker has chosen 17 as his number with the Rams.  Mayfield must be thinking: "Like Josh, If I could be like Josh"

Their o-line is also terrible and Baker has no chance without a decent o-line.

Perry wrote it before Journey living in LA.  When he joined them, the lyrics were modified given it was a Bay Area band  This story has come out in many interviews.

So did they give him Odell’s locker they had been keeping open?

They did, but he ended up going to a locker two over. Just couldn’t find OBJ.

At least he'll get to live in SoFi.

But it's like a time share.  When the Chargers are home, Mayfield's in a refrigerator box under the 405 overpass.
