Agreed that we run through CMC. That's still a major concern. Looking good at this point, but it was also looking good at this point last year. O-line is hopefully better but still an unknown. I actually think it is the biggest key. It was pathetic watching any and all QBs try to do anything last year. I doubt we could've even gotten many of the checkdowns if CMC had been there with as fast as the pocket collapsed. I don't think CMC/QB/McAdoo matter in the slightest if the O-line isn't improved.
I'm basing the 'Baker won soundly' assumption on following the twitter posts of each play/pass/etc. I agree that the preseason showing was close. I still give the edge to Baker, but it's the practice sessions that stood out to me. Each day it seemed that Baker had done a bit more good/less bad than Darnold. But you know i'm with you on the wait-&-see attitude.
