Would it be better to activate Mullens and put Baker on IR, or just keep Baker on the active roster, hoping he will be ready soon and will not be needed before he's ready?

Mayfield should be the back up in this one. If it gets so bad that Keenum is knocked out of the game you put Mayfield in and lock in to a running game to protect Mayfield's mortal remains. I don't see the burning need to wreck Mayfield to try to salvage what is going to be a good, but not great season. It's not like he'd be in top form anyway.
