I don't think you really missed anything. What I saw last year is that if Baker is healthy, he combined with Stefanski can take us to the playoffs. Once you make the playoffs anything can happen. I don't think you simply scrap that based on an injury plagued season.
Where I do see a disconnect, at least for me, is that when and if our FO and coaching staff agree that Baker can not lead us to where they want to be, who you see or don't see as an upgrade is of little consequence. If that's the way they start seeing Baker, refusing to take a stab at improvement rather than perpetuate continuing in mediocrity doesn't appear to be a logical option in my POV.
I don't think most all of us want to see a compete reboot at QB when we made the playoffs just last year with the QB we have. For me that would show a total lack of patience by this FO.
