Not just a good QB but a great QB. Browns have bright future only if they can rid themselves of Hue Jackson.

I see Hue as a possible roadblock, but hopefully the  players respond and Hue doesn't Hue. With Baker's accuracy,  if they get the OL to be really good it would be scary IMO. The D is already good, ,most  of the pieces are in place.

Sorry but a 1/2 of football against the Jets doesn't make him great! Is there something promising to look forward to as a Browns fan, absolutely. However let's not crown him "like that" to early.

The Jets have a good D, so it wasn't a bad test anyways. I agree though, maybe wait a few years, a few more 4th quarter wins, tough road wins, playoff wins etc before bringing the word great into the descriptions.   I just hope he gets afar chance, and that his OL is good enough to keep him healthy and he doesn't end up under the knife to the point where he loses his arm like it appear Luck has. During the Jets game he had decent protection but also has pocket awareness which is important.  

The best friend for a QB  is also related to the OL, a good running game .  It also helps having a good D which the Browns have too.

21-3 against a team that was dominating you. He didn't just stop the ugly he introduced the pretty.

Of course he isn't great, he hasn't even thrown a TD yet. He does have a great arm, probably top 5 in the NFL with his accuracy/zip combination if what he displayed in that half is who he is. He has to prove the accuracy still, even though that has always been his strong point but there is no denying that it is probably top 5 arm among starters with how he zips the intermediate passes in there already. We haven't seen his deep ball in the NFL yet so that remains to be seen. He certainly has everything you would look for in a great QB besides ideal height, still has to go out there and do it.
