He isn't playing better than he did in college. This is him. He's doing what he's always done. Baker was my #1 too and the fact that he threw 60 mph at the combine gave me faith that the arm he displayed in college was legit. Still, until you see them in an NFL uniform there is always a bit of a scare no matter the QB. He didn't set the world on fire in the preseason but he showed that zip and accuracy which will allow him to be great and then I was pretty sure he would be average at worst. He plays even better with the ones, even if the drops are occurring like they aren't ones, his balls are almost always on time and on the money. If he never gets better we hit a homerun. I think he will get better at certain aspects, but he really can't do a whole lot more than he has done. I think tempo will be a little quicker eventually and he may be in the running for MVP. Leadership abilities have also made the journey with him from college and the desire is strong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same internet model said he deleted her from twitter because he sent her a pic (maybe video) and she declined to date him, or something like that.

Nah, I couldn't even find the story but I think her complaint was that he blocked her from twitter. Seemed like it was a TMZ type page but was like TMQ or something.

I'm sure it was tasteful. I mean, I know he wants to be Brett Favre and all, but doesn't he know that sending pics of his junk was not exactly Favre's proudest moment?

candyman93 Posted October 8, 2018 Share Posted October 8, 2018 We have a rookie who finally has a decent supporting cast around him. The Oakland game was just an outlier, but our defense has been very good. Baker doesn’t have to score a ton of points to keep up. He has to do just enough. Our run game also protects him.

Mind Character Posted October 8, 2018 Share Posted October 8, 2018 12 hours ago, MistaBohmbastic said: I look at the names you mention, and I see something entirely different between Baker and these guys. I don't wanna dive too deep into this debate, because I know I have no hope of convincing you, but I do see your point. You're not wrong in regards to tempering expectations. But I firmly believe he'll steadily progress upwards, undoubtedly facing some bumps in the road, but able to overcome them. I agree with you and also see something different in Baker than those QBs in that category, and I hope he's more in line with the QBs in that 3rd category, but indeed because of historical context I'm going to just stay in the present moment, enjoy the ride, and let it play out over time...
