They have drafted OL with Austin Corbett, but clearly the Kevin Zeiter trade was a huge deal no one talked about.

Believe it or not, I said that was a terrible move in the offseason. Trading a high quality guard for a decent OLB doesn't make sense in today's nfl.

Also, it's a not a great sign when they let their starting LT hit FA right before the season, regardless of all they said about him being a lock to come back.

That's one thing that does drive me crazy about Baker. He's not amazing running with the ball, but he can run when needed. But he simply hasn't done that at all this season.

The drifting is hurting him a lot too. Pocket presence was an asset of his in college.

And it was last year too. Not sure what his problem is. I think the OL has given him some form of shell shock.

You can get the football hit out of you, we see it from guys every year. You get hit enough and psychologically you adapt and things move faster than they should. you aren't conscious of it but the subtle things turn into habit and habit is hard to break when you basically just have to rely on muscle memory when the pocket breaks. A lot of guys can't overcome it if they're stuck on a team with a bad OL for too long, guys like Luck who overcome are the exemption.
