dawgdish Posted October 12, 2020 Share Posted October 12, 2020 Baker can be the QB we need him to be in Stefanski's offense. Those bad drops in the second half didn't help him out, and we still won the game against a top tier defense. What more do people want? Give him 2 consecutive years in a real offensive system and real coaching and I bet he's going to be better than anything we've seen from him thus far. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's accept Mayfield's take ("...worst game I have played of the five."), which is what I saw/heard. Not sure what filter(s)/lens @DawgX and the other defenders/apologists were listening/watching through, or whether they even listened to/watched the same game.

BrownLeader Posted October 13, 2020 Share Posted October 13, 2020 These takes. Baker isn't playing any different. He still doesn't process quickly and predetermines throws. It's obvious the more he throws the worse he's going to look. Good part is this staff knows it and Stefanski's limited his impact. Tbh I really thought coach was playing with fire allowing him to throw so much in this one but with the Colts keying so much on the run, Hunt still not 100 coming back from the groin, and Teller out early...made it more necessary. Also some spectacular and, let's be honest, lucky, contested grabs really helped him out too. Stefanski and staff are succeeding despite Baker. Not advocating for an injury, but if that rib issue is also a shoulder issue or keeps him from throwing well, we might get a full blown QB controversy because Keenum's probably a better manager for this offense.

captin midnight Posted October 13, 2020 Share Posted October 13, 2020 Since when did the Cleveland Browns organization becomes experts at scouting Quarterbacks? If history shows, we haven't been the most successful at evaluating talent. Let's be thankful we have a QB that is serviceable and winning games. We haven't needed him to put the team on his back this season. I'm sure it's coming where we will need a clutch drive and play by Baker, but give him time to grow within the offense. Franchise QB's don't necessarily grows on trees for us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

candyman93 Posted October 13, 2020 Share Posted October 13, 2020 Although, I must point out that Baker is on pace for 3500+, 30+ TDs and less than 15 INTs. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why pay him now when he's under team control through 2022, possibly longer if we want to use our Franchise Tag on him. Let's see what he does over the next 2 seasons. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure why people are worried about how much he'll be paid when we have at least another two years to see how much of a contract he's worth. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kiwibrown Posted October 13, 2020 Author Share Posted October 13, 2020 Considering Baker is the best browns qb since forever it's a wonder why so many people want to move off him so quickly. He gets another year at least. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
