ReggieCamp Posted April 27, 2022 Author Share Posted April 27, 2022 My Browns-slanted view of this draft. If a handful of QB's go before our pick at #44, then we'll have that many more good players to choose from. Win. If teams shy away from drafting QB's before pick #44, then more than likely, one of the QB-needy teams will trade for Baker. Win. Our current biggest weaknesses are WR, D-line, and LB. This draft is nice in all those areas. Win. This just in: Andrew Berry might just know what he's doing. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There’s no way his ego will let himself come to camp in Cleveland with his tail tucked between his legs as the obvious back up, waiting to be traded. I don’t even think the organization wants him there. They need to find a way to get rid of him. But there are no suitors right now. What a crazy off-season. He doesn’t need to show up to camp to get traded. Just keep him inactive until some team with an injured qb comes calling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he opted to show up, and he shouldn't, it could create feelings amongst teammates that is unnecessary. I'm sure there are some in the locker room that was hoping he would return and why revisit the whole thing and possibly cause any division that isn't currently there. He isn't supposed to be fully recovered for another 1-3 months so let him do his thing while he recovers and revisit it afterwards if he is still on the roster.

Kiwibrown Posted April 28, 2022 Share Posted April 28, 2022 Rewatching some games from 2020. The baltimore thriller in Cleveland. Baker is brilliant, when he sees the throw and he is in rhythm, its beautiful, he throws dots. At times couldnt place the ball better. Other times he misses easy throws, there were a couple of throws with a little pressure and he rockets the ball. The problem is the reciever is 10 yards away. One ball to Jano could easily have been floated to him, it was an awkward angel for the catch even on a soft throw. Instead he got fire on the ball. He also ran the ball too much, a ton of 1 yard or 2 yard runs. If he has a lane it's good no problem, if he has to run wide its usually terrible. Also throws a Deshone Kizer like int to a linebacker. Dude was literally right there. Across the board too many small mistakes and too many big mistakes in between his brilliant throws. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiwibrown Posted April 28, 2022 Share Posted April 28, 2022 Shefty reported the Giants maybe interested in Baker. Trade there 67th in the 3rd for the browns 99th, basically gain a round and they pay 4 million of his salary Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NateDawg Posted May 2, 2022 Share Posted May 2, 2022 I think another thing to consider though is that for a team that has a quarterback going down, unless they are a contender, they could see it as an opportunity to have a bad year and get an elite quarterback next draft class. If the alternative is trading a second or third round pick so that you can be a .500 team, I think some owners are going to have a certain opinion. So, if we are hoping that a team has a quarterback go down, it probably needs to be a decent team that still wants to contend and hasn’t accepted a season missing the playoffs from the jump. Personally, if I am in a team in a limbo year and I have a chance to get CJ Stroud or continue treading water, I’d love to have that easy transition to a franchise quarterback. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think a 2 or 3 is entirely out of the question tbh, unless we’re paying most of his salary. Even then, I’d be surprised. I think if a team thought very highly of Baker, they’d have made a deal by now. Baker may be viewed as that unfortunate combo of too good to let you tank for a high pick and not good enough to take a team to the next level. There’s obviously a role for that guy in the league, but I’m not sure how many people are lining up to give up an asset and pay 18 million for him. I hope I’m wrong though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The elephant in the dining room is that he will not sign a franchise tag probably unless you are Tampa Bay or New Orleans. This effectively eliminates the 2 teams that would be at the top of the list Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MWil23 Posted May 2, 2022 Share Posted May 2, 2022 Baker has the most wins in Cleveland Browns Stadium and has our only playoff win since 1994 fire him. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bucketheadsdad Posted May 6, 2022 Share Posted May 6, 2022 I'm so glad that O.J. didn't recommend that we simply cut Baker. That would have been a little awkward. Although Andrew Berry's 2023 book, "If I Cut Him" would be a page turner. #Browns #NFL 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
