candyman93 Posted April 30, 2022 Share Posted April 30, 2022 Browns made a lot of moves to clear up cap space. I also don’t think it’s a coincidence we traded down to save money as well. The only guy we need to sign still is Clowney. So Baker will be on our roster. If we get a comp pick, that’d be nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CriminalMind Posted May 1, 2022 Share Posted May 1, 2022 Baker’s contract and the timing when he actually became available (after teams already committed to other QBs), he really the reason he is still with Cleveland. He’ll be a starter again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not that I've ever watched or will watch that show but this has Soap Opera must watch TV written all over it. Lions already got it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wish I could say I was, but nobody is in a rush to get Baker. But someone who’s QB drops will be happy to have him.

Crazy his value is this low given his talent level. He’s about 50x better than Sam Darnold and somehow he got way more value than Baker. Cleveland holding onto him and then acquiring Watson destroyed most of the leverage that they had in regards to trading him. Because most teams know that the Browns will likely have to move on eventually and a lot of the potential suitors acquired other QBs already. The Darnold situation was unique because I think his value was boosted by the fact that Tannehill was able to turn it around after getting away from Gase. Baker being on a 1 year deal also throws a wrench in things too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SHONUFF Posted May 17, 2022 Share Posted May 17, 2022 He was partially devalued by the Cleveland trade for Watson and their talk about wanting an adult in the QB room. His appearances on podcasts and other media also rubbed teams the wrong way I think as well. Possibly a part of it is teams not wanting to help Cleveland after fully guaranteeing Watsons contract. That's a smaller reason, but I think it has some legs. If a team felt strongly about him they would have offered something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darnold's situation was also more unique in that he was traded a year earlier and had up to 2 years left on his deal, assuming they'd pick up his fifth year option (which they did). Plus, I think it's realistic to say that teams absolutely knew this year's crop of QB's in the draft was extremely subpar on paper, whereas next year legitimately could have 3-5 "franchise prospect" types, making it more appealing to roll the dice on some young dude who either booms and you get a steal in, or even if he busts you have a lottery ticket to one of those superstar prospects. Half of these teams have already started fire-sales prepping for a rebuild based off of that as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, mid 60's completion percentage with 16 TD and 10 INT warrants a second look no doubt, but I wouldn't say that he really "flashed" until the last 3-4 games, albeit 3 of the last 4 games he viably looked solid to good.

Mills performance last year was impressive considering the circumstances. He was a top recruit out of HS, couldn't stay healthy at Stanford so he only played 13 games there in 4 seasons, and had some pretty impressive moments for a rookie QB on one of the least talented teams in the NFL. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
