candyman93 Posted July 7, 2022 Share Posted July 7, 2022 I also don’t like stuff that “leaked” about Baker on his way out. Now, there’s a strong chance a lot of it was made up for clicks. I hope that was the case. There’s the option of: 1. You don’t have to bash Baker the person. He genuinely tried and competed. I don’t believe the crap about the team not liking him personally. Is there a chance guys were frustrated by his play? I can absolutely buy that. 2. You don’t have to like his skill set and potential. He is very limited and I will argue this all day with people. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rod Johnson Posted July 7, 2022 Share Posted July 7, 2022 I know whatever I have to say positive about Baker I will regret saying because he is gonna make me hate him before it's all said and done. In a way I respect that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I looked at those abusive alcoholic Browns fans of my dad's generation with respect and dignity. The new age ones seem fratty and bandwagoners.

BrownsDog23 Posted July 8, 2022 Share Posted July 8, 2022 As far as the good I’ll always remember the Thursday night game against the jets and win against the Steelers The bad, his stans. People on this board and people on Twitter who constantly made excuses for his mediocrity drove me crazy. The play calling, WRs, defense etc… it was always someone else’s fault why he came up short 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can’t have great players at literally every position. There’s a thing called a salary cap. There’s not enough voodoo in the world to have pro bowlers at every single position. If you somehow manage to have good to great starters everywhere, your depth is probably trash. It’s like with Aaron Rodgers. When he had great weapons around him at WR and TE it was “well their defense sucks and they have no run game.” Now he has a great run game and great defense, but now it’s “he has no WRs.” Edited July 8, 2022 by candyman93 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's a guy that at the same time seems capable of QBing an elite offense if everything is humming, but also is one of the worst QBs in league of it's not. He's a ceiling raiser but not a floor raiser I guess. I think that made it easier to make excuses for him when the offense is bad. Truth is a good QB isn't going to play you out of games as often as Baker did. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrownLeader Posted July 9, 2022 Share Posted July 9, 2022 The highest to me was the 21' opening game vs KC. He was carrying that late 2020 surge into the new season and we looked like legit championship contenders for most of the game ...until that game ending int. The lowest was that shovel pass int directly into the DL's hands. More than any other bad play it drove home how much Baker just predetermines and runs the play without actually seeing what's going on. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sdrawkcab321 Posted July 9, 2022 Share Posted July 9, 2022 Just another short qb who couldn’t see over the line. And how he made Landry and Odell look like practice squad WRs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
