darkside5 Posted December 6, 2022 Report Share Posted December 6, 2022 If we are being totally honest, Baker played for the absolute worst organization in football and was more successful here than anyone else had been. I hold no animosity toward him whatsoever. While we're being honest, if yesterday is any indication of what we have to look forward to, we're in deep shit. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With that team, he wouldn't be asked to be great. He could possibly try and emulate what Jacoby did here for 11 games. They could actually use Jacoby. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dutch Oven Posted December 6, 2022 Report Share Posted December 6, 2022 By the way, if you haven't been paying attention, the other Heisman winning QB from Oklahoma in the NFL right now is absolutely lighting shit up... Jalen Hurts has thrown for 2940 yards, at a 68.1% completion clip, 20 touchdown passes vs 3 interceptions AND has rushed for 609 yards and 9 more touchdowns.

I think with Jimmy G out for the season, it would be the logical place for him to land. Since we’re talking former Browns players, where do you think Odell Beckham will go?

That's a good question, because I'm not sure who will take a guy who will not work out for a team before signing with them. He's been linked with the Giants, Bills and Cowboys.

Unsympathetic Posted December 6, 2022 Report Share Posted December 6, 2022 What wasn't mentioned was that Baker's car was parked across 3 spaces with paint on the bumper from the tricycles he sideswiped on the way to the stadium. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gumby73 Posted December 6, 2022 Report Share Posted December 6, 2022 I still go back to a game that Baker got roasted at San Fran.. back then, 49'ers DC Robert Saleh showed many teams via that game-film what to do vs. Baker Mayfield On 12/5/2022 at 7:38 PM, Dutch Oven said: By the way, if you haven't been paying attention, the other Heisman winning QB from Oklahoma in the NFL right now is absolutely lighting shit up...

hoorta Posted December 6, 2022 Report Share Posted December 6, 2022 Yup, Baker went from "The Toast of the Town" to just plain "Toast"... I agree, he's Niners bound, they're in dire straits for a QB... Should he flop there, the Baker Boosters Club will have run out of excuses for the guy. I did say we'll soon enough see if Mayfield just needed a fresh start, or as some around here opined, as our one hit wonder Derek Anderson- NFL defensive coordinators figured Baker out. And sure seems like Stefanski and Berry were 100% correct in their appraisal that Baker was flat out never going to be good enough to get the Browns to the Super Bowl Promised Land. Take a bow Tia, sure looks like you were right. That said, it brings me no joy to see yet another of our first round QB picks flame out early.

True, but the expectations in Carolina were he was going to step right in and be "the answer" at quarterback. Excuse me, but 5th season Baker wasn't supposed to be a "developmental project", come right on down, and start winning games for us.. He got his shot.. All things being equal, he couldn't beat out the proven suckitude that is Sam Darnold. Do you remember what I opined way back? That Baker's ceiling was probably Andy Dalton's..... Can be effective if the cast surrounding him is 100% perfect. It may well turn out that may even be too optimistic for poor Mr. Mayfield.

I share the opinion of him delivering inferior performance , and also that he is a weird motherfucker. However, he loved the Browns and his heart was 100% with the team. So the hate is because he busted? No, it's because he is weird? How we so quickly forget. He had done what has never been done before. The guy beat Pittsburgh. In their house. In the playoffs. After that game we wanted to build a statue of him.

The Browns defense and special teams outscored the offense. A Bengals fan told me the way Deshaun was skipping passes off the turf, he should try out for the Cavaliers. But regarding Baker never having lousy games IIRC, he had a few with a sub 10 qbr. I'm not going to waste time checking Pro Football Reference to verify that.

Again, to me the salient points around him are: 1) He has indeed played at a high level in the NFL 2) His behavior is weird and I think detracts from his and his team's performance. 3) He failed in Cleveland, but did nothing to garner hate from Browns fans. He loved Cleveland. In this day and age, that is rare. The Browns were right to get rid of him. That does not mean however that he is done. Under the right conditions he could change his fortunes. I don't understand the venom for this guy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
