Still talks trash about Sam and Austin Westlake. Dude needs to grow up. You're a professional now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ETXfan16 Posted October 8, 2019 Share Posted October 8, 2019 Heard this today. Baker is a C+ quarterback with A+ publicity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveTV1 Posted October 8, 2019 Share Posted October 8, 2019 I think he's a bust like many other Browns quarterbacks starting with Tim Couch. He should be having a breakout season with the weapons he has, but I suppose the Browns have been cursed by Art Modell. They've made the playoffs one time in the past 20 years back in 2002. Many had them as a Super Bowl contender this year, but I see them as a 6-10 team. I wonder how much longer it will be until OBJ starts throwing fits. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree with this in the sense that Baker is getting waaaaaaay overexposed... BUT if you've got companies willing to pay you big time dolla dolla bills to hawk their stupid products, would YOU turn them down? The lifespan of pro athletes is pretty dang short, I don't blame any of them for grabbing any endorsements they can. It's all part of the game.

What's funny is Johnny Manziel still has endorsement deals which is hard to believe. I was listening to an A&M game on my way home, and low and behold here's Johnny being a spokesman for some business in College Station. I know that's not a major level as Mayfield gets, but he's still making money off his name and career in College Station. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Champ1000 Posted November 5, 2019 Share Posted November 5, 2019 Extremely overrated. The Decision process is not what you as a quarterback. He has talent but proven nothing. Leads the league with Int along with Winston. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lol Lol, yeah, he's "eccentric" to say the least, and he certainly has a lot of growing up to do. Also likes to shoot his mouth off, which is fine... as long as you get it done on the field. His play has been inconsistent, to be sure. But to act as though he's a already "bust" in Year 2 of his career seems a bit... premature, especially considering the perpetual dumpster fire that is the Cleveland franchise. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hawks2021 Posted November 5, 2019 Share Posted November 5, 2019 With a better OL - Baker will be a very good QB. He has the moxie and competitiveness and seems like a hard worker. With all of those things, the immaturity will improve over time. There are many QB's who come into the league with talent that lack work ethic - that worries me. Baker seems like a hard worker - so he gets the benefit of the doubt for a while. I'll be interested to see who the coach is next year and what kind of OL they put around him. That will make all the difference... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The playcalling has been abysmal, especially compared to the latter part of last year. Not making excuses because, yeah, Baker has made plenty of mistakes, but the playcalling has been especially terrible this season, even for Cleveland.

Baker has one of the...if not THE worst O-line in the NFL (so nobody to defend him...running for his life, throwing off his back leg, trying to make a play when there's nothing there, getting hit or stripped constantly) --> starting about week 4, Dak was missing 1 to 2 O-linemen from the best line in the league and he got beat by the Jets (have gotten beaten by the Dolphins, who are actively trying to throw games) and 2 other teams and looked gosh awful (throwing off his back leg, trying to make a play when there's nothing there, looking pedestrian & lost, getting hit or picked constantly) = the same actually or worse...wouldn't mind seeing Baker with this line in front of him and a non-idiot running things. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think he's a bust by any means. However, I do think that he's not a superstar quarterback and probably won't be in the NFL. He's a good quarterback, but I personally don't think he's somebody that will bring you championships. Just my opinion. Time will tell! The issue I have with Baker is what you stated in your first paragraph. He mouths off too much but hasn't backed it up. I can't remember the last time I've seen a team hyped up this much in the offseason than the Browns this year. Now that's not all on Baker, but he sure didn't help their cause. Bottom line, its the Browns. Nobody can save the brown no matter how many superstars you get. That whole organization is trash. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, if I was to put money down on how his career is gonna end up, I would make a comparison to someone like Trent Dilfer: came into the league with a lotta fanfare, but eventually fell from grace, only to finish strong by being a small cog in a stronger franchise. Baker will play out his contract with the Browns (and have more downs then ups), resulting in the brass cutting him loose to sign another college hotshot. Then he'll sign with a stronger franchise and salvage his career. I really think he's got enough of "the goods" to be a successful NFL quarterback, but needs far more support than Cleveland can provide. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's why I was shocked OBJ went there. If I had to compare Baker to another QB in the league right now, I would go with Derek Carr. But it's just hard to tell how good Baker can be at this level (consistently) when he plays for the Cleveland Browns. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
