Still better than 2/3's of the QBs in the league.
The question really isn't "Can he go toe-to-toe against Mahomes in the playoffs and win?" because that question has only been answered by one current QB with an all-time great WR corps to help him out. The question is, "Is he good enough to beat any QB in the top-10 not named Pat Mahomes in the playoffs?" I think he is. Get the Bucs a good SWR, LG, RB, NB, SS and LB and they are going to be pretty good again. That's not an impossible laundry list. |

Why didn't the Browns simply keep Baker (and the picks)? Is Watson (with his price tag) really a better option?!?

Watson is a fraud. And a serial sexual assaulter. I know life-long Browns fans that walked away on that one. Stupid, stupid franchise. |

Baker was being a bit of a douche off the field in 2021, that much is true. And then his play after getting injured didn't help. However, Baker never gave up on the team or his teammates, and he never got any credit from the team for gutting it out with all the injuries. But yeah, CLE might be the worst run franchise in my lifetime. And I know several CLE fans that were so disgusted by Watson that they quit being Browns fans even before that season started. |

The thing about Baker is that he will absolutely implode at the worst possible time. The talent at OU covered up a lot of deficiencies in Baker's game.
The guy was a tool in high school, a tool in college and showing that same tendency in the NFL. His gung ho attitude will piss his teammates off by year 2 of the contract and the implosion will begin. |

What crazy is that 30M a season is now considered getting a deal.
I don't blame Baker or the Team for this deal, I think it makes sense for both. I think a lot of fans say, "I'd pay him 20M but not 30." But why would Baker do that, when, as pointed out earlier, he's outplayed some of those 40M guys. The market is what the market is. We are lucky to have found Mahomes when we did. Because this is nuts. Can you imagine paying Alex 30 a year back in the day? |
