There seems to be a massive gulf between reality and Robby's perception of his own value to an NFL team.

Given his cap hit, Robby Anderson is a net negative. 

I get it, there's a long history of NFL WRs being divas, but most of those divas are HOF candidate caliber. Robby is on his way to becoming Freddie Mitchell. I'm just waiting for him to thank his hands for being so great. 😂

"Thank them?"  He's probably insured them.

In case of injury suffered from patting himself on the back.

Robby needs to stop concerning himself with personnel moves and focus on not sucking this year.

Working in the “higher end” hospitality industry you end up crossing paths with a lot of NFL guys/celebrities. I cannot overstate how disliked Baker is universally by every one …and I mean every one I know when he stays with one of the hotels I work with. It’s well known he doesn’t tip, is incredibly rude and looks down on any one who isn’t a millionaire/any one who can’t help him better his life somehow. If he was Aaron’s Rodgers talent cool be Rodgers jerk like. But he’s closer to Sam Darnold in talent. Robby absolutely needs to work on his craft he was awful last year but he’s doing us a favor speaking out and vocalizing what so many who have had encounters with Baker. Not a single teammate came to his defense. Not one…Baker is a locker room cancer and Robby is right in not wanting him here.

Honestly, this makes a lot of sense. Baker has flashed enough ability in the NFL that I wouldn't have wanted to completely mortgage my franchise on a massive trade for Deshaun Watson unless something like this was stone cold fact. The reality that no other team seems to be so much as even entertaining trading anything for him practically confirms it.

      Solid point about the rookie contract especially since I believe Tepper and company brought that up, he was so good we could sign other players while he is on a rookie deal and capitalize on the cap space. Sorta like Seattle did with Russ while he was on a rookie deal. But, problem is Bryce isn’t close to that version of Russ and Tepper sucks as an owner.

      Two Athletic articles about QBs

      By electro's horse · Posted

      Look at who they’re interviewing there.  parcels, aikman, Peyton etc. the youngest guy is KOC who’s forty.  The passing game 25, 35, 45 years ago looked less glamorous to be sure but it was far more complex. You didn’t have these packages where you’d make quick checks, every play was its own thing, basically everyone was playing under center etc. once the nfl got out of the dead ball era things became very complex very quickly and they hadnt figured out a way to truncate it. Plus it was nowhere in college or high school. Vertical passing attacks just didn’t exist.  So yeah parcells probably does have that view because that’s what he came up in. Aikman had to learn that when he got to the nfl. Aikman was so lost his rookie season the cowboys almost took Jeff George first overall in 1990.  Today the learning curve is a lot lower. pro concepts today borrow a great deal from the college game now. Tons of air raid stuff, RPO, pistol, etc. even though everything is faster at every position, it’s schematically more simple. The learning curve is nowhere near what it was for even Peyton manning when he came out.  plus, prospects today are basically pro qbs from the time they’re in middle school. Bryce Young for example lived in invite only qb camps since he reached his max height at 12 years old. The whole “they shouldn’t get paid because they get a degree for free” was always just an insincere argument from racist old people, but no one even pretends to make it anymore. Playing qb at a division 1 school is a full time job for years before you even get to campus.  And that is all they do. The days of people excelling in multiple sports to the point there’s pro interest and then just choosing one or the other and succeeding are over. Aikman was drafted by the Mets out of high school and decided to go start as a freshman at Oklahoma.  The exact opposite is happening now, to the point you’ve got guys going to play baseball for a few years, coming back to college football, and playing until they’re like 27.  that’s actually one of the theories about why darnold isn’t better than everyone feels he should be. He only played two years of college football. In highschool he was first team all everything in every sport. Dude has an insane athletic pedigree. But there’s at least four years of highschool invite camps he never got to go to. You can’t just be the most athletic guy in the room anymore.  So obviously the older guys are complaining about how things are done; it’s what offer guys do. But the pro game today is much more accessible for these guys than it was back in their day, and the players are more ready for the transition. Like is anyone defending Anthony Richardson? What im saying is we know what Bryce young is and we should t wait for waiting’s sake.
