I mean, I don't think it matters.  It's not like players don't talk poo on the field every single Sunday, of every week, of every season. 

Thank you!  Every play you see players yelling at each other.  It's just part of the game.  These guys are so sensitive that it's going to set them off to hear Baker wants to crush them when he plays them.  They already know this...

This x1000. Baker wasn't going out of his way to give the Browns bulletin board material.

Cynthia knew what she was doing when she decided to share an essentially off the record conversation with a "friend".

If there's any defense of her, I guess it's that she didn't directly initiate the conversation in the podcast. Dan Hanzus asked her to share it.

But share it she did, and Hanzus must have already known about it when he asked so clearly she'd told him before.

She clearly regrets that now.

To be fair, this is the Browns we're talking about.

Ownership wanted Watson so bad they suspended all rational and intelligent thought.

Nah dude, I have to respectfully disagree with you on that one.  If Baker had all this promise and leadership as being painted on here there's no way anyone would've made that trade.  

They paid half his salary to gtfo. The Panthers were only willing to go a quarter of it he had to eat the rest to come here.

Look around the league right now and tell my why we were the only team interested.  You can't use cap as an excuse either.

Fair to point out that most of the league had chosen their quarterback already, either via returning veterans or in the draft.

Only two teams were heavily speculated to need this trade, us and the Seahawks. Seattle chose to choose between Geno Smith and Drew Lock. For whatever you think of Baker, that's an insane decision.

Will it work out? Don't know. I do at least like what I've seen so far though.

He should have known better to say anything like that around a reporter.  Now he better back it up or he's going to look mighty foolish. All bark and no bite.

All I can say is he better back it up.

Like is said, if he doesn't back it up the locker room will not buy into his bravado because it is all bark and no bite. Talking sh!t loses its meaning if it is not backed up by action.

No issue if he backs up his talk. Especially since he says "he's" going to be the one to fug them up. Kinda puts himself out there to deliver a monumental performance all by himself don't you think?

I'm not against a player having fire in him. If he can ball he can talk shyte all he wants.

Baker is just a shyte talker who so far has not lived up to his trash talk. That is just an annoying bullshit artist who shoots his mouth off and can't back it up.

So...........................I'm guessing you think there is a chance that he can't back it up?  I'm not positive though, just wanted you to clarify. 

Thanks

I feel like Seattle has chosen to tank for Stroud.

Doesn't make sense to me given Carroll's age.

Is the plan to be competitive again sometime before he hits 100? 😕

Yeah... They did keep Lockett and Metcalf plus Cross looks to be a good LT.  If a young QB can catch on quickly they can get competitive pretty quick in a year or two.  All that cap money saved on a rookie QB can build a nice team as well.

Seattle is obviously looking to start over at QB in 2023. A move that I wanted us to make, but I’m starting to get on board with Baker

So you're a Baker hater who can't think reasonably because you don't like him.  He's a playoff winning QB who was ascending and in the top 10 in QBR when he got hurt.  You just aren't educated on this and you're saying ignorant things.  NO ONE was going to help the Browns out.  No one.

Here's her full backpedal

First of all she said it, not him, it wasn't about the Browns but in general, and he just agreed.  She says she shouldn't have reported it, because its been twisted.

 

She got the attention she wanted from it. All reporters do it. There is no “off the record“ with them

      Travis Hunter on T-Mac

      By Seltzer · Posted

      T-Mac put up good numbers for 3 consecutive seasons on teams without a good QB situation, and in an environment where T-Mac got game planned against weekly and still performed. Teams threw all kinds of defensive coverages against T-Mac, and he still found ways week in and week out to contribute at a high level. XL was basically a 1-year wonder. Doesn't mean he cant be great (and I think him & T-Mac will compliment each other well), but i think T-Mac is the more polished of the 2 right now. This certainly isn't a perfect comparison, but I hope XL & T-Mac can approximate what we had with Smitty & Moose (Although i think T-Macs ceiling is higher than Moose and XLs ceiling is lower than Smitty). Both those guys were multiple Pro Bowlers and even All-Pro. T-Mac & XL have a long way to go to actually being comparable, but the potential is there. And regardless of how this season turns out, you can actually see a strategic plan being executed. On paper, I think this offensive roster has as much talent as any Panthers team since 2017. Defense is still a question mark, and it's unrealistic to think we will go from being historically bad to great in 1 year, but based on historical and statistical data, we stand a much better chance of turning the defense around in 1 year than the offense. I still want us to potentially add at S, CB, and ILB, but this roster is exponentially better than the roster heading into the 2023 season. Which still begs the question of how & why the team thought they were in a good position to trade all the way up. Regardless, it's in the past, and while the past 2 years have mostly sucked, we are strategically in a much better position than we have been in years. This is easily the best WR group since 2020 IMO (Moore, Anderson, Samuel). I'm super excited about what T-Mac can bring to this offense and team, and I'm really hoping we continue to build off where we ended last year offensively, and hopefully we've made enough improvements on defense to be competitive. I've also been vocal for the most part in supporting BY9. He came into an awful situation and to a team that was in no position to make such a trade.   Still, this is Year 3. And this is a team that IMHO has both the talent & depth on offense to score and score a lot. Most QBs that ever amount to anything are competing by Year 3. There are no excuses for the offense not to perform. I think BY9 knows full well what's riding on this year in terms of his long term future.  And I think T-Mac is a massive piece in helping Bryce and the team get over the hump and back into playoff contention.
