baker is a franchise quarterback

[ForJimmy]

He was sacked 4 times, had a center then couldn’t snap the damn ball, a run defense that couldn’t get him the ball back and a HC who prevented him from attempting a game winning TD when he had the offense in rhythm. All of these things and he still gave them the lead with just over a minute left. To top it off he had no chance to try to capture the lead again after they got that final FG.

Did we just not watch the same game?  Baker is what he is, a mediocre qb who's too short to see the field.  Learn to live with it. 

I agree with you a lot, but got to disagree with this.  Baker settled down after the first int and played a magnificent game, even with getting knocked on his a$$ for much of the third qtr.  For the entire second half, he completed 75% of his passes and threw for 150 yards, and got 17 points.  I don't know if he is the future, but at least for today, he played a great second half.

By the way we need to teach our OL to make these DL pay for jumping up and swatting passes when they are being “blocked.” I saw an interview with an old DL who was saying he hated trying to bat down passes because the OL damn near broke his ribs when he would put his arms up.

Baker Bros are...

He looked awful the first half. He looked like a legit starter second half. If I see a complete game next week and a W I'm on board with him.

We could have had a franchise Qb in year 2 of a rookie deal

I already see we are going to have posters that originally were down on Baker stay down on him when he plays well. I know we will have the opposite as well. I feel most rational people think he did his part today and willed them into a position to win the game (only to be let down by his coach and defense).

I would prefer QB that doesn’t have to leave the pocket in order to see downfield.

It's nothing I didn't say before he was signed. Furthermore, I don't think it's too critical. Mayfield has a body of work that didn't begin today. Heart and fire is only going to take you so far. Franchise QBs have that and then some.

This is Baker's 4th system in 5 years. What his body of work shows is that he rallies his team and is a good leader on the field. He took Cleveland and made them a playoff team. He is going to do the same thing for us if not this year then next. But your boy Corral needs to keep learning to eventually take over. But intangibles like fire and heart is what takes an athletic qb and makes them a franchise qb. You need to stop trying to criticize Baker as if it has any Impact on what happens to Corral.

It only looked good because of his play in the 1st half. He started looking better but I would not call it great. Good enough to win if he hadn't played like ass in the first half.  But the loss is not all on him. It was a team effort.
