Baker to Carolina
-
No leg to stand on. I don't say this as a steeler fan. It's what happens when you do your qb dirty and the rest of the league knows and sees how disgruntled he is. The team at the very least should have let him know they were going to go after Watson, especially after they trotted the dude out there with a bum shoulder. I still say he should have sat and keenum should have played so he could get healthy. Now in hindsight to me it feels like Haslam wanted to dirty the dudes name so they could easily move to the equally stupid Watson deal.
Antonio brown should have went for a hell of a lot more than he did when he first got shipped out. However he melted down and his value was in the gutter. It was a damn Christmas miracle the steelers got what they did for him. I frankly figured he too would go for a 5th.
Correct, they did do him dirty. Plus, my hunch ( & probably many others) is since they signed DW to such a ridiculous contract, the Browns are kinda blackballed in NFL circles.
If Carolina beats the Browns week 1, Haslam should sell the team. Oh shit, the Browns never win week 1.
Correct, they did do him dirty.
No they didn't. Don't listen to steeler fans. An organization would never tell the player that they're planning on getting someone else in to take his job. That would be dumb.
BEING A BROWNS FAN IS A TEST TO SEE HOW MUCH YOU CAN TAKE -

Haslam & Berry told Baker they were going after Aaron Rogers and Russell Wilson.
And yes…they are dumb.

We're absolutely losing to Carolina week 1

FINALLY!!!

Hmm...Higgins a good target? 'As Collinsworth said, He's not fast nor does he run particularly good routes.' He's a CB's dream receiver.
I think their weapons complement Baker well…Moore and Anderson can get deep and open on playaction targets. Higgins as we know is a security blanket and mcCaffery should be a great pass run option for 6-8 games.
Their Line is actually - Meh…which is unfortunate for Baker who seems to need that extra second to process things.

Which is it ? A. A clear win for Carolina. B. A clear loss for Cleveland C. Both D. Neither.
How about a unanimous C.
is this pitiful story over yet ? I'm afraid not.

The Defense, Special Teams and Ball Control offense need to be the theme early. Fortunately we play three teams out of the gate that can beat themselves but nothing will be easy.

OH, boy, our friends in NC will get us tickets. Baker is already listed at the starter at qb on the one depth chart I looked at.
Now, who does Baker throw to? A nicer wr group than Baker had in 2021.
https://profootballmania.com/2022/06/23/carolina-panthers-wide-receiver-outlook/
Most receiving yards -- last 3 seasons 1. Cooper Kupp -- 4,082 2. Davante Adams -- 3,924 3. Stefon Diggs -- 3,890 4. Travis Kelce -- 3,770 5. D.J. Moore -- 3,525
That is interesting....
"....they have an impressive wide receiver duo in D.J. Moore and Robby Anderson. Moore is coming off his third straight 1,000+ yard season – as he also has 87 receptions and 93 receptions in two of his past three seasons. Moore had an impressive 76.9 grade by PFF last season."
That should help Higgins be more a possession receiver.
and, throwing to McCaffrey and Hubbard - is a huge plus. I can see Baker making that work pretty nice.
If Baker starts at qb for the Panthers vs the Browns......... I can see Baker leading them to a win.
and, the haslams need to sell the browns. They are slimy like I never realized.

YES !

Man, now I can't wait for the season opener! My only fear is that Baker won't beat out Darnold in camp.?

Don’t fear that one.
the real issue may be HC vs Baker. Rhule seems to have some thin skin. I know Teddy B played well for Carolina but was critical of Rhule and that wasnt taken well by Rhule. Baker ain’t no picnic and certainly speaks his mind.

★ Baker Mayfield to Carolina ? YOU HEARD IT HERE FIRST, naturally. And on the 4th of July. ★
Remember this post ?
And how about this from Heavy.com. July 03, 2022. ---->
The Cleveland Browns may have fewer suitors for Baker Mayfield than many have expected over the last several months.
While the Carolina Panthers remain in the driver’s seat to acquire Mayfield with the Seattle Seahawks riding shotgun, the Detroit Lions have remained a dark horse candidate to swoop in and make a last-minute deal for the quarterback.
The primary reason for that is John Dorsey, the one-time general manager in Cleveland and now a high-ranking member of the Lions’ front office. Detroit may also soon be in the market for a new signal caller, if the team isn’t already. The Lions traded Matthew Stafford to the Los Angeles Rams last season, receiving Jared Goff as part of the return. Stafford went on to win a championship in Southern California, while Goff’s arm was colder than the weather in Detroit where he led his teammates to a 3-10-1 record across 14 starts. --------> continued --------->

They are critical of heavy but take a guy like Flip Flop Florio as gospel…go figure

The steelers did with mitch trubisky. Why do you think the dude is/was so mad?

Why are people acting so surprised baker was finally traded.
I am glad he was traded and we got what looks like it will be a 4th rounder. We didn't have any leverage earlier in this process, but the opening of camp became our leverage. If teams want him for the opener, they needed to get him in before camp.
If baker was a true franchise guy, we would have been able to get more.
Baker was a decent QB. The problem is the bar people were comparing him to included guys like Frye, Weeden, Wallace, etc.
If everybody had like minds, we would never learn.
