Baker to Carolina
-
Did you see OBJ's dad's video? I can't tell you how many times I saw Baker come off of Njoku crossing over the short middle, open, so he could try and throw longer to someone who wasn't open. Or how 'bout the time he had Felton, just standing 2 yards past the sticks, wide open...and looked right at him....only to decide to try and run it himself, and of course not make it so we had to punt?
Baker wanted things to be about him. Which is probably why he wouldn't look to get the ball to OBJ because then the media (and OBJ) would make it about OBJ.
Look, Baker can be a pretty decent QB. He's the best we've had since our return. But as ballpeen put it, the 'bar' was set pretty low by the previous QB's. I mean Kelly Holcome took us to the playoffs too. And truth be told, Holcome gets the playoff victory against the Steelers if Dennis Northcutt doesn't drop the easiest game winning first down pass in the history of the league.
yep. I wouldn't throw to obj and njoku either. They drop passes. As I posted - obj has a worst top ten dropped passes rating in the NFL.
njoku had rock hands on easy throws to catch, especially over the middle.
You throw to the wr's who can catch the ball.
The giants were delighted to get obj the hell out of town. His dad's video.... doesn't explain his being a huge disappointment in NY.
watch and learn the truth:
Njoku continues to struggle with drops early on during training camp, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports.. This has been a consistent theme for Njoku during the first week ...yep. I wouldn't throw to obj and njoku either. They drop passes. As I posted - obj has a worst top ten dropped passes rating in the NFL.

This has been a consistent theme for Njoku during the first week ...Even if they are notorious for drops, the chances of catching the ball by throwing it to the open receiver are greater than trying to force it to a receiver that's covered.
If the open guy happens to drop it, then it's not on Baker, and no one could point fingers at him, coaches, fans, management, no one...so maybe he'd still be a Brown. But you're right about the fact that Baker needed receivers that can catch the damn ball.

Meanwhile for the rest of us living in 2022.
Njoku has a 61.7 catch percentage, a number that has steadily increased the last three seasons. His 67.9 catch percentage last season was a career high and led all Browns receivers with 50 or more targets.
3.8 - To put the last stat a little differently, Njoku had a meager 3.8 drop percentage (two drops) last season, second-lowest among Browns receivers with 50 or more targets.

I just put it down (again) a few minutes ago. I've been trying to decide which pickups to put in. Seymour Duncan Seth Lover, Pearly Gates, '59's, Antiquities I'd love but they don't come in 4 wire. But every time I play it I'm thinking to myself, WTH is wrong with 'these' pickups? And the answer is, Nothing. They sound freakin' great (to my ear anyhow).

Aug 19, 2020Njoku dropped just 3 of 35 catchable passes in 2017, according to Pro Football Focus. That gave him a drop rate of 8.6, 21st among qualifying tight ends. But that drop rate ballooned the next year ... -

I'm a Seymour Duncan guy... Always hated DiMarzios.. I have Hot Rails, SH-6 Duncan Distortions...Cool rails and a P-Rails Hot pickup in my red Fender Strat.. The Epiphone Pro Buckers are really good... Lollar makes fantastic humbuckers... For my money... I agree w/Axe.. the Duncan JB humbucker is still the king in my book.. it's next on the hit list...That Paul is sweet lookin.. And if your looking for the Eddie sound... You can get Mighty Mites Ed used those a lot.. Then Seymour Duncan designed a pickup for Ed.But Ed never used it... It's basically what the Seymour Duncan Custom Custom pickup is... And yes it's called Custom Custom... Neal Schon uses them...

When in the last 23 years have the browns had a shot to win a Super Bowl? You have been a fan thus far. When you get down to it, the browns have probably only had 5-6 legit shots at being a team that could have made the Super Bowl since the Super bowl became the game....what was that, 1967?
Whatever Peen, this board has devolved so badly that real football talk takes a back seat to ridiculous semantic bullshit like this. It's pathetic.

~ WHOA, Orion, Axe, nickers ~
Very nice pictures guys, some nice guitars there. And to think way back when circa late 1960s I choose momotorcycles and cars (now long gone) instead of instruments for about 10+ years.
Guys down the street got a lot of guitars ? and other musical stuff now collector's in nature.
Very nice.
.......edit add, I'd take pictures and video cloud storage for insurance and other collector's reasons and have them properly identified if you have not already done so. Ive gone through my house (finally) and done so. And don't forget the little things.
A guy in the locker next to mine down the mill had a fire upstairs and some friends house and apartment fires lost a LOT then got burned again by their insurance companies. Just a tip guys. Many renters don't insure it's not that expensive compared to a leather jacket collections (one friend).
Sorry about the money chat, NICE guitars guys
Again very nice pictures.
-
(Just a footnote.) I read your posts again, quite detailed you guys know your stuff.
My friend down the mill had a strange fire in his house, by the time the VFD got there he lost the upstairs plus smoke/water damage. The insurance wrote all of his nice leather jackets and clothes off as "old clothes ". he got screwed.
My renter friends lost everything, no insurance. The landlord then sued them for the total fire damage to that old dump, they went bankrupt. Get replacement cost on your insurance especially on your fine guitars.
Oh just remembered my brother got smoke/water damage in the 1970s. Just started a new job in Mississippi (why no idea) but he rented from his new boss, second week had a fire in a shed attached to the house lost everything clothes, etc. No insurance.
i do know a lot about this stuff if you're interested, i was offered jobs by 4 top insurance companies in the 1970s when i lost my mill jobs.....BTW I did turn them all down.
Fire, theft, auto, liability, blanket coverage not that much more for an umbrella policy. Don't know what that is ? Check it out. We'll it's 6:30 am, school's out. LOL.

7/14/22 - Do remember too that since the 2022 NFL Draft through the first NFL HOF preseason game Thursday August 4 it is the ultimate dead zone for football.
PLUS the other dead, dead zone the never ending D. Watson soap opera maybe the worst ever in Cleveland Browns football history. Worse than JFF and 0-16 put together.
What can any BROWNS fan expect ?
i for one can't freaking wait for the pitiful Jags to play the Raiders plus the enshrinement plus anything like real football related to try to get away from this crap for 15 minutes.
GO BROWNS ! GO BUCKEYES ! and GO ANYTHING ELSE REAL FOOTBALL RELATED.
Give us a freaking break already. Thank you.

David's steady, yet unspectacular improvement is a great thing for this team. He's one of the more athletic and promising young "modern" TE's in the NFL who has played on an offense that hasn't given him a ton of volume. And volume isn't the issue, so much as it would be talent.
-His blocking has come a long way. - His technique has come a long way.
- His drop rate has decreased every season, including the previous with more targets than almost all past years.
I'll bookmark it and we'll revisit at midseason. Until then, enjoy the content I post.

Replaced Watson's name with, well... you can tell. A QB who played in an era of an even weaker AFCS.
I think it should help illustrate how silly your attempt at the 1st point was.
So you want to compare a 2 time Super Bowl winning, 5 time NFL MVP, and Hall of Famer Peyton Manning to a guy that has won only a single playoff game? Great comparison!
Baker was 8th in 2019
https://www.statmuse.com/nfl/ask/most-sacked-qb-in-2019
and look at that.... 4th in 2021
https://www.statmuse.com/nfl/ask/most-sacked-qb-in-2021
Just behind the likes of Burrow, Tannehill and Wilson. Did you also want me to post individual and collective Oline grades for those seasons as well?
You may not realize it, but if your attempt of saying "DUURRR SACKS" is to somehow demean Deshaun, it also ends up as a doubled edged sword against Baker.
See below.Funny you Watson worshipper’s keep bringing up Mayfield, news flash…he’s gone.
edit: Not to get into a Watson/Mayfield debate. That is just dumb at this point. Only wanted to point out your contradiction and poor example is all. Perfectly fine with any opinions, so long as those are backed with some better material to support it.
double edit: To disarm your (likely response) No, I'm not calling Watson Manning. My rebuttal was only to highlight how flimsy it was to use the AFCS as a 'reason'.
Let’s see, the AFC South has been in existence for 20 years and have one SB championship to show for it. We’re going to see how good Lil Jizz likes playing in the AFC North.
So you didn't even do me the kindness of reading my full post before you started responding. Otherwise that bolded bit with the Manning part wouldn't have needed to exist.
Look, division means nothing, ability does. By this same "logic", you wouldn't have liked a trade for JJ Watt because he played in the AFCS. It was a dumb parallel, and it isn't beneath you to just say something like "good point(s), I'll think about it.

Hey tia and anyone else even interested in documentation of data anywhere here's a tip. ( Baker to Carolina 7/14/22 )
1. Go to one of those "free notepad" type sites, quick and easy download and use it for a specific purpose or purposes, for example i use some for recipes only.. Briefly look around for features you like.
2. Copy & paste articles, subject, date, etc. When you fill one up or its full enough tag it. Periodically look it over and copy a few to another new free notepad or just delete.
3. In time any articles worth keeping can then be transferred to a cloud for more permanent storage. HUGE storages can be free or reasonably inexpensive.
4. In time set up your own system. In a year or two you'd be surprised how organized you can become.
I also use this for some interesting personal files that you don't want to lose. Just an idea of getting your bookmark and notes organized. I like mine now.
I might copy this note......... [ Oh, edit, c&p, done......and REMEMBER TO HIT SAVE ! ]
