Baker to Carolina

tiamat63

I don't think anyone will take me for a Baker defender. But the guy is playing behind, arguably, the league's worst Oline.

But it really does go to solidify that he's an ok QB, but not capable of eliminating pass pro issues or making the weapons around him THAT much better.

I wish him health. Lord knows he'll need it on that offense.

Having an Amari Cooper out there really helps the Browns' offense. Bissett made that big play with future HOF Chubb, and also Hunt, to Cooper.

Baker did it with a TE. Crazy football season. The squealers are tanking, even the Bengals are struggling. I have no idea what is up with that. Macadoo has just started with the Panthers this year. The ratbirds - may or may not beat the pats tomorrow. Miami is really on a roll.

The ratbirds lost to Miami 42-38. Just crazy.

I never tire of the endless excuses for one Baker Mayfield on here.

It warms the cockles of my heart.

Now that's an interesting but maybe conflicting piece of football garb.

Like MAY or MAYBE not FIELD.....well sorta'.

.......edit, but I do see some solid #24 jerseys in the crowd too.

For the Baker backers. They upset the Saints. Mayfield? Um, 12/25 50% completions. 1TD, 0 INT. 170 yards passing- but as against the Browns, 67 yards of that on one play. 83 qbr.

Saints? Give up a fumble 6, two missed FGs, and a tip int.

Yeah it's a team sport. The Browns seem to be playing on all eight or 12 cylinders depending on what kind of a ride you have. Jacoby is on the good end of that bargain. I doubt he would be putting up those numbers under Hue Jackson.

Oh well.

It's hilarious the space Baker rents free in the minds of Baker haters... The Football equivalent of TDS... BDS!

Actually, kinda sick or just childish to hate Baker. But their offensive line started to play together a bit, this last win was the first home win since about a year ago.

RE: Laviska Shenault's performance today

"We had a couple plays for him. Early on we ran a play where we ran back on a naked and they defended him so we had some plays for him. Certainly, that ball that he caught, really, he is kind of running a flat route and it’s really supposed to go to the other guy but they played it differently. Baker [Mayfield] read it perfectly and got on the ball and he turned and ran down the field."

For losing so many games, Baker and the Panthers will improve a lot week to week I think. Should be fun to watch.

Almost cult-like devotion.... hmmmm.... ?

No really, I don't hate Baker at all... But I do like to keep tabs on him. Just out of curiosity to see if the Browns made a huge mistake dumping him. Or, OTOH "He is who we thought he was." A middle of the pack average quarterback that the rest of the league has figured out.

He may not have Chubb, but he does have McCaffery. Time for the Cult to stop the excuses...

No excuses necessary. Just saying if the guy had a team firing on all cylinders like the Cleveland Browns it would be a different story not only for him but for Jacoby Brissett who would be riding the pine in obscurity somewhere. That's it. Everything else, be it his future in the NFL and or Deshaun Watson's future in the NFL and or the Cleveland Browns Super Bowl win are all up for speculation.
