  • Look how upset the fans were when taking Baker ....I wonder if they are still weeping

    BAKER GETS THE CALL
     

  • I'm more than happy to take my plate to the all you can eat buffet of crow. 

    😂

  • I’ll never forget that shock! I wasn’t mad or upset, just surprised.

    Dorsey wasn’t afraid to draft a less than ideal height QB 1st overall.

    Shoutout to Kirk Herbstreit for predicting the pick and predicting that Baker would fit in so well in Cleveland!

  • PFF had him far and away #1 so I wasn't shocked, I just hoped it would work out.

  • I was thinking of Rosen. But certainly I liked him as my second favorite. In the draft presser I liked him the most along Rosen and against Georgia he made some impressive passes. 

    One year later, I can't think of anyone more appropiate to lead this team, and Rosen has rumours saying that he's out of his team (which I think that whether you like him or not, it's absurd. He's a first round pick with only a year under his belt in a bad team)

    I'm glad the way everything turned out. Let's keep fighting. 

  • Truthfully I was thinking "Uh oh, another diminutive semi-running QB from the Big 12-2 who has rarely faced high level defenses." He is proving he is more than that thanks to work with Freddie.

  • I was happy as heck.  I knew we had to have that guy.  He was clearly the best.

    If everybody had like minds, we would never learn.

  • For me, there was no other choice than Baker. I wanted that kid so bad & could only hope that Dorsey did too.I LOVED the part where Kirk Herbstreit politely shoved Mel's statement down his throat.

  • I have to admit, the douchebag had a helluva rookie season..... ?

  • Originally I was dead set against drafting Manziel 2.   Then when it was convincing enough that he was NOT a Manziel I wasn't against him being the pick if that's who Dorsey thought was the best QB, but I wanted a tall guy with good mechanics.   In reality though, I wanted Dorsey to pick who he thought was the best QB at #1 and NOT to let someone else have the best QB and then go ahead and take who fell to him at #4.

    Me too; because of how slightly politely it was to the Ratbird Cheerleader.   Herbie's skin wasn't just crawling - it was doing aerobics.  BLEE DAT!

    The recent trend of Patrick Mahomes and Baker Mayfield from the Big 12 might want to have people looking at the QBs instead of their conferences moving forward.

    Once upon a time the Tedford System QBs were a "no no" until Aaron Rodgers ended such a trend.  Having said that, was that Tedford Trend a big reason such a talent like Rodgers slid all the way to #24 overall to the team Favre was starting for?   There were also the BYU QBs that didn't pan out as starters over the years like: Gifford Nielsen, Marc Wilson, Robbie Bosco, Ty Detmer and John Beck.  However, Jim McMahon and Steve Young were enough of an exception to that rule to remind people to look at the QB instead of the school, system, conference, etc...

    This was my concern as well, by far. I didn't think the guy was Manziel 2.0 in the slightest, but rather the simple truth of Big 12 QB's having essentially no success in the NFL. Between Mahomes and Baker, that script is officially flipped.

    The Chrysler LeBaron, and Eddie happened a long time ago. Until real recently those nasty analytics nerds thought NFL quarterbacks shouldn't be less than 6'2". Brees and Wilson were considered outliers in the equation.  Baker's success last year threw that one out the window, and has paved the way for Kyler Murray to be drafted high this evening.  It will remain to be seen if Murray can duplicate Mayfield's instant success.
