                  He's been getting hammered by the media this week in every interview he has done. At least he has been willing to go out there and take it on the chin. Let's hope he puts the work in the offseason.

                    That's not good to hear. He was at his best when with the QB whisperer. I think it was Cowherd who said the further time apart from Riley the worse he gets.ย

                      I hope he reconsiders.... Most of you know I played competitive tennis on the collegiate level. FWIWย everyย top pro tennis player has a coach- and it's pretty simple. You justย can'tย self analyze yourself what you're doing wrong or how to improve. I don't give a damn how much tape you look at. Don't get arrogant Baker.ย

                                  I would say, last season has matured Baker quite a bit already.

                                    Soooooooo....lots of people were kind of hoping for something like this, and we got it. The problem is, Baker is wrong. He says he got here by keeping his head down and working. Well, that's somewhat true, but he got here by being brash, outspoken, and being deadly accurate with the effing ball.ย 

                                    Don't get me wrong, I loved hearing what he said, but Baker missing high all year has nothing to do with his attention to social media. He needs to get his freaking stance corrected AND he needs a proper tight end.ย 

                                    You don't set an NFL touchdown record by accident, so Baker can definitely play. Lots went wrong last year, and we probably should have known what to expect after week 1. I remember thinking, "Oh shit."ย 

                                    Oh shit indeed, as Baker would go on to miss people in the end zone, lock onto targets preemptively, and generally be a football butthole of the highest order. What I don't know is how much of this disaster was our coach's fault. We were a shit show, even in most victories, and I want to believe a fresh start will greatly help our enigmatic QB.ย

                                    Nothing unusual about gaining weight after getting married.

                                    Been there, done that....

                                    ... twice.

                                    Fortunately the effects were not additive.

                                    Yup... The internal fire that drove him to show up his detractors also fueled his mouth... which produced detractors... which fueled... etc. It was the perfect engine so long as the performance level was there. And then it wasn't...

                                    I get the whole Humble Pie thing (Steve Marriott died way too young)... mending bridges... but that's all public image stuff designed more for his marketability, than his football. At least that's what his entire football history suggests. Did anyone see inner-determination in these latest interviews? Any intensity in his eyes? I didn't.

                                    Can he reinvent himself? Find another source of inspiration? Anything is possible... but I don't think it's likely.

                                    After we drafted Baker someone commented that sentiment here had shifted away from him being an asshole to which I replied, "Sure... because he's our asshole now." Hope I'm wrong, but I think there's a good chance that we will end up missing our asshole.

                                    How is he going to be fine with going 2-14?

                                        Nothing unusual about gaining weight after getting married.

                                        Been there, done that....

                                        ... twice.

                                        Fortunately the effects were not additive.

                                        Soooooooo....lots of people were kind of hoping for something like this, and we got it. The problem is, Baker is wrong. He says he got here by keeping his head down and working. Well, that's somewhat true, but he got here by being brash, outspoken, and being deadly accurate with the effing ball.

                                        Yup... The internal fire that drove him to show up his detractors also fueled his mouth... which produced detractors... which fueled... etc. It was the perfect engine so long as the performance level was there. And then it wasn't...

                                        I get the whole Humble Pie thing (Steve Marriott died way too young)... mending bridges... but that's all public image stuff designed more for his marketability, than his football. At least that's what his entire football history suggests. Did anyone see inner-determination in these latest interviews? Any intensity in his eyes? I didn't.

                                        Can he reinvent himself? Find another source of inspiration? Anything is possible... but I don't think it's likely.

                                        After we drafted Baker someone commented that sentiment here had shifted away from him being an asshole to which I replied, "Sure... because he's our asshole now." Hope I'm wrong, but I think there's a good chance that we will end up missing our asshole.

                                        How is he going to be fine with going 2-14?

                                        Jesus, being a Browns fan is tough enough, now we'll have to deal with this?

                                        Going to get real backed up.
