    That poor SOB couldn’t have hit water throwing a football out of a boat in the middle of Lake Erie last week.

    The biggest thing is for Baker to attack the middle. If he can't do that, his career is over. That pick 6 certainly my help because that was the easiest read ever. What Baker really needs is a game where the defense and special teams just takes over and the running game finishes it off. Let's take the pressure off the guy and let him continue to learn.

    And if he's playing under the same system next year, producing the same mediocre results, still surrounded by a good to very good amount of talent, what will the Baker apologists say then, I wonder? 

    Fine, let's go with the fact that he's played under a different head coach every year. I think that is a valid excuse. 

    But if he's still producing the same results next year, under Stefanski again, in his fourth season, then what?

    I'm betting Baker feels like he is the BBQ.

  • I'm not trying to pile on because I desperately want Baker to succeed, but I'm watching the Eagles and Giants play and both QBs are making throws that Baker can't make. 

    What's historically been the cure for what ails Baker? The Bengals. But I'm telling you now, our DL has to step up. We haven't had a sack on the DL from someone not named Myles Garrett since week 3. I'm so sick of seeing Vernon get absolutely dominated by tackles, it's not funny. DO SOMETHING Vernon.

    They say he had sore ribs and whatever......but what about the offensive letdown last year.......with the defensive problems to be fair.

    Do the BROWNS try to hang on to the same coaching carrosel currently in place for a few years to see what happens ?

    Unfortunately the BROWNS currently aren't in the NFCE right now and their division might be tough for a few years to come. But maybe a 5-2 record will cheer everyone up !

    ........ don't even think about 20 more years of futility. 😕

    Oh yeah !   With a side of a big BROWNS win would be even better.

    ........now going 5-2 does sound good right now.  🙂

  • Maybe Baker needs glasses ala Rick Vaughn so he can find the strike zone again 😛

  • I forgot, I charted plays and watched half a season's games worth of OU football that year.     Dated November 21, 2017.

    One of my largest observations that season was Baker throwing off ball action and no action.   The results were pretty significantly different at times.  

    Now ask yourself, has anything really progressed or improved fundamentally with our QB in 3 years?

  • Dispassionate accuracy is frowned upon, tia.  There must be some excuse for Baker's consistent inconsistency other than a lack of skill!

  • Baker needs a good game this week. Big opportunity to bounce back. Pass rush of Cincy won’t be nearly as good as Pitts was

    If they don't win by 20, then there is reason for concern. They should blow the Bungs out, 34-10 or something like that. Cinci didn't get the 1st pick overall in the draft because they are good. 

  • @gorka said:

    Wow.

    Everyone needs to watch this. The Steelers are not 31 points better than the Browns, neither are the Ravens 32 points better.

    The Browns and the Steelers are equals...up and down the roster.

    Except at one position.

    You can't believe this can you? Let's go through the 22.

    QB: Not even a discussion, BR WAY over BM

    RB: Hunt/Chubb over Conner

    WR1: OBJ over JuJu

    WR2: Landry over Washington 

    WR3: Claypool over Higgins

    TE: Hooper by a bit

    LT: Villanueva over Wills

    LG: Bitonio over Feller

    C- Pouncey over Trotter

    RG: Decastro over Teller

    RT: Conklin over Okorafor

    Offense: Cleveland 6 Pittsburgh 5

    DE: Garrett over Twitter

    DT: Heyward over Ogunjobi

    NT/DT/DE: Alualu over Richardson/Vernon 

    OLB: Watt WAY over Wilson

    ILB: Bush WAY over Goodson

    ILB: Williams over Phillips

    OLB: Dupree WAY over Takitaki/Smith

    CB: Ward over Haden

    CB: Nelson over Mitchell 

    FS: Fitzpatrick WAY over Sendejo

    SS: Edmunds WAY over Joseph

    Defense: Pittsburgh 9 Cleveland 2

    Total: Pittsburgh 14 Cleveland 8

    Baker was terrible, but to think that the teams up and down the roster are even is when you get unreachable expectations.

    While unlikely, if the Browns are fully healthy and play a very good game with the right game plan they can beat Pittsburgh. But they are a bad match up for Browns anytime they play. They have an above average Offense (while the Browns have a below average defense at best) and they have probably the best defense in the NFL and the Browns have a very good explosive offense (especially with Chubb and IF Baker is having a good day). But they DON'T have the NFL best offense

    Teller has played extremely well this year, but at the start of the year his position was the ONLY question mark on the offense.

    And this isn't a ranking on just the games played so far this season, as a number of factors can go into a good/bad start.

    Now if you want to do on just this year based on stats, etc. then Conner would be ranked ahead of Chubb and Claypool over both OBJ and Landry.

    Or we can go on a broader spectrum: Keelan Cole and Cole Beasley are better than Mike Evans and Julio Jones, Kenyan Drake and Miles Sanders are better than Zeke, Aaron Jones, and Josh Jacobs. Or QB, Minshew is better than Burrow, Brady, Wilson, Rodgers, etc. 

    But sure, lets just go ahead and agree with you on this one for argument sake. 13-9

  • Teller played as the best graded guard in the game Before he got hurt, for what it’s worth. But yes he’s young and hasn’t had a proven career like Decastro

    DeCastro is certainly talented.. But I'm not putting him in the HOF just yet... I think Teller has way more upside

    I honestly think our coaching staff is top notch. The Teller injury is huge and I don't like not having a better backup RG. Hubbard is a terrific teammate and person, but he's a better Tackle than guard. He can pass block, can't run block. 

    Remember getting our asses blown apart against Baltimore? Then looking great against Cincy? Yeah, we've got Cincy again but this time we have our stud nickel back (Kevin Johnson) instead of poor Tavierre Thomas. We've also got Karl Joseph AND Ronnie Harrison back. Our defense will be so much better Sunday, trust me. 

    Are we perfect? No. We miss Chubb. We'll miss Hooper (Wtf?!) and we'll certainly miss Teller. But you know what? It's Kareem Hunt time. He'll have 3 total tds and well over 150 total yards. Trust me, he'll blow up.

    That was the exact point I was making. I know he was rated at the best, and he very well may end up being better in the long run.

    @nickers said:

    Well 1st nobody said he was a HOF player, and nobody said anything about upside, but you did say it was joke to rank DD over WT based on something? So are you of the opinion that what Teller has done in his 5 games this year has given him the huge jump to surpass him? Because based off of last season, Teller was rated at 56.8 grade, while Decastro was a pro bowler. And heading into the season, Decastro was rated as the 5th best interior OL in the entire league.

    He's an actual stud, but we're not going to see him make any noise until Baker gets his middle of the field mojo back. 

    Look for that to happen Sunday.

    Hey why not... There are people out there who think Burrow is better than Baker and he's only played 6 fucking games...
