I'm not even going to comment about Baker today. I thought he did pretty well and did enough to win. His team let him down, which sucks, but it definitely happens. Gotta have a defense...and we certainly don't.
The worst part is that we have to wait 2 weeks. They can't just get back to work.

No, the best part of today is that the Browns get 2 weeks off to get healthy, make adjustments and get their minds right.
They need all three, and this bye week could not have came at a better time.

In a way you're definitely right. We need to get healthy and we're definitely not, but we also lost a pretty bad one and it's going to marinate for a bit. I hate it for this team that they have to go into the bye week with this bad taste in their mouth, but perhaps it will galvanize them.

Am I the only one that thinks Baker has a ways to go in becoming a legit pocket passer. His footwork is all over the place. When you look at Burrows and Baker. Burrows looks like a young Brady in the pocket. Baker looks like a nervous Chihuahua at times. He threw a pass on Sunday with his footwork all out of wack and his shoulder completely open, and missed the throw.

No, you aren't.
Many of us see flaws in his game like his ability to pass out of the pocket consistently well.

He has happy feet. And some of the awful passes he makes is because he doesn't set himself properly in a balanced passing stance. Brady is quite opposite, looks like a robot. I don't mind Baker not being a robot, but... He should exercise his footwork.

Exorcise???

Did you see this in the LV game? I ask because our OL pitched the proverbial shutout... 0 sacks... 0 knockdowns... 0 pressures... 0 hurries. PFF gave us the highest PassPro grade they have given since 2013. https://brownswire.usatoday.com/2020/11/03/browns-offensive-line-pass-protection-vs-raiders-no-pressure/
We all know a relatively calm 2018 Mayfield earned his happy-feet behind our 2019 sieve. While he's shown them in 2020, it'd take a while to get 2019 out of his head. Personally I see improvement in the first 3 seconds of his dropbacks. After that? Well... it's time to move anyway.
As for Brady... TB12 does often bounce on his toes in the pocket, which I understand is different from happyfeet... buy he also has one other thing that can't be taught to Baker... height. At 6'4-3/8" (Combine measured) he can see things over the line that Baker will always have to search for between helmets.

No. You are not, and if you like Burrows, then you should watch the kid that plays for the Chargers...

Read an article last week on why Herbert is having unexpected early success with LAC.
Bottom line was that at Oregon he was in a system that was ill-suited to his skill set.
That said.... still early yet.
Remember it was just two years ago a fresh, young QB set the rookie TD record.

Not sure who wrote what, but for me it's simple. He passes my eye test - big time. If I had to place a bet on any of the young QBs to still be in the league in 10 years (ours included), Justin gets all my chips.
We'll revisit this post in 3,650 days... ?

By definition, to be average Baker would be somewhere around the 15th or 16th best QB in the NFL. Do you think he is?
Let's look. By the ratings (and I realize you can argue the ratings alone doesn't always tell the full story but it's a good start)...
R. Wilson
Mahomes
Rogers
Carr
Tannehill
D. Watson
Brees
Herbert
Brady
J. Allen
Big Ben
Dak
Kyle Allen
Bridgewater
N. Mullens
M. Ryan
Rivers
Fitzpatrick
Stafford
Goff
Minshew
L. Jackson
K. Murray
Jimmy G
Cousins
Burrow
Baker
Tua
Kaskins
Foles
Driskel
Tyrod Taylor
Dan Jones
Cam Newton
Wentz
That puts him at 27, which is far below average. And looking at the order of the list, it passes my eye test as far as being accurate in determining quality of play. I'd move a few up or down a few spots, but it's pretty on the $.
So even if you can argue Baker maybe a few spots better, he's still around the 25th best or so. Is that acceptable for the 1st pick overall in the draft halfway through his 3rd season? If the Browns were told,"By his 3rd season, Baker will be the 27th rated passer" would they have taken him #1 overall?
Of course, I am in no way suggesting now would be the time for a change, no way. He gets at least this season to show what he has got, barring him just falling of a cliff, especially considering we have to see of the passing game blossoms without forcing it to OBJ so often. (But others say the passing attack will suffer sans OBJ.) The 2nd half of this season is huge in determining Baker's future. As things stand, his last year option is probably safe, but if he doesn't ascend from where he is now, a big, new franchise QB deal is not likely. Baker, it's time. You are at a crossroad.

Right now Baker is just a guy that is good enough to get the job done, he is not going to carve up a defense like a Manning or Brady. He is what he is, unless he steps up his game big time, he is not going to be the future of this franchise. I mean I like the guy he is competitive but competitiveness will only get you so far in this league.
-
Baker's team is 5-3 and would be in the playoffs, much of which is based on an offense that he is the leader of.
That is all I need to know.
-
Guess it depends on how you want to look at it. This team just made the statement they are more worried about the future than they are this year buy doing nothing to fix the defense, so if you break down the top ten, personally there are only 3 QB’s on that list that I would swap for Baker right now...
Mahomes, Watson and Wilson
obviously if you turn back the clock or change team strategy to win now, you’d add in
Brady, Rodgers and Brees
But those guys could be a year or major injury away from being retired.
Carr and Tannehill are a pass, and Allen has some moments but has the accuracy of a knuckle ball in the wind....
Herbert would be a push based on his 5 game career so far.
If you expand out on the next 10, based on the same criteria I’d probably swap Baker for Ryan and probably Dak but I’d have to think pretty hard. Stafford.... meh I don’t know....I’d probably pass.
then the rest of the way out you have guys like Lamar and Murray who kind of have to have a offense tailored to their play style, so I guess it depends with those kind of guys, I have friends that love that kind of play and others that can’t stand it, (I’d hate to have a running type QB and have to hold your breath when he takes hits game after game and their shelf life is questionable)
After that I’d say Burrow is the last candidate, who some are super high on, but throws 45+ times a game and has 11 TD’s all season.... 6 against Cleveland’s “Defense”... Baker haters say hell ya give me Burrow, I haven’t seen enough yet, so I’d say push.
you wanna win right now? Then turn that list on its ear and go for a high powered Vet.
If I were Berry, I’d extend the contract, build my team for two more years, see what he ends up looking like make a call in his 5th year to trade or resign.
Going off that list of swaps and maybes, that puts Baker at about 12-15 QB in the league. I’d say average to above average is a good estimate.Considering the Browns usual “shit sandwich to soggy shit sandwich” QB play....
