    Sure enough was! Btw, that game winner was stunning as well. It literally dropped right in the basket for the win. Unbelievable. Deep sideline throws haven't been kind to Baker but that throw was huevos grandes. 

    Gun to my head, this game doesn't change my thought that Baker's ceiling is that of an average starting QB long-term. 

    My man, he was fun to watch today.

    Hard sell, eh? 😉

    We've seen the ceiling... and it is plenty high enough.

    So it comes down to: 1.) consistency... where there's a ways to go. And mastering 2.) complexity... which was not exactly a hallmark of Cinci's D today.

    Actually the above two have a good bit of overlap since it's been struggles with complex Ds that have been the source of much of the inconsistency.

    I mean, being an average starting QB still means you are in the top 15-20 QBs in the whole world.... ?

    But I just do not see him progressing to being a top tier QB. Hopefully I'm wrong! 

  • Not sure I do either, DO. It's not exactly a slamdunk... but it is also not outside the realm of possibility.

    As I said, we've seen the the ceiling... more than a few times with yesterday simply being the latest incident... and it was at a level where including it's proficiency in a top 10 or even 5 discussion would not be out of place if it becomes the norm rather than the exception.
