Is time bringing OBJ question more into focus?
-
Baker "hummed along" without OBJ his rookie season, when he broke the rookie record for touchdown passes.
He then regressed from that last season with OBJ on the team, Freddie Kitchens and was pretty mediocre this season with him. Tough defenses early on in the schedule
Then he immediately has the game of his career in the game OBJ has a season-ending injury. Bengals defense
Perhaps there's a chemistry problem with Baker when OBJ is on the field. Or, perhaps he knows how good OBJ is and figures, if all else fails, force it towards OBJ and he might make a great catch for you. And as long as he's putting the ball where it shouldn't be intercepted, then it's better than taking a sack or throwing it into the stands. As I recall, I felt he tried to force it too much to Landry in his rookie year....but that would stand to reason if he was your best 'great catch' type of guy.
I just can't (almost refuse) to believe that we're a better team with lesser talent. (so long as that talent isn't a dick...and OBJ just seems like one, but isn't, according to any player he has played with)

I get it, it doesn't make sense.
But man, the numbers seem to say it could very well be true.

I think a bigger issue was simply Baker adapting to the Stefanski system than "worrying about OBJ". I wish we had him back in there now that Baker seems to be so much better inculcated with the system. I believe with him it would hum right along.

What? Have you become Ice Cube? You forget that last year there was the Fat Freddy factor.

Don't bring up numbers, facts and other ridiculous stuff in an emotionally based thread you dumbass.
I like his blonde hair.

Or the fact that Baker showed up to his second season fat and unprepared...
Like I've said before, there's definitely shades of grey to all of this. There can be some legit reasons for the difference between his production with and without OBJ.
But there's a big difference.

I totally agree. I think we'd have a deadly deep threat that with OBJ. I really do.

Why does Baker average almost 2 yards an attempt more WITHOUT OBJ this season then?
That includes three horrible weather games you were losing your shit over.

I get it. I really do. The only rebuttal is that Baker is simply more comfortable in the offense, but it's a strong argument. Baker is seeing the field better, trusting his eyes, and making better decisions. I totally get what you're saying, and you could be right, but I just don't think a QB gets better by not having a guy like OBJ.

The Stefanski factor, to me is by far the more important, impactful factor.

The O did nothing with him playing in games, blew up since he's been out.

Your opinion is not wanted on this subject.

Yeah those 49 points vs. Dallas really sucked... as did the 32 vs. the Colts... 34 vs. WSH... and 35 vs. Cinci...
