    Jimmy.  He doesn't do the 'stupid' thing.  Like deciding NOT to throw it to a wide open Felton just past the sticks so he could be macho and run for it.  And not make it because he can't even outrun a cop.  Now, having said that, Jimmy G isn't the type of upgrade that's worth giving up many assets for.  He's better...but not markedly better.

    I respectfully disagree. I believe a lot of Baker's struggles are injury related although it was Baker himself who got himself hurt. I believe that playoff run Baker is head over heels better than JG. I think our team is built similar to the 49ers and I think it is a team built for Baker to succeed. Granted we don't have a Deebo Samuel, I believe if the Browns draft smartly, they will be contenders next season.

    If anyone believes that Baker is solely to blame for this season and you can just replace him would be making a huge mistake. He needs at least next season healthy to prove himself. As a long time suffering Browns fan,  I am willing to give him that chance.

    So you're saying the Browns win despite our QB play?    Nice.

    Baker has had the same problem before the injury.  And it’s been highlighted by others on here…diagnosing coverages and reading defenses in a timely fashion at the NFL level.  He’s been blessed most of his career by having the luxury to overcome this issue with a more than capable offensive line.

    If or When he gets extended the support around him will likely not get better and Year 5 when will he get better?


    We don’t have Deebo but he had the luxury of better security blanket/move the chain WR the past four years Landry.  He’s got a future hall of fame back another that is an elite pass catching weapon.  He had a respected Decoy too that could open up things.

    We aren’t ungrateful.  I am personally grateful that with the help of others he’s turned 1-31 into a .500 record with one playoff experience.
