Correct. Baker can be a ****. And he's not Mahomes. But that doesn't mean he's devoid of value. In limited resource environments it is important to maximize the production per unit salary cap. Giving it all to Watson ain't it.

And the Browns just shit all over him then dumped him while gutting their cap and picks for the privilege of doing so.
They deserve this.

True enough. I'm no Baker fanboy but he's better than he gets credit for. He's not Mahomes, but you can win with him as well as Hurts, et al.

Yeah, the number I heard on the podcast I referenced was a little off but right around there. That is mother****ing catastrophic.

I also think it's missed how much of his game was throwing jump balls to an elite jump ball WR who was paired with an elite speed WR.
Cleveland has a really good roster but they don't have "that"

I mean, I have a million posts on the subject here. So some of us got it.
