But he had a great D. He had Chubb and Karem. I guess I don’t really remember thinking his WR were particularly good or bad but if that wasn’t good enough for a game manager. Where do you go from there?

He did have both Chubb and Kareem, that’s true. Though a check of the game logs reveals that for whatever reason. Gus was the primary RB not Chubb, for a large part of the season. Maybe Chubb was dinged up, I don’t really remember.
But in his 4 years in CLE, baker never had a defense better than 20th. That surprised me, but every ranking system on the net agrees. Cleveland’s defense didn’t become great until after Baker was traded.
