I'm not sure if it's debatable anymore. What are the contenders? The Ricky Williams trade? Herschel Walker? Tater? He's certainly worse than Tater.

I think there is a non-zero chance they started the Rust Belt version of the Curse of the Bambino.
They were pretty cursed to start with, but my GOD what the Jesus Christ were they doing? This place loves (or at least did when he was making the Browns a contender) to shit on Baker, and he's not Mahomes, but no one is. I've contended from the beginning Baker is good enough to win some games and then make some noise in the playoffs. There is some comparison to Alex, but I don't think that's appropriate. He'd throw a shitload of balls Alex wouldn't. He'd also throw inopportune picks Alex wouldn't but I'd probably rather roll with Baker. Especially if it's not a turnaround job like the Chiefs were in 2013.
Unless you've got Mahomes in the wings, you roll with that guy.
