Watson didn't play for 2 years, it really destroyed anything he had going for him.
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" |

![]() ![]() ![]() That just warms the cockles. Damn, that's funny. And I feel bad for the Browns fans, because they didn't ask for any of this, they didn't make the trade for Watson, but my hatred for the CLE ownership/organization just looms large over that little bit of compassion. Suck it, Haslam, and whoever else was in on the decision to try and ruin Baker. Reap it 10000x over.

Unlike Denver they went all in and then tripled down on it. Which I kinda get because once Chubb and Garrett are gone the whole thing implodes. But man they're going to be in hell for a very long time. Rebuilding is one thing, rebuilding with massive cap debt you can't get rid of is something entirely different |

Well, and I get that a lot of Browns fans were done with Baker and a lot of them thought Watson was elite, but not all of them, and I think it wasn't as overwhelming as it seemed from the outside. I know a few CLE fans, and none of them wanted Baker gone. They wanted him to sit and get surgery. They wanted him to stop saying dumb things to the press. But they also wanted him back, just healthy. All just semantics now, of course, just saying I'm only really annoyed with CLE ownership/management. Ymmv

The current Baker at his current salary is a bargain.
And maybe Baker was more injured than I remembered. 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?

Baker's a notch above game manager talent-wise.
He played through a significant shoulder injury that last year in Cleveland, and they hung him for it. He's no Mahomes, but nobody is. He's playing well in Tampa-I think he just needed a stable organization and a coaching staff that believed in him. I thought for sure that his path was going to be the Jim Plunkett path, and that he'd end up in Vegas and win one in a KC off-year. Tampa probably keeps him, though. And they should. |
