There's not a lot worse than Tulsa sports radio. I didn't know it was possible to talk 24/7 year round about Sooners football. But they somehow do it. "Do you think they're gonna recruit that 4 star guard from Bristow high school?"

Derek Carr is getting $37 million/yr, and Baker outplayed him last year.

Dak is getting $40 mill

Deshaun Watson is getting $46 mill/yr, and Baker has been outplaying him for a while now.

Kyler is getting $46 million/yr, and Baker has always been a better QB than Kyler.

Russell Wilson.

And Tua is supposedly going to get $50 million/yr, and Baker is a far better QB.
I really wish I was a mediocre qb.

The thing about Baker is that he will absolutely implode at the worst possible time. The talent at OU covered up a lot of deficiencies in Baker's game.

The guy was a tool in high school, a tool in college and showing that same tendency in the NFL.
His gung ho attitude will piss his teammates off by year 2 of the contract and the implosion will begin.

He's about to turn 29, there's a chance he isn't the exact same douche he was 5-10 years ago

Getting your progressive commercials pulled can humble a guy

I'm rooting for him to get that commercial bit put back in place. Those were pretty good.

What crazy is that 30M a season is now considered getting a deal.

I don't blame Baker or the Team for this deal, I think it makes sense for both. I think a lot of fans say, "I'd pay him 20M but not 30." But why would Baker do that, when, as pointed out earlier, he's outplayed some of those 40M guys.

The market is what the market is. We are lucky to have found Mahomes when we did. Because this is nuts. Can you imagine paying Alex 30 a year back in the day?

Huh? Why? You sent a load to the moon over Alex Smith?

Probably because the GM and HC usually want to keep their jobs?

Watson is a fraud. And a serial sexual assaulter. I know life-long Browns fans that walked away on that one.

Stupid, stupid franchise.


Baker was being a bit of a douche off the field in 2021, that much is true. And then his play after getting injured didn't help. However, Baker never gave up on the team or his teammates, and he never got any credit from the team for gutting it out with all the injuries.

But yeah, CLE might be the worst run franchise in my lifetime.

And I know several CLE fans that were so disgusted by Watson that they quit being Browns fans even before that season started.

Playoff berths keep HC’s and GM’s employed. Carl Peterson made a career out of it. Any would take a franchise guy but not everybody will give up a bird in the hand for the risk that comes along with it if you end up drafting Daniel Jones or Justin Fields.

Haha, no, absolutely not. I was leading the train for Mahomes remember. I like Baker more than I do Alex though and if not for one incredible play by Sorensen in the 2020 playoffs he'd be one of the QBs to beat Mahomes.

100%. Baker gave CLE a legit shot at sending Mahomes to the offseason early. Not a lot of QBs can say the same.

Baker is a total jag in every way.

Red Dawg 03-11-2024 07:01 PM
Miraculous 9-8 with weapons in the easiest division in football. Well done.
