His rookie year, playing for the worst team in the league that just drafted him number 1 overall he put up better numbers than Sam ever has. 3700 yards 27 TDs 14 INTs. He is not a super star, but way better than Sam. 

Its kind of funny that the same people who have been calling for us to tank want Baker.

I'm not die hard Baker and really only want him if he comes cheap.  He is just a much better QB than Darnold which isn't saying much.  I'd prefer a trade down and draft one honestly.  Baker makes sense if the Browns eat most of his salary and we don't give away any higher round picks.  Start him over Sam and let him play out this year draft a LT at 6.  If he struggles we look at next year's draft for our guy.  Low risk move that should be an instant upgrade over Sam plus give us a solid OL.
