baker is a franchise quarterback

If the 2nd half is an indication of getting into the groove of things the season may have some meaningful football played in November for the first time in 5 years. 

Need to get Elflein out of there. The inability to snap the damn ball is something I would expect him to do at the very least if he can't block worth poo. 

[Shocker]

Offense needs some time but positive signs today.

Baker is the least of our worries, now this run defense

[Khyber53]

Yeah, he's a QB for sure. 

We need a DT. Or four.

Let's see what he does against the Giants.

If he starts the same way he finished in this game, I can buy that he will at least make this team worth sitting through Matt Rhule's dumbass coaching.

If only they had 2 or 3 games before the season started to work together....

He is a better QB than Sam. He is also a run first and often QB. In that capacity he can be effective. Force it and he will be awful. It's really simple with a 4 year sample on where he thrives. 

[Jon Snow]

Did we just not watch the same game?  Baker is what he is, a mediocre qb who's too short to see the field.  Learn to live with it.

Well considering that Sam got decapitated when he tried running, I would rather Baker throw the ball but that's just me.  lol

[glenwo2]

Baker is a better passer than Sam.

(that's not a high bar at all)

He should be throwing the ball and not trying to run it like Cam.

Imagine if they helped Ickey all day. The 1st half gameplay may have been the worst I have seen in my 50+ years.

The entire NFL plays like ass for the first cpl of weeks, so it was nice to see him settling in.

Very worried about playcalling and protection tho

I know freaking Chicago beat the 49ers. There’s no way that Chicago is as good as a team as they seemed today.

It’s just the first week and it’s not indicative of the entire season.

Baker is going to be a good quarterback for this team or at least an average one which is much better than what the Panthers had since 2016.

Baker looked perfectly good after that horrendous first quarter. What game were you people watching? I expect the beginning of this game to be the worst he looks all season m. Personally I’m proud of how he, and the offense battled and got us in position to win the game. Not Bakers fault the D sucks and the refs wanted the Browns to win.
