He was sacked 4 times, had a center then couldn’t snap the damn ball, a run defense that couldn’t get him the ball back and a HC who prevented him from attempting a game winning TD when he had the offense in rhythm. All of these things and he still gave them the lead with just over a minute left. To top it off he had no chance to try to capture the lead again after they got that final FG.

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. 

I agree with you a lot, but got to disagree with this.  Baker settled down after the first int and played a magnificent game, even with getting knocked on his a$$ for much of the third qtr.  For the entire second half, he completed 75% of his passes and threw for 150 yards, and got 17 points.  I don't know if he is the future, but at least for today, he played a great second half.

I already see we are going to have posters that originally were down on Baker stay down on him when he plays well. I know we will have the opposite as well. I feel most rational people think he did his part today and willed them into a position to win the game (only to be let down by his coach and defense).

It's nothing I didn't say before he was signed. Furthermore, I don't think it's too critical. Mayfield has a body of work that didn't begin today. Heart and fire is only going to take you so far. Franchise QBs have that and then some.

This is Baker's 4th system in 5 years. What his body of work shows is that he rallies his team and is a good leader on the field. He took Cleveland and made them a playoff team. He is going to do the same thing for us if not this year then next. But your boy Corral needs to keep learning to eventually take over. But intangibles like fire and heart is what takes an athletic qb and makes them a franchise qb. You need to stop trying to criticize Baker as if it has any Impact on what happens to Corral.

It only looked good because of his play in the 1st half. He started looking better but I would not call it great. Good enough to win if he hadn't played like ass in the first half.  But the loss is not all on him. It was a team effort.

      We looked like a competent NFL team PIE thread

      By Prowler2k18 · Posted

      We could easily pick apart yesterday’s game: dropped passes, blown coverages, bad tackling and red zone issues to name a few. But it was clear that this wasn’t the same team from earlier in the season. They fought back and hung with the champs until the end. That’s what I was excited to see and it gives me hope that we’re on the right track.

      Bryce developing before our eyes

      By Pejorative Miscreant · Posted

      I think BY played well today and exceeded expectations. I will temper future expectations as he has to string together many games of consistent quality. One game doesn’t convince me that he is a franchise QB or even a guy you want to stick with for another season. One game doesn’t erase all the negative play and limitations from the past couple of years. I hope he balls out and continues to get better but for me the verdict is still out   That said, I think he gave the team and fans hope yesterday which is a lot more than what we had when we woke up Sunday morning.

      Bryce Young - Good and Bad, what say you?

      By Ricky Prickles · Posted

      He was vastly improved today and we need to see more of Bryce the rest of the season to continue evaluate him in order to decide what the heck to do with him at the end of the season. He must play at least like this and improve more from here the rest of the season in order for me to keep him. No more 123 yard passing games and want to see at least this output weekly from him. If this is Bruce improving slowly over time then Canales is even better with developing QB's than I thought he was but still too early to tell and we need to see him the rest of the way as he has at very least earned back the starting gig moving forward.
