Him having more time than any QB in the last 5 years isn’t saying much. Our OL went from an F to a D-. Baker was running all over the place.

Some of that is on Baker... Him getting happy feet isn't the Oline fault.. Him moving into sacks isn't the Oline fault.. Him not being able to see over the Oline and getting balls batted down isn't the Oline lines fault..

Yes!! You obviously didn't watch this game.. Baker had more time then any Panthers QB had the last 5 years.. The Oline is better.  Playcalling and coaching isn't..

 

People are so used to complaining, they complain about things that are not worth complaining about. This line has played better than any line in recent memory. They are playing better than the QB.

It's why normally you start Tackles out at RT. 

That theory has actually stopped over the last few years. Modern NFL has made the RT position just as valuable as the LT. it used to be that teams would line up their best pass rusher on the weak side of the line and the strong side of the line would have a TE supporting the RT.

now with modern offenses, you have a balanced line and defenses use exotic pressures and athleticism on the sides of the line.  We are no longer in a league where the LT is tremendously more valuable than RT. It’s marginal now.

He is a rookie that came out strong in the run blocking and raw in pass protect. None of this is a surprise. Pass protect can be learned and improved especially outside of school and their limited practices. All of this was projected when he was coming out so why is anyone surprised?

Moton had a whiffed block like Ickey did where the defender ran to their insides. I am more worried about what the hell is going on with him as a vet vs the rookie doing completely expected rookie things.
