Rex critical of Baker

[top dawg]

I mean, Rex isn't wrong. 

I'm going to be honest: I thought Baker would be better. I expected him to be at least a competent game manager, but he looks lost out there. All of the criticisms of Mayfield like his spotty accuracy (particularly on those midrange second level passes), and his inability to read the entire field (as was basically suggested by Kurt Warner when he said Baker is best when he only has to read half the field), have been on full display. Add in his timing issues, failure to step into the pocket, what I'll call inefficient mobility, and his lackluster athleticism, and I just don't see him being anyone's answer at starting QB. And, honestly, he hasn't shown to be worth the conditional draft pick that we'd have to give up if he reaches whatever threshold of snaps he has to meet. He's playing uninspired football, and I don't even know if he has the ability to put a team on his back (he surely hasn't shown it against what in reality are suspect teams, and I doubt that he will against top tier teams). He's been horrible to be honest. No swag whatsoever. He just looks bewildered. I really wouldn't have believed that he'd be this bad if you'd have asked me a month ago. He isn't our answer.

I think regardless of whether this team wins 2 games or 10 games, they have got to take a chance at the QB position in the draft, the trade market has not worked.

Also, as others have pointed out, when the pressure is coming at him he gets happy feet. Like worse than Darnold, and he seems to panic. I thought he'd be better than what he has shown.

It's no secret. Baker will never be able to shoulder a franchise.  The truth shall set us all free. 

[frankw]

Yeah he's stunk up the joint no doubt about it and after running his mouth and selling t-shirts. He's earned the criticism.

[L-TownCat]

Rex Ryan likes feet and Geno Smith.

He actually tried to claim he knew Smith was good all along and just needed the last 10 years to put it together.

[rayzor]

I didn't expect him to be all pro, but I did expect him to be competent. He ain't that.

I thought we were getting him at a discount. Turns out we may have overpaid. 

I'm starting to understand why Browns went as hardcore for a sexual predator who was going to be missing most of the season. Baker is bad.

[WOW!!]

No not worse then Darnold..

Rex has always been critical of Baker and probably for good reason 

[countryboi]

I mean he ain’t telling any lies, Baker has to play better 

[davos]

When he gets momentum and in a rhythm, he's an above average QB, but he'll either start off or have entire games where he just has no accuracy or feel. And there's just so many easy 5-10 yarders missed.  Those yards are critical. 

Baker is just REALLY streaky and codependent.  Have not been a fan.    

[The Lobo]

He’s kinda right and if it wasn’t for Shenault breaking those pitiful tackles, his stats would be a two pack of ass.

[Wolfcop]

I certainly thought he would play better. If he had, we have a good chance to be 3-0.

People forget how bad Darnold was. Baker is sucking, but at least he isn’t throwing picks while sucking.
