I don't know who needs to hear this but...
• Baker has a higher QBR in 2020 than Tom Brady, Big Ben, Cam Newton, Goff, Rivers, Burrow, Cousins, etc.
• Baker is on his 4th HC, 4th OC, 3rd QB Coach, and 3rd playbook in < 3 years
•
#Browns
are 4-2 for the first time in 26 years
@hey_itsmandi
Nah, the toxic Browns fans don't care about things like facts, causational factors, and the benefits of a good coaching staff with consistency over several years... It feels so much better to just scream "BAKER SUCKS!!!" while throwing a temper tantrum.
@Rob_Shenanigans
Fantasy football has ruined the way people view their teams. People want Baker to throw for 5,000 yards, Chubb and Hunt to both rush for 1,000+ and OBJ and Landry both 1,000+ yards. Let's keep our expectations based in reality. Browns are 4-2 and "on to Cincinnati".
@Rob_Shenanigans
Yeah, he should have amazing numbers with the offense that's built around him.
What's his QBR when he is playing teams above 500?
I worry that there hasn't been much progress made he's still 1 reading and confused by pre-snap to post snap defense moves.
@nathINSANE
Against IND it was 83.5, which would be the 4th highest in the NFL.
The only other 2 teams over .500 are BAL & PIT, who have the 1st & 3rd ranked defenses in the NFL. One might conclude that this is not a fair sample size or sample selection to draw conclusions about Baker.
@Rob_Shenanigans
Blah blah blah. We were never 4-1 bc of him. Browns play the worst teams in the league this year. I swear y’all put that lipstick on the 🐷
@SpringTrails216
Blah blah blah, they beat the 3-2 Colts one week after the Colts beat the 1-loss Bears, and they also hung 49 points against the Cowboys @ Dallas before Prescott got hurt... But whatevs, facts are overrated. Keep fuckin that pig!
@moshpitmagic
Yup. Unlike the Baker haterz, I'm sure Berry & Stefanski are thinking:
'Let's see how he develops under this new staff w/ a new offense, and then wait until AFTER the season is over before we start making sweeping decisions about his future with the team.'
aka rational thinking
@Rob_Shenanigans
He’s regressed since his rookie season. Good teams know how to defend him and he doesn’t have a counter for that yet. There are other stats like DVOA that show him ranked 25th. You can’t look at his play this season & feel good. It’s okay to feel concerned.
@Rob_Shenanigans
So, fair to say we are at the baseline, ground zero and we should see higher highs and higher lows from here. I want improved pocket passing, decision making, and deep reads. Let's also remember (as you hint), Stefanski is also on a trajectory and needs to improve. Not ALL Baker.
@Rob_Shenanigans
That's cool, but can he read a defense? I don't see great decision making on his part, not to mention it appears he has gotten back to holding the ball too long again. I see some opportunities for improvement. Our lines lost on both sides this Sunday, but Baker owns this L too.
@Rob_Shenanigans
And people want to start over! It’s crazy, I am fed up with the browns fans/media putting this team down at 4-2!!!!! Like 26 damn fucking years and we still act like we are 0-16!!!
