Icecube Posted September 26, 2019 Report Share Posted September 26, 2019 When the media asked Conner about the Steelers poor start, JC said, "I'm done talking. We need less words and more actions." So, Baker got into another war of words, this time with Rex Ryan (Rex said Baker was "overrated as hell" and BM countered saying it's no wonder Rex isn't coaching anywhere). Should Baker perhaps shut his mouth? Do you think his cockiness is only making teams extra motivated to put hits on him and/or be extra ampled to beat the Browns? Some Ravens have come out saying all the Browns hype has made them extra motivated to beat on them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No....Baker needs to be Baker and Baker does not shut his mouth. He needs that chip on his shoulder. What he needs is a better offensive scheme to operate in, and better O linemen in front of him. 2 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought his passion and confidence were genuine and a breath of fresh air. I don't mind "cocky" when it is deserved. I actually get a kick out of it. But I feel Baker should take a step back from it for a while, wait until they win some, at least. I'd love him to respond with "words are shallow, it's time for actions to speak" kind of thing.

Probably. To some degree. With some players. It is what it is. They're going to keep putting a microphone in front of him and asking leading questions....so....he's going to keep answering I guess.

Zombo Posted September 26, 2019 Report Share Posted September 26, 2019 Conners is a pussy. Let Baker be Baker. He does not back down from reporters questions or give safe generic answers. I watched both of our losses, and I can assure you they had nothing to do with anything he said to the media. Z 1 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ibleedbrown Posted September 27, 2019 Report Share Posted September 27, 2019 I gotta admit that l’d like to see Baker take the high road from time to time and simply ignore some bullshit. That’s all this kind of stuff is to me. Shit that gets said on Twitter bores the hell outta me and has nothing to do with my enjoyment of football. All he’s doing is setting himself up on a tee for the next talking head who wants to take a shot at him, and because he allows himself to be baited into this bullshit, it makes him a soft target, and the bullshit never ends. So this means joe fan like myself has to deal with and read about the barrage of extra bullshit that inevitably gets generated from the original bullshit of he said she said, and it’s fucking dumb. I really like Baker’s moxy, and of course l want him to crack the ceiling with success, but l desperately would like to see this kinda stuff take a back seat. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orion Posted September 27, 2019 Report Share Posted September 27, 2019 Rex Ryan says, Baker's as overated as hell. And Baker says, Freddie says, if you don't wear brown and orange then you don't matter. And he's not wearing any colors for a reason. .......not for nothin' though, you gotta love that comeback. lol Yeah, we want him to be quiet.......but that was a good one. ------- In reality, Rex should've said, He's having trouble living up to the hype right now.....or most anything other than what he said. It's just not nice. Rex can say that to his friends at the card table....but not into a microphone. It's not cool. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's wht Baker should have just not even responded. But if it fuels him, then go for it. Baker might just win Monday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well after three games Baker is in a sophomore slump. And he is going to get pot shots taken at him- until he starts playing like the runner up OROTY level he was at last year. Goes with the territory. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was quality shade Baker threw in Sexy Rexy direction. Plus I agree with the "Baker's got to be Baker" crowd. It's who he is. While it "wears" better in victory and glory than it does defeat and despair... it is who he is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tour2ma Posted September 27, 2019 Report Share Posted September 27, 2019 Interesting quarter-by-quarter breakdown of Baker's performance... Quote If NFL games were half as long, we might not be talking about Baker Mayfield’s disappointing second season quite so much. Mayfield has an 86.0 PFF grade in the first quarters of games so far this season, best among qualified quarterbacks. That drops to a still-good 80.9 in second quarters, 69.1 in third quarters and 40.0 in fourth quarters that is the fourth-worst at the position. Of course we've largely been playing from behind late so Ds have been ignoring the run... especially in the Titan game in which we were well behind early which heavily influences this three-game sample. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's all it will take to shut up the background chatter. And shockingly, on the drive up to Cleveland Baker hatah #1 Colin you know who was almost nice, saying this mess isn't all His fault. FWIW, Bucky Brooks chimed in on the show saying the Browns have gotten away from the offensive scheme that they were using with a lot of success last season. Is Freddie outsmarting himself?

flyingfooldoug Posted September 28, 2019 Report Share Posted September 28, 2019 Just media hype BS for ratings. Baker said nothing wrong by repeating what his HC says. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
