Well, that's somewhat true, but he got here by being brash, outspoken, and being deadly accurate with the effing ball. Don't get me wrong, I loved hearing what he said, but Baker missing high all year has nothing to do with his attention to social media. He needs to get his freaking stance corrected AND he needs a proper tight end. and a play in the huddle before 15 seconds are left, because he needs to tell OBJ where to line up 50% of the time. You don't set an NFL touchdown record by accident, so Baker can definitely play. Lots went wrong last year, and we probably should have known what to expect after week 1. I remember thinking, "Oh shit." Oh shit indeed, as Baker would go on to miss people in the end zone, lock onto targets preemptively, and generally be a football butthole of the highest order. What I don't know is how much of this disaster was our coach's fault. We were a shit show, even in most victories, and I want to believe a fresh start will greatly help our enigmatic QB. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I thought this was an interesting observation. I don’t think it was determination or intensity that l was looking for in this interview setting, but Baker came off as ordinary and kinda boring in that first interview, like many athletes do. Saying what was expected of him and repeating himself. He really does have some panache but didn’t show it there. That’s why he gets speaking roles in commercials and Mahomes does not. I’m not looking for that fire to go away, or whatever it is that makes Baker the cocky mofo that he is. I just want it to evolve. Take that instance the last game where a Cincy fan was razzing him, and his response was “why don’t you tell me that to my face”? Yawn. There’s about a hundred things he coulda said that are wittier and more fun. “At least l don’t have to eat Skyline after the game.” Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
