Nailed it.
I'll be the first to admit, I didn't want Baker when we drafted him. But will be the first to also admit. I fell in love with him when I watched him play.
I like Baker. I'm still with him. But, I'm extremely frustrated and disappointed he didn't take the challenge serious enough to raise his game. I'm mad at him.
I'm mad because I know he has talent, and isn't taking it seriously enough.
I mean look at the QB in NE. Whether people like the guy, or not. He's won 6 rings. Is still playing 42, and still puts everything and then some to be the best he can, and win again. When he has nothing left to prove, but it still means that much to him.
I guess I wish Baker would take a page out of that book. Not settle for his clippings and media praise, and just sit on what happen last year. And actually take what he did last year, grow, and be better.
How can anyone not be disappointed in him? I still like the guy, and of course he's not being put in the greatest situation.
But he didn't take the off season serious enough to improve his game. I got a problem with that kind of mindset.
