is OBJ "the" problem no. Because there isnt a "the" problem, instead he is one of many issues this team has.

Regardless, I have an issue with the three boneheaded plays by OBJ. The critical dropped pass, the facemask, and the failure to reestablish himself in bounds. There is no way a starting WR -- mush less an alleged star/superstar -- should have that many bad plays in a single game. QB's are not always going to be perfectly on target, and they're not always going to make the right reads. But when they do, WR's have to make those plays. "Talent" doesn't matter if the execution is that poor.
And I know Baker didn't play well. But he's playing a position that's the hardest in the league to learn, he's had the whole 4 different coaches and 3 different coordinators in 3 years thing, plus the reworked footwork in a Covid-shortened offseason. Being a QB is complicated.
I just don't see any equivalent potential excuse for OBJ's errors. Those are all simply matters of pure execution, and he's more than experienced enough for them to have been routine plays to do correctly.
im not a cap expert but i imagine it would be an absolutely massive cap hit to trade him. Coupled with the fact that he has now grossly under performed the last 17 games the trying to trade him for anythign more than a 7th rounder would be impossible

Can somebody gif that throw Baker sailed to the sidelines intended for Hodge when he was wide open? It was so weird that I initially thought it was a throw away but it was not.
Dude's clueless. When he's bouncing from team to team and eventually out of the league we'll have to read his IG posts about how he was done wrong.
It 100% would have worked if blocked correctly. I didnt hate the call. I hated the execution & location of the call.
Another late throw forced to OBJ that should've been picked
