But we have seen several examples of these throws and inabilities from 2018-2020 when the shoulder was not an issue.
What I’m more concerned with than anything in that regard is those plays were happening with a pretty healthy and talented roster.
All QB’s need that at their disposal, but someone who is limited with physical gifts and is not an overall good decision maker needs that more than most…
So unless Baker has elite talent all around him I’m not sure just how effective he’s going to be… couple that with paying the man and him eating a majority of the cap moving forward and it becomes an issue… He can navigate the talent around him perhaps to success — he’s not gonna be able to make the team a success on his play and if you can’t pay top tier players to put around him — well you’re sitting there with a high paid QB who isn’t good enough…
Tough spot…
I know we don't agree on much with Baker but I actually agree with this.
Now, I don't think he needs Pro Bowlers in every spot. But he's not talented enough to overcome an average to mediocre group of pass-catchers.
Part of why Garoppolo is in the spot he's in is because instead of WR2/3 quality guys like Landry/DPJ/Hooper he's throwing to Samuel/Aiyuk/Kittle. That's a huge difference.
Priority #1 this offseason needs to be addressing this. Grab a WR with your 1st and sign a quality FA.
