We all agree Baker is playing like shit, but this is after he absolutely destroyed teams last year.
First and foremost, I'm still a staunch believer in Mayfield going forward
But I think this is really hyperbolic to say we destroyed teams
Look at the teams that we beat last year in the 2nd half of the season: The Bengals, twice, with the worst defense in football and their backup QB. The Panthers towards the end of their 7 game, spiraling, losing streak. The Falcons, where Mayfield was good but Chubb was fantastic. The Broncos, wHere the offense somewhat stalled after their opening drive. The Browns lost the games vs. good teams- as expected, they were young and outmatched- and Baker had his struggles in those games.
I think those games along with having a good QB play for the first time ever clouded people's judgement that this is still a young team that needs work. And then factor in a rookie HC...
