If he has a halfway serviceable game against Florida watch the insane hype ramp right the fuck back up. The media craves the Manning hype.

As many of us said when he was coming out of high school: a 3* talent with a 5* last name. tejas fucked around and has entered the finding out stage.

I love how they think that if Arch was at least halfway decent they win. Do these fools think that there was no plan to take the training wheels off Sayin had they given us a competitive game.

Redford starred in the film Brubaker, which was shot in the now demolished Junction City Prison nearby Columbus, Ohio. I was with Glicks Furniture Rental back then and handled the temporary relocation of Redford, Yaphet Kotto , and other stars. Redford lived in a rented house in Reynoldsburg, Ohio during the months of April to July, 1979. He jogged almost every day but nobody ever identified him as Robert Redford. The film had its world premier at the Ohio Theater.

Best defense against the run is a 14+ point lead.

It isnt 1985 anymore. Score, then score more.

Stay the fuck out of rock fights with no talent teams.

Yes. I can’t agree more.

That’s why that last Saturday in November we need to force them to abandon the run. You do that by getting up 2-3 scores

I'll disagree. They won a playoff game with him and made a tight game with the Chiefs after that. Maybe not 100% as good as he's been in Tampa, but still well above 50%.

Of course this all well overlooks the poor physical and mental shape Baker showed up to camp just the year previous. Only to go bombs away on picks, bail from clean pockets at the highest rate in the NFL and get his ass kicked all year.

2019 and the coaching staff forced him to get into proper mental and physical conditioning because he was too immature to do it without those motivations.

2021 comes around and Baker makes some questionable decisions that lead to him getting hurt. Then, after the shoulder injury, proceeds to show that undisciplined and immature mindset from 2019 by not treating his rehab seriously (rumor) not being studious in the film room (rumor) and continues to make careless decisions with the ball. Magnified by the 4 turnover game against Green Bay, where he was also rumored to have spent hours and hours into the early morning playing Call of Duty or some other shit like that.


I will always maintain this throw is what ended Bakers tenure in CLE.

I broke this down 4 years ago and remember it vividly. It's a Yankee concept against cover 1. A read of the high safety. If the post is doubled, like it was, you take the over as your 2nd read then to the flat leak as your 3rd.

Baker spun this either blind or going full Rex Grossman and saying "fuck it, bombs away". But there isn't a single context where it's a good decision and this throw should have been made.

Because all the rumors really looked like they had some truth to them after you see shit like this.

Inexcusable. People have short memories. Just like George Bush's Presidency, fans are digging up corpses to posthumously glorify them when they have no business doing that.

Bakers greatness was SO immediate when he was excommunicated from CLE that teams desperate for QB play in Carolina and L.A. even said "no, thanks" after long looks at him.

Why? Because (at the time) he wasn't good enough to elevate the talent around him without being a turnover machine. Dude lands in Tampa with a top 10 OL, some serious weapons and develops a newfound maturity thanks to his travels and family-man status.



NFL means Not For Long. The Browns had a time sensitive decision to make January of 2022. Give Baker a stack of cash or move on. Given the body of work, I didn't blame them for moving on.

I do blame them for the kings ransom that was Watson though. That is absolutely unforgivable.

But to those of you cursing Berry and Stefanski for Baker... grow up (Not necessarily saying you, Zurp. Just quoting your post). Maybe actually clearly remember the past as opposed to skewing the reality of what really happened.

Whoever decided to put plastic wrappers on straws. The fucking straw wrapper is now stronger than the straw. Remember when we'd put the straw in our fist and slam it on the table? Then the straw would rip the top of the wrapper and there you go. Good luck doing that with a plastic straw wrapper. You know what is more likely to happen? You bend the straw, and the straw gets a hole in it. And guess how good a straw with a hole in it is? Meh - it still works, but not well.

If you get B10 channel, they will publish tOSU game in 60 minutes. Better announcers certainly than Peacock, only get the distilled version of the plays, man, simply the plays.

And so much for Disclosure Laws.....guess one's gotta get familiar with what's what, so one can 'pin the butterfly to the wall', and ask the questions that won't be volunteered, but will bite you in the a** later if you don't know enough to ask. Always ask, 'what question should I be asking, but don't know enough to ask'. Not certain removes culpability, but trying....

The decision to chase DeShaun Watson was monumentally stupid but to think Baker would’ve been half as good as he’s been in Tampa, while playing in CLE isn’t realistic IMO.

Tulane is going to beat Ole Miss.

I'll take them for 11.5 points please

My post wasn't specifically directed toward or in response to yours and yours was admittedly tempered relative to others' MoC comparisons I've seen since last weekend. However, in reply I don't think we can extrapolate MoC yardage and TD numbers just by adding carries against a better level of competition. Maybe against Grambling and OU, sure, but would BJ2 perform at that level against TT and WSU? Obviously, that's hypothetical, but we'll know soon enough in the conference schedule. I hope he does, but I'd also like to see 15 carries with at least CJD still getting decent reps.
