Funny you would say that about the Ohio State QB, Baker has had 4 head coaches in 3 years.
But Baker is a dick.
No, but seriously, Baker is short, doesn't have a cannon arm, has done more towards creating controversy than winning, and has shown up grossly out of shape. He needs to be out there working harder than everyone else. You think Drew Brees became awesome by sitting around eating Cheetos?
When the Browns were on Hard Knocks his first season I legit thought he was "the guy". The way he carried himself, how he immediately came in and tried to acclimate himself to his team, and then how he performed, but it was fool's gold. He lets everything get to him, like Cowherd and the OBJ relationship, and that's bad news for a QB. A QB needs to be like Rodgers who takes your slight and snaps 5 TDs off in your ass. (The Packers should draft a QB in the first round every year if it makes Rodgers keep playing awesome.)
Side note: The more I think about it, the more I think that trailer for QBs was a bad idea. At first I loved it, but I realized it alienated them from the rest of the team. That doesn't help build team chemistry and a true leader wouldn't put himself in comfort while his men didn't have the same.
Anyway, all the different coaches and systems certainly don't help, but his own actions make it worse.
I think if Baker got his head on straight and tuned out the distractions, he could easily be a Phillip Rivers type.
And, being 100% honest, I actually enjoy Baker's commercials!
