Out of 48 QBs since 2018
TD% (23rd)
INT% (12th highest, meaning a lot of picks)
Expected Points Added Per Play (26th)
Success Rate (31st)
Yards Per Attempt (20th)
Baker might be looked on more favorably because he has a fun personality, whether you like him or hate him. However, his play is pretty mediocre. He is what he is at this point, I think, and Cleveland has a dilemma like Cincinnati did in the mid-2010's. Baker is fine, but he's not good enough to really elevate the team. Do you move on from him, or try to stick it out? With Cleveland being a run heavy team, I think they will stick it out but they probably shouldn't. If they want to have playoff success, they will need to upgrade.
He had a solid 3rd season and a playoff win in his 3rd year.. he is playing hurt no doubt if you watched the game.. we talk about Burrow being a gunslinger so is Baker.. he has a great running game but not the talent at Wr like Joe has with the Bengals... He 2-0 in the games with Joe, we can't let him go 3-0 especially playing hurt... i don;t think he will make it through the whole game.
