Baker made it through possibly the most dysfunctional first two years a qb could possibly have in terms of staff overhaul and then the worst coach in nfl history.

I don't know if he's ever a top 5 elite type qb but in this system he doesn't have to be
Complete dysfunction. Freddie as you mention and while I think Hue could help a QB he had Haley sabotaging the offense to get Hue out.

Dak got paid (eventually). Patty got paid, as expected. Allen got paid. Baker and Lamar will get paid. Looking at Allen's deal it isn't as great as people think though (at least until the full details come out)....

It’s essentially a 3 year 100m deal.

The Bills have an out in 2025.

2026 - 2027, which count for $81m of the deal are essentially fake years. The deal is perfect for a restructure at the end of the contract and I expect Baker to be similar. I'm sure he isn't complaining but Mahomes is light years better (for obvious reasons). Haven't looked at Dak's contract.
Not to mention cap will go up again next year and maybe explode 1-2 years after that.

I mean, another opinion based as fact? Shocked, I tell you.

Maybe at least see what Baker does in his first season with same coach/system first? No excuses this year.....not that he made them last year even with good reason.
You can wait as long as you like, Mayfield is not Allen.

Yeah, we will see.

Allen is a superstar.

Baker is just not there and probably won’t ever be.

If he has another really good season what are you thinking he will get? Should get?

What he should get is irrelevant.

If he repeats 2020, I think he probably gets a little more than what Allen got.

@trojanfan12 have you tried Popcorners? They are really good and healthier than tater chips.....

1-White cheddar is the best
2-Sea salt
3-Kettle corn

Did you know White Cheddah was my stage name during my short-lived rap career in the early 90's?

Yeah. I don’t understand how some one can look at it any other way. Allen has turned himself into an MVP candidate. In this head to head comparison, I’d also point out that Cleveland has the better overall roster as well around Mayfield. Mayfield could complement one of the best running games in the league. Buffalo had no running game to speak of outside of Allen scrambles.

Imagine if the Bills had 1 of the browns back?

I mean…do we have to say it? I don’t really want to insult anybody but all this Cleveland stuff on this board tells a distinct age old story in sports. Some people drawn to sports are students of the game and can talk ball with integrity in their opinion. And other people are just rah rah Fan Bois. It is what it is.

thats rich coming from a fan of a fanbase who booed santa claus and is notoriously ill tempered and illogical.

Was it on Jim Rome that they said the inside of the Philly Phanatic's costume smells like sweat, jaeger and broken dreams?

ehhh.... Hunt is good but hes not nearly on the same level as Chubb.

That and Buffalo's o-line isnt nearly as good as Clevelands.

both backs compliment eachother- and keep eachother well rested- its why Chubb was able to average OVER 10 yards a carry in the 4th qtr. Think of that- OVER 10 yards a carry in the 4th qtr of games. Talk about a closer.
