I bet KS would have worked well with Baker. Browns would probably take a 5th at this point. Essentially free.. just have to agree on an extension.. and coming off his last year, a down season.. the extension would be reasonably priced.
Baker would give us less than Jimmy does, especially with his abysmal leadership. It wouldn't be an upgrade and we would be exactly where we have been… just not good enough to win the big one.
I've said it a million times that I think highly of JG but I also love the fact that our organization took a swing for the fences with trying to get a top QB in this league
He's better than JG. Can stay on the field, younger, higher rated prospect, etc.
Don't get me wrong I like TL and get the rational.. just wonder if the rational would have changed had the org known they could have Matt Ryan for a 3rd.. Baker for even less..
QBs got pretty cheap this offseason, not all of them, but quite a few are going dirt cheap.. good QBs..
