Give him a 5 year extension he is our qb!!!!

[@carmilmilk72]

Pick up his 5th year option. That’s what they need to do first and then pay him a 5 year 120 million dollar deal.

[@BennVai]

@@carmilmilk72 exactly. If he wins a SB in his rookie contract, I'd look at a contract like Mahomes got in Kansas. Great thing about Baker is he's durable. Doesn't miss games.

[@bannedfromytfornoreason]

@@carmilmilk72 I was thinking like a 90 or 100 million dollar extension because his a 5th year option will be about 20 mil and he might take less money to keep some players like Higgins.

[@Disembow1280]

@Blair Tomlin I agree, as long as he doesn't end up like Carson Wentz

[@bannedfromytfornoreason]

@@Disembow1280 The thing about Wentz is that they put no talent around him he has no Wrs or Oline and play calling was bad a lot of it was on Wentz but he really didn't have help causing him to regress badly.

Browns have a legit offensive line. Baker is making most of that blessing.

No matter what the pundits say, stay humble and keep grinding Brownies! The moment you start "believing your own hype," you'll fall. "Losing? Never heard of her!" And what do you know, Steelers lost!

[@timphillips3971]

I liked the question and answer.. its Christmas lighten up

[@joemajor1156]

Christmas has nothing to do with her content. She always asks questions that are subjective., It maybe impossible for her to ask anything but "Sensitive" questions. She gets paid money 💰 to ask questions that bring out football content. Not subjective "feelings". More X's and O's questions for people to grasp the coach's approach, or how Chubb looks to see his running lanes, or how Baker sees his progressions in reading the defenses. "Sensitive" is so far removed from real football.

[@MeneerHerculePoirot]

Just the way he speaks shows maturity and growth. He seems at peace. Attitude, but without the chip on his shoulder. Exuberance tempered with discipline. He's doing his homework. Gym, video, etc. Yeah, you can see it it all coming together. One can see Nick Chubb's influence, too. Not only on the field, but off it, too. In fact Chubb's effect can be seen on the whole team. Baker's blessed to have Nick on the team.

[@jake08311]

Besides the homework, gym, etc. the bottom line difference is the chemistry of this team. Is it definable? My own opinion is that it starts with Kevin Stefanski and has imbued the entire team and Baker's leadership is the glue that keeps this team together. You just know from EVERYTHING over the past three years, Baker is a team first, stats be damned QB. If the Browns undervalue his contributions to this team I swear for the first time in forever I will find another team to support.

For me, division is unimportant. The playoffs and superbowl run is. And if we get there, winning it is my goal. Not coming up short.

[@quentin6233]

It should be important especially this year because if the teams we need to lose dont lose there is a scenario where we can be 11 - 5 and miss the playoffs
