People gotta realize that Baker has had a different OC almost every year throughout his NFL career. Just another reason why it’s so imperative for the Bucs to keep Coen. I believe Baker has the ability to take his game up to the next level and be that elite player, but he needs some actual consistency with the offense and the scheme in order to get there.

[@larryweatherford5117]

What do you mean almost? Baker has NEVER had the same OC two years in a row!😢

[@fairwarning007]

@ Alex Van Pelt (Browns’ OC) worked with Baker for two seasons (2020-2021)

[@larryweatherford5117]

@ Baker has never had the same play caller two years straight

[@patrickigbeka1234]

He has but in 2021 baker got injured and tore his labrum

[@gameon2081]

I don't care if Liam Coen doesn't have HC experience, the tape doesn't lie and the way he was able to move the ball even without ME and CG it was impressive. Todd Bowles end the season with 10 wins thanks to Liam Coen otherwise we don't win more than 6 games. BTW, Todd Bowles impaired the bucs from possibly winning games in my opinion and one that comes to my mind against the Chiefs, why cause he trust more his 27 ranking D to do the job and there is more examples.

*As a Browns fan that watched Baker in Cleveland, I'm telling right you, Mayfield's a Superbowl-winning caliber QB. Despite what casuals say.* *In his two years in Tampa, he's doing 96% of the things that people have demanded of a "franchise QB".* *-Having a good work ethic.* ✅ *-Mentally tough and confident.* ✅ *-Being a great team player.* ✅ *-Signing a team friendly deal. ($115 million contract in a day and age where QBs are getting paid $160-$260 million+).* ✅ *-Playing well in 1-score games (96.6 passer rating).* ✅ *-Playing well against good teams (105.8 passer rating).* ✅ *-Playing well despite a bad run game (94.6 passer rating in 2023 with the 32nd ranked rushing offense).* ✅ *-Playing well in the 4th quarter (105.6 passer rating).* ✅ *-Playing well despite injuries to star receivers (96.2 passer rating in 3 games without without Mike Evans; 106.5 passer rating in 11 games (including playoffs) without Chris Godwin).* ✅ *-Playing well in the playoffs (114.8 passer rating in 3 playoff games with Tampa; 105.9 passer rating in 5 playoff games overall).* ✅ *-Playing well in the 4th quarter of playoff games (30/43, 334 yards, 3 TDs, 1 INT, 1 lost fumble, 106.2 passer rating).* ✅ *-Being able to make clutch drives in the 4th quarter (9 game-tying/go ahead drives in the 4th quarter in two years in Tampa)* ✅ *The ONLY things that Baker needs to do better are:* *-Cutting down on turnovers against bad teams (18 of the 26 INTs he's thrown in Tampa have come against losing teams).* *-Stop trying to truck people on QB scrambles like he's Mike Alstott.* 😂😂😂

[@Buxfan-fg8bh]

I love Baker and i didnt when they got him at first. He turned me around I am a fan. With that said Baker has turned the ball over twice to end our season. he needs to work on that aspect. But we would not have made either playoff without him. So top 5? darn close. top ten for sure. Franchise QB for sure. He just needs to tighten on those turnovers, and he could be top 5. I would like to say the defense puts him in hero mode where he makes most of his int's. So perhaps all that is needed is a reasonable defense.

[@shrummedia5059]

Stop blaming Baker for that fumble. That was not his fault. That was a timing issue and that okay should have never been called in that situation. He took the blame because that's what leaders do.he played his heart out in that game l. The defense could not get off the field

[@floydhalby6239]

Yes most definitely!!

[@BatW446]

We must keep Coen and Baker together. if we do next year could be something special

[@tonesmac2208]

BAKER IS A DAMN GOOD QB. TOP 4.

[@kathygillespie2016]

Great podcast!!!! Thanks boys!

[@bangskott661]

This is our FIRST YEAR WITH A RUN GAME. Our identity wasn't set early on and we were still killing it. Next year knowing what this offense is capable of and drafting key pieces at defense this team will be CONTENDERS. And Baker will be undisputed top 5 QB, minus the excessive turnovers which hurt us at times no one will be better.

[@stephenmortensen]

Did not expect AEW Dynamite talk on pewter report, but I'm here for it. Welcome back Kenny and Joe!

[@Smitty55dirk]

On Cohen - what if they work out a deal to pay him BIG as the OC to finish out Bowles contract? I see that as a def possibility. They can basically give him a year to “plan” to become a HC.

[@kathygillespie2016]

On the subject of Liam Coen.... I was worried about this when we first hired him! Look at all of the moves he's made! He jumps around a lot and I was so afraid of this coming to fruition!

[@rgillan67]

Not yet, but definitely in the top 10 this year

[@tyfreeman4877]

I almost unsubscribed when yall put Joe Burrow at 2 😂😭 must be trying to engagement farm

[@Jackalspit]

Burrow, Jackson, Allen, Baker, Goff, Darnold, then maybe Mahomes. We have to go off of current production, not past achievements. Edit* you could swap goff and Mayfield in my list

[@tylerlesnick1736]

Darnold sucks lmao

[@Kamikazecobra92]

Draft Jalon Walker from Georgia in first round!!!

[@patrickigbeka1234]

I’m thinking the same thing the fact he can be a linebacker or an edge rusher will add great versatility to our defense

[@larryweatherford5117]

Love Baker But! I hate it’s two years in a row offense has ended its season with a Mayfield turnover. If defense got off the field more often, he wouldn’t feel so desperate 😢

[@TimothyHayslett]

If he can cut down on turnovers next year and continue the same stats he'll be scratching the top 5 right now he's in the top 10

[@tjfuller1021]

I know you guys don’t control it, but holy Batman that’s a lot of ads. 5 ads in the first 9 minutes lol

[@frawsten]

Def think number 7 is a perfect spot for Bake

[@carsonlineberger1354]

He's close. It sure helps when you have the best group of receivers in the game and possibly the best Oline as well.

[@bigkev9539]

*He's had a 96.2 passer rating in 3 games without Mike Evans and a 106.5 passer rating in 10 games without Chris Godwin.*

[@shrummedia5059]

Tampa fans are dumb and taking baker for granted. Its so crazy how many Tampa fans say he sucks and they dont want him.. i almost wish they lost him so people could see how bad they would be... this is a bottom ten roster... Thats why when tom keft taboa was supposed to be rebuilding for years!. baker is elevating this team by a lot. We all love Evans and Godwin but, to act like they both aren't far past their prime is delusional. He played at an MVP level this year. Give the man his flowers for once. Cannin fire podcast constantly hating on him. He threw a few more interceptions than youd like this year, sure. Still doesn't change that hes a stud. He plays like favre or Eli manning. He gonna throw some oucks but he also makes the best most high difficulty throws in the Business. Funnest qb to watch in the NFL, by far. Plus go watch back all his picks. Many of them bounced off his receivers hands,, or McMillan, palmer, or Shepard running the wrong damn route. aporeciate what you have. The dude deserves it. Sincerely, Browns fan

[@timothyfitzgerald3168]

I think you get about 8 games a year from Baker that are top five level play. Then you get another six or seven that are top 10. And two stinkers. Overall I'd say he is top 8.

[@theplygrd]

Baker tied the lead for ints as a QB and lead all QBs with fumbles lost. You can't be top 5 in my mind turning the ball over like that. Add to the fact that the past 2 seasons ended on Baker turnovers, if he doesn't get better at that the Bucs will be in the same spot next season.

[@jjpotts1705]

Not true...none of it.

[@williebfor3]

Be top 5 when it counts! Divisional round interception ! Wild card glitched/fumble, do it a 3rd time than what? Forgot a regular season quarterback!

[@moparbuc9256]

#1 is definitely Mahomes & #2 Lamar is a 2x MVP so putting Burrow over him is comical at it’s highest level Career wise he’s had the better career over burrow so Lamar is definitely 2nd it’s your choice of 3-4 between Allen and Burrow their careers have been about the same minus burrow has played for a SB , 5th will most likely be Stafford, 6th is Jalen Hurts, 7th is Jared Goff, 8th only due to upside but he better have a better season in 2025 and that’s Kyler Murray, 9th CJ stroud he’s back to Back in the playoffs since entering the league, 10th and I hate to say it but my eyes saw what they saw and that Is JD is Him way to many clutch plays as a rookie, 11th is Baker Based off recent success his other seasons elsewhere does exist so he’s not exonerated from his resume regardless of what happened it happened plus his turnovers are horrible INTs and Fumbles, 12th Dak, 13th A Heathly TUA, 14th Geno, 15th Herbert………everything else doesn’t matter at the moment

[@scottlaurimore3698]

LoL that’s hilarious. He’s a turnover machine who can’t win a playoff game. You bucs fans are under strong delusion. Hilariously Pathetic

[@terrbear5086]

He's won multiple playoff games 🤡

[@adamgonzales4188]

Nope has to control the turnovers

[@reanard1773]

No!!!!
