Baker traded to the Panthers. At least he didn't go to Pitt.

I want to thank Baker for his time with the Browns.
He came to a bad team and did his best. I am sorry it did not work out. IMO he gave it all he had.
When Baker came to Browns it was horrible to be a fan of the team. We were beyond terrible. Embarrassing to watch.
We got to the playoffs with Baker. I will not forget the feeling of winning against the Steelers on the road.
I wish him good luck except when we play against him.
I will be thankful when all the Baker talk ends forever. It got to a point where nothing else could be said yet it kept going.
It is over now and the Browns have moved on and so have I.

Good luck Baker & All the best. You'll need a lot of luck because the Panthers will be a dumpster fire - hopefully you play well enough to secure your next deal 2023.
The more things change the more they stay the same.

How does a league celebrating its 100th season only recognize the 53 most recent championships?

Good luck Baker. I'm sorry it didn't work out for you here. I was really pulling for you from day one. If I may add, somethings here never change. We got our usual 5th round pick for a former #1 pick of ours. Staying with tradition!!!! Although I realize a move had to be made. At least we are now past this, thank God!!!

I wish Baker luck and thank him for what he did for us. There is a saying, "you don't know what you got till it's gone." He will be missed. Now we have Watson, who could be suspended for the season, and what's their names as backups.

OK now maybe the Cleveland "media" can focus on the actual guys who will be playing for the Browns this season. And before anyone starts complaining about what the Browns got in this deal, just remember they got rid of a guy who many claimed would be a backup anywhere else. So ask yourself - what would you give up for a backup QB? Certainly not much. Good luck Baker. Not as good as a #1 should be but not as bad as he has been portrayed since he got injured. I think the front office and the "genius" HC hung him out to dry by letting him go out continuously after his shoulder got messed up. Anyone who occasionally watches football knows he shouldn't have been on the field NO MATTER what the player or doctors said. The adults in the room failed miserably at their jobs when they needed to act in the best interest of the team. Let's just hope that the remaining QBs on this roster who actually play this season can produce. And thank you Baker for bringing back the passion to the lake front.
The Browns finally have a leader in the building. It won't be long before Jim Schwartz is in charge. Thankfully.

Intoducing for The Cleveland Browns, Quarterback Deshawn "The Predator" Watson. He will also be the one to choose your next head coach.

Wow why would they want a washed up QB? Because he is all that is left. Not saying he is washed up but he wasn't their preferred choice.....that was Watson.

If I were our coaching staff, I'd start giving Jacoby a lot of practice reps. You know what they say, practice makes perfect!!!!!

I wasn’t a fan of drafting him. That said his play won me over enough to let it ride for another season. He had a couple of stretches of play that we haven’t seen on this team, short of DA’s big season, in decades. Big, explosive plays. High scoring affairs. Etc. I did have doubts about his ability to win when it mattered. But again was willing to give him another season to play it out. That said, here we are.
I can’t say that I ever really watched a Carolina game with any interest. This season I can see flipping to the Carolina games during commercials to check in on him. I wish him well.
Onward. Go Browns!!

so it goes from:
Mayfield Darnold Allen Rosen Jackson, in order by ranking, to:
Allen Jackson Mayfield Darnold Rosen, in reality.
and Mayfield and Darnold on the same team means Carolina has no QB for the future at this moment.

Wish him well. He came in here was part of the spark that got things going. 2020 was tons of fun, and we got to see glimpses of that through the cloud of injury last year.
He's not without his warts, but I do think he can still be successful in this league. Hope the coaching he gets in NC helps him... he basically got acquired for a ham sandwich, Carolina has very little committed to him other than probably not having much else at the position this year.
FWIW, if he can't take the starting job from Darnold and the rookie, then I guess we have our answer.
There is no level of sucking we haven't seen; in fact, I'm pretty sure we hold the patents on a few levels of sucking NOBODY had seen until the past few years.

Yeah, they're stuck with a QB who made the playoffs the last season he was healthy and paid peanuts for him. Sad isn't it?

I didn't want to draft Baker I wanted Josh Allen, but Baker grew on me, I want to thank him for the best years since our comeback, playoffs beating the Steelers in the playoffs and a lot of exciting football. I am not sad that he is gone but I hate having to face him in the opener, I hope he has a good career in Carolina (Except when we play them) bye Baker it was interesting

The biggest question now is whether or not Robbie Anderson's father has a video camera.
In all seriousness, I hope it works out for Baker. Not in week 1.

Good luck Baker. You gave it your all In Cleveland. You embrased the fans and the city. I'm sorry that it didn't work out for you or the Cleveland fans. I wish you the best of luck in the future. You deserve it bud.
I AM ALWAYS RIGHT... except when I am wrong.

Yeah, they're stuck with a QB who made the playoffs the last season he was healthy and paid peanuts for him. Sad isn't it? they paid peanuts for a former #1 overall pick. i'm not sure there's a great track record of #1 drafted QBs with little success with their first team, being more successful with their new team. since 99: Tim Couch Michael Vick David Carr Carson Palmer Eli Manning Alex Smith Jamarcus Russell Sam Bradford Cam Newton Andrew Luck Jameis Winston Jared Goff Baker Mayfield Kyler Murray Joe Burrow Trevor Lawrence not exactly a top tier list of #1 overall QBs with great careers, especially when accounting for the QB's who moved teams.

It doesn't matter if you are picked #1, #101 or #256.. All you have done to that point is bought yourself a ticket to the dance. What you do on the dance floor is what keeps you in the game.
