bonefish, baker could have played the exact same game and it could have been viewed totally differently. Bakers line was 18/37 for 247 yards. If our receivers would have done their job baker would have been 23/37 for 300+ yards. We would have won the game and no one except the small group who will always criticize would be attacking him.

Now someone said drops should not be considered because everyone has drops. On a macro or global level that is true . But on a micro level, when you zero in on a game it
Affects outcomes greatly. I went back thru Sunday’s game watching the raven offense. If they had any drops I did not see them. What if lamar’s receivers dropped five passes and bakers dropped zero. Lamar’s stat line would have been 13/32 for about 125 yards. And the browns would be winners.

A successful passing attack depends on a lot of things and one of them is guys who are paid to catch the all actually catch the dang ball.
