When was it exactly that "things were good".

Coming to a team that won (4) games in THREE YEARS prior to drafting him?

Rookie year with the absolute worst head coach in the history of the NFL?

Playing for a new head coach who was canned about ten minutes after his first-and-only season?

Playing for another rookie head coach under COVID madness and winning a playoff game IN PITTSBURG while throwing to the mercurial Higgins, developmental DPJ and Juice with a marginal billion $$$ TE we just cut?

Or was it playing lights out in game (1) of year (4) only to destroy his non-throwing shoulder after (5) quarters of play? Maybe it was when Hudson was on an island with Watt...when he should have been on an island with Gilligan.

Baker didn't play well last year...when everything was the exact opposite of good.

That "narrative" is as ridiculous as the 4th Q comeback BS. He's gone now...it's for the better...but for the wrong reasons.
