I like Baker. I have liked him since the 1st Jets game, where he came in and rallied the team to a win.
His last year here, he was hurt. His play reflected that. The year he left was mostly a lost year, as it seemed like he didn't fully recover until he got to the Rams. If he had stayed here, he still would have been out, because his play was not up to his normnal standards.
I would prefer that we still had Baker. People can say a lot of things about him, bujt the fact is that he proiduced at a high level, in a rebuilding year for Tampa, and for a team with a crap run game. He was 10th in passing yards, 12th in passer ratling, and 7th in passing TDS. He had an outstanding season.
We'll see if Watson can produce anything similar here. Heaven help us if he can't, because if he can't, this team will be set back horribly .... because they are married to him for another 3 seasons, at least. (and probably cap implications beyond that, as we have restructured him already.
