Or they could have signed Baker, kept the draft picks and be further ahead than they are now.
Not really a Baker lover, but Watson has not been better than Baker to date.
Just the facts, and the lost draft choices to date weigh more to signing Baker because of the Draft choices.
Because of the impact he had in turning around a chronically bad and losing Browns team - I'll always be a little bit of a Baker fan. With that said - his time in the CLE was 100% done - a combination of his own immaturity and arrogance while he was injured coupled with he and Stefanski completely losing trust in each other... If the relationship was salvageable before the Pittsburgh game, it was not so after that game. There were other free agent QBs available that off season, none of whom were what people like to call franchise QB's - even if some of them have since performed at similar levels to BM and DW for other teams. We are where we are - just got to hope DW returns to as close as possible to his best HOU form and does it for a sustained/full season.... we'd win a lot of games.
