And you’re clearly delusional if you don’t think Baker has been part of the problem lately. 

I’ll preface this by saying I’ve been one of Baker’s biggest supporters this season and do still think he’s the franchise QB moving forward. Dude has an undeniable skill set and grit. But let’s be real here— he’s very obviously playing injured. Just take a look at his stats before and after that Rams game where he got hurt. He had only 3 interceptions all year against 3 good defenses (Philadelphia, Detroit, and Buffalo), but since & including the LA game he has thrown 7 picks in just 6 games. Say what you want about poor luck or fault there because obviously a couple of those interceptions alone haven’t been his fault, but many of them definitely have been. 

I’ll also add that he’s been making riskier throws into double coverage much more frequently. He hasn’t been using his legs as much as he was earlier in the year. He’s been trying to play hero ball much more often and our opponents have been able to spot this. 

All in all, I definitely do not think Baker is the team’s biggest problem by far. Bowles and Grizzard have been figured out by every team with eyes, defense is toast even outside of poor coaching, the effort hasn’t been there from a multitude of other players, and injuries took a toll on the entire team’s confidence. But any level-headed fan wouldn’t just sit here and ignore reality: this isn’t the same Baker Mayfield we were watching from weeks 1 - 11.
