Can’t believe this guy is still being looked at as a “future star”. If anybody should be compared to Jay Cutler, it’s him.
Actually..he’s worse
He talked shit on the Texas QB while he’s in the NFL, he took shots at his old coach who wasn’t even with the team anymore and continued doing it in the offseason, he talked shit on Rex Ryan and now he’s talking shit on Instagram comments.
Good God you dumb motherfucker. You would think he spends as much time doing this petty bullshit as he does studying for a game.
He has shown talent, but man this guy is not someone you want on your team when things aren’t going well.

Leaf was begging out of practice with a wrist injury to go play golf. The closest analogue to him is Jamarcus Russell, who was once given a DVD of film to review by the Raiders staff and reported back that he learned a lot.
The DVD was blank.
Leaf did start his career 2-0. Then he said playing in Arrowhead was just like any other place. Then he threw more interceptions than completions. [Reply]
The league had 1/2 season of film to figure him out. That's plenty of tape. What's new? He is not comfortable in the pocket and does not trust himself to step up and gets nervous feet(creating inaccurate throws) on top of not being able to decipher defenses quick enough.
I'm glad the hype machine has disappeared. But he's not even close to Ryan leaf territory yet. He still has talent. He'll never be the qb he was hyped to be but he can become a system qb. He still has good escapability in the pocket and a good arm throwing on the run. Some coach will make something of that. Kitchens is a complete joke [Reply]

It doesn’t have to be “quantifiable” to see that it’s affected him and the team.
If it's affecting them now why didn't it affect them last season when he was the same guy? [Reply]

I literally just explained that it in the post you quoted.
His personality isn’t going to be a problem when things are “good”. Not that the Browns were good last year, but the environment/noise was. When there are expectations and you lay a huge pile of shit, it’s a problem. [Reply]

Lol what?
You didn't explain anything. You sucked your own cock because you predicted the Browns wouldn't live up to the hype this year. [Reply]

Doubtful that Baker would ever think himself as a poser. He is a legend in his own mind.. [Reply]
