Creative Posted March 10, 2012 Share Posted March 10, 2012 Why Sam Baker's worthless *** is still on this team.I don't think Lofton is worth 8m.. however, if he signs in TB or Philly for 6.5-7m, and we have Baker sitting on the bench eating 2m.. I'm going to be furious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulitik Posted March 10, 2012 Share Posted March 10, 2012 For real. Baker is a bucket of suck. And right now he's sucking valuable cap space. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Falcon Fantom Posted March 10, 2012 Share Posted March 10, 2012 I totally concur. Baker is trash!!! I rather let Svetik handle it. He did great last season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magic Man Posted March 10, 2012 Share Posted March 10, 2012 Only thing I can guess is that Pat Hill sees a flaw in his game he can fix and thinks he's the guy. Or they're waiting to see where the Gaither/McNeil market falls before letting him go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm going to be furious.Until they are required to be under the cap and/or the 53 man cut it doesn't matter. Right now they don't have a good LT on the team. If he had a roster bonus due then that would be more telling whether they keep him or cut him right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carl927 Posted March 11, 2012 Share Posted March 11, 2012 They're probably saving Baker for a trade. Should be able to get at least a number two pick for him. Baker is awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let us sign a LT and you'll see him gone the next day...Exactly.. I'm sure they are looking to upgrade, but if that don't go our way at least we have an available player (backup) instead of unused dollars.I know he is eating up cap space, but isn't he a FA next year? The LTs that are available in FA all have questions regarding their health and ability to stay on the field. Considering this, it might be worth to keep Baker around for one more year to back up if the new LT goes down with an injury, even dispite his salary..I think the FO has a plan with Baker.. He can't continue to suck that much, and expect to be on the team forever. Edited March 11, 2012 by niels petersen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big_D Posted March 11, 2012 Share Posted March 11, 2012 (edited) Why Sam Baker's worthless *** is still on this team.You have to watch the video posted on danight's thread. It shows Bakers showing off his pickup truck and explaining why it has all the damage on both sides. It unlocks the mystery on why he sucks as a blocker. HE'S FARUUKEN BLIND! He admits to scraping walls and such that tore up the truck. BINGO! He can't block cause he doesn't see them. OMG! HIS PEE POOR PLAY IS EXPLAINED BY NONE OTHER THAN HIMSELF? He needs a redtip cane and seeing eye dog. Edited March 11, 2012 by bob_d Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What kind of car did you expect him to have? The video is just a spoof on all of the "cribs" style videos, and he's having a little fun..

IonSen88 Posted March 11, 2012 Share Posted March 11, 2012 What I don't understand is how far Baker has fallen from 2008 to 2012. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
niels petersen Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 (edited) What I don't understand is how far Baker has fallen from 2008 to 2012.Yeah, he was actually one of the top LT prospects and was playing at a very high level over his 4 year starting tenure in college..But he did have som red flags, as he had some injury problems.. And those problems have continued throughout his NFL carrer - i guess that is the biggest factor for his lack of development.I say give him one more year as a backup for a new FA LT, and see where he is at next year.

madman88 Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 He will be cut in due time... If you look closely, were signing players now, we havent cut anyone yet.... Gotta do things one thing at a time... He will be cut in due time... If you look closely, were signing players now, we havent cut anyone yet.... Gotta do things one thing at a time...
