Baker is a really good dude. Bunch of us high school coaches worked his kid camp. It was over 100 degrees and he stayed outside with us all day. Played with the kids and bull crapped around with us coaches. He is a class act and a tremendous human being. I hope that dude wins multiple championships. If you look back at Cleveland and you will see he really didn’t have that good of a receiving core and he did in things in spite of crap coaching. Then he played hurt. He is a dude! Tampa got a steal in Baker.

I remember that first game as a Ram, and watching his team mates' body language around him. His energy, poise and the effect on his guys was palpable. I remember being impressed with that by the third quarter, long before he even sealed that incredible comeback drive. Now, when I watch Bucs games, I see that same energy field around him. You can say what you want about Baker, the injuries, the batted passes, the commercials,... but you have to admit, there's something real about him.

Did you account for the Bucs adjusting to a new zone blocking scheme early in the season? Most players over the years learning that scheme have said it takes most of the season to become a little more comfortable in that system. It explains why they are rushing the ball better now than in week 6. Also in week 6 the Bucs had some injuries on the defensive side of the ball? Their 2 high draft picks on the defensive line are also miles ahead of where they were in week 6. Why would you not account for any of this in your comment?

In this instant gratification era we need to slow down and think Baker is doing well ...not perfect ...not prime Brady or even Farve..but hey some of the greats didnt have such a tumultuous first few years and they werent all sunshine and roses ...except brady he pretty much killed it immediately...my point is there are some players out there who got the ax before they got to their potential especially QBs ...and that's becoming all too common these days what a dam shame

This is the Bucs revenge tour. Everything they are going to play in the playoffs beat them in the regular season.

Brady’s O- line was decimated from training camp. Stop it. Love Baker but keep it a buck

The Bucs can be dangerous as long as the offense shows up that leads to the defense balling out

Clearly baker played well i mean that game could of got out of hand if his receivers would of caught the balls that hit them in the hands...but at the same time clearly that wasnt the 10-1 eagles...they are dysfunctional and just coasting to end the season...they had no drive to compete much less win.. But hey im glad Baker is doing well hes a good qb ..

Its hard get an idea of the Bucs, the Eagles did something that we rarely see, how far did they collapse?

I have been Bucs fan since 1978 when Doug Williams was quarterback…..but are you seriously trying to compare what a 45 year old quarterback did post season to what a 28 year old quarterback did post season…..REALLY!!. Let’s not forget that Tom Brady is the only QB with SB in the AFC and SB in the NFC and got his last SB at the age of 42/43….oh got his first SB at the age of 24 ( although the youngest to win a SB goes to Ben Roethlisberger).

1:45 - Way better offensive coordinator. Canales is going to be a head coach. Leftwich may never be a coach again.

To be fair...boththings are true....but logically the same truths would apply to the Lions as well. They also are a more experienced, more dialed in unit than they were just a third of the way into the year. Thus...this counterpoint disqualifies itself by default since the same factors and impact applies equally to both teams. The real difference? Detroit dismantled the Bucs in their own house with count em...ONE starting player in its secondary and no less than five from that level injured in all. Additionally, we were without a starting DT a starting EDGE and the backup for either edge rusher. And our RB were gimpy. And we had a patchwork o line 50% of which was random heads just moved up off waivers lol. PLUS our rookies were still green, limited action and inexperienced. Does anyone sane really think the Bucs can go into Ford field vs. a HEALTHY Lions team, with rookies a full years game action and a playoff win under their belt, with the entire city and support if the sports world behind them and win?
