Just a thought, but comparing Baker to Manziel is just ludicrous.

I say that for huge reason: Baker can actually play pro football. Manziel had zero pocket awareness, terrible footwork, and I doiubt he even knew the playbook that well.

As to Baker getting hit, you know that every defense in the country wants to lay him out on his back. The Browns' offensive line needs work, but hopefully coaching will take pains to make sure Baker is not caught in a meatgrinder offense. In fact, it is something I am really going to be watching for. If the coaches let Baker get smashed too much, fire them asap.

This Browns fan is TIRED OF STUPID COACHING!!!

Not really a Colts fan, but that shit is pretty wild. They finally put a half decent line together and he's just so broke down at this point he's done. Damn.

And also, wtf with Luck?? How do you decide that a couple weeks before the season starts that you are just too tired to do it this year?

Bad form. Man, Colts fans should be super pissed. It just is not cool. At least blow out a knee or break a bone, loser.

I'm honestly not surprised. He got so beat up his first 3-4 years b/c of the nickel & dime o-line he always had. Makes you wonder how many good QB's like Luck or Archie Manning whose careers were wasted.

I still remember Tim Couch being drafted by the Browns and you just knew he was done for.

David Carr might be the the stand out example, dude had no chance.

Noted sack of potatoes Ben Roethlisberger has been sacked 9 million times and he’s still going strong!

lol sack of potatoes. Nice decription. But Ben is a *big* player.

And not to be overly negative, but I suspect this year he is gonna have a real hard time. Clock is ticking on him, and the Squeelers ain't all that great.

OK, let me just be honest. I am looking forward to the Browns' defense owning his ass.

Also as much as Big Rapist has been sacked it wasn't anywhere close to the rate Carr was getting sacked in Houston.

If only someone could have predicted he might never be the same again. He had serious injuries he clearly never fully recovered from.

He did get injured again in camp... He didn't play in the preseason because of injury. He was going to miss regular season weeks, too.

I hear ya DT, but still, making the decision this close to the season is not cool. I know he was injury plagued, but lots of players start seasons with an injury that postpones when they can join in.

It is just bad form. After all, the scoop is internally this was known to be on his mind for several weeks.

Guys, guys guys. Luck wanted to play for his dad in the XFL and this was the only way to do it. Gotta admire his pluck and determination.

It's his life, his body, and his health. I sure as shit wouldn't want to spend the rest of my days stumbling punch-drunk and half-blind like Dennis Quaid in Any Given Sunday.

For which he has been handsomely paid.

You get paid, you fight.

Maybe I'm angry drunk, but this has me super salty.

It would be one thing if he couldn't play, but the major injury is an ankle sprain?

Way to fuck over the team, when they have no options this late other than pick up a cast off and have him learn the playbook. (Jake Brisket has been acceptable, but does not seem like a franchise guy.)

Way to fuck over the fans that have bought tickets already for this season.

Way to fuck over the team again on the cap front. I _believe_ the team could make him repay the prorated portion of the signing bonus he won't be there for, but this leaves them with less options for the base salary.

Again, if it is debilitating the day after the season ends, sure. Nagging just before the season starts, fuck you. This might actually be worse than Vontae Davis give the discrepancy in pay / importance.
