I was never a fan of Baker and last year, he made the naysayers look dumb. Do you guys think the first 5 weeks are a fluke or was 2018 a fluke? The talent in CLE is so much better than it has been in years.

Combo of a lot of things. The offense needs to run through Chubb, not Mayfield, and the OL can't run block. Mayfield is a one read qb and defenses have learned to contain him or create pressure, take away his primary read, and disguise his coverages. And kitchens has no idea what he's doing, so there's that.
Baker can still be OK if Kitchens can design an offense that gives him room to improvise. He's slippery outside of the pocket and solid throwing on the run. But kitchens is punching way above his weight so that won't happen.
