and I think that tweet literally cannot be read any other way than as a comparison with himself if you consider Baker's history as an 'undersized walk-on'. And you know, whatever happens, Baker had a lot of success as the guy nobody wanted, the undersized walk-on who won a Heismann.
Keep that energy. How the hell can you read it any other way?
Does Baker perhaps listen to and respond too much to outside criticism? Yeah probably. He uses it as fuel, he always has, and it got him this far, so who knows?
Will it be a problem in the NFL? Well, the only difference really between that feeding his fire and Brady, who can still tell you every single QB taken in front of him in his draft and what their careers were is that Baker doesn't keep his mouth shut. Maybe that'll be a problem. Maybe he'll learn to. Maybe he won't and it won't matter.
It's totally fine to not like the guy, but I think we oughta at least be accurate.
