DONE w/Dorian Baker !!

[dnabbott25]

Good lord I'm so done with Dorian Baker. Besides all the dropped balls, I've seen him completely QUIT on routes tonight. Why do they keep throwing to him? He litterally almost caused a pick 6 for Patrick ith 5 minutes to go in the game. Spun around untouched and had his back to the ball. The announcers have LIT INTO HIM on dropped balls and zero effort on routes. Hell the tipped INT in the endzone was his fault. It was supposed to be a run play that pat changed, but dorian quit on the route. He stopped running and let the defenders go for it. I dont care anymore, he has to have some kind of record for dropped balls in a season. But, why did the staff pull barker? Towles goes in and just throws to baker every single time.

Oh come on...it's all Towles' fault

 

[BigBlueCatNation]

He didn't seem to have much trouble with Barker in at QB. As Ware said, WR's react differently to different QB's. He may not just be able to do anything with Towles

 

[Stretch98_rivals101536]

We begin the game with a Timmons drop on a perfect pass for a sure TD and end it on a Baker drop to keep the game winning drive alive.

 

[UKUGA]

He is what he is.

 

[MychalG]

Where is the depth at WR that we all heard we had coming out of fall camp?

 

[irishcat1965]

Baker is pathetic there is no doubt about it. One catch vs EKU doesn't make up for his key drops in the other games.

 

[bigblueindy]

He doesn't want to catch passes from Towels. From what I see no other wide receiver does either. Sad.

Piss poor effort by that guy. Should be benched.

 

[barnabus_c2001]

this loss is on stoops poor game managment of the clock on the field goal we missed and that trick play they run should have been caught by stoops as he is so a micro manager should have caught it im done with him hes got to go hes worse than Joker.

 

[carolinacat]

This guy has quit on his team. I have zero respect for him and his lack of effort.

 

[RACdad]

I would play the water boy before him

 

[screwduke]

Baker needs benched. He shouldn't see the field anymore. I'd rather play Walker over him.

 

[Blueathletics]

I thought he was American Pharoah??

 

[stereonut]

What will happen to Baker, when we, as fans, are "done" with him?

I actually think you are on to something. Sad but true. Announcers all but came out and said it. They kept saying 'you know....reveivers react different to different quarterbacks in the game' and Dorian Baker litterally quit when towles cane in. Did you see how pumped they all were when Barker came in. They ERUPTED! ! SO DID SOME ASSISTANTS!! Couple this with the locker room divided, and i really think most of the team wants Barker in.

 

[qwesley]

Kind of guy that shrugs as his buddy gets clocked in the face.

 

[ukalum1988]

Dorian Baker -"Looks like Tarzan - plays like Jane"

 

[ukalum1988]

Wasn't Baker the guy that was laughing with a UT player as we were getting our butt kicked in that game?

 

[Blueaz]

Sorry, bit I didn't read thread; but I swear ir looks he drops and takes plays off on purpose. The question is WHY!

 

[Dallas-Wild]

Don't let Baker carry your baby.

 

[J-Town Chargers]

This may be the issue. The boys look like they are done with Towles and Stoops feels like he can't let the players dictate to him who plays and who doesn't. Baker has had a hell of a hard time catching footballs. AND hell yes that **** he pulled at EKU's dorm said a whole lot about him. And before someone calls me internet tough guy, I need two hands to count the number of times my boys have got me into no win situations. Someone decks your boy you fight and sometimes you take the *** whoopin.
I hope Baker decides to put in the work this winter to become the receiver he is capable of being.

 

[Chadrock]

What will happen to Baker, when we, as fans, are "done" with him?

Go to a team where he can proactively tank his responsibilities...the same as he has done for "us".

Does that work for ya?

 

[Crushgroove]

Sorry, bit I didn't read thread; but I swear ir looks he drops and takes plays off on purpose. The question is WHY!

Because Drew Barker is his BFF. He's sandbagging Towles for Barker. It was clear as day.

Three plays really ticked me off last night. The fade to the endzone he makes no effort to fight for. Pretty much just walked out of bounds with not one ounce of energy to catch that ball. Would of been a tough catch, but made that pick look like a drill run in spring practice.

The screen to King and baker sticks out one arm towards the defender instead of at least attempting a block. This killed the 2nd drive
Of the game. Could of been most important of the game. We looked good despite three drops and should of had seven on that first one

Then the slant in the endzone. He just stopped to keep from getting hit. (Maybe it wasn't catchable) but you can't just stop!
