Opinion: Revisiting Chris Baker

I’ve been watching the comments for a few days about Chris Baker and his game with the Patriots and seeing if we’re worried about Baker and what he’ll do as a Patriot. I’m of the opinion that Baker’s a good enough player that in playing with the Pats, he’ll get more attention and such. Unsure QBs often throw to their Tight Ends or RB checkdowns. Why?

Yes, I would have preferred the team keep Baker with Keller, but for the money to keep him a Jet last year, it wasn’t worth it to hold onto him in a role that would increasingly be one as a blocker as Dustin Keller begins to really shine. For more on the subject, read Bent’s post on Baker from last month. Another reason that I’m not that concerned? Just look at the Patriots roster at Tight End.
