I heard Baker can't read, which might explain the issues he's been having

How the hell did he get into College

How the hell did he get into College

Please tell me that isn’t true.

How the hell did he get into College

You can graduate from HS without being able to read, especially urban schools. Then the recruiter helps you fill out applications. No SAT requirement for many colleges now.

How the hell do you do homework if you cannot even read the questions or assignment
If they spent so much time figuring out how to push him through
Maybe they should have spent that time teaching him to read

You don’t. You should read up on these inner city violence zones they call schools. Kids graduating with a 0.7 GPA.

That’s sad
They make it seem like their helping the kid when they are really only handcuffing them literally

I have no problem with schools giving degrees to whoever they wish. There are many reasons for poor grades.

The issue for me is that a HS graduate should be able to read and do arithmetic at an 8th grade level, as should any entrant to a four-year college.

Then you do have problems with schools giving degrees to whoever they wish. The whole point of grades is to judge whether a student has mastered material sufficiently to move on to the next level or graduate.

To assess whether a HS student could read at an 8th grade level, that student would have be tested and — you guessed it! — graded. You’re contradicting yourself. If a student failed this assessment, I could say, “But there are many reasons for poor grades! Graduate them anyway. Give them that degree.” But you just said you had an issue with HS grads not being able to read at that level.

Choose. Pass them, knowing they are ill equipped for the future. Or admit that maybe hundreds of years of prior practice shouldn’t be abandoned and hold them back until they learn (or drop out).

Where or from whom did you hear that?

 

[Toofy]

Oh come on. It is not necessary to be delusionally optimistic to qualify for fandom:

This...:

"We have a truly horrible roster that will be very difficult to improve??? What nonsense!"

...is flatly contradicted by this:

"We will sign two OT's, at least one top level WR, and we will re-sign Hooper. Will that be almost impossible by trade or in free agency. Of course not.

And then we'll add a bit of depth and competition at WR and RB."

The idea in particular that OT's are readily to be acquired by trade/free agency (or in this year's draft class) and that replacing a quartet of failed WR's (and a passrusher) will be a piece of cake are, to borrow an expression, nonsense.

This is even more certainly the cases given we virtually wasted the entirety of last year (and a couple of years before that).

I don't think you need stud olinemen. Decent Oline with good coaching and winning mentality.

I am sure our existing Oline would improve over last year considering the continuity last year and second year jump from rookies. And if they avoid penalties we will be much superior and not shoot ourselves in the foot.

I see LT as a pressing need whilst rest can be filled to an average level with existing roster.

If we have better screens and slot receiver routes, pressure on Oline will become lesser . We will start to see an improvement .

Anything around 7 wins is a positive improvement this season and I am confident we will get that.

I actually don't remember and can't find it now. Both of his parents have Master's degrees, I believe, which makes the contrast bizarre. There have been numerous references to him struggling to learn the playbook.

 

[Zuma]

I don’t believe for a minute that Baker can’t read. I believe it was reported but…fake news.

Me neither.

Although it wouldn't surprise me to learn his reading level was at a middle school/grade school level.

I have said numerous times that MacDaniels is a good OC, I just don’t like the EP offense, and I don’t like them switching offenses on Maye

The Bills with Josh Allen are running an EP offense since Daboll went there and they are one of the best offense year in and year out.

Running the EP system doesn’t equal running option route every play if that’s what you are worried about.
