Ian Rapoport: Sources ”Baker playing with a ucl tear in his thumb”

[Chopper0080]

I said he's been below average. You said average. There's a lot of words here to qualify a fairly insignificant difference.

I'm not concerned how his class has been. He was the #33 pick and so far has not been worth the pick.

But as I say that could well be Vance.

At 33, the Cardinals drafted arguably the best CB that was taken in the draft that year when taking usage and stats into consideration...how has he not been worth it at this point? Again, him not being a top 32 CB 3 games into his second year doesn't make him "below average" or "not worth the pick".

Not sure, but we had a CB, Corey Chavous, who struggled at the CB position. He ended up in MN and was switched to safety, and had a good career, if I remember correctly.

Bigger physically. Could take a beating well

Heck, right now it might be Campbell if you look at our current season as a whole lol

Not this year he doesn't. He's lost that crown already. You have to earn it.

Budda Baker said his right thumb will continue to be in a cast and will have to figure out a way to play and tackle with a healthy left hand and the other four fingers on his right hand. Baker isn’t sure how long he’ll have to wear the cast.

Budda Baker said there was a sense of urgency to have surgery on his thumb because of the ligament he tore. Doctors told Baker that if he waited too long, the ligament would shrivel and he may not be able to bend this thumb.

S Budda Baker said in the Lions game he had to get used to tackling without using right thumb. Will wear a cast against Jets. Doesn't know how long he'll have the cast.

Budda Baker said having a cast on his thumb is restrictive when tackling. "Then again, I’ve got four other fingers."
