Baker Mayfield

Well, he's not "struggling" to "overcome his height disadvantage", he's simply compensating for being injured, having his starting tackles injured, missing his best receiver (until he returned to have and awful performance) and having a complete flake as his #1 receiver .... now thankfully gone.
Yet , despite all this, there he is with 67% completion percentage, 96 passer rating, only a couple interceptions and the team in the thick of the AFC race.
Sky falling much?
The sky isn't falling.
Baker is a good starting QB, along the lines of what Andy Dalton was for years in Cincinnati.
And you can laugh at the idea of shutting down Baker and getting him into rehabbing his shoulder now, instead of waiting until the season ends, but lets be honest, the Browns aren't going to the playoffs this season. Not with a gimpy Baker, or a team ravaged with injuries, not with the upcoming schedule. They lose tomorrow, it's pretty much over.

That's a pretty accurate comparison Dutch except Baker actually WON a playoff game. Dalton was pretty consistent at leading Cincy to the playoffs so he wasn't that bad considering the franchise he did that for. Tell ya what, I'd take an AJ Green in his prime right about now.

Fantastic.
The QB the Browns took #1 overall in the entire 2018 NFL Draft, before Josh Allen and Lamar Jackson, won a playoff game.

Not sure why you're lumping Lamar in there. His playoff appearances have been all subpar when compared to Allen and Baker.
Doors blown off in his 1st and 2nd. Then snuck by an offensively deficient Titans squad then put up all of 3 points on a Bills defense that surrendered 40+ the following week in his 3rd attempt. Right now Lamar is the Peyton Manning of the new era. Brilliant regular season and lackluster playoff games.

If the 32 NFL GMs were lined up and asked, who do you want, Lamar Jackson or Baker Mayfield, how do you think the vote goes?
And Lamar definitely has limitations too, as shown in the playoffs.

Lamar is a great RB with some passing skills. I watched their entire game against the Bengals, and they wrote a book on how to neutralize him.

So did the Browns a few seasons ago, when they jumped all over Baltimore and made the Ravens (and Lamar) one-dimensional.
But as many on here have pointed out, the NFL is trending towards QBs playing like Lamar does, than how Baker does.

Are you pretending you LIKED Josh Allen more than you liked Josh Rosen pre-draft? If so, you're full of SHIT.
And let me guess, even though Baker was drafted by the 0-16 team - ONLY poor Josh Rosen was the one that just didn't stand a chance with the piss poor team that drafted him right? After his 5th or 6th team cuts him - the Saints might have room.
Sometimes you gotta understand where this franchise was when they drafted Baker to understand what he's done here vrs what he was up against. Are you the only one in Ohio that wasn't aware of the QB t-shirt? Just sayin...
This franchise was 1-31 the 2 years before drafting Baker and 0-1-1 with a 14 point deficit to the Jets before he takes his 1st snap as a rookie. The guy went 7-7 and set a rookie record for TD passes which has to SUCK for you and your media hero Tony Grossi.
Dutch you act like a lot of QBs have led this team to 11 regular season wins and 1 playoff victory since 1999. And this franchise always scores 48 points in playoff games right? Now, why don't you go take inventory of what your buddies want you to post so you can win the cutest essay contest.

Congrats, the guy who predicts the Browns to win every game predicted correctly that the Browns would win. ?
Our good QB had a good game!

Telling it like it is... Baker is my QB... I think he's perfect for this team...

That's your cop-out? That my character "The Great Zomboni" picks the Browns to win every game since 1999?
He was extraordinary today, he made huge plays, we trounced a rival and we are fucking back.

Cop-out?
How many times do I have to write "Baker Mayfield is a good starting QB" or "Baker Mayfield starts for over half the teams in the NFL" for you to understand that I actually do think Baker is a good NFL QB? Do I think he's elite? No.
But he definitely doesn't suck like so many on here said he has lately ?

Maybe this will quiet the "fans" that think Baker Mayfield stinks for awhile....... even though he's the first BROWNS quarterback since Vinny Testiverde to do squat in the playoffs. Just sayin'.
GO BROWNS !

Never mind him Zombo - he still hasn't gotten over Hag 2 punking his ass the last time he got cocky and stuck his Nikes in his mouth..
Rumor has it Dutch's favorite pre-draft QB - Josh Rosen, after being released by Arizona, Miami, Tampa Bay and SF, has finally been promoted from the Atlanta Falcons Junior Varsity to the Varsity team as a backup QB. He was a 1st round QB Dutch suddenly wants to give the Coyote Ugly treatment to in hopes nobody will remember that was HIS guy while he bashes other fans' predraft favorite QBs. And now back to our regularly scheduled regurgitation of Tony Grossi's point of view about Baker Mayfield brought to us by Dutch...
Is anyone else as miserable as Dutch about what unfolded today?

Aren't you the one that said "limited"?
Whatever limits him doesn't prevent him from throwing 60 yard td strikes, and drubbing his opponent, stepping on their necks at the end.
He's got a broken shoulder and lost his all pro tackle to the IR this week, and his big name #1 receiver flaked off ... and we trounced Mr Burrows and that other Ohio team.
C'mon, have a beer with us believers ... and then in the words of Billy Joel "and we all enjoyed the weekend for a change".

No, his hero Tony Grossi writes all his content about Baker and he just spews it. He makes it adorable for the kids that think he's wonderful in here so they give him smiley faces and reach arounds.

Before I forget - way to go Baker! Those that said you couldn't were sincerely hoping the 48 points Cleveland hit Pittsburgh upside the head with in the post season last year were hoping you'd gag today. One of those guys is still pretty resentful in how much you've outshined his Josh Rosen's 1st round resume to date. The only guy drafted by an 0-16 team was Baker. However, the only guy that still needs the drafted by a bad team excuse is Josh Rosen.
Now if only we can get him to admit this to all our boys and girls and ladies and gentlemen in here in lieu of pretending he actually LIKED Buffalo's Josh Allen.

I can’t wait for OBJ’s dad to post his anti Mayfield video tonight.

He is limited. I do believe that Baker has about hit his ceiling, which puts him in the top 15 QBs on the planet.
Do I think he's an All-Pro QB? Probably not. Potential Hall of Famer? No.
But he's a good starting QB, and you can win a lot of games with a steady, good starting QB.
But I do worry that if the Browns give him a big, franchise QB contract, that he's not dynamic enough to overcome the roster deficiencies his contract will cause.
Nothing he did today shocked me, considering good NFL QBs often produce good or very good games, like he did today. And when people piled on him a few weeks ago, I backed him by pointing out the same things you mentioned: He's playing hurt, the OLine is banged up, his RBs were banged up, etc.
And it's always great when the Browns kick one of their rivals asses!

That's great news!
Now when are we getting this "real QB"?
