Baker Mayfield
-
friendly deals...sometimes need friendly reminders..
When it comes to their QB, the Browns can do one of three things.
1) The first thing is they can let him play until the end of his contract, which goes through the 2022 season, and then let him walk in free agency.
*Baker Mayfield is playing on the last year of his rookie deal. A Whopping $920K.. The Browns paid Mayfield's 5th year option, that comes with a cap hit of not chump change of 18,850/ million dollars playing cost in 2022.. Let that sink in a moment... Andrew Berry was not born in a Holiday Inn express, to eat large cap numbers for his breakfast..
2) Another thing they could do is put him on the trade block and see what the market for Mayfield is. Then, if there are any offers the Browns are happy with, they can pull the trigger. (Baker's 5th year option contract carries to new team.. fair enough?)
Jimmy G.. D.Watson & a far list of unknowns would be considered.. stay tuned..
Fresh list of QB draftees? https://thedraftnetwork.com/articles/2022-nfl-draft-top-qbs-college-football-november-29 my concerns lean more towards the sideline views? of players being split of who's the real team leader..have ya seen these lost looks? not a good look,imho..
3) The third option will be to play him through his contract and then sometime in the 2023 season the Browns will give Baker Mayfield a contract extension. ( i don't see franchise tag like most.. A deal gets done or Andrew Berry will simply move on )
"I still think -- actually, I know -- that the Browns would bring Mayfield back for the right price," Graziano wrote. "I don't think they want to pay him at Patrick Mahomes/Josh Allen levels, but they believe they can win with him and would pay him in the mid-to-high $30 millions per year to stick around." (32/34M with built in team/player incentives, imho)
As is the case in most contract negotiations, the dealings between Mayfield and the Browns will likely be a matter of dollars and sense. While there's little evidence to suggest that Mayfield deserves a deal similar to Mahomes (10 years, $450 million) or Allen (six years, $258 million), Cleveland also has plenty of incentive to do whatever it takes to sign its franchise quarterback to a long term deal.
Currently, Mayfield remains under contract with the Browns through the end of the 2022 season. On multiple occasions over the course of the past year, the 26-year-old signal-caller has downplayed the urgency of getting a new deal done.
friends in low places... I'll continue to just play fan... Go Browns !

The notion this team and coaching staff needs "blown up" is Retarded.
I have pointed out Bakers struggles as I've mentioned about other players like Harrison and Walker. But I will also tell you this - not all is lost. We're not where we were 5 years ago, there is talent on this roster.
The notion this team and coaching staff needs "blown up" is Retarded. Word !

any news on what Richard LeCounte did? not sure if he's looking around Kev's or Joe's dawghouse? seems covid team rule related? just a hunch
I thought Harrison(74 snaps) played slightly better than his last 2 games.. He quietly led the team in tackles with 14.. JOK/Walker behind with 12 each..
I really struggle with the amount of reps that Walker(68) gets.. Malcolm Smith(9) repeats bigger plays..We won games with M.Smith taking most of Walker's reps while Walker was injured.. What could be so wrong with cutting Walker's reps to 45/50? Smith's increased 20'ish can't be much worse? Can they? where Mack Wilson (4) is a waste on score sheets..zero stats again
JOK played Walker's same 68 snaps of a possible 81... but, I'd love to know the yardage cost of those 13 plays JOK did not play?
Not the right topic to discuss these matters..but this defense deserved better than what our Offense gave them.. Credit Woods...our defensive units played balls to the walls & deserved a better result.. hence. I'm still thinking less Walker & more Smith might deserve a peek next game..
Christ.. ya Hold Lamar under 80 yards rushing with 4 picks...maybe 3 other teams would find a way to lose this game? Monday's suck being one of those .. ?

Again given the fact that Baker's injury will need months to heal after the surgery The only reason to sit him now would be for the rest of the season and beyond. That means you or whoever thinks that Case Keenum gives us the best chance to win from here out.. Could be. If so Keenum is your man going forward.
If not then it's a purely prophylactic move move and they are signing off on the rest of the season.

It's hard to do anything when you're banged up, you have no receivers besides Landry and nobody is getting open, and the other team is stuffing the run. I'm not making excuses for him but what else would you like him to do?
I'd like Baker to be competent - get rid of the ball, make accurate throws, be smart, if it's third or fourth down actually throw past the first down marker. These are things we can't make excuses for.
Did you see what Odell did today with a competent QB today? 5/81/1 - with two weeks of knowing the playbook. Baker had a legit WR and Baker couldn't do anything with him.

How'd that work out for the Rams?

The problem is the coaching staff believes that Baker gives this team the best shot to win and they have followed up with game plans that seemingly believe he’s fine and well (and he’s not). Not a fireable offense this season. And it’s problematic because he may have health issues that will not allow him to push the ball downfield and put the ball on point regularly. He’s got a strong arm and he’s probably middle of the pack with accuracy- but I tend to believe the strong arm and accuracy have been impacted by the injury.
But hurt or not hurt, I don’t think he reads coverages and processes well enough at this level.

Not a fireable offense
But it is a fireable offense. The handling of Baker, letting the OBJ situation get out of hand and leading to his outright release, the many penalties we have incurred the past few games including last night's debacle.
These are things coaches are meant to curtail, at least good ones do.
SHOW OF HANDS
Who thinks we could have won last night's game with a healthy Keenum with that defensive showing??
Good coaches make tough decisions.

Case Keenum.. Please... Our WR's are PURE SHIT!

It worked out well. The Rams ended up scoring 28 points. And their defense only gave them one turnover, unlike the four gifted to Baker last night. Another idiot to add to my ignore list.
Fine. Buh bye?

Not at all. Continuing to play an injured QB who is further regressing because of said injury, and any more shots later in the season will likely delay his recovery period.... is a prophylactic move.
Keenum isn't "my guy". But he presents the most logical solution for the time being that keeps this team competitive without having the injury risk Baker is currently dealing with. We aren't far removed from the days of hardly beating anyone. This team has won games in spite of QB play this season, that trend can continue.
Baker playing is just spinning wheels for the sake of "toughness". I admire his grit, I truly do. But at some point we have to say to ourselves we need to shut it down for the sake of the betterment on long term health. After all, is that not what we're here for? Baker would be ideal as the Browns long-term QB solution, no? We risk making that evaluation even more difficult by continuing to walk him out there.

So Coach of the Year last year with injuries galore will get fired end of season?
I don’t expect perfection especially under the circumstances this year but he’s had some games where play calling have been brought into question, players speaking out about the DC and some personnel moves that many don’t agree with but the track record of these issues isn’t extensive and I don’t think he’s lost control of the team.we have some players that will be shown the door I think a few coaches too, but the HC is not one of them in 2021-2022 football year.

I would have started Keenum to keep Baker from getting more than one surgery required for next year....
but Keenum would not have helped them win that game.
Same wr's, same field goal kicker....
nope.

Well in fairness, as usual, the discussion boils down to fact not actually in evidence. The shoulder injury won't be better until it's repaired surgically. So the buy week doesn't much matter.
Question one. How much does it actually affect his play.
Question 2 what are the odds of the injury becoming worse or irreparable if he plays out the season? How much does the brace protect him?
Question 3 . At this point does Keenum actually give them the better chance to win? And if Baker's shoulder is repaired now how does that affect are already slim chances at the playoffs?
And since nobody knows those answers I guess it's a crap shoot. I would hope somebody in the building making more money than I do has a better grip on it.

If the Browns lose the next game vs Baltimore, they would fall to 6-7 and pretty much would be eliminated from the AFC title contention.
They should shut Baker down and get him that surgery the following day. God forbid he keeps going out there for no reason and get his knee blown out on some suicide mission, and torpedo next season too.

Stefanski SHOULD HAVE sat Baker for last night's game so he would have two full weeks to rest and heal. Now, he's taken more of a beating and will only have a week to get himself right.
I for the life of me can't understand why Stefanski allows this to continue.

He has a torn labrum.
That isn't getting better without surgery. No amount of rest is helping it.

Season is over rest him up so we can trade him and sit back and watch our next QB tonight

It's not rocket science neo. He thought that Baker Mayfield at 80% was probably superior to case Keenum at 100% nothing but it percent nothing more nothing less.
And for you Dutchman, sure they lose the next game or 2 to what the fuck. Put in the scrubs; mail it in. Some people might respect fighting hard to win to the end, but not everybody.
Good thing Sylvester Stallone didn't write that ending into rocky.

Oh please.
Baker has been producing next to nothing for weeks now, he's obviously injured, and moral victories don't mean shit. All you boomers on here circle jerking to Baker getting the shit kicked out of him and playing like shit in the process for some weird sadomasochist fetish you all have is just plain weird.
Get him healthy and ready to roll for 2022.
