  • As long as he's a Brown.. Baker is my QB...I expect him to come roaring back next season with an even bigger chip on his shoulder...

  • Can you imagine Baker with new wer weapona added to the wr group? with Stephanski being trained to be a better play caller?

    SUPERBOWL !!!

    yeah, I know.......

    It's funny, Wentz and Indy are in an eerily similar situation to the Browns. The contract situation is a little different (the Colts could save $13 million) but dead cap for cutting him outright would be $15 million. Additionally, they surrendered a 1st and 3rd round pick to scoop him up. Even down to injuries, missing games with COVID, etc the two guys are very linked together. I'm just not sure (like Cleveland) the alternative is any better than trying to upgrade, hope injuries don't creep up, and get better.

    So you are better off having no one (in essence searching for someone) rather than paying too much for average to below average QB play. 
     

    Cautionary tale with plenty of examples over the past half decade or so.

    It's definitely a tough exercise in how to navigate the Browns and Colts situations vs "the grass is greener on the other side" mentality in finding a new guy at QB.

    Jared Goff and Jimmy G both went to a Super Bowl recently. I think a healthy Baker Mayfield (or Wentz, candidly) have this ceiling in them if the pieces around are fit perfectly. Honestly, the Browns are in a perfectly good 'make or break' contract with Mayfield. He's not going to request a new contract, and the Browns don't have to give him one. I agree though that Wentz is a big time cautionary tale on not giving the bag too early.

    I'd agree, just add "after he deletes his Twitter" after the word "shoulder" ?

  • All QB's not named Brady and Mahomes need things to fit perfectly in order for them to be champions... What part of "It's a team game" do you people NOT understand?

    Even then, Brady had Gronk, and now Godwin, and Mahomes has Tyreek Hill and Travis Kelce.....

    Throwing or non throwing shoulder?

  • Staley fucked up big time but.....The Raiders HC attempting the FG is the worst coaching call I think I have ever seen. He literally took his teams chances of being in the playoffs from 100% guaranteed to less than that and that is beyond stupid

    I think ole Huey was calling in the decisions to both sides.?

    I'll 1\2 agree with Vagitron's comment you play to win. But if the Raiders had that FG miss or get blocked, coach would have been ridden out of Vegas on a rail.  BTW, Cynthia Freelund has the Steeler's chances at winning the Super Bowl at 0.3% (Raiders only slightly better). 😁 

    I really will hate rooting for "That Team Down South" Saturday, but those Rovin' Radurs need to be sent packing ASAP.
