Mayfield conspiracy

Meh. First of all I'm not sold on the "not their pick" chatter.
Berry and Depo were in the room when they picked him and were very much on board.
No NFL team ever is going to play an injured guy so that he looks bad and it's easier to appease the fans when you dump him.
They just don't think he is Championship caliber. If you are going to play injured, you need to perform... He simply did not play well, and they want to upgrade to a better caliber qb while they have this championship caliber roster.

But there's got to be some reason did they send him out week after week after week knowing full well he was hurt.
And maybe a week ago I would not have suspected subterfuge no knowing what a bunch of weasels the front office is I'm not so sure.
Players don't pick when they start and when they don't.

Baker was pretty fucked up last season. There was no reason to trot him out there with keenum in the wings. He’s not a hall of famer, he’s not at the end of his career. You park his ass.

Just announced he wants traded. Does anyone blame him?? He busted his azz for us and the FO hangs him out to dry by pursuing for a rapist.
Good luck to ya Baker!! Go win someplace else!!

#Browns have told Baker Mayfield's agent they are NOT accomodating his request, a league source tells clevelanddotcom -
If I recall, Watson was also under contract for 2021.
I think if Baker wants to press the issue, he can retire for the 2022 season.

Anyone with half a brain saw that coming.
Browns get what they deserve. Hope they have to trot out the next 15 backups for pulling this crap.
Should have lined up a trade last week before it even came out that they were going to see Watson.
I hope it comes out that Haslem was behind the whole thing and Berry packs his bags.
Screw these clowns. Amari Cooper looking for his next team already.

The Browns should have let Mayfield play out his contract and then make a decision at the end of the year. We simply did not have the draft capital to get one of these QBs. And it would have been good to know that Watson wants to stay in the south to save us the trouble of even making an offer. This was poorly handled.
-
And here we are again, back to being the laughing stock of the league. All because we got turned down by a sexual predator who very likely never was coming here in the first place.
If you don’t like that, you don’t like Browns football baby.

That's why I think this was all Jimmah. No way Berry didn't see this coming.
Baker has all the leverage here. All he has to tell any team that the Browns want to trade him to is that he won't sign any extensions. Or not play. Or play and walk at the end of the year... And the Browns get nothing
-
I can't believe Berry went with this asswholeness.
what a clusterfook.
-
Some of us had serious questions quite a while ago when the Browns, even after the Browns went to the playoffs in 2020, didn't make a contract extension offer to Baker.
I'm starting to think that if Mayfield didn't have that second half hot stretch in '20 the QB search would have started last offseason.

Per NFL Network's Tom Pelissero:
"Jimmy Haslam offered to fly to Mayfield's hometown of Austin, TX to try to mend fences, but Mayfield declined the offer."
You can't make this shit up. Hope you all enjoyed that playoff victory over the Steeler's last year because I have a sick feeling we won't be sniffing the playoffs for a long time.

It’s okay folks…We can replace a QB like Baker.

For a stopgap, I'd take Garoppolo or Winston.
Hell, Winston went 5-2 for the Saints last year, with 14 touchdowns against 3 interceptions.

I believe Jimmy G just underwent shoulder surgery, and won’t be able to throw until July.

Oh that's right....
I'd take Matt Ryan if Watson goes to Atlanta.

So now all of a sudden we find out the front office wanted to shed Mayfield all season long. After all he wasn't Andrew Berry's pic anyway. Many people complain that Baker should have sat when he got hurt and let the mighty Case Keenum lead us to the promised land. Many thought that it was Baker's decision to make as to who started which is not the case. Players don't decide who starts at their position. Let's say it's true Mayfield was actually physically unable to play but stefanski started him anyway. Let's say for the sake of argument we might have won another game or two with Keenum. Why would Stefanski the medical team and the front office start Baker every game knowing they had less of a chance to be victorious? Here's the conspiracy. They did so to make him look bad so the fans wouldn't freak out when they dumped him. If he'd gotten surgery halfway through the season and then got dumped it would really seem like he never got a chance.
