    After working hard to get comfortable with him over the past few weeks, I watched some of his recent interviews yesterday and was appalled.

    Uh oh, why's that may I ask Tour?

    Absolutely zero humility... absolutely zero genuineness.

  • Rex Ryan and Bill Polian just ripped Mayfield at #1 apart...

    Rex: "He's not Drew Brees." "The NFL is a size-speed league and Mayfield has neither."

    Bill: "He's not Riussell Wilson"

    If scouts are looking at tape of UCLA's defense to evaluate Josh Rosen - I sincerely hope they're not our's. I've never read or heard any draft analyst or scout say UCLA's defense is the concern about Rosen so I don't see why it's brought up as one all the time.  For example, he got more credit than Darnold did in their 2017 head to head when UCLA lost to USC 28-23.

    If anything, a bad defense can keep a prolific passer in a bunch of shoot-outs he wants on center stage.

    First, c'mon... you don't have to spend time on the tape looking at a given D to figure out why they give up tons of points, just note the QBs role, if any, in contributing to their poor showing. And that can be noted from the study of the QB. A poor D simply puts added pressure on a QB before he ever steps onto the field. So again I say that once you bring in considerations other than the QB, you cannot ignore the D.

    Agree that bad D can force a QB into hero role... but it also sets him up to be the "goat"... not to be confused with the G.O.A.T.

    Not sure if this makes sense as a reply.

    But the QB for sure can lead to a really shitty defense.  The Browns offense for years is a perfect example...  If a QB and the offense are constantly going 3 and out, and the defense never gets any rest, this is of course going to lead to a shitty defense on a lot of levels.

    We get the ball first and our O goes 3 and out. Defense steps up and does a good job and maybe they get them out on the 2nd set of downs.. We are up on O and then 3 and out. Again our D steps up and stops them before they get into FG range... Our O is pinned back and goes 3 and out. Punt leaves our D already on our side of the field.. They bend don't break and give up a FG..

    By the 4th quarter the D is exhausted and we are down by 21. They are forced to blitz blitz ... And then we get smoked with big downfield throws and suddenly we lost 35 to 3 or if we are lucky 35 to 10 in junk time...

    A bad QB/Offense is the chicken before the egg.

  • Great interview with The Call... I really liked his responses and he didn't get baited into saying stupid things.. Look like he was confident without being a finger.  Just 1 interview..

  • I'm thinking this is a big smoke screen to see if someone wants to move up. There is no way this front office is dumb enough to draft Baker Mayfield #1.....🤔

    I can't imagine that it would be worthwhile as a smoke screen. If Mayfield were their guy, why in the world would they trade him for draft picks? If he's not there guy then whoever was going to trade up to number one could probably get a better deal on number 2.

  • If they’re going to get Mayfield then don’t draft a quarterback Mayfield is not a transformative Talent from what I can see they’re just getting a quarterback to get a quarterback instead get the two best talents in the draft Barkley and Chubb Because Mayfield is going to be a bust

  • I'm just not gonna believe it until the card is turned in.  I find it too hard to believe that ownership would sign off on another punk kid.

    Oooohhhh wowie Rexie doesn't like Baker? Traded up for Mark Sanchez. Personal foul, unnecessary stupidity...  😆

  • with sam Darnold you do not hear about any stupid tweets or see him on tmz it just makes to much sense to draft him compared to a bum like mayfield

  • With the first pick of the 2018 draft the browns pick another qb cause baker was a bust. 

  • B Babernakle

    With the first pick of the 2018 draft the browns pick another qb cause baker was a bust. 

    Had we kept JFF and not picked up Stanton, then Mayfeld would be our tallest QB... so there's that.

    First, this is the 2018 Draft.

    Second, we won't likely have a verdict on Baker by the 2019 Draft.

  • Earlier ESPN showed a clip of Baker taking a snap under center in a Goal line situation.

    Looked like a dog with a broke hind leg. It was hilarious.
