Mayfield is no Brees
-
I agree Tom. But a ban for it? (I know you did not suggest that). Nah. But certainly reprimands from other members like myself and others. Doesn't mean he gets it yet, but he should. There are some things that are sacrosanct.
I don't advocate bans ever, save tongue in cheek, like asking Roach to be banned for beating me in pool. But the guy needs to understand the difference between guy BS and reality. So kids are easy to taint into tantrums. Dutch Oven is one of those feeble minds.
-
Dutch, as an uninvested 3rd party who has appreciated the extreme smacktalk on this board for years (including some of your work), that was an uncomfortable moment.
Feel free to give me crap for that, but just saying it was when “ooh, good one!” went to an awkward “oh...” And suddenly not as fun to read.

I went to Purdue and saw the majority of Brees’ games. Brees was a tennis player, which many believe helped with his footwork. Rosen was also a top tennis player. Mayfield is a clown who went against miserable B12 defenses and who won’t do anything in the NFL. Dumb pick.
Ok, so you don't like the guy. Ask me if I care what you like.
If Baker was a inch or two taller, the only QB discussion the last few months would have been about who was going after him.
Mayfield was clearly the best choice we could make. No doubt we are going to have to structure some things that play to his strengths. That is why we traded for Tyrod Taylor. He and Baker are similar. Looking back, Tyrod was signed knowing we were going to take Baker.
Add in the fact we don't have dimwit Hue calling plays in his vertical O and have Haley who is more flexible in molding the O around the players on the roster, this is going to work out well.

Absolutely correct. Two inches makes all the difference in some minds...and it is understandable why. But in this case it didn't matter. Dorsey made an executive decision.
It ain't the meat, its the motion....that hopefully makes the Brownies want to rock.

Another excellent point. ANY choice would cause skepticism if Hue had retained the play calling duties. Now, hopefully...plays will be called that are not constantly head scratchers.

I do agree that Baker is much less athletic than JFF, which is why Baker had to learn how to play QB to the extent he has.
Nonsense....Johnny's character WOULD HAVE prevented him from being good, but character issues aside JM didn't have the requisite nfl skill set anyways.
JM was another undersized qb with an unfavorable release point to boot who had an average arm. He could have been the highest character guy ever and still wouldn't have been shite as an nfl qb, thus it had little to do with his inability to be a successful nfl qb. It had a lot to do with amplifying all the negativity and bad press, but that has nothing to do with my origina statement.
We'll see on Baker....I think the most likely comp is Jeff Garcia. If he turns out to be that I'd be content.

One thing that gets me on Drew Brees he's 39 and signed a two year contract extension, whoa.
He must really love the game he and his family for generations to come certainly don't need the additional money.

And there it is in a nutshell. Hue sucked as a HC/OC. He should have just stuck to HC and trust whomever he got for OC. Glad someone came to their senses whether it was Hue or someone else that made that decision to hire an OC.
Now, hopefully...plays will be called that are not constantly head scratchers.

Now that's a reasonable take, but it's also in opposition to your earlier one. My bottom line is that JFF's low character fed the poor work ethic which restricted the skill set. The two are inseparable.
Garcia is an interesting comp.
As an aside I'm chuckling at remembering all the "hard worker", "first guy in the building" testimonials shoveled at us by the Manzealot hoard.

it is. Maybe Mayfield sees the field even faster than Garcia did.
I can see Mayfield coaching kids one of these days about quarterbacking like Garcia:

Semi-fair comment, but were you even here when we drafted Wheezy? There were few that embraced him pre-draft. There were more than a few who "he's ours now" embraced him. But there were a lot of us who were confident he was the mistake he turned out to be.
I'm sorry, that was vague, it was on the message board mjp, Coyote and I were previously on for years that generally wanted nothing to do with Weeden on Wednesday before the draft, but by Friday morning miraculously "slept on it" and decided it was a shrewd move by the Browns. I see a similar reaction to Mayfield. I'm not expecting people to riot, but just asking for a little consistency.
I'm intrigued by the Baker Mayfield Experiment. He was definitely 3rd on my list, but he's not Josh Allen, so thank dog for small miracles...

I am just a fan...that's right. That hopes that the players that my team selected do well. I also hope that they stay clean...and am willing to see that they are given a chance to do so.
So, no, I am not a judgmental, pluperfect prick buggerer who thinks he has a monopoly on righteousness.
And if you don't like the way American sports fans conduct themselves....then go find another sport.
I am sure that the Cricketeers would be glad to have you. That seems like a sport for pious, pompous, tight sphinctered, sanctimonious, pretentious pharisees like you.

As you continue swilling PBR and counting your welfare checks so shall I continue supporting and cheering for whichever Sport that *I* choose. Save the cult cowpoop about being a blind follower or not following at all.

Garcia married very well indeed for a gay guy...

You are the one that says he wants blind obeisance to some unattainable standard that you seem to want to impose...on players/fans. A standard you certainly fall far short of yourself. I don't see, based on that...that there is anything or anyone out there for you to root for.
(by the way...they are Social Security checks now...which I worked very hard to earn)
OH WAIT....by the way....maybe there is a guy:
Tim Tebow is playing for the Binghamton team at the Akron Rubber Ducks. So, you should go root for him.
He is a young man with character. Ain't worth spit as either a pro football player or baseball player. But he was good at his level....and so you should stick to your level: only follow holy rollers with minor league talent.
