Browns To Name Baker Mayfield Starter Monday
-
Can you imagine if Hue actually came out on Monday and said Tyrod will continue as our starter?
Even Hue, the quarterback mumbler couldn't do that.
----------------------
Just after the game Josh McCown met Baker on the field and had some words for him. I'd love to know what Josh said to him. He's a real pro that Josh!

Sales equals dollars. Haslam ain't that dumb.

He’s number 30 since ‘99. So yeah that would be nice. THIRTY

Is this the savior for whom Cleveland has clamored for so long?
A reporter couldn't even finish the question about it before Mayfield dismissed the thought of the past Monday.
"It's 2018," Mayfield said. "I don't really care."

There really was no doubt...

why was someone earlier in this thread surprised by bakers arm? that wasnt the qyestion about him coming out of college. In fact i read his arm was close to Allens, its just his size that had people worried.
Im hoping haley takes the training wheels off that arm when defenses put 9 guys in the box like the jets did. Let the kid show the NFL he can hit calloway in stride deep

Hopefully next time he doesn’t let it go through his arms.

During which play was Tyrod get concussed? I didn’t see it unless it was quite a few series earlier in the game.
Just mused on that in a new thread.
He took two "shots" to the helmet: an early forearm from a Jet DB as he slid and front of helmet "bumped" the ground at end of the sack he took on his last play.
Neither looked to me to be concussive and the forearm looked the worse of the two.
Cumulative maybe?
Or...

He honestly looked like a guy who knew his fate and accepted it. All the stuff that made TT good went down the tube here in Cleveland (accuracy, low turnovers/sacks, etc). My best guess is having the #1 pick breathing down your neck was pressure the guy wasn't used to and it got to him. I think after that last hit though he realized he might as well slide into the reality.
TT is a strong back-up, and I'm still very glad he's on the roster. I think if needed and without the pressure he could come in and be the Tyrod that led Buffalo. Hopefully TT can appreciate being a back-up because I'd be happy with him as #2 compared to about any other team in the NFL. He's about to be 30 after this year so I strongly doubt someone will bring the guy in for a starting competition. I suppose we shall see though.

During which play was Tyrod get concussed?
It was his final play and (was it) the play before? Two plays.
It was questioned if TyRod took a dive. - The guy came to work before the janitors...and stayed late. He wants to play. He HAD to know that once Baker entered the game, the possibility existed that he would never come out. - And so now, it is written in stone.
There's been chatter of us trading Tyrod to SanFran. I cannot picture SF looking in Tyrod's direction at all....unless they figure they're gonna pack it in, get a high draft pick, and wait for Jimmy next year.
This is why they're trying SOOoo hard to protect the QB's. SanFran is pretty much Phucked now. And look what Baker did for our team. If that's anything close to Baker's actual level of play then, look what would happen to us if he got hurt. We'd be the 0-15-1 looking Browns under Tyrod.
BEING A BROWNS FAN IS A TEST TO SEE HOW MUCH YOU CAN TAKE -
whatever happened to tyrod happened at least 5 mins before he came out. And i know that cause the people sitting behong the brownscbench all saw baker looking at his arm plays after every play tyrod stayed in for so he knew exactly where they were on the progression. U saw the immediate change in his demeanor. I wish there was video of it, u all would be in awe. The broadcast didnt catch on for a couple minutes that baker might be gearing up to come in

Yes, I wouldn't question his heart or desire for a second. Honestly it would be easier if he were lazy or a douche. He has been ALL about the Browns from the second he got here.

TT is no dummy. I agree with your take that he saw Baker's abilities & growth & folded under the pressure.
We'll see what happens, but with injuries, Dorsey may well get some calls regarding TT's availability.

Baker & Tyrod differences:
Baker will see the covered receiver and decide if and where he could put the ball so that his receiver could adjust to it and make the catch. - Tyrod would not try that.
Baker will leave the pocket and keep looking downfield expecting a receiver to dart to an open spot for the pass. Tyrod will leave the pocket and look for a lane to run in.
---------------------
On Tyrod's long pass attempt to Callaway against the Jets, he underthrew the ball...and he raised his hands a bit to show that he thought Callaway should have made an attempt to go for the ball instead of awaiting it to fall in his breadbasket. And he was right. I mean, Baker's gonna underthrow passes now and then, ya think? Callaway's a rookie, but he still had to know that there was a defender running with him...and he saw that the ball was underthrown....... Like Haley yelled at Coleman in TC, "Ya gotta go fight for that ball". - Perhaps Callaway learned somethin' there.

Nah, Tyrod was trying- but not doing very well at all.
It was his final play and (was it) the play before? Two plays.

They've taken "protecting the QB" to an absurd level. I still don't think the rules guys have any clue how a defensive player going full bore can avoid a penalty if he so much as touches a QB. Jimmy- and Wentz before him got sidelined on hits that I really thought were minor.

Not what I saw , the long ball to Callaway was grossly underthrown he had defender beat by 5 yards at full speed T Rod just doesn’t have the arm to make that play

enough tape for Hue & me?
guys are open..read pre-snap than grip it & rip it..Ball to Callaway was so badly thrown,ref would not give up a gift flag..(cuz were the browns)
