Mayfield Lays an egg sunday?
Im personally trying to temper expectations for sunday and if he plays bad its not the end of the world. I can see this board just exploding and ghoolie transforming back into the toxic sludge beast.
Talk about the pressure on this kids back.
I would crumble like when Im playing golf when I realize im 2 over with 4 to play and bogey out.
Lol.
Hopefully he is the kind of kid who thrives on pressure. He seems like it.
Mayfield Lays an egg sunday?
He hits the film hard and preps for Week 5...
Agreed. Trubisky looks like he struggled more than the rookie QBs did last week. I saw that game because a lot of my players on my fantasy team appropriately named Drink Beer were in that game. Trubisky was way off target on guys that were open down field while many of his completions weren't in places that enabled YAC over YUCK. That team looks like they want to get their passing game out of a sand box but Trubisky just can't quite enable them to do so. When I see Taylor Gabriel with 5 catches for just 25 yards a week or 2 ago - I see a LOT of speed being held hostage.
Now you went and made Gipper cry... or at least be sad.
And what's up with not Drink(ing) Beer in a Browns Board FFL?
Apologies if you are, but results have not been posted in the Weekly Results thread.

I see no reason to kill the cat after one given Sunday..? (me-ouch!) But sure some will here..TT did not practice all week due to protocol & now back issues. Ty will be the first to tell ya, his gametape sucks against the Jets.The Jets knew what to do with TY..Ty was his steady sometimes sloppy self week 1 & 2. Maybe he should have kicked fg's? Heck, it can only put a fire back under his butt to get better as a team captain. And it showed after his benching at Bills last season getting to playoffs "if needed". Dancing Drew Stanton will now switch inactive spots with Ty and he has won games in the NFL. We really sit in a better spot at QB than most teams.. After all the hours of watching Bakers Sooner gamefilm am really excited to see him play. My 2 concerns are still the same & the wait should not take long ..A)Protect the pigskin feeling pocket heat before #51 Bruce Irving (Bitonio recovery has happened once in years)...B)Can Bake continue to get the ball threw DL windows with no tips(have we ever seen one hit the ground?) If ya look around the schedule this week? I'd say Baker has the best chance at a Win this week of the top 4 QB's taken..Not kicking off at 1PM will drive us all nutz..

its on haley. He's gotta know raiders safeties are gonna push up on those slants and curls baker was killing the jets with amd dare him to throw over them.
play north football todd. Run up.their butt then let the kid throw what the defense is giving him.

Kvoethe.......dude.......you haven't been paying attention to the ghool. Mayfield is the schidt. There is no more "if he plays bad". Bro, when his career.is over, many years from now, you will have a hard time.remembering when he played bad. He has the quickest read and release I jave seen since Fouts or Marino.
The fukcking raiders aren t going to win. You think Williams D is good? Wait till youbsee them with a double digit lead and the rest and adrenaline that comes with watching your O eat the clock .
The Raiders got yo 0-4 and gruden schidts his pants. Now go vote for me.
The Cleveland Browns have the hardest hit players in the NFL -
My thing is Haleys starting game plan...it has to be a confidence builder..
Start off with runs and high percentage completions...
I dont want to see him in the shotgun trying to throw dimes from the first play from scrimmage...asking him to thread the needle.. high risk stuff.

I just don't see Baker laying an egg.. In fact.. I think this game is gonna be Antonio Callaway's breakout party....

That would've been last week if Baker was throwing those two bombs that Tyrod short-armed. Callaway was OPEN.

You are absolutely wrong. The EXACT thing to do when you have a 50 caliber machine gun is to come out shooting the fukck out of it. WHo needs a confidence builder?
Dude, why do you have to speak in Euphemisms? WHy just say schidt that you have heard from TV analysts? WHo are YOU to assume that Baker needs anything but GTF out of his way and let his skill set lead the way? Baker doesn't need his confidence built. The guy is already Sock-sure of what he is doing. Don't be a pussy.
What he NEEDS to do, is exactly what comes naturally to him. SLING THE PILL, SLing it until Gruden's azzhole bleeds . What Baker needs to do is put up a 2 minute touchdown drive RIGHT OUT OF THE BOX.................. he needs to put Gruden the homosexual child molester back on his azz............... BOOM............ bitchslap him from the opening bell. Set the tone and FUKCK THE RAIDERS TO HELL.
Dude, don't be a pussy. This isn't Tyrod Tarkenton we are talking about. Baker already faced the test of fire. He pisszed on it and shoved it up the Jet's asss. Jeez, dude, if you were coach of Mike Tyson in his great years, woudl you tell him to just go out and build confidence for a few rounds?
Sorry man, the Browns have been without a QB for 19 year. TIME TO ENLEASH HELL on everyone. he Browns will win this by 24 points. Get ready to watch the police of Oaklan order a rape kit for Gruden's torn and tattered vagina. Fukck going slow. Fukc Gruden.

He definitely does have a quick release, no denying that. He should also have a bit of time, as the Raiders have had some difficulty rushing the QB. I don't see Baker "Struggling" per say, but I also don't think he'll be quite as on fire as last week. Playing on the road typically makes everything harder for QBs, and that crappy field is the pits. I guess I'm just trying to have realistic expectations. One part of me says, "If Baker threw the ball so well last week WITHOUT any practice reps, then surely he plays better THIS week after getting every rep, right?"
But then the other part of me says, "He's a rookie on the road against a desperate team. He's going to take a little step back, which is only normal." I literally can't wait to find out how not only HE plays, but how our entire TEAM plays with Baker at the helm after an emotional victory. Success isn't something we've had to handle in a LONG while, ya know? Will we come out cold like usual? Will we have the same sense of urgency we had against the Jets? I hope so.
Yes, road games can be funny things. Balls don't bounce your way, penalties seem to be more prevalent, and crowd noise can be a problem. One thing is for sure, Baker is definitely used to playing in hostile environments. I think he'll settle right in, relatively quick. Wanna know who might be Baker's best friend today? Duke Johnson. Get Duke involved early and often on some short, easy throws and see if he can get some extra yards. And I hope we run it with Duke multiple times, too.
My biggest concern for Baker and the offense is punching it in while in the red zone. That's generally where rookies struggle, and we saw a little bit of that last week when Baker forced that one pass into the end zone that probably should have been picked off. On that play, our offensive line protected incredibly well, and Baker had time. In fact, if he would have held it a tad longer, he would have seen Higgins flashing open across the middle. But, he got away with it and I'm pretty he'll learn from that near pick.
One thing is for sure, this is as excited as I've been in a long time. No matter what happens in this game, I'm going to be pumped for our future. Haven't felt like this in forever. WOOF WOOF!

Then he lays an egg. Mayfield is still a rookie. The last game showed a lot of promise. Hopefully, he doesn’t hit any speed bumps and has a great year. But Baker is a rookie and these things happen.

As much as I enjoy your nipples getting twisted - that was a FUN read with a great point about Baker. Don't hold his strength hostage - use it!
One of the reasons Brees preferred the shotgun aside from his college coach keeping him in it was because it increased the peripheral vision from the pre-snap read until he released the ball. When his first 2-3 years didn't go as well, they square pegged - round hole him to direct snap under center way beyond his comfort zone to the extent SD drafted a QB first overall after-all. A lot that could have been avoided, if they just played to his strengths before his 4th NFL season. I've been saying all along Drew Brees is the QB Mayfield reminds me the most of.

Dude, I'm glad you're posting more often! You been holding a lot of talent hostage way too long in here. You and Dutch have Ghoolie on prozac and some Dr Frasier Crane's couch belly-up at least once a week.
When I used to get like that above on Sundays - sleeping was impossible. My dad used to say "you have 2 choices: Decaff or Push NY 25 times and I prefer you try both." I used to get way more nervous when the Browns played than when I played because I could at least control how I played.
Those of us that have been fans of this team long enough to remember what used to happen to our GOOD teams that were supposed to win - would end up seeing them getting trounced by someone like a Detroit team on Thanksgiving they should have rat-housed.. We were supposed to get acid reflux AFTER the meal not before it.
One of the reasons Mayfield energized everyone is because he showed teammates if you give him a reasonable amount of effort doing their part - he'd make stuff happen other QBs haven't been able to here. Then it became a SYNERGISTIC effect where guys started digging down just a little bit deeper with effort because Baker's performance rewarded them for doing so. We haven't had any recent examples of responding to a regular season win in September to see if the team can bring the same blue collar play to the whistle mentality. If they show up looking like they remember what it took to beat the Jets - I'll have all the confidence in the world that it doesn't matter how desperate the Raiders are. Winning 2 games in a row after enduring 1-31 football would not suck...
