Baker Mayfield Thread
-
Baker had himself a very good day at camp yesterday, and that alone is wonderful to hear. I don't read TOO much into it, but it's still nice to hear. Also, Mary Kay Cabot reported that he hasn't thrown a pick yet at camp. THAT is very nice to read. Also, Baker appears to be developing a very nice report with Higgins, who I earlier predicted as a dark horse receiver to open eyes. I really think Kizer screwed him over big time, and Higgins is taking advantage of precision passes he's getting from the new QB's.
LOL, the below is the reason I was all aboard the Baker train pre draft. Plenty athletic enough, and by the time you make it to the pros, you're either accurate- or you're not. Primary reason I wanted nothing to do with bazooka arm scattershot Josh Allen. There would have been serious pissin' and moanin' here if we had drafted the media darling everyone thought we were going to take. https://www.nj.com/jets/index.ssf/2018/07/watch_during_jets_sam_darnold_holdout_josh_mccown.html
"Baker's deadly accurate with the ball,'' said Jackson. "So is Tyrod and so is Drew. I think our guys have been throwing some pinpoint passes, so the receivers, all you've got to do is be in the right spot at the right time, they'll put the ball in place where you get a chance to catch it. So that's been good.''

I think...it was me that told you that Josh Allen would struggle in the pros.... I think, maybe....

Ya see Cal- they should have just hired me way back to have draft input. We wouldn't have drafted Quinn, We-done, and Johnny. EDIT: & how could I forget, especially Deshone Kizer. That one almost made me barf. And we would have drafted LaDanian Tomlinson. I was on the Wentz wagon, but I guess having to wait a couple years to get Baker, it's sort of a wash....

Just tooting my own horn.
I liked Baker before you. Nanananana.
Go Browns..
Hahaha, I’d probably do the same thing right now if I created this thread, I’m a little jealous haha
This might be a draft class with more than 1 awesome QB. Rosen and Darnold(who is still 21 years old), and even Allen could turn into something with time.
But Mayfield is making you and BUDDY BOY look like a genius so far. I think most people wondered how he would transfer from the OU spread to facing NFL defenses.
It has become apparent that Baker has, as cliche as it gets : the “it factor”
its also important to note and probably an unpopular opinion/fact? :
The Browns have the most talented roster of the Jets, Cardinals, and Bills. (Especially after firing Hue/Haley.)

Lord knows I’ve been wrong on a CRAP-TON of players, but I will definitely toot my horn with Baker. I’m too lazy to look up when I was shouting for him, but I think it was in March of this year. Not only that, I didn’t even feel like it was that CLOSE. I loved hearing the quote from Gregg Williams this week when he said something like, “I knew Baker was going to throw it well in warm-ups because I HEARD him throwing before I SAW him throwing. The ball was making a “ssssssssssssssst” sound as it cut through the air.” That’s what I’m talking about! Now, I’m kind of in the camp that feels arm strength is a bit overrated, but I think it’s fair to say that not many people truly knew just how strong his arm is, and that allows him to confidently access tight windows (and cut through Cleveland weather). Perhaps more impressive is the fact that Baker doesn’t just throw the fast-ball. He’s demonstrated throughout the season the ability to put touch on the ball, drop passes over LB’s, and now showing his deep passing skills.
Baker also has what really can’t be taught, and that’s pocket presence. A good example of this was the 51 yard bomb to Landry. On the play, Greg Robinson initially gets beat a little by a terrific speed rush to the outside. Instead of panicking, Baker simply drifts over to where the speed-rusher just WAS, and Robinson does a masterful job of planting the guy into the ground. Also, Robinson shoved the guy JUST enough when he got close to Baker, and that little shove was enough to push the guy outside of Baker’s bubble, and then Greg finished him off. I don’t think Greg Robinson will ever be a “great” tackle, as he panics too much and grabs. Once you get the reputation for holding, the refs will be looking at you. On several of Greg’s holds, the replay shows he didn’t HAVE to. If he can stop panicking, he could be a mid-level LT for us, and we already know Baker likes him.
The truly fascinating aspect of Baker’s game is obviously his accuracy. I went back and watched all of his videos titled “Every Throw/Rush from Baker” on Youtube. Each video is about 4 minutes long, and they show every play by Baker in the designated game. It’s pretty cool actually, and I’m glad someone took the time to cut the video segments. Anyways, what immediately stands out when you watch him throw is how the ball almost always gets to his target in a near perfect location. It’s uncanny. The ball isn’t low, it’s not behind, the receivers don’t have to jump, they’re not diving low…the ball is simply where it needs to be. Now of course Baker isn’t PERFECT, and he’ll have some throws that are errant, but those are incredibly rare. In fact, it’s SHOCKING just how rare those are when you watch the videos. Baker is also adept at throwing while on the run, and look no further than the Breshad Perriman reception at the end of the game Sunday. When you slow down that play and look at the tiny window he had to use, and then factor in he was running….crazy.
What’s our offense missing? Not much. The truly frustrating thing is we’re basically missing a “Josh Gordon” type player. I’m not trying to start a fight, and I’m not saying we were wrong to trade him, I’m just saying we could use a dangerous, big, and fast WR on the outside. If we had someone that could strike fear into the back of the defense, that could open things up even more for Landry and company. I like our TE’s, and I even like our WR’s for the most part. The biggest problems I have with our team on the defensive side of the ball, and I think we’ll be addressing that in the very near future.

Go Browns..
We also know Mayfield wouldn't have been available at 4. We see why PFF called him their #1.
As well, I'm happier with Mayfield/Chubb than Anyone/Barkley which is how it would have played out.
What’s our offense missing?
Two competent OT's......
We do have that WR already.. Perriman was a first-rounder for a reason. He didn't work out in BAL, but you saw all of the speed/size mismatch on display the first play of the game. Yes it's always good to improve the WR group but we simply don't have a "glaring need" at WR any more.

Hopefully that light bulb went on for him. If he lives up to his draft status now, and with he and Calloway, the Browns could have some serious downfield long range weapons.

That'll last about a year or two.

It’s funny, as I typed my previous message about the WR’s, the same exact thought about Perriman crossed my mind. I have been extremely pleased with his progress and his ability to catch the ball. He hasn’t had the volume of receptions, but certainly some of the catches he has were very difficult and imperative to our success. Running under a 60 yard bomb (in the air) and catching it in stride is NOT easy, and he hauled it in on our first play, just like he’s caught everything this year. What I don’t want to happen is for Perriman to drop one, and then have his confidence shattered. THAT concerns me. But really, you could be dead on about him, and I love his personality, his humbled demeanor, and the skill-set he brings to the team. I said just the other day that I believe Perriman could actually provide MORE to our offense, and the only reason we haven’t gotten more is our offense spreads the ball around so darn much when it’s clicking. Some of the best games we’ve had on offense are when Baker completes passes to 8-9 different guys, and it’s difficult to build up substantial numbers when so many are in on the action.
I like Perriman, and I REALLY want him to work out for us. I love a good comeback story, and this guy could be a supremely good addition to our team.

Yea man he’s making the most of his opportunity so far.
I’m amazed how this team went from almost leading the league in drops to everyone suddenly having some reliable hands.
The Gregg Williams effect?

It looks here like his girl has a serious surgery scar on her right side. Appendicitis?
Noticed that- but since you brought it up.... Even back in the old stone age surgery days, that scar is in the wrong place.... Now they do video and yank your appendix out through belly button. Can even remove your gall bladder the same way.
More likely a childhood injury- accidentally getting speared on a fence or something like that- would be my guess. My pal has a huge scar on his hip where some horse play tossing around chunks of broken glass took a chunk out of his hip.

Also surgical techniques 15+ yrs ago left an order of magnitude larger scar than today.. My pyloric stenosis left me a 3" scar but today the result would be barely noticeable even without clothes.

Some of those little scars are well let's call them tire inflators. They have to pump your tummy up like a balloon so they have enough room to manuever around in there.

Well ... I was diagnosed with a Tumor in my right kidney (via CT) And... a couple of cysts in the other... My Dr. is sending me to the big boys at University Hospital to figure out how this will be extracted.. one Dr. is suggesting Cryo-Ablation... But my primary Dr. said hes not crazy about that, he wants a 2nd opinion,. So hes sending me to one of the best , if not the best in the city to handel this.. Still unknown if its benign or malignant... I assume a biopsy is next.. "sigh'..... So far.. it's only stage 1
