    ......and the Baker career begins.

  • 7. How many yards, touchdowns and interceptions does Baker Mayfield pass for?

    Zombo: 640, 5, 1

    jcam222: 800, 8, 1

    Tour2ma: 2974, 28, 15

    Answer: Rookie Baker Mayfield burst onto the NFL stage in the third game of the season, down 14-0 vs the Jets, and led the Browns to a come-from-behind victory. For the season he threw for 3725 yards, with 27 touchdowns and 14 interceptions. 

    Winner Winner Chicken Dinner: Oh how the NFL's passing game has progressed. Mayfield's 93.7 QB rating is the highest - easily - by any full-time starting QB for the Browns since they've returned in 1999. In fact, only ONCE did Bernie Kosar have a higher QB rating (1987), and Mayfield easily bested Kosar's best outputs in passing TDs and yards for a season. Mayfield's QB rating even bested Brian Sipe's 1980 MVP season. With even a relatively healthy career, Mayfield is going to annihilate all the Browns passing records. Once again, Tour wins. 

    And the Big Dummy Award goes to... As I said before, these questions are tricky because if a player plays way more or less than everyone expects, it throws off predictions. Bob806 didn't expect Mayfield to get any playing time. 

  • 5. How many points do the Browns score? How many do they allow?

    Zombo: 366, 302

    jcam222: 294, 180

    Tour2ma: 400, 360

    Nero: 320, 320

    Coyote: 335, 358

    mjp: 352, 320

    Bob806: 327, 318

    FlyinJ: 325, 315

    Flugel: 416, 288

    gumby: 344, 323

    DutchOven: 275, 345

    JDailey: 320, 410

    Answer: The Browns scored 359 points (22.4/game) and allowed 392 points (24.5/game) in 2018.

    Winner Winner Chicken Dinner: In the whole scheme of things, no one is going to confuse the '18 Browns offense with the Kurt Warner Greatest Show On Turf Rams teams, but it can't be overstated how much the Browns improved. They scored an amazing 125 more points than the 0-16 season before, and the 359 points scored was the second most by the Browns since they came back in 1999. On the flip side, though, while the defense forced a decent amount of turnovers, it still gave up a ton of points. They barely shaved a point off a game from the season before. Overall, Coyote was the closest. 

    And the Big Dummy Award goes to... I have to believe that jcam222 might have confused the Gregg Williams-led defense with the '85 Chicago Bears, because WHOA NELLY, that's a helluva prediction buddy! 

    Could do a Browns' QB look...

    TT: 473 yards with 2 touchdowns, 2 interceptions. 

    BM: 3725 yards, with 27 touchdowns and 14 interceptions. 

    Total: 4193 yd 29 TD 16 INT

    Me: TT-  1020, 5, 2 + BM- 2974, 28, 15 = 3994, 33, 17 ...

    I'd probably just win again, tho... 😉

    But 275 still would have been a decent jump over 2017... At least 2 points a game improvement! 

    But yeah, I didn't see that type of jump coming.

    DutchOven: 750, 5

    JDailey: 865, 8

    Answer: Signed in the offseason to replace Isaiah Crowell - who departed in free agency - Hyde had a mediocre six games with the Browns before being traded to Jacksonville for a 5th round draft pick. He rushed for 382 yards (3.4 avg) and 5 touchdowns. 

    Winner Winner Chicken Dinner: Tired of seeing Nick Chubbs waste away on the bench while Hyde plodded his way to one 3 yard carry after another, John Dorsey forced the offensive braintrust's hand by trading Hyde away. I'll admit, I didn't quite understand why so many on here were thrilled with his signing, when all indications were that Hyde was possibly even inferior to the back he was replacing. (It was a perfect storm of Hyde being an Ohio State guy and the hatred many on here had for Crowell, I suppose.) Really no one was close enough in yards to warrant a win... there was, though, one guy who nailed his touchdown total. No half-wins!

    And the Big Dummy Award goes to... A couple of guys were a bit optimistic with their Hyde predictions... mjp with his yardage guess, Tour with his touchdowns....

  • 9. How many yards and touchdowns does Nick Chubb run for?

    Flugel: 300, 4

    gumby: 385, 3

    DutchOven: 450, 3

    JDailey:530, 5

    Answer: Rookie Nick Chubb burst onto the scene by gaining 996 yards (5.2 yds/carry) with 8 touchdowns rushing, including the Browns longest run in history - a 92 yard touchdown vs Atlanta. 

    Winner Winner Chicken Dinner: Most of us thought Chubb would play second fiddle to Hyde for the season, and if it was up to Todd Haley, he would have. John Dorsey had other plans, and when it became apparent that as long as Carlos Hyde was on the roster Chubb would be picking splinters out of his keyster, Dorsey traded Hyde. Enter the rookie, and he did not disappoint. jcam222 damn near nailed his rushing yardage, so he wins. Because Nero felt slighted on the last one, I'm going to write his name in bold here. There you go, buddy. ?

    And the Big Dummy Award goes to... A lot of us weren't really close to Chubb's season totals, but Flugel was the farthest off. 

  • If Chubb did NOT lose yardage on his last carry he would have had exactly 1,000 yards, jcam would have been right on the money.

    Answer: Jarvis Landry led the Browns in receptions with 81. Other top receivers were David Njoku (56), Duke Johnson (47), Antonio Callaway (43) and Rashard Higgins (39). 

    Winner Winner Chicken Dinner: Jarvis Landry was the overwhelming favorite, even if he had fewer receptions than most expected. That might not be the worst thing in the world, considering Mayfield's ability to spread the ball around. DutchOven almost nailed it. 

    And the Big Dummy Award goes to... I like the balls of taking someone besides Landry, but gumby's Duke Johnson prediction was nearly twice as high as what he delivered.
