Mayfield..cant handle fan chatter..

mjp28

Mayfield may have great quarterbacking skills but he needs to mature as a true team leader.

Spirit, no problem but he needs to have more self control.

I can’t understand what the Cincinnatucki fans are saying.

hopefully next year Baker ignores the chatter performs well and stays out of the media cross hairs

This is part of the package that is Baker... for now. It's part of his process of getting fired up.

I've no doubt he did the same in BLT and PTG this season.

He may grow out of it, but you can't coach it out of him.

The NFL has a way of teaching arrogant young players humility. Bakers attitude motivates defenders to a higher degree of effort/aggression in my opinion.

It definitely scares me, and as an athlete, you have to know people will unfortunately say WHATEVER they can in order to get under someone's skin. It's ugly, sad, and being an athlete shouldn't entitle a person to receiving verbal punishment. I can really see Baker losing his shit one day and it hurting the team. Either when he's out on the town, drunk with friends, or whatever. Somebody will try to piss Baker off, and he'll eventually take the bait.

True. And his 243 commercials, I think.

Oh, Baker isn't perfect, but a lot of leaders are envied for being who they are, and there surely

are nutjobs who want to get a piece of famous action with them for some stupidass reason.

It's part of their frustrating season.

But he is very, very smart - he'll grow out of it.

to a point. lol

Sophomore slump...if he is as ballsy as he claims he is...he will come back stronger.

Is anyone forgetting...we did NOT have a nice New England schedule...im just saying

I will never understand why people think this only goes on here. It happens in every stadium to every team.

Besides, here is how he WILL handle it:

“Why don’t you say that to my face” is straight outta the 12 year old’s handbook of retorts.

If my QB is hellbent on juvenile smack talk like this, l would prefer he use the 8 year old’s handbook of retorts.

“Oh yeah, you’re a buttface!”

That would be much more amusing.

Mayfield impressed me with his maturity in how he handled the situation with Myles Garrett. Right after the Steelers game he was interviewed and said what Garrett did was inexcusable and he represented himself and the Browns team well. I like his passion which is a strength not a weakness.

Pretty pitiful for the whole damn team.

I still don’t understand what the exchange is here and why it was a big deal. The Yahoo article says, “Baker Mayfield totally shut down by fans!”

the Cincy fans yell “You better not lose to a one win team!”

Baker says “Come down here and say that to my face”

fan says, “We’re aren’t allowed, you know that”

Shut down by fan? WTF does any of that even mean? I don’t even think Baker was responding to the guy taking the video.... as that conversation makes zero sense.

Mayfield is a guy who trolled some 18 year old kid's Twitter feed because the kid had the audacity to be happy he chose to play football for the University of Texas.

I'm thoroughly sick of hearing what type of leader he is, how he does shit like this to get him psyched up, whatever. Baker is your garden variety smug frat boy asshole.

Pshaw.....if those guys do not give their highest degree of effort and aggression at all times, then they should be on the bench or on the street.

Postseason observation: Browns had #2 toughest schedule in the league....only behind Cinci. (and that was even with having 2 games vs. Cinci...who had the worst record in the league)

They played poorly against crap teams too.
