Mayfield..cant handle fan chatter..

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.

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.

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

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.

Are you saying effort and emotion are steady and not up and down ? If I were to look across the line and yell......" ALL YOUR LINEBACKERS ARE BITCHES", I will be the focus of increased intensity. You must not have participated in many contact sports. Some players are sleeping dogs. Arrogant punks wake them up sometimes.

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.
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.

And that could be the day Baker matures...
It really felt to me like Baker came into 2019 more than a little satisfied with himself and had to generate his game-fueling "passion" (read "anger") by unnatural means. And it's understandable since it was the first year he did not have to battle for his job, had a new wife/life and the love of an entire city.
For 2020 he's got plenty of fuel. Let's see what he does with it.

What's his fuel though?
Most of his issues this season were self-inflicted.

Not looking like an idiot?
Watching your QB handing more INTs than TDs and making more commercials than big plays is quite embarrassing.
Shut the chatter with your game, Baker.
You, as of today, are literally a nobody.

It's funny you say that because I too felt like he tried to almost manufacture anger or strife so he could get pumped. Definitely felt that way to me.

........but......but.... six sacks....three picks....the Bengals ? I'm just saying.
Yeah...but that Browns defense!

Dude, our defense was nauseating to watch. The Cardinals game was the one where I knew we were officially effed.

I say that their effort should be steady, yes. If yelling some trash talk fires them up....then I would say that they are slackers in the first place.

Baker needs to learn how to smile/laugh at these fools instead of wasting energy on them

That’s the crux of the question. And the perceived answers so far are pretty good.
Baker is at an impasse. They are challenging for us all. But he has the unenviable position of riding it out with a fanbase on his back. It’s make or break. Only time will tell.

It’s the wierdest thing ever trying to understand how he managed to reach the age of 20 something without realizing the power of NOT responding. It’s so easy and so powerful. What went awry there?
