Baker Mayfield
-
Baker can't read defensive coverages, he made the same pick against the Ravens and Steelers. He's also become quite inaccurate and evolving into an average QB, I'll predict that he won't be offered an extension this offseason unless he significantly turns things around.
I can't see us not exercising his 5th-year option. He'd have to completely fall apart for that not to happen.

6 games in at 4-2 and the pitchforks are already out... You guys don't deserve a franchise QB... You deserve a Trubisky/Hoyer type...

What is alarming is we have have fans like you who jump ship....
2020: 10 TDs 6 INTs 1,095 yds 86.75 QBR
2019: 5 TDs 11 INTs 1,496 yds 63.71 QBR
I'll take his numbers at this point over last years... You are ALL overreacting!
Don't ever fucking lump me in with the casual fan ever again. If I say something on here in the mold of what I'm discussing now (Baker) - then significant thought and film has been put into it.
Right now our QB is handicapping this offense. Being truthful isn't "jumping ship".

During the 4 game winning streak, Baker contributed to 56 of the 150 total points scored during the 4 game span. The other 94 points where by other Browns players. He never cracked 250 yards passing in any game and passed for a lousy 156 in the Washington game and 165 in the Dallas game which further proves that the rest of the team is masking his flaws with their play. We only had about 45 yards rushing against the Steelers which meant Baker had to make plays in the passing game to give us a chance. You can also say the defense couldn't stop them but we only scored 7 points with 2 Int's and one being a pick 6 that put us behind early. Any way you slice it hurt or not, Baker flat out stunk. Franchise Qb's find a way to get it done when their team needs them.

Baker is mediocre at best. Not worthy of a Number 1 pick but since 1999 who have the Browns drafted in the top 5, other than Thomas, that have been worth it.

I'd wait until the year is actually over before making such a judgement.
This was a bad game for Baker. You know who else had a bad game this week? Aaron Rodgers... It happens.
For me it has zero to do with the last game... It's the culmination and lack of progression in every one of his games that has me worried.
I openly admit that I wasn't a fan of the pick and that more than likely skews my vision, but he just hasn't passed the eye test for me yet - no matter how hard I squint.

I was surprised with Baker at #1 overall. I get it now. It takes the type of player that Baker is to be the QB of this franchise. It's only year 3. Growth is not always linear.

Perhaps, but name all the QBs who became good after regressing his 2nd and 3rd year compared to their rookie year. Jim Plunket, maybe? It's a short list. We all made excuses for 2019. But he just hasn't got any better even with a real coach instead of Freddie Ass Clown and an improved OL and TE.

I have defended Baker for the longest time but it has come to the point where it's obvious that he is the weak link. He either up's his game or becomes another name on the back of the jersey. FACT.

I'm not trying to pile on because I desperately want Baker to succeed, but I'm watching the Eagles and Giants play and both QBs are making throws that Baker can't make.
What's historically been the cure for what ails Baker? The Bengals. But I'm telling you now, our DL has to step up. We haven't had a sack on the DL from someone not named Myles Garrett since week 3. I'm so sick of seeing Vernon get absolutely dominated by tackles, it's not funny. DO SOMETHING Vernon.

Meh.
Name a QB that has had 4 different head coaches in his first 3 seasons... That still has a chance to be one of three QB’s in NFL history to throw for 3500 yards and 25+ td’s.
Ya, he didn’t play well against Baltimore. Game one of a COVID season with a new head coach, new offense and no preseason... playing against the number one seed the year before, at their house. Shocker. The guy straps up to go out and play against Pitt with an injury, and doesn’t play well, mean while the defense has 2 starters playing in the back 7 and some boarder line practice squad players playing secondary....
He rips off games with over 100qbr’s and people complain he threw for under 200 yards. Why the hell would you throw the ball when your run game is what it is? It will be the same this Sunday. He will throw for under 200 yards, and they will most likely run on Cincy all day. How many yards did last years MVP throw per game last year? Cause it wasn’t over 200 many times...
The only way his option shouldn’t be picked up for the 5th year is if Dallas calls and wants to trade Dak. Otherwise, what the hell else is out there... and don’t even talk to me about this team drafting another QB.... Let’s have a few seasons where they win games and make a few playoff/wild card runs before they draft total flops at QB again or they trot out Seneca Wallace/Brian Hoyer/Case Keenum and go back into the basement.

Ya.... I keep hearing this too. Kept hearing how great Josh Allen was on 92.3 the Fan from Dustin Fox.
That poor SOB couldn’t have hit water throwing a football out of a boat in the middle of Lake Erie last week.

The biggest thing is for Baker to attack the middle. If he can't do that, his career is over. That pick 6 certainly my help because that was the easiest read ever. What Baker really needs is a game where the defense and special teams just takes over and the running game finishes it off. Let's take the pressure off the guy and let him continue to learn.

And if he's playing under the same system next year, producing the same mediocre results, still surrounded by a good to very good amount of talent, what will the Baker apologists say then, I wonder?
Fine, let's go with the fact that he's played under a different head coach every year. I think that is a valid excuse.
But if he's still producing the same results next year, under Stefanski again, in his fourth season, then what?
