    I honestly think our coaching staff is top notch. The Teller injury is huge and I don't like not having a better backup RG. Hubbard is a terrific teammate and person, but he's a better Tackle than guard. He can pass block, can't run block. 

    Remember getting our asses blown apart against Baltimore? Then looking great against Cincy? Yeah, we've got Cincy again but this time we have our stud nickel back (Kevin Johnson) instead of poor Tavierre Thomas. We've also got Karl Joseph AND Ronnie Harrison back. Our defense will be so much better Sunday, trust me. 

    Are we perfect? No. We miss Chubb. We'll miss Hooper (Wtf?!) and we'll certainly miss Teller. But you know what? It's Kareem Hunt time. He'll have 3 total tds and well over 150 total yards. Trust me, he'll blow up. 

    The rook TE looks very promising though...

    He's an actual stud, but we're not going to see him make any noise until Baker gets his middle of the field mojo back. 

    Look for that to happen Sunday.

    Teller played as the best graded guard in the game Before he got hurt, for what it’s worth. But yes he’s young and hasn’t had a proven career like Decastro

    That was the exact point I was making. I know he was rated at the best, and he very well may end up being better in the long run.

    @nickers said:

    DeCastro is certainly talented.. But I'm not putting him in the HOF just yet... I think Teller has way more upside

    Well 1st nobody said he was a HOF player, and nobody said anything about upside, but you did say it was joke to rank DD over WT based on something? So are you of the opinion that what Teller has done in his 5 games this year has given him the huge jump to surpass him? Because based off of last season, Teller was rated at 56.8 grade, while Decastro was a pro bowler. And heading into the season, Decastro was rated as the 5th best interior OL in the entire league.

    Hey why not... There are people out there who think Burrow is better than Baker and he's only played 6 fucking games...

  • Baker Mayfield was the Pro Football Focus darling of the QB class entering the 2018 NFL Draft.

    What are they saying about him now?

    Well there is a difference, i.e. Baker isn't considered at the top of his position.

    But its not so much of thinking Teller will be better. Its the fact you actually tried to make it look as if it was so bad of a take. 

    The way this reads, since there is no conceivable way you have based this off anything aside from the 1st 5 games this year, then Teller is the best OL in the league (since that is what his grade would tell you). And I hate to tell you this, but since you alluded to it here, Burrow would then be better than Baker by that same metric.

  • To be clear, I said Burrow was better than Baker before he was even drafted.

    6 games wasn't even necessary.

    Yeah, that's not entirely fair. What Burrow is doing is dominating the 10-19 yard range, which is something that Baker ISN'T doing. Burrow is 1 of his last 28 on passes longer than 20 yards (per Browns Daily) and he's dominating with the midrange but still struggling getting the ball down the field. 

    If you recall, Burrow caught fire against us, specifically to his slot receiver, Boyd. This should not happen again, mainly because we won't have Tavierre Thomas covering him and we have the underrated Kevin Johnson at the nickel, and we'll also have Ronnie Harrison AND Karl Joseph in our secondary. That's gigantic and should alter the landscape of the game. 

    Burrow is doing things that rookies typically don't. He also missed AJ Green twice by a very small margin on deep shots, so you don't want them to find their chemistry against us. Owning the 10-19 yard range is something rookies almost NEVER do, so the praise for Burrow is definitely justified. Conversely, Baker isn't looking as good, and his last two halves of football resulted in 4 interceptions, basically no big completions, and about 7 total points. 

    To be fair, those 2 halves were against terrific defenses. Additionally, Baker has ALWAYS played well against the Bengals and that's who we have Sunday. I would definitely expect Baker to be throwing it around the yard tomorrow. Cincy will not bring a lot of pressure, and they will be MORE than happy to sit back and let Baker try to beat them through the air. They know their offense is clicking and they know Baker is hurting. They also know that Baker throws high, so guess what? Eventually Baker will give it you. It's up to us to get the running game going and keep our offense balanced. If we do that, we win. If Baker throws 40+ times we lose.

    Oh no! Now you've done it. We're screwed!??

    BTW watch how many times they manage a 1 on 1 with Sendejo. Definitely screwed against our "speedster" safety (if you count turtle races he's won).??

    Burrow is still a rookie, regardless of his future potential. Browns should win with ease, by 20 or more.

    burrow should go over 300 yds this game...and if obj is a distraction on the sidelines.....which i think he probably will be as baker makes some bad throws and our pussy soft defense wilts again.especially the secondary.....we will lose this game....

  • 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.

  • @clevelandwantsplayoffs said:

    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.

    Baker's first half of stellar play vs Indy should say something about his growth. His second half cool down was where he(and Coach) need to do a better job of sustaining drives.

    Also, I get that it's Hue, but he has a point....

    https://factoryofsadness.co/2020/10/23/browns-hue-jackson-may-point-baker-mayfield/

  • Funny because the stats and differentials speak to the complete opposite Of what Hue says.  Baker under center and this offense is more successful by a pretty wide margin.

    You know its awfully telling that your decision to just laugh as a reply when you have no argument back.

    So again ill ask. What did you use to make the comment that its a joke of DD over WT? And if your argument is based on what has happened this season (which is the only possible sane argument), then why wouldn't it be just as fair for someone to use this year to say JB over BM?

    Or maybe it is as simple as you didn't think you would be called on wanting to use counter productive arguments to make your case, or simply not knowing what the history for the 2 OG was.

    No please explain, and certainly no need to call names.

    If it is just your opinion that Teller is better, then just say that. I don't know how that makes it a joke, but it is what it is.

    If it is because of some kind of measurable/metric, then please provide.

    And if it is going off of this year's grading, great. But you can't be taken seriously when you use that to justify it for Teller/Decastro but want to ignore it for Baker/Burrow.

    As for your other point, I don't think the Browns should give up on Baker. There have been too many variables that could be factors in his stunted growth. But you come off here as someone who thinks anyone without the same opinion is just so wrong and have to be "high". But you also are leaving out context for your arguments. Young was behind one of the best QBs ever, THAT had more to do with it than late development. As for Dilfer, no he was never great but did win a SB, so I am not sure where you were trying to go with that??? He was also a very high draft pick. 

    IMO, unless he completely falls on his face the rest of the year, Baker should be given the opportunity this and next year to see how he can do in this system. And while he isn't setting the league on fire, he has the team at 4-2. And getting a new QB for the team can go either way very easily. The fact of the matter is that they lost to two TEAMS who are/were better than them. The only difference a good BM would have made is by appearance and the score being closer
