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

They've been scrappy! I'd expect a war.

i think burrow will be a better qb than baker.....not sure if he is there yet though.....baker will never be an elite qb....we made the wrong choice at qb......again....
Based on what?... Look how long it took Steve Young to get his career on track.. Someone mentioned Jim Plunkett..... Please tell me how great SB winning QB Trent Dilfer was... You are all high!.. It's not like we're going to the SB this year.. Relax!

It was I who mentioned Plunket. He had 7 nothing years with NE and SF, then went to the Raiders and had 4 playoff years and won rings.

Browns are more talented at almost every position, and they have a rookie QB.
Browns better OL, WRs close, RBs Clev, TEs Cle, DL Cle, LBs Cinci, DBs not sure. QB?

Yeah, you're not wrong. We are better at most positions but Cincy has been flirting with some upsets lately and were up 21-0 on the Colts before choking. They're going to come out absolutely on fire so it's important we withstand that surge. If we do, they'll deflate and we'll have their asses. No Mixon is HUGE and they are also missing their top DB.
Bring it.

I was saying we were getting JFF II without the drugs/alcohol. Baker can't read defenses.
will he last the entire game ? I mean one solid hit and he could be gone and then on to keenum time

I'm actually pretty impressed by how Joe Burrow is doing with the Bengals this year. He's getting the most out of a limited team.
Imagine where the Browns would be with a QB like Burrow under center.

This game is a great example of why Baker is such a frustrating player to watch. One minute he's making head-scratching throws and horrible picks. The next play, he's threading the needle on some laser passes for huge yards.
I honestly don't know what to make of him at this point.

I’ve been of fan of Burrow’s since I saw him in his H.S. Championship Game toss 6 TD passes.
I was elated when he went to Ohio State, then deflated when they kept him on the bench.

Welp, if you can't pressure Baker Mayfield and you can't cover at the intermediate level, Baker proved that he can still torch you. I mean, he got red hot. I even made a comment on the chat like, "Wow, Baker can't complete a single pass and he's 0-5 with a pick." After that comment, he decided to go full scrotum on people. Unbelievable performance, and hopefully people like Mary Kay will eat a bag of dicks and leave him alone.

I had trouble today deciding which of Baker's 5 TD passes sucked the hardest...
... still haven't been able to decide.

Great second half by Baker. Too bad our defense sucks so bad.
