Baker Mayfield Thread

Call me when the NFL decides to convert its field and everything else to meters.
Ha, and what's the #1 sport in the world? Hint, it's not NFL football. It's the other football, with a pitch (field for those soccer hatas) laid out in meters.

And who here gives a flying bicycle kick about futbol.
Call me when you can no longer buy a gallon of gas or a gallon of milk.
And call me when The Who comes out with a song titled: I Can see for Kilometers and Kilometers.
Oh...but you know who would like the metric system: Product producers. Because they can fake you out by giving you less product for more money simply by using the metric system. Just like this drink bottle I have on my desk. Instead of a 20 OZ bottle, they give me a 500 ML bottle (which comes out to 16.9 OZ...meaning they give 3 OZ less for the same of more money.

Thanks for just sticking your foot in mouth. 500 ml is better than a 16 oz Us pint. Liter bigger than a US quart. Continue on, dinosaur.
Let me know when the world TV rankings for the Super Bowl equal the World Cup final.

Did you not read what I said? Instead of giving us a 20 oz bottle of Coke, they are giving a 500 ml bottle...which is LESS product....for the same or greater price.
So...if you are such into metrics, tell us the length in metric numbers of the length and weight of the blade of a guillotine. After all....the guys that put that to use are the ones who pushed the metric system.
As for the World Cup? Its a nice little thing. Doesn't compare to the ratings of the Super Bowl. Not in this country. I would still rather have the US win the Olympic Gold, even in soccer.
And, like I said, call me when the NFL begins to measure the field in metric terms. That is when I will say that the metric fairies have won.

As I sit here and watch some videos on Baker Mayfield, the inevitable comparison of Russell Wilson continued to show up. The funny thing about Wilson is that he was pretty much awesome forever...at 2 different schools. As an FSU grad and avid FSU fan, I saw Russell Wilson torture us for years, and was all too happy to see him go to Wisconsin. Then he goes up north and kicks more butt, and STILL the guy doesn't get drafted until the 3rd round. I was SCREAMING to draft this guy...in the FIRST ROUND...let alone the freaking third. Height really doesn't matter, I wonder when NFL people will figure it out.
I don't see TOO much Wilson in Baker Mayfield, but I guess I see a little (the comparison I'd make is to a better Jeff Garcia). Wilson is much faster and more slippery...by a solid margin...but Baker might be a better pure thrower of the football. Both loved playing baseball, but obviously only Wilson was drafted to go pro. Both qb's attributed their ability to alter throwing angles to baseball, and that's necessary if you're shorter than most. But to me, the largest difference between the two is Wilson was used to pro style offense and being under center. That's a huge deal, ESPECIALLY if you're a little shorter because the shotgun is a great equalizer. It gives you instant separation from the defense and natural sight lines, opposed to taking snaps and getting as much space as possible.
Much has been said about the fact Baker only had about 2 passes batted down, and some of that is due to the vision provided by the shotgun formation, but the other factor is Baker's innate sense of timing that lets him pass the ball safely through tight windows. He's also not afraid to put more arc on the ball, even on the short stuff. For example, the first play of the game against some team they eradicated, Baker takes the snap and doesn't see anybody. The RB eventually releases through the line, to the left flat. If Baker threw it right away (RB was open) there's a great chance the DT swats it down. What's Baker do? He waits that split second which allows the RB to clear, and lobs a perfect short pass IN STRIDE for a sizable gain. How many times did Kizer flub that up? Remember that short pass to Duke Johnson that was picked off? Yes, there was likely several, but this one in particular had Duke open, Kizer throwing high (shocking), Duke getting a paw on it and knocking it to a defender for a HUGE turnover.
There are multiple differences between Kizer and Baker, maybe none larger than the ability to throw a freaking fade route. Do you guys remember the first 10 games of the year when we CONTINOUSLY banged our balls against the wall by throwing incomplete fade after fade. I don't think ANY of them worked...like...none. Baker deftly throws the fade, and our guys are going to love it.

LOL, didn't Johnny say I'm gonna wreck this (CFL) league? We'll see in around 5-10 years who is right.

Why is the NFL devaluing safeties?
Well our team certainly did not devalue safeties in the off-season. We went and got ourselves a CB whose real position in FS and took the guy who had played there and put him in his natural position as SS. Both ++ moves for the Cleveland Browns. And I'm not worried about any QB controversy. If TT keeps the ball away from the opposition and moves the chains enough to rest that D, the season will look like night and day compared to 2016 /17. I think folks will stop laughing at us and start cheering for the underdogs to pull off some real "upsets" that will not even look like upsets.

it's really the SS position that is being devalued as the lesser of the two.....

We didn't underestimate the safety position THIS year, but last year we literally didn't have a free safety playing with ANY position experience until that undrafted rookie got in the game later in the season. I forget his name, but he sucked. He got toasted one game for the easiest TD ever, and he also had a TERRIBLE 15 yard dead ball penalty on 3rd down. I forget the exact game, but it was SO BAD. I want you guys to think about that for a second. We had a position on our defense filled with people that literally had ZERO experience, and then we rectified it by throwing in an undrafted schmuck. Oh, and our other solution was to play Peppers as far back as possible. Yikes.
However, enough about last year, we all know it sucked. This year we certainly addressed it, and we're bringing over Damarious Randall from Green Bay who was miscast as a CB. He's back to his natural position, which he loves btw, AND this allows Peppers to actually do what HE does best. What a freaking epiphany! To help with depth, Boddy-Calhoun is taking snaps at FS in case of injury. Wow, brilliant.
The guy many AREN'T talking about in our secondary is EJ Gaines. He's had injury problems, but check out his numbers when he's healthy. He's pretty darn good, folks. We a actually have a real secondary this season, and don't forget we probably have one of the best 4-3 linebacker sets in the league. Our starters are Schobert, Jamie Collins (will be healthy in 2-3 weeks I think), and Christian Kirskey. Not bad peeps.

the more I look at it - the more the Browns' pick of Mayfield really was very, very smart.

I predict Mayfield and the Browns will WIN this year - not just a few, either.
