    What better drama could you ever ask for as a Browns fan than to see the rookie come in down 0-14 and complete his first pass for a 1st down to the team LEADER Jarvis Landry?

    It does not get any better than that Browns Fans!!  ?

    Go to the 1:32 mark.

    Possibly.  But tyrod clearly knew he was done.  Probably knew it early in camp after seeing what he was up against. 

    The entire vibe changed when Mayfield went in.  He zipped completions all over the field,  got a few lucky breaks,  and the team just responded to him. 

    The immediate future is bright.  Especially with Carr looking scared to be on the field and that's not getting any easier with the Browns D coming. 

    Baker now gets all the reps with the ones.  Callaway will be balling soon.

    What seems to be the issue with Carr? He seems to have hit the proverbial wall at 100mph. A year ago at this time he was touted as a future top QB of the league.

    I will give it to Captain Tyrod..He took some shots!! Paying for his own issue for holding the ball & being unsure to throw..OL gave up 4 sacks & 12 QB hits. 1 sack, 2 QB hits (1 fumble) on Baker cause he only held the ball most the night under 2.6 seconds at 88%..Ty paid on the rest, holding the ball up to 37% more than 2.6 seconds. His first hit looked to be straight on his chin strap at 8:40 in 1st. Than carried it the very next play😵. At 13:42 of the 2nd, takes another whack on a sack. At 6:19 of 2nd was the forearm to his head. Soon after came the self KO. simple with this OL,The ball has to come out of your hands..

    I don't really see a guy that processes everything in front of him quickly enough for any long term success. In fairness, his worst completion % counting his starts in Buffalo were in the first game Roethlisberger turned the ball over 5 times so I'll give both guys that mulligan. 

    As hard as Tyrod works and prepares based on what we've heard, I don't know that it ever makes a speed reader out of someone that has never been one.  By the time he's seeing someone that was open - they are covered or he's now trying to elude a sack.  The good news is our new LT now has 3 starts under his belt and a lot less false starts than he had in week 1 the last 2 weeks.  Tyrod's job was to preheat the QB position for the Baker.  He did that and I think he was a pretty solid role model to learn from.

  • It would be Tyrod's 3rd concussion since aug.2017.  https://www.sportinjurypredictor.com/player/tyrod-taylor/4785 <(won't open???) interested to hear Hue say Monday.."well Ty is still in CPC" or he amazingly recovered..

    Didn't know that- but in defense of Tyrod- I've watched that specific play at least a dozen times, and my POV is he did bounce his head off the turf pretty hard.  Some have posited he was already dinged when he got the coup de gras. Very uncharacteristic of him to go 4\14, when he's usually at least a 50%+ completion guy. Being at the game- it sure looked like the Jets were blitzing Taylor early and often, betting he couldn't react fast enough to find the open receiver. (Hmmm Baker didn't seem to have the same problem) Shades of Bernie at the end of his tenure here in Cleveland.  

    Anyway, the Baker Era has begun in Cleveland. Hue's just giving Taylor some respect as a team captain waiting to tell him He's now Mayfield's backup.
