Thanks.... my point exactly. The man cost GB many more SBs than the one he won... the one when Reggie White "explained it to him". It didn't stick beyond that one season.

And I loved this from the link...

Yup... over rated...

Or, the other way to look at it ....the proper way to look at it.... is that he got them to those Super Bowls and Championship games and won one, where without him they may not have even sniffed a playoff spot. 

You would have preferred  Doug Pederson,  Ty Detmer, Steve Bono, Craig Nall?  Or Jim McMahon or Matt Hasselback?

I'll go with this one

Note that the #1 passer when adjusted for era and rules is.. The Otto of Graham.

Favre is below such luminaries as Rich Gannon.

My money says he'll always have the most total career interceptions thrown..

One fun thing to do is to sort by attempts to see who stands out. Brett Favre ranks 43rd in era adjusted passer rating...

Yup... over rated...

@browns1216 said:

so now everyone is done comparing baker mayfield to johnny manziel? ?

I was pretty vocal pre draft that wasn't going to be the case. But sheeze guys, some folks are already so over the top on those memes it's plain nuts.

I know it's been so long since the Browns have had a decent QB, people have forgotten what one looks like.

You probably would too, after taking getting majorly busted up after a game.

I think there is some legitimacy to this.

Yeah, Favre sucked.

Oh....look,  White Tarkenton makes the Top Ten QBs of all time on all these lists. 

So, you want your comparison....maybe Baker can become the new "Bearded Tarkenton".

TBH, the comparison I see with him BY FAR is actually current QB Matt Stafford. They play very similar styles of football, and that's not remotely a problem in my book.

wait, you mean Baker? I don't see that - Baker is way, way more like Drew Brees.

@texasag1969 said:

You mean the guy that Brees passed up in total career yardage last night just before he passed up that other overrated QB Payton Manning.??

Yeah, Favre sucked.

@tour2ma said:

Nailed it...

Have I mentioned recently that Favre is the most overrated player in the HOF?

Otto Graham.......7 Championships!!

114-20, 6'1" 196 lbs

 Comparing Mayfield to Graham?

Works for me. Otto was the greatest ever. And his records stand and are still relevant today. They did not end in 1970

To hell with the comparisons, Let Baker make his own way, and when it's all said and done. They compare the new guys to Baker. When they do that, Then you know we had found our quarterback.

I’m on your page. Comparison’s are just a crutch to create a basis of comparison. If Baker’s career goes the way l think it will, within a few years he will be the basis of comparison. 

The video clip from the OP already has talking heads fawning over him. Hell, he’s still just a rookie and not really in a position to throw his weight around. Wait for that day. It’ll be fun.

I don't like having to take it.   Yes, it kills the pain and knocks me out......but I feel like a drug addled junkie after I have done so.  And it gives me the jitters.    Not saying I would never take it.  I would if necessary....but I would not want to have to.

i personally dont see the comparison to farve. Farve was a wild man, also played in a diff era. Baker nay not have farves utter cannon either, rem farve might have the biggest arm of all time alongside vick, marino, elway...

but bake isnt wild. I think the brees comparison is better. Brees with a little more athleticism and a better arm. Bakes arm is better than people realize i think. 

Everybody wants to pigeonhole people.   "He's the next  this, or the next that"...

The only guy that was really the "next" somebody else,   was Kobe Bryant.  He was the next Michael Jordan.   Pretty much the same height/weight/speed as Jordan.  Had the same kind of game,  played in the same system for the same coach. He WAS pretty much an MJ clone because of that.   It is one of the reasons I put MJ down on the list of "greatest players".....because along came a guy as good as him, in the same system, doing the same things.   I say they were both the product of the Phil Jackson system.

But for these QBs......we just want to make comparisons in order to make it easy on ourselves to decide how good them may become.
