Look, I'm not going to reach too far in the future. But as it stands now we have a legit contender for a franchise QB and a RB who is outshining the pick most people thought should be in Mayfield's place, with less time on the field. No reason not to start to enjoy that taste.

Like your thread and points here! 

I remember trying to talk a few guys into Baker's ability long before the draft. Unfortunately, I did the same stuff for Johnny Manziel so I probably recruited a lot of deaf ears to my opinion about Baker. Throughout the pre-draft, I had Baker wavering back and forth between my 1A and 1B QB choice.  He reminded me most of Drew Brees and still does to be honest.

Between Patrick Mahomes and Baker Mayfield, I think we can officially deep 6 the "STAY AWAY FROM BIG 12 QBs" from here on out.  For those worried about QBs that are 6" tall or under, there's a ton of Pro Bowls and post seasons with the following guys that size: Joe Theisman, Warren Moon, Jeff Garcia, Drew Brees and Russell Wilson...

I was a huge fan of Ward over de Chubb, but I wasn't much on the Baker train. I knew he wasn't another youknowwho, but wondered about his size and maturity. That ended after watching him at training camp/preseason and listening to him in interviews.

   Picking Baker was freaking brilliant. Not so much for my qb, Allen, or Rosen, or Darnold or....

Baker is magic. and the players all around him know it. Just a brilliant draft.

de Chubb or de other Chubb? Funny how things work out sometimes. 

I kind of like Chubb first and then a QB...... ahhhhhh, rehashing my draft picks in November, I need a hobby or something.

Quail Hollow... again once upon a time... was a Diamond Shamrock property.

Played the course a couple times and from one hole you could see an A-frame, Swiss chalet style house that was reportedly the "playhouse" of our then CEO.

When I mentioned I wanted Baker to be like Farve on the field in terms of having fun - this is exactly what I meant.     Now if he can avoid some of the other things that plagued Brett I'll be good.

Come on gip you know damn well we should have taken saquon at number one and Barkley would have been there four. Trying to do my best PoG imitation.

Just joking with you PoG. In other and more important news how's that little one of yours getting along? You, Otto, and your family continue to be in my prayers

Thank you so very much.

So far, so good on the Otto front. We'll know what's going on inside once we got back to the eye doctor and then even more in January when he gets his follow up MRI. On the outside, he's looking much better. 

Quick story.

After his follow up appointment with the neurosurgeon she suggested to quit washing his incision on his head 3 times a day with the baby soap and to start just cleaning it once a day and afterwards apply some Neosporin to help the stitches and scab start to come off...

So we did that, a few days into this routine the area around the half moon incision started to raise up and the incision itself started to look infected. It almost looked like a there was a walnut under the skin. We started to think that the pressure was building back up and the surgery wasn't working. We were debating whether to take him to the emergency room, or at least call the hospital, we were thinking he might have to go back into another surgery and he was just doing so good too... 

We finally called and sent the doctor a few pictures of area and mentioned it started a few days after applying the Neosporin. She said go back to washing 3 times a day with baby soap and to quit putting on the Neosporin. Almost immediately after, the redness and swelling went away and he started doing better than ever. He went straight to walking around. He started baby talking, signing, singing, walking and even doing baby Elvis dance moves- it's amazing! He puts his little hands together when we sit down for dinner and says, "Pay", for pray. He's so sweet.

So? Are you over saying that Sequin should have been the choice?

Every time I watch Brees now I see Baker down the road 10-15 years. Baker has the ability to get right there with him in a very short period of time. Brees has absolute mastery of the players around him and superb reading of any defense thrown at him. That second part will take time and experience. But Baker sure seems on top of knowing the players around him already.

I hope Bernie gives him pointers on the side.. Bernie was a master at thinking outside the box on the grid iron...it's great when you can have a QB whose thinking 3-4 plays ahead of everybody...

Guess it doesn't really matter tho.

Baker's energy & attitude are obviously contagious. I could watch this kid all day long.

I have a Draft party every year & went into a dance this year celebrating Bakers' selection. With that, my old Priest friend, Fr Pat, jumped up & shouted that he was just another Manziel. He is now as big a Baker Fan as I am & he has been since late in Training Camp. He is unable to go to Sunday games/tailgates due to Mass, but was my guest at the Jets' game, which was also the 1st game I wore my Mayfield Jersey. I apologized to him in the 1st half, but then, along came Baker!!! What a baptism THAT was!!!

It has been fun watching all those doubting & even condemning that #1 pick come around. Baker Mayfield has brought new life to Browns Town & beyond.

Mike I admit I was skeptical and tended to favor the more treelike Sam Darnold after Rosen took one hit too many. But Baker has proven how much he loves the game and how hard he works to be molded into a true NFL standout QB. I'm glad he now has an OC that so far is proving that he knows how to use Baker's strengths in making him that kind of QB. But next time slide dammit! Listen to Mr. Fells!
