i think the telling moment, was when Baker was called to the sideline tele? before game entry.."Buddy boy, Dorsey here..it's your time to shine kid..go make it rain"..I don't think JD trusted that OL nor Hue or Haley's judgement..I think Dorsey was in charge of unwrapping his new toy? far before his coaching staff ever was? best use of a quarter from a phone booth ever

I thought the bit about Mayfield getting zero first team reps to start was all Dorsey’s idea was interesting. 

Isn't it though...

I understand the thinking.  I didn't want him to be playing at that time either.  I wanted him to sit, watch, and get acquainted with the NFL game slowly.  - In retrospect, Mayfield was pretty much ready to play.  

I think though, as a HC, you want to play whoever is able to play the position best.  And since Mayfield was essentially going to be the backup QB on gameday (even though he was listed as 3rd string during TC & pre season), then he should have SOME time with the starters.  And who knows, maybe he looks like an NFL QB with the starters.  It certainly was eye-opening when we ALL got our first look at Baker with the starters!  Perhaps that eye opening experience could've come in TC or pre season...

Damn, that article is getting a lot of run on the airwaves, and not just ESPN- seems the media want to get their final digs and jokes in about the Browns before we really turn things around this year.   As Baker and Freddie have said, that's all in the past. With the fervent hope Haslam has learned from his mistakes to get the hell out of the way and let Dorsey run the show.   

I'm sure it is.  There isn't anything else to talk about.  The pro bowl doesn't exactly generate a lot of news which is probably exactly why this article was dropped when it was.  It's a slow week in the NFL and it will get a lot of eyes.  Thankfully I don't watch those stupid ass shout at each other and argue shows so I could care less.

If you read the ESPN article- It bluntly said Haslam was counselled from multiple sources inside the organization when he axed Sashi, to send the Huebatross packing along with him- he didn't do it. One of Jimmuh's many mistakes.

They all need to be afraid, be very afraid.

It would have probably taken Adrian Monk to have done so.
