I'm never one to pile on a BROWNS player -but-. this is now just one of the opinions getting national attention about the on field leader of the team....... like it or not. It's soul searching time.

Baker Mayfield throws one of the worst interceptions of all time against Patriots

October 27, 2019, 9:34 PM UTCIt’s been a sophomore season to forget for Cleveland Browns quarterback Baker Mayfield. After looking like a possible star during his rookie season, Mayfield has taken a step back in Year 2.
How bad have things gotten for the former No. 1 overall pick? During Sunday’s game against the New England Patriots, Mayfield threw one of the worst interceptions you’ll ever see.The interception occurred with 2:31 left in the first quarter with the Browns already trailing by 10 points. On the first play call of the drive, the Browns tried to set up a shovel pass to Jarvis Landry to gain some quick yards. Unfortunately for the Browns, Patriots’ defensive tackle Lawrence Guy blew up Cleveland’s offensive line.
Mayfield tried to fit the shovel pass in a tight window anyway. The ball — which travelled a yard or two at best — bounced off Guy’s face before he was able to snag it for an interception.
Two plays later, the Patriots scored again. That ran the team’s lead to 17-0 before the end of the first quarter.
The play was a perfect encapsulation of the Browns this season. Despite some excellent weapons, the team has struggled to get things going. Mayfield has been a major part of that. He entered Sunday’s game leading the NFL with 11 interceptions.
Mayfield showed why on that pick. It’s one thing to be aggressive and give your playmakers a chance. That strategy worked well for Mayfield last season.
But there’s a fine line between being aggressive and being reckless. Mayfield has been the latter far more often this season.

― Anonymous, Holy Bible: King James Version
I am by no means a biblical scholar but this is an old common and often used phrase. Much was given to the young Mr Mayfield and whether he or we or anyone else likes it or not and now much could be expected. He had in many people's opinion earned the number 1 pick in the draft and the pay scale that goes along with that, good for him.
He then went out after an injury sidelined the current starter and stepped in and did an outstanding job as a rookie and gained national attention for his work. Then came the off-season and he has to this day continued to seek more fame and fortune, good for him.
Then came Act II the sophomore campaign starting the Golden Boy himself and he has fallen flat on his wallet dropping from record setting rookie to the bottom of the NFL quarterback club. So what happened? Did the NFL just figure him out? Did he and the BROWNS brain trust fail to adjust? Or is it something else on a personal level, we just don't know yet.
Stay tuned for Act III it begins now and we all have a front row seat. mjp
GO BROWNS !

Why would a play like that be called under those circumstances??...STUPIDITY.

I thought it was supposed to be one of those toss plays to the RB....who looked like he didn't know where and when he was supposed to be on the play.

That's the thing too about taking one thing or snapshot in time, even sometimes taken out of context and trying to make it representative of something bigger that is happening.
........"The play was a perfect encapsulation of the Browns this season. Despite some excellent weapons, the team has struggled to get things going. Mayfield has been a major part of that. He entered Sunday’s game leading the NFL with 11 interceptions."..........
Perception or reality? This is what is being portrayed out there.
So is 2-5 that says a lot also.

You are what your record says you are. Losses to two very good teams by self inflicted wounds.

Well, they have lost to 4 very good teams. The two teams that were in the Super Bowl last year, another that is still undefeated, and another to a team that is 6-2 (and should be 7-1...if they had not done the same thing....lose due to self inflicted wounds.)
OK, som maybe they are not quite on that level yet...the first year in. Only the Tennessee loss is the one that really kinda blows.
And now we have 9 very winnable games. But even there, those self inflicted wounds must stop.

Good points they lost to good teams they ironic part is that they could have been in the games or even won maybe 5 or 6 of those games.
I saw a great coach long ago once say that almost every game comes down to 3 or 4 key plays and if they go your way you probably win if not you just lost.
The BROWNS should not be a 2-5 team......but they are.

It is.. what it is.

You have to admit though it was pretty funny. The ball travelled maybe 5 feet. It kinda reminded me of the Sanchez butt fumble. We are going to see that alot the next few years.
-
Hardly worst ever. It was an idiotic play design in bad weather.

Hate to admit it but l saw flashes of Weeden with that shuffle pass interception.

You are a true fan. Gotta bleed with your team bru

The worst part was that our best OL was the one who got his ass blown apart and caused the turnover. We need our best players to start PLAYING like they're the best players.

And then watching a Progressive Commercial with Baker in it made me even more pissed off.

I laughed because it was even more stupid than the buttfumble. In the buttfumble Sanchez fumbles the ball because Wilfork pushed the Olineman in a bullrush against Sanchez. In the Shovel INT the defender wins the LOS and Baker automatically hands him the ball, not thinking.

I immediately hit Netflix button on my remote once I saw that garbage. These bums should be ashamed.
-
Still not as bad as Wheezy's backhanded INT...
... but somehow this is not a comfort.
