Baker Mayfield played well but had a down year due to a torn labrum in his left shoulder. The Browns cut him loose because they have an impatient owner who wanted to make a splash. Now that he has healed and found a home with a functional organization (after a stop at an even more dysfunctional organization), we can see the talent that got him drafted.
Everyone likes to talk about what would have happened to Mahomes if he had landed in Buffalo instead of KC but what if the Browns had taken Josh Allen like they should have? Is he still as good as he is, or would they have moved on from him due to a lack of patience in his development? You can say what you will about Beane and McDermott (god knows we all question gameday and personnel decisions), but the Bills are no longer a dysfunctional organization after being one for decades. For that, I thank them.
