Jerome007 Posted August 18, 2018 Share Posted August 18, 2018 Baker has looked goods in the two games. I happen to watch hen he played in the 1st one too. As for TT, I was surprised the Brown's coaching staff put so many run plays. What, they didn't want Tahrod to show some pride and upstage his old team? He did very little cause that's what the plays called for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billspro Posted August 18, 2018 Share Posted August 18, 2018 Hue is a horrible coach. To not give the first overall pick a chance to compete is crazy. I think Mayfield is already better than Tyrod. I bet Hue gets fired week 6 and Haley starts Mayfield week 7. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't know they taught square dancing in high school. I dated a farm girl in my younger days & she took me to a Grange square dance. I had no clue about square dancing but they should me how & I had a great time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Red King Posted August 18, 2018 Share Posted August 18, 2018 It's about culture. The Browns are 1-31, coming off 0-16. Tyrod will not make the big plays to win games, but will not make the mistakes. As with us, TT will keep the Browns in a number of games. The Browns need that consistancy right now. They need to win a few games, get the monkey off their back, then they can bring Mayfield in. Look at it this way, if Cleveland crash and burns with TT against a tough schedule, he is a sacrificial lamb. Mayfield is then brought in against easier teams and the fans forgive all. If Mayfield starts and the Browns struggle, talk will persist about the Browns still being losers, and Mayfield will come under fire. This gets even worse if other QBs taken in this draft are doing well. All kinds of way too early talk about if Mayfield is a bust, if Cleveland took the wrong QB, etc. Makes sense to start Tyrod, believe it or not...

Jerome007 Posted August 18, 2018 Share Posted August 18, 2018 Nice post Red King. As far as I'm concerned the Browns are not the Bills so while I never wish anything bad and respect 99% of the player, the team itself can go down in flames LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffaloRush Posted August 18, 2018 Share Posted August 18, 2018 Yes Baker is better than Tyrod. You play the best QB on your roster and Hugh is making a big mistake giving the job to tuhrod without competition Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All Mayfield needs to do is learn to read defenses and he will beat out Taylor. It slays me hearing about Tyrod's little attitude against the Bills. I can't even imagine what he is going to feel when Cleveland has him riding the pine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He ran a scrpited offense, rarely threw over the middle, when he did they rolled him out. In my view he’s a slightly better throwing, slightly less athletic TT. I even speculate they grabbed Tyrod because they saw that too, and offensive design center around it.

transplantbillsfan Posted August 19, 2018 Share Posted August 19, 2018 (edited) Mayfield was my #1 choice in the draft. That said, I'm glad we didn't get him. He might develop into being great but I think people who wanted Taylor gone are looking for validation and will grasp at just about anything they can for it. The problem is Mayfield's performance last night looked like the same fool's gold performance Peterman's was. Both guys starting out Not Good or Awful and then starting to play well when all the guys who aren't going to be playing in the NFL came out onto the field. Mayfield will probably develop and become a Franchise QB (unlike Peterman), but it already looks like Allen is pretty well ahead of him. Is Mayfield ahead of Taylor? Is this question coming up because of what Taylor did against our 1st string Defense alone last night and what Mayfield did against our 3rd and 4th string Defense? I'm guessing that's the case. It's a strange case to make. I've been pretty disappointed in Mayfield actually, but it could be because I legitimately had high expectations and thought he'd be the best of the bunch. Regardless, he hasn't looked like the #1 overall pick or even a surefire 1st round QB to me so far. So happy Allen fell to 7 right now Edited August 19, 2018 by transplantbillsfan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teddy KGB Posted August 19, 2018 Share Posted August 19, 2018 (edited) Mayfield sitting for Terrible Taylor is gonna be hilarious as Baker tries to not spaz out Steelers and Saints gonna have Taylor crying to reporters before his week 3 benching.

Formerly Allan in MD Posted August 19, 2018 Share Posted August 19, 2018 The Browns' announcers couldn't stop praising TT (and every other Browns player) but went stone quiet when he continually missed open receivers, just as he did as a Bill. Mayfield showed he can play. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fadingpain Posted August 19, 2018 Share Posted August 19, 2018 Yes, Mayfield probably is better than Tyrod already. You can't overstate how hesitant Tyrod is to throw the football. That's a problem for a guy trying to play QB in the NFL. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In what ways? One places balls precisely, and one throws them in the vicinity. One leads a receiver, hits him stride, and one throws it somewhere in the vicinity. Yes, generalizing and exaggerating here, but almost nothing similar in their skill sets Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
