Baker Mayfield Makes Browns' Choice at Quarterback Easy

 

BEREA, Ohio -- Browns coach Hue Jackson caught a couple news cycles' worth of flak for saying he wanted to watch the tape before naming a starting quarterback in light of Tyrod Taylor's concussion and No. 1 overall pick Baker Mayfield's invigorating debut last week.
 
So you can only imagine the response had Jackson strolled to the podium here Monday and said anything other than this is now Mayfield's team, for Sunday's visit to Oakland and beyond.
 
"Did I feel like I had a choice?" Jackson said, repeating my question near the end of what had to be his most popular media session in two-plus seasons on the job. "I do not think that matters to me. I think today I am giving you guys the choice that was made, whether it was going to be a riot here, as people said, or whatever. It is what it is. This guy is the quarterback, and on we go."

He's bigger than Manziel, and Wilson, and Brees actually. And he has a great work ethic and no drug problem, so not similar to Manziel much at all.

No he's not. Mayfield is listed at 6'1" 215 lb

Cousins is 6'3" 202 lb

Dalton 6'2" 220 lb

Brees 6'0" 209 lb

Rodgers 6'2" 225 lb

Carr 6'3" 215 lb

Keenum 6'1" 215 lb

Ryan 6'4" 217 lb

Smith 6'4" 213 lb

Wilson 5'11" 215 lb

Taylor 6'1" 210 lb

Tannehill 6'4" 207 lb

Fitz 6'2" 223 lb

 

He fits right in size wise. He's not the smallest and he's not the biggest, he'll be fine.

I thought he was being sarcastic regarding all the dumb reasons people didnt want Mayfield in the draft.

To be precise Mayfield measured 6’ 0-5/8” at the combine.  Drew Brees measured 6’0-3/10” tall. There’s an interesting video from Browns training camp that show Mayfield practicing throwing from his toes. It was noted that this is exactly what Brees does.

If this dude thinks anyone is giving up a "mid round" pick for Tuh-rod at this point he's high.  6th or 7th rounder at best.

 

It’s called negotiating. Dorsey is trying to get as much as possible for him by creating an impression of value.  They won’t get back what they gave up tho.

Tyrod Taylor: QB mentor extraordinaire. Do not undervalue the QB mentor. The mere threat of Taylor leaving might be enough to send Baker Mayfield into uncontrollable fits of despair. If anyone wants to make a deal for Taylor, they will have to pay the Mayfield comfort price.

I'm thinking it's a pretty safe bet that Tyrod stays the season in Cleveland. Who would want him? He's horrible! Cleveland is stuck with him, better them than us.

Hes a fringe starter, I could see the 49ers trading for him after losing Garapollo, or another team whos starting QB goes down that has a chance at making the post season.

Maybe, but he's not better than what else is out there on the scrap heap and probably costs a whole lot more.

Idk if i had to choose between Bradford and Tyrod,  i would prob go with Tyrod, hes cheaper, more fun to watch, more durable, and a better team player. He will step down and support a better QB like Baker. Bradford wouldn't support Wentz, he cried like a baby till he got traded.

Browns rookie quarterback Baker Mayfield’s first career start resulted in an up and down performance. To his credit, the first overall pick of the 2018 NFL Draft placed the blame of the loss squarely on his shoulders.

It is great to see this rookie group taking up ownership as they get introduced to the speed of NFL Defense.  Repeatedly Allen, Darnold and Mayfield have been the biggest critics of themselves when their teams lost.  I hope this group goes on to win many championships together for their franchise (Include Rosen).
