zow2 Posted November 27, 2018 Share Posted November 27, 2018 I vote for dooshy. I don't give a crap about Hue but for someone who has been in the league for basically 5 minutes i think Baker has to keep his attitude in check and not make public pronouncements about coaches, play calling and organizational stuff. Hue went in for the postgame hug, Mayfield blew him off, OK leave it at that. Don't make the snarky comments at the presser and continue it on social media.

Mark80 Posted November 27, 2018 Share Posted November 27, 2018 Yesterday (well, Sunday)? Mayfield is a douche every day. That attitude is a lot of what I like about him and what Cleveland desperately needs. Especially if he can back it up with his play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's see how big mouth and the brownies do this weekend when they travel to Houston and play a real team. JJ Watt and Clowney are surely going to introduce themselves to young Mr. Mayfield.

2003Contenders Posted November 27, 2018 Share Posted November 27, 2018 (edited) Compare this to how our young QB handled himself in the PC after the Jags game when asked about Ramsey's comments. I prefer the classy manner in which Josh Allen handled himself. Also, I suspect that the Browns current douche of a head coach -- the beloved GGG -- probably helps to propagate this sort of behavior with the players, rather than to caution them about making sensational public statements.

Hasn't that earned him "if you can't say something nice about someone don't say anything at all" status? Winners don't blame others for doing a lesser job and take jabs at them. Immature people do that. BS. Hue Jackson threw his players, assistant coaches and front office under the bus repeatedly to cover his own ineptitude. That includes revising history and outright lying. For example, Sashi wanted Wentz at 2 and Hue didn’t. They traded out for Hue, but that’s not what he put in the media after Wentz blew up. Then there’s all of the crap hue said about players, FO and assistants after he got fired. Baker was restrained. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another Fan Posted November 27, 2018 Share Posted November 27, 2018 Personally I prefer Allen’s approach of just shrugging your shoulders and doing your own thing. Like when Ramsey called trash. However, this approach has worked for Baker in the past. He uses that sort of thing as muscle. He held his own confronting Colin Cowherd over the summer. He wears his heart on his sleeve.

thenorthremembers Posted November 27, 2018 Share Posted November 27, 2018 Personally love it. Hue is still making money from the Browns, and probably should have waited until a new coaching staff was in Cleveland before accepting a new job, especially within the division. He didnt take the job because he needs the money, he took it because he was trying to stick it to the Browns for firing him, even though they held on to him longer than he deserved. Anyone going on about how Baker is a jerk, better have a real positive opinion of St. Doug, otherwise they are being a bit hypocritical. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hue handled things in a Hue-ish way. Baker is justified to hold whatever grudge he wants about his time with Hue, but there is zero reason to be so publically petty and childish. Not everything in life is all about him but he doesn’t seem to get that. I get that, but most 23 years olds don't see the world isn't about them. After the game he shook Hue's hand. Made a verbal jab or two. Not really a huge deal to me. I'd be prone to agree if Baker is still making comments like that when they play again in a few weeks.

K-9 Posted November 27, 2018 Share Posted November 27, 2018 4 hours ago, YoloinOhio said: But he just couldn’t stop there. For some reason he felt the need to jump in the comments section of a “First Take” post Monday on Instagram about the need for him to grow up. There’s obviously no quicker way to show you’re growing up than to call your former coach “fake” on Instagram! Seriously, why is any NFL quarterback wasting their time in the comments section on Instagram? You don’t take to social media in order to air out your dirty laundry. This is the NFL, stop acting liking a teenage girl. Didn’t realize he was so insecure. Not a desirable trait in a QB, imo. It will be interesting to see how he reacts to a real controversy in the future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tyrod's friend Posted November 27, 2018 Share Posted November 27, 2018 sounded to me like a leader, of his city, his organization and his team. If it had been our team, and the coach gone to New England ... and the QB suddenly flourished after the coach left? Buffalonians would be bursting with pride. Don't fool yourself. Like I said when he was in the draft - I would have looked forward to the day he waved the team flag in the end zone in Gillette. Good luck to him in Cleveland. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is what you want in a QB imo. Well, I disagree. I think it shows Mayfield has very thin skin and will allow himself to be readily drawn into distracting media drama. Right now it's NBD and apparently motivational for him, but at some point I think it's very likely to bite him in the butt or become overwhelming.

Livinginthepast Posted November 27, 2018 Share Posted November 27, 2018 14 hours ago, Gugny said: I think there's a few things at play, here. 1. Mayfield is young and perhaps a bit immature. 2. Mayfield, at his age, may not realize that a man Hue Jackson's age isn't going to have many opportunities in the NFL; especially after getting fired after a Peterman-esque career in Cleveland. 3. Mayfield is trying to win over a team and a fan base. On the heels of throwing 4 TDs and no INTs, he took an opportunity to pound his chest one more time that day. I would be shocked that, 5+ years down the road, Mayfield wouldn't have handled it with a tad more grace/subtlety and professionalism. But he's a kid. I don't think he crossed any lines. That said, if he came out with those remarks as a seasoned vet, I'd likely feel differently. I love that line! Add it to the dictionary and define it as a "consistent and utter failure". Hue pulled a Peterman at Cleveland in every way!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
