Was Baker Mayfield a DOUCHE Yesterday?


Recommended Posts

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.

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.

 

Unfortunately they don't play Cincinnati every week.  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.

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.

Jackson participated in selecting Mayfield #1 overall.  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.

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.

Wait a minute.  Are you saying that I’m a douche for purposely misspelling Baker’s name in the thread title?  I’ll hang up and listen to your response...

The good thing about the world we live in is everyone can have an opinion. I stick by my opinions usually. You did enough for the board to get a discussion going, and that's really what matters at the end of the day. It doesn't matter what I said. I'm sure that's what you are thinking on your side.

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.

Only when bratty baker says he can and he has to run it by him first to make sure he approves of the team. 

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.

I mean, c'mon man.  How hard is it to capitalize the "D" and add an "-ouche" instead of an "-oosh"? I gotta agree... if you're gonna use his full name at least spell it right.

I was just trying to be humorous.  Sorry to have ruined your day.

 

Edit:  There...I fixed the thread title.  Are we good now?

On the contrary, seeing you change it to all caps just made my day.  The only thing that would have made me laugh harder would have been seeing you change the thread title to simply "Baker DOUCHE Mayfield"... which we all know would have earned you a [Vague Thread Title] award despite the relative specificity of the thread. :lol:

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.

We can pull up the threads... it was the ONLY thing I didn’t like about him as a Prospect. He used to constantly search his name on Twitter and respond to anyone who dared criticize him. He could not handle it.  I thought it was a poor trait for a nfl QB. Jmo. Otherwise I was all in. Maybe it won’t matter at all to his success. But this is nothing new.

Now that you mention it, yeah, I recall those threads now. He’s a terrific QB and he should let his play do the talking. But if he has to derive validation from social media comments, he’s in for a world of criticism. I don’t know about a QB who’s so easily trolled.

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.

So much disrespect for Faker Gayfield around here, tbh

 

Better watch out, Wannabe Marky Markfield might cyberstalk you to call you out for picking on him, and then when you try to give him a man hug to make peace he might reject your advances and question your career choices.

So Mayfield is salty at Hue because Hue didn't want Wentz?

 

All he had to do was be polite for 30 seconds and he couldn't manage.

All it shows me is he is an ultra competitor like Brady and Brees, and like Peyton Manning was.  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.

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!!
