She doesn’t write her own headlines. She’s not negative. She’s not “drumming up drama”. She reports what she hears. Browns fans don’t like it because they don’t want drama around the team but “baker the content maker” is the one driving the clicks not her. And of you listen to any objective person they will say the same thing including the radio media who have been saying any criticism of her is a joke in this regard. Only the fans in denial rag on her. The thing is, Baker didn't say anything about this situation until Cabot posted an article that is pure speculation. That's her issue. She implies stuff nonstop and then write articles about that as if it is legit. I am sure Mayfield and Stefankski have some issues as the season didn't go as planned. I think any fan would admit it. But Cabot has been writing crap stories like this for years, not just since Mayfield has been there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She says he’s unhappy and there is friction. He will want to be traded unless things change (play calling to avp etc). It doesn’t criticize him. It’s not surprising. He does seem miserable.

Whether the source is right or wrong (I’ll be honest, she’s usually way too kind to the browns) The Cleveland beat reporters are softer than almost any other nfl market. Most of the town kisses his ass on the regular. He’s the most sensitive nfl player of all time. he hated hue. Then he wanted Freddy. Then he hated Freddy. Then he liked stefanski for a minute.

The only one that was confirmed to be an issue was Mayfield and Jackson. The others are speculation and that's it. I never once saw anything where he "hated" Kitchens or Stefanksi. And your whole first statement is what Cabot wrote, and again, it's speculation. Unless she talked to Stefanski or Mayfield, it's speculation. They had barely finished the game and there is an article about him wanting to be traded. Cabot writes articles for clicks, and subscriptions now as well. Some are overly complimentary. Most are speculation and inferences based on nothings. You don't just run a story based on a source unless you can verify the information. And it's not just her, it's media as a whole. The entire sports media just throws up "sources" on every report with no basis whatsoever. A lot, like Schefter, have proven over the years to obviously verify things because it is extremely rare they are wrong. Also, I was never saying Beane is terrible, just making the comparison because every GM out there makes a bad trade or drafts a bad player. It happens.

YoloinOhio Posted January 9, 2022 Share Posted January 9, 2022 (edited) They really have no choice. He’s not worth much in a trade at the moment and none of the clear upgrades who may be on the move (Rodgers, Wilson, Watson) would likely choose to go there. But any competent GM knows that you can’t have that kind play and behavior at QB all year long and not try to improve that position. Just silly thinking. This is a staged report to try to douse the flames for now. Edited January 9, 2022 by YoloinOhio Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meanwhile Justin Herbert has never won his division, Joe Burrow just did for the first time and neither have a playoff game under their belt yet. How in God’s name are they more of a proven quantity than him? Burrow (.462) and Herbert (.484) are both sub .500 in their first two seasons. Josh was winning games at a .555 clip his first two years. Inconsistent 4 years into his career? The man has statistically been a top 3 QB the past two seasons and has progressed year to year. His numbers are down SLIGHTLY from last year, but nothing that’s overwhelmingly concerning considering he’s still 80% of a top 3 scoring offense in football. His “inconsistency” today is extremely different than his inconsistency as a rookie. Don’t try and lump the two in together, it’s disingenuous. His down games today still result in multi-score wins and his best games have him shredding the NFL’s top defenses. Do you ever read back through what you’ve said and realize nothing adds up? Please know that @FilthyBeast is nothing more than the Nick Wright or similar espn "personality" that makes statements for attention, and doubles down even when their argument is faulty. All of your points are factual, but he simply does not care about the facts. Don't waste your time, you have better things to do I am certain than to match wits with a troll. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Magox Posted February 5, 2022 Share Posted February 5, 2022 Lamar is certainly a unique weapon and is difficult to contain. But I just seeing his most potent part of his game diminishing in the coming years. I think 2-3 years from now they will regret that decision to pay him those sort of bucks. Meanwhile it appears that the Bills got an absolute bargain with the Allen deal. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is some GM out there thatbis desperate and would love to over pay in a trade. If I'm looking at my situation as Baltimore I would think the bidding for a "young former MVP 1st team All-Pro" could fetch at MINIMUM 3 1sts. Likely a good player or 2 back as well. Then add in NOT having that huge contract and you would have the ability between picks and cap savings to retool both sides of the ball. Huntley wouldn't be bad for a year or 2. Mariota would possibly do well in that offense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RalphWilson'sNewWar Posted February 5, 2022 Share Posted February 5, 2022 Lamar is a transcendent athlete at QB I no the NFL. Not sure there is a price tag you can put on what he means and his worth to the Baltimore Ravens, The NFL, The Baltimore Community, Premier Face of Young Black Athletes, Fellow Players and Opponents. there’s just a “it factor “ with Lamar. You got opposing players on often do you have opposing players on defense simply running across the field to talk to him to hang out with him pre-and post game it’s incredible. Not sure you see a player get more love or respect from their opponents as Lamar gets from the opposition. Then we haven’t even gotten to the results on the field. No Brainer you pay. And maybe the football gods let the Ravens stay healthy in 2022. Those 2 things happen then they go right to the top of potential Super Bowl Contenders. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bing Bong Posted February 5, 2022 Share Posted February 5, 2022 They're going to eventually have to cap QB contracts right? Like in the NBA your superstar Max player is probably worth 75% of your team money the league would have to have one a team to have parity. So he's capped There's like 10 quarterbacks worth that.

Sure there's the "it factor", but for a football team, positive plays win games. Lamar has seen his YPG improve, but his INT % and his sack % went up also, while his rush y/a and YPG both have trended down. The question the Ravens didn't entirely get to answer due to his illness and injury issues, is whether the league has "solved" him or whether he's improved his passing game enough to counter. 14 minutes ago, RalphWilson'sNewWar said: No Brainer you pay.
