Buffalo Boy Posted August 22, 2022 Share Posted August 22, 2022 New out of camp and practice is Mayfield looks marginally better than Darnold. The argument can and has been made that Darnold has a half year of extra time with Mcadoo. There is also a lot of hometown hope/hype in Charlotte. To my eye, this is an 8 win team and Mayfield will win them a couple extra games vs Darnold. If McCaffrey actually stays on the field and isn’t overused maybe they are a 10 win team.

He was injured last year(2021) and it showed. That's nothing to sneeze at. A further look into him reveals he’s a childish punk who played with great talent. When Cleveland doesn’t want you, get out the hankies, cuz there a sneeze fest a-coming. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just sayin Nah, was never gonna happen, he was an interception machine in college and sucked when under pressure, that and he had not much up side to speak of, nothing has changed for Sam in the NFL. Beane is smarter than to take such a player. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freddie's Dead Posted August 22, 2022 Share Posted August 22, 2022 Put me down as a yes. Browns paying POShaun 8.34M a game this year, another year without playoffs. I'm going to enjoy every minute of the schadenfreude. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Period. So much hype for that class. So little to show, sans Allen & Jackson to be fair, two big time qbs is a pretty great class by most standards. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ethan in Cleveland Posted August 22, 2022 Share Posted August 22, 2022 Mayfield played injured all last year. In Buffalo he would have been called a true football player that played with toughness. In Cleveland they shipped him out for a serial sex offender. I think he is better than game manager but he is not a top 10 guy, probably somewhere around 15. Average enough that Cleveland with that roster would have pushed for a division title this year. Mayfield almost beat KC in the playoffs two years ago. The problem is the rest of Carolina's roster is not that good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Florida Bills Fanatic Posted August 22, 2022 Share Posted August 22, 2022 2 hours ago, YoloinOhio said: Most important year of Baker’s career. Will either garner him starting job and 2nd contract next year or relegate him to a backup role. It is really his last shot to hang onto a starting job in the league. Not only does he have to perform but he also has to stay healthy and available. With about 6 projected first round QB's headed to the 2023 draft, some borderline guys will be headed to duty as clipboard holders. Personally, when I see him play, I put him in the category of Chase Daniel or Case Keenum. Good enough to be a very good backup but not a starter.

I would state the one odds in his favor is that Cleveland is so dysfunctional that no one can be good there. But truly few guys put it together after his beginning.

Buffalosouth Posted August 22, 2022 Share Posted August 22, 2022 If they don't regret signing Watson why would they regret ridding themselves of Mayfield? Browns might suck but they still make money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigK14094 Posted August 22, 2022 Share Posted August 22, 2022 I don't think the Panthers have a winning record this year, but it would not surprise me to see him get another prove it contract from the Panthers. He has a legit arm, its just that he is , well, a cultural problem at times. I think the insurance company needs to drop him, though.

C.Biscuit97 Posted August 22, 2022 Share Posted August 22, 2022 In hindsight, trading a decent qb for a sex offender might be a mistake. But if you take the sex offender part out, Watson is a borderline top 5 qb and Baker is an average nfl starter. sums up life as a Browns fan. You can be good but you need to actively cheer for a sex offender. Cleveland rocks! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
