Baker Mayfield: Fire The Cannons

Do Not Sell My Personal Information
He needs to shut up and play football. I don't want to hear his opinion on things. I don't want to see him sell insurance. The whole organization should learn from Chubb.

He has the talent, but we will find out this offseason if he has the commitment.
 
Definitely hope he can turn it around next year, but at the moment he seems like yet another failed QB for this team. My confidence is low that he becomes a high caliber QB in this league.
 
Does anyone doubt Baker would have hit that corner route last season?

Baker has been broken this season. He deserves plenty of blame, but there's plenty to go around as well.

Priority #1 is fixing Baker. Get his confidence back. Address the OL, aggressively. Get him & OBJ working together this off season, assuming the Browns keep OBJ. And bring a coaching staff that will help him.
 
Baker just doesn’t seem like he’s capable of much that goes beyond simple reads and hoping that his play extending abilities hit at a reasonable clip.

He’s shown really no great ability to beat teams before the snap, so whoever the coach is will have to tighten up his understanding of the system so that you can get the most out of him.

Fixing Baker should be Plan B. Plan A should be finding for a QB who doesn't need fixed.
 
Not sure if this has been mentioned yet. Watch the 14:30 min mark in the 3rd quarter. Wide open receiver on the far left side of the field totally ignored. Ball thrown around the 14:15 min mark for a PI call on the Cardinals. Situational awareness is out the window with this team. It starts with the coaching to have our guys playing up to their maximum potential.

This is just one example of it not being present. Plus the many we see on defense week in and week out with defensive backs not turning there heads around to look for the football. Head scratching and gives a better insight on the ineptitude of the coaches which trickle down to the play on the field we have to witness weekly.

This is a prime example of what's wrong. This play is used against Baker but I see it very different. Look closely, the line collapses fast on his blind side. Forcing him to go right and when he goes to throw there is a guy just as close to OBJ as Landry. By the time the throw was released you can see the guy that was on OBJ wasn't defending him.

This game is measured in milliseconds. Fraction of a second longer and he sees OBJ open with the burners on.

The play is designed for him to roll out. He was in no danger of being sacked and he wasn't "forced" out of the pocket, he just missed the read.

Peterson takes away the outside of Landry's route, and 33 sits down on the route. If Baker doesn't misread Landry and throw anyway, he should recognize 33 as the key and let it go to OBJ 1-on-1 vs. a safety in loose zone.

It's inarguable that this is a miss by Baker. But I do understand the confusion if unaware that this is a sprint out.

The line didn’t collapse. That’s a designed roll out. Bitonio and Robinson slide to the right immediately after the snap.

Then it's on him for not holding on to it fraction sec longer. I'm look at cartoon characters guys :conf (11):
