He alluded to replacing Baker Mayfield all season "if he doesn't improve"
The horror.

i think its more complicated than thatBaker sucked.
Now he doesn’t.
Does this help everyone?
The Whore.
Based off my completely uneducated guess, I think this might have more to do with general playcalling than it does "these are the areas of the field we want to target because Baker is better at throwing to them than other parts of the field."Honestly, Baker's passing is so much different this year than it was during his first two seasons. Maybe I am just an idiot - very possible - or terrible at predicting/evaluating QBs, which is even more possible. But I really could not have imagined this transformation.
Absolutely, but that playcalling impacts Baker. What we saw previously is Freddie and Haley forcing the ball. I guess my bigger point is that the general change in playcalling impacted Baker in a fairly unpredictable manner. I knew that the scheme would make him look better, I did not realize to what degree, though.Based off my completely uneducated guess, I think this might have more to do with general playcalling than it does "these are the areas of the field we want to target because Baker is better at throwing to them than other parts of the field."
For example, if you run to the right side of the offense, the obvious counter to that is to play action pass to the left.
Without a modicum of evidence to support this theory, I believe that is what we're seeing on the above heat map for the Browns.
"I just don't see the progress" and "we can't use COVID shortened season as an excuse. Well that is clearly fucking complete bullshit, because the COVID shortened season and new system clearly, CLEARLY, played and INSANELY massive role in Baker not feeling comfortable early in the season. A lot of people, including me pointed that out relentlessly and Bob brushed it off as bullshit.
What's interesting to me is that you didn't post in this thread one time from September 18 to October 25. Which just so happened to be the worst stretch of Mayfield's season.
You didn't resurface until the second Bengals game. Weird.
Maybe we can all just be happy that he appears to be, in fact, a good QB instead of having a dick measuring contest for no reason.
Those that have had Baker's back since day 1, good for you.
Those that were skeptical of his development and voiced that here (AKA a place for opinions), good for you. You used a forum correctly.
What am I missing here?
But.. .but.... what about my internet points and dunking on people???
During that time I felt like the lone Baker backer, lol.
To be honest I never said he would be a franchise QB for sure, I just said give him time, I see things in him where he could turn it around, said just needed more time with his 3rd/4th coaching staff in 3 years.
Lee, you went to Purdue? Feel like you would've mentioned that before. 8DFuck all of you, after my Drew Brees story, I deserve this win.
