Once again your tunnel vision doesn't see that Mayfield was the third highest rated quarterback over the final 12 weeks in 2020. THIRD HIGHEST RATED QUARTERBACK.

Carson Wentz and Jimmy G both had stretches this past season where they were playing like top 10 QB's. They had the numbers to prove it and their teams were winning. You're ignoring real facts now. The stats and team success both show that Jimmy G and Wentz were better than Baker last season.

Saying Wentz ended the season the same place as Baker doesn't even prove anything. Justin Herbert ended the season 1 game ahead of Baker. Kirk Cousin ended the season with the same record. Russell Wilson was 1 game worse. All three of them are better QB's. What does where they finished have to do with how good they were individually?

Your tunnel vision, Baker hater glasses doesn't permit you to see that over the final 12 weeks of the 2020 season, Mayfield posted the third best quarterback numbers in the NFL. I would imagine that playing with a busted shoulder. a messed up foot and knee, along with having to play in front of 2 shit tackles foe mist of the year made it pretty difficult to play the hardest position o

It’s comical watching the Mayfield lovers laugh, ridicule, and talk down at other QB’s, not realizing that they are statistically better than their beloved Baker. You can’t reason with them so don’t even try…

Whats more laughable are the Baker haters that are suggesting bullshit trades such as Mayfield and the Browns number 1 pick for Kurt Cousins. Just ridiculous.

I just know that Dan Orvlosky is a huge Carson Wentz guy and there were times during the season where Wentz was statistically a top 10 QB for a decent stretch of games. Similar to Baker's stretch at the end of 2020. I don't have the numbers but I think Wentz got off to a slow start and then got hot. He ultimately fizzeled out but I'm not so sure he was bottom 5 for the whole season.

There is no comparison at all between Mayfield and his numbers over the final 12 weeks of 2020 and what Wentz did last season. Parallels can't be drawn.

Is Kurt Cousins Kirk's cousin?

What about the full 2020 season? Do the games prior to the final 12 games count or no? Why is Baker being graded on a curve?

Who suggested that?? Not me.

I think we could get a similar package for Baker that the Jets did for Darnold and the Eagles did for Wentz. I'd go that route, sign a veteran placeholder, like Mariota, Winston, Wentz, or Trubisky, and draft a young QB to develop. Each of those 4 guys is at least as good as what Baker Mayfield provides.

I think teams might be a little more cautious about trading 1st or 2nd round picks for struggling veteran quarterbacks considering how disastrous those trades ended up being for the Panthers and Colts. If we could get anything more than a 4th round pick for Baker I would be shocked.

Those trades failed. Why would any team do that ?

Hell the Browns have been QB starved for decades and we’re trading this guy ?? And expect teams to give us a draft haul for him ? Doubt we get a 2nd round pick in any year for him.

Not a chance…

Idk. The hit rate on 1st round QB's is pretty low. The bust rate is awfully high. Us Browns fans know that all to well- Couch, Quinn, Weeden, Manziel, & now Mayfield. Of course, one team's trash can be another team's treasure. It's happened with Tannehill & others.
 
What is Baker worth in a trade? Jimmy G was traded for a 2nd round pick. Wentz went for a 1st.
 
Only guy from that list I would consider is Geno Smith but that’s more of a lateral move from Baker

So you think teams will trade a 1st or 2nd round draft pick for a player you just referred to as a bust? And you think it will happen one year after everyone saw how horrible the trades were for Darnold and Wentz? Why wouldn't they just draft their own QB in the 1st or 2nd and see how they develop, why waste their draft capital on a sure-fire bust?

I mean if someone is willing to then sure, take the picks and run. I just cannot imagine teams jumping at the opportunity to replicate the Darnold or Wentz trade.
