Baker Mayfield: Fire The Cannons

[Man Called X]

To pick a GM/HC combo who don't have a clear cut plan on how they will make the current talent on the roster succeed would be an abject failure of the selection process. There seems to be a consensus opinion that the talent is there on the roster, it just needs to be coached and utilized properly. To start giving up on pieces like Mayfield at this stage of the game would be a mind boggling and stupendously stupid choice to make.

So what you're saying is that it would be the Browns thing to do.

It would definitely be the same old same old Browns dysfunction. And, we have fans advocating for that which says something about fans.

You wish you knew how to quit Baker.

“We’ll be using analytics, Bake. We’ll be hitting that RPO. This offseason, just stay tf away from those hot sausages and beer. Speaking of which...it’s awfully cold out here. I’ll see you in the tent.”

The implications of that scene, after a week of eating beans, and right after dinner, are not pleasant.

I am pretty sure that is what drove Randy Quaid insane.

You mean to tell me defenses actually thought our superstar running back had the ball....and we moved the pocket to allow a shorter QB to let it rip....and it worked!?!?!?!




.... get the fuck out of here

 

[Jordan]

It’s stuff like this that makes me hopeful Baker can turn it around next year.

Too funny. I watched it shortly after it came out and thought it was a really good movie. This did not occur to me. Guarantee some of you guys are into that.

Fyi interesting little conversation on Joe Thomas' podcast Sunday about Baker. Joe mentions how even the best quarterbacks, Brady, Brees, Rodgers, all go work with quarterback coaches every offseason (e.g. Tom House) but Baker always dismisses that when someone brings it up to him, thinks no one can teach him anything. Blind faith and love from the fan base might give too much entitlement. Any signs he's humbled enough that he is going to change his mindset this offseason and listen to others? If not some serious public pressure probably wouldn't hurt. Does seem to be the undertone from everyone (org, press) about the need for a tough coach. Hopefully it's obviously towards Baker.

Wow. Just read the article regarding his comments. I think this dude is starting to rub me the wrong way. Why in the fuck wouldn’t you work with a QB coach in the off season? No wonder the dude regressed he think he know it all. Please get someone in here quickly.

Baker Mayfield says he'll be working hard this offseason, but not with a QB tutor - ProFootballTalk

Year 2 for Browns quarterback Baker Mayfield didn’t live up to the promise of his rookie season, and he knows it’s going to take hard offseason work to get back on track in Year 3.“I already know what exactly I need to work on and improve going forward,” Mayfield said, via the Akron Beacon...

Well, Baker will obviously be spending much less time shooting commercials this off season. Hopefully he changes his tune about working with a qb coach this off season once the new staff is in place.

Didn't he work out with a QB coach prior to the Draft?

I recall him working with someone in that documentary he put together.

I know we haven’t seen the progress this year that we hoped, but this is a good reminder of the sad shit we’ve been dealing with for the past 20 years.

Baker Mayfield set to become 1st Browns QB in 18 years to start all 16 games, vows to be improved for the next 16

No one’s done it since Tim Couch in 2001, but he knows there’s plenty of room for improvement

Our passing was a better ranking, 19th, than last year's 21st, even though DVOA dropped slightly from 7.8% to 1.9% due largely to mean vs. median differences - league-best Baltimore was 47.4% this year and the Jets were worst at -21.9%, while last year KC was 62.9% and ARI was -46.9%.

Our defense dropped from 12th to 22nd, though! And yes, Greggggggggg improved the Jets in basically the exact reverse direction! Our special team improved from 30th to 15th, though.

There are.

They are known as Pigs.

And they are disgusting.
