Baker Mayfield: Fire The Cannons

[Vee-Rex]

Mayfield with 15 straight completions and 3 TDs. He needs this kind of confidence and play moving forward if he hopes to get another contract with this team.

So... OBJ is gone and Baker looks like a man again. How odd.

October 25, 2020: Baker Mayfield *still* ain't it.

GET RATIO'D SONNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN

This is the best game of his career, no? I was on the hate train for the first time early on in this one, and then....

That was an absolutely magnificent game.

 

[Triplethreat]

What a fucking gangster throw.

Let your fucking nuts hang out Bake.

 

[Man Called X]

Smoke and mirrors. When he pulls this off against a defense that isn't almost as bad as ours, I'll listen.

Baker Mayfield actually won this game for us today. He was the reason why we won. Major props to him for stepping up while being hurt too.

His only incompletion was the spike, BTW.

I know the Bengals suck. Whatever. It's still an NFL defense. He won the game for the Browns. It was a MAJOR step up from what we've seen and gives me hope.

 

[Out of the Rafters at the Q]

So, I love the game.

But, I'll be interested to see how much of "the change" we saw was Baker, and how much was Stefanski.

Just from watching live, it seemed like most of our passing success came after we started running out of the shotgun, or letting Baker take deeper drops when under center. His comfort issues from having to stay in the pocket disappear when you let him sink back further behind the offensive line. He seems more comfortable there, and for a shorter QB, it gives him more vision and a better trajectory for throwing the ball.

Also, that Bengals defense is atrocious.

 

[Vee-Rex]

Very impressed with how Baker answered that.

We took more shots down on the field. Even on the OBJ INT (extremely poorly thrown) the philosophy was sound. Stefanski is awesome, and I hope Mayfield can build off of this performance.

 

[red.]

No false hope for me.

String together more games like this and I’ll shut the hell up calling on a QB.

Show me. <3

I really could not give two fucks how bad Cincinnati’s defense is. Baker played great. Burrow is getting sucked off for throwing 80 times and racking up stats vs a horrific Browns defense. This is the NFL. Nobody is going to take away that Baker is suddenly the guy after this game, but give credit where it is due. He couldn’t have done much more today.

Looked night and day after Odell went out. Started challenging his WRs, making the throws he wanted to make instead of looking for OBJ, and the WRs stepped up with ballsy catches.
