Baker Mayfield: Fire The Cannons

Do Not Sell My Personal Information

We can also reason (obviously we can't say for sure) that it may affect the play-calling. We know Stefanski wants to try to get OBJ involved early. If it's the 2nd quarter and OBJ hasn't had a target yet, we can bet Stefanski will want to call plays to try to get him more touches. Without OBJ, he can attack the defense as best as he sees fit.

That video by Dan Orvolsky is awesome by the way.

Its Baker, not stefanski or OBJ, and I am a keep Baker guy. He is just making the wrong read thinking OBJ can catch anything and beat any coverage against any route. Its not true, the interception that hurt OBJ was a very bad read. We will see, but we do face allot of bad pass defenses over the next 9 weeks.

Back to being terrible. You have to be able to adjust as a QB in this weather is you are going to play in Cleveland. No excuse.

I don’t think he was nearly as bad as his numbers.

The game plan and play calling were probably a little too conservative in the face of the weather.

I have a feeling that Stefanski wanted to hammer the Raiders on the ground like the Raiders actually to did the Browns, but the Raiders front was more up to the challenge tha Browns front was.

The four stone cold drops definitely didn’t help the cause.

He was definitely not the reason we lost this one. Honestly, Landry is the guy who cost us this game. He couldn't haul in that first touchdown and had another absolutely horrendous drop that would have been a first down. I'm not going to give him too much shit for the second dropped touchdown pass, though, as he got murdered on that one.

But still, between the bad Bryant fumble and the egregious drops, one of which was a touchdown and the other two of which would have been first downs, you can't blame Baker for this loss at all. Anyone doing so is clearly just box score hunting and not actually watching the games.

It's funny, because on the replay he actually bobbled the (perfectly placed) ball before getting drilled. If he had caught it clean he may have held onto it before getting hit. Regardless, game was practically over with at that point.

The defense giving up two 8+ minute drives and generally getting steamrolled the entire game was the problem.
 
It feels like Baker is a QB that needs a lot of things to break his way to succeed. Yes their were drops but baker isn’t a QB who can overcome too many things. He’s limited.
