Baker Mayfield: Fire The Cannons

[CBBI]

Calm down, little guy. Don't be so fucking dramatic. Besides, we haven't talked forever and this is how you come at me? Sheesh.

Roll the tape on that. Odell runs right to the LB. Either OBJK or Hunt works better than what he actually did.

Not my fault you said something goofy and incorrect.

And look I've watched the play repeatedly.

Mayfield's first read is DPJ on a double move to the right. DPJ ran a quick out and Baker pump faked as DPJ released into a go route along the right sideline.

The corner did make illegal contact with DPJ on the double move, which probably would have been flagged had Baker thrown the ball. Unfortunately, Baker for whatever reason - and I don't have the All-22 yet to see exactly where the safety was - but he didn't throw the ball even though DPJ appears to have beaten his defender up the field even with the contact (SEE UPPER LEFT CORNER OF SCREEN)



So Baker comes off his primary and there's Beckham right in front of his face with a clear passing window. This throw has to be ripped immediately. It just has to. Beckham's defender is closing in, but if Baker is on time and on target, it's gonna gain at least 6-7 which would set up a 3rd and manageable at worst.

Of course Baker hesitated like he often does instead of trusting his eyes and letting it rip and that hesitation allowed the defender to get too close to Beckham for Baker to feel comfortable making the throw.

But to suggest that Baker should have thrown to Hunt here is just laughably incorrect.

Baker mentioned in his postgame presser a missed PI call on both DPJ and Higgins on the same play late in the game. Anyone know what play he was talking about? Is there a video of it somewhere? I don't recall seeing it live.

I think all these screenshots potentially intimate is that Baker’s eyes are just slow right no. Kind of like the Felton play last week. He isn’t getting through his progressions and he’s getting in spots where when he finally gets off his first read his second has already run himself in to traffic or the 3rd option just isn’t open.

His eyes have been too slow his entire career IMO. It's his biggest weakness along with his inability to play under duress.

Baker has never been a QB who plays with a significant amount of anticipation. He rarely "throws guys open" or throws to a spot he knows his WR will get to.

He needs to see a guy come open before he's comfortable letting it rip and even then he usually waits another half a second to let it rip.

I remember seeing Higgins getting tackled when Baker threw to him. I don't know where DPJ was on that play.

The 2nd and 10 pass play on the Browns second to last drive. The Browns ran a double move for DPJ which was the first read for Baker considering he pump faked that direction. DPJ was clearly impeded with on the double move, but Baker needs to throw the ball for the ref to have no choice but to call it IMO.

He didn't throw it and the refs let it go.

This day and age man.. Emily... ignore the few people. No need to make a damn post for more attention.

Man Baker's camp running with this narrative that he gets no love here is something.....................

I'm telling y'all, I don't like the way Baker's camp has handled things recently. They need to stop putting out these defensive statements. They didn't put any of these statements out when he had bad games last year. Where was this prior to the team having Super Bowl expectations?

GTFOHWTBS. Play ball dude. The nerve to act like Baker Mayfield hasn't gotten any credit for what he's done here lolololololololololol

He’s always needed to find an edge for some reason. He was drafted first overall and he acted like he was a UDFA that no one believed in.

It’s pathetic.

It’s why I was saying I really don’t give a shit what Urban’s wife is like. She may be the biggest cunt in America, but getting off social media is the correct call.

You got OBJ making hype videos and predictably not coming through.

You got the Baker clan fighting against some minority of Browns fans complaining about him, which I flat out do NOT see great QB’s doing.

Everybody is human. Everybody gets upset. But nobody is obligated to respond ON SOCIAL MEDIA TO THE PUBLIC ABOUT EVERYTHING.

Out of curiosity, where are Baker and Emily getting their opinions about Browns fans complaining about them?

Is this from private messages? Cruising comment sections? Is it actually happening?

I don’t follow anything that isn’t posted here or sent to me.

The more they do this, the more I do want him out.

Emily needs to stop. If I’m Baker, fuck that is embarrassing. 90% of the hate the guy gets is national anyways. Good grief.

 

[Vee-Rex]

I'm not even sure if that's a completed pass if he throws it and the safety makes a beeline toward OBJ on that.

 

[Henry Tuttle]

I think it’s probably a better choice than the hail mary but definitely not as egregious as the live game video looks.

Comments in various game threads on Reddit yesterday and the blurb on the browns power ranking on ESPN.com are calling out a good amount of fans trashing Baker excessively
