QB Confidence Meter: 4​

​

Baker Mayfield’s Next Gen passing chart is full of green dots from Week 2. He was 19-of-21 passing in Cleveland’s win over Houston, an efficient albeit not incredibly dynamic afternoon. The question with Mayfield is contract-related at this point. The Browns feel good about him, but two interceptions and only one touchdown pass two weeks into the season isn’t going to add dollar signs to a future extension. Having nine incomplete passes, though, is pretty impressive.​

I doubt the browns are going to use counting stats to determine much

Some really really inaccurate throws today. But also some great throws today ‍

It's Odell's fault.

Clearly.

Is it just me, or does it seem like every so often, Baker has a game that starts off with over throws 50% of his targets until he settles down?

He does. Sometimes i wonder if he just throws the ball too strong/fast for the receivers too catch or just be able to make a catch.

Seems to me that he's just too amped up for some throws, plus he's become more risk-averse which is a good thing. A lot of his throws are placed where either his guy will get it, or nobody will get it. Put these together and it's pretty easy to sail balls over everyone's head instead of having it drop in just over the defender.

Absolutely stunned someone convinced Dieken to do this

2 passing TDs through 4 games and missed opportunities mounting up for a potential Super Bowl team is worrisome for my QB. Hope this is the reverse jinx he needs.

Brutal...
