Baker Mayfield: Fire The Cannons

Do Not Sell My Personal Information
There's no throwing lane. 2 DL with their hands up directly in front. He had to throw it high to get it over them. Maybe he could have lofted it more and tried to drop it in, but I don't see him just throwing an inexcusably high ball for no reason at all.
The arms go up after he pumps it tho… That is pitch and catch for most QB’s in receivers…He’s backing up, pumping, and then misses the guy with an off balance throw…

That is mental more than anything else…
 
People are really clamoring to trade Baker for... Mitch Trubisky and Kirk Cousins? That’s how low the bar is now?
I think Trubisky can be very bit as good as Baker is, in this offense, and he has mobility to boot, which will add a dimension to the offense. Mariota is another guy I like. Cousins at $35M/year I'd take a hard pass on.
 
I don’t think much of Baker, but I think a hell of alot more of him than this.

Trubisky cannot play at this level.
Exactly I’m pretty sure we are all in agreement if they can significantly upgrade at QB were all on board. But some of these names oof. They would be begging to have Baker back.
 

TA drawing an interesting connection here. I just want this offseason to end with Carr in a Browns uniform.

Which is a 180 from where I started this season evaluating Baker vs Carr..

Baker for Carr? I’d be all over that, but imagine we’d have to add a sweetener to get the Raiders to do that deal.

Would be amazing if the Browns could pull this off.
 
So the Patriots “absolutely loved Baker” pre-draft 2018.

I am sure their opinion has not changed after 4 inconsistent years and current ongoing rehab for a torn labrum. This is a phenomenal take — just like Baker to New Orleans — becuase…NO loVEs ShoRt QBs liKe BReEs!

Never understood the hot take of, team was in love with X player of X draft — so they MUST be interested.

Yes, this makes sense. But what is important is — what does Rex Ryan think?

Pretty sure McDaniels had a nice side-line view of Mayfield's performance up close at Foxborough this year...

Most starting QB's who switch teams usually go to a new team that they have some connection with weather it's coaching staff or front office personnel. Wentz went to IND and they had Frank Reich there who coached him in Philly.

Nathaniel Hackett who is Aaron Rodgers current OC is a finalist for the job in DEN.

Deshaun Watson has been linked to Brian Flores even after Flores was fired in MIA.

What we do know about Baker is that outside of CLE, NE was the only other team that considered moving up to draft him. I believe that they are even on record stating their admiration for him during that pre draft period. Now Nick Caserio is running the show in HOU and Josh McDaniels is being entertained by other teams and Baker could and should be available this offseason so it's not crazy to see that there may be a real connection there.
