c'mon. His current QB rating is only 2 pts less than Mayfield right now.
Oh.. Oops. 102 pts less.
Yeah, Stanton backing up and mentoring Mayfield was good his rookie year. I question how much value he's really going to provide going forward. I don't even really care about signing a quality back up...but just getting somebody on the team to develop with potential. Probably be addressed next draft.
This is why we should have signed a quality backup. If baker goes down a few games were done.
Honestly, this team is Baker and so I'm not too mad about not having a quality backup QB to cover. We live and die with Mayfield - as we should - and a lot of our success should be contingent on him playing and him excelling - as it did, late last season. We have a whole bunch of pieces and stars but ultimately, when Baker succeeds, the rest of our team succeeds along with him. It can be a risky formula, but for a franchise like ours, it's a risk I'm pretty content with taking.
Does Duke Johnson really have a carry?
