Kitchens and Monken are really doing Mayfield a huge disservice with their horrible play calling. No one said shitty. He's average at best. The rookie TD record means nothing, sorry I know many in here want that to be some great accomplishment but it isn't. Mayfield has been extremely inaccurate this year. The OLine and WRs haven't helped him much but he hasn't been good. He's got 5 TDs and 11 INTs...bad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He properly lead the WR/TE a handful of times. Throwing it near someone isn't the name of the game. He throws it behind everyone. He almost bounced once that OBJ scoop with no reason to throw it low. When he has time and guys come open he's dangerous, unfortunately that doesn't happen much in the NFL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Face it, the Browns were extremely unlucky today. Catchable balls that became interceptions, and drive sustaining penalties against the Browns, and one crappy call against Landry that were drive killers.

I went fishing all day and didn't even consider watching the game. I felt confident Browns would play better but come up short. We're not the better team and we're not good enough to beat hardly anybody. Our team is simply cursed, and it's just the way it is. The fact we can't win a game at home might be the saddest shit in the league. All those poor people who bought into the hype. All those people who leave wondering if they will get their money back after selling the rest of their season tickets on StubHub. I won't lie, I had to laugh when I heard all hysterical things that happened today. You just can't make it up. Lol. Go Browns, the lovable losers who have thrown yet another season away.

I had this penciled in as a loss when the schedule was released purely based on the fact that Seattle’s a mature well coached team vs a rookie coach and inexperienced team. I didn’t watch most of the game as Sunday Ticket streaming didn’t work until the last 10 minutes of the fourth quarter. I watched them take the lead but had no doubt Russell Wilson would bring them back, however after over more than 3 min left on the clock I waited to see if Baker would surprise me and unsurprisingly he didn’t. Not that he’s a terrible QB but he hasn’t been coached to become a patient QB this season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great fan there going fishing instead of watching the game.... 2-4 and the season is over. Just go away. You and a few others are as bad with the negativity as Po is pumping Sunshine. I've already said- the Ratbirds play the Seahawks and Patriots next. Don't change your tune after we're tied for first in the division. Or you expecting the mighty running qb of the Ravens to beat them both? I sure as hell don't. The Ratbird byes are over, in case you didn't notice. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hx214 Posted October 14, 2019 Report Share Posted October 14, 2019 I’m not sure if most of the people complaining about Baker have been fans long enough to remember actually watching some of the QB’s the Browns have trotted out there.... Baker on a three interception day, still looks 100% better than anything the Browns have put out there in about 15 years (and that’s included horseballs Derek Anderson’s year) I’m just glad the team can stop drafting QB’s in the 1st round for a while and keep building a good team. Baker does need to play better, and make much better decisions on when and where to take chances, but I’ve seen enough to let him start for the next 3-5 seasons without putting a significant investment in a replacement. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare for even the best QB's to be elite from day one in the NFL. Always a steep learning curve the first 3-4 years. I'm not worried about him in the longer run.

I've watched every single QB since '99. Baker last year was the best one since then but this year he's becoming similar to many of them which I think is due to poor QB coaching this year. Statistically in the first 6 games he's indistinguishable from some of the worst we've had but I think better coaching will improve that.

Kvoethe Posted October 14, 2019 Report Share Posted October 14, 2019 You guys know waaaay more about his history and tendencies from college. From this year to last year everything looks forced. We dont run the ball enough... We turnover the ball too damn much... Baker needs to stfu and focus and get better. We need ward and greedy back. Remember the Ward article about his dad telling him to make sure they learn your name...well the only people who have learned it are the nurses at city hospital. We are a team of superior talented under achievers... Kitchens sucks...I cant tell if its a press conference or a Farm and field report on Wqed. Get a clue...run the effin ball in the redzone. /rant off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calfoxwc Posted October 14, 2019 Report Share Posted October 14, 2019 Antonio Cromartie, db, said something interesting - he said Baker is really talented, but is pressing to get the ball to Landry and OBJ too much, when it isn't there. Thinking about that, I think he's right. Teams double on OBJ, obviously, and Baker has still thrown the ball his way, when he had shorter, open receivers to throw to. It's bit him in the backside, as well as the Browns offense, here and there. As great as they both are...it probably isn't a high percent success rate they are going to get doing that. They will fix that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For me it’s just the way he throws the ball, it comes out like a NFL QB should throw the ball. Some of his throws that drop into WR’s hands 20 yards down the field through a 2x2 window. I once watch the fabled Brandon Weeden throw a pass to the WR so poorly he got called for intentional grounding... I’m never going back to those days. Never.

Yea, but the mighty Rams lost 3 in a row and look weak, KC lost 2 in a row, at home.

Combine the young, cocky kid at QB, a first-time ever head coach (never was so much a coordinator until now, on any level) and an owner who never seemed to learn about the value of stability, and, well, this is what you get. Is it correctable? I'm not sure. Can the team ever achieve success with this owner? Will Snyder ever win in DC? It's tough with an owner who messes so much up.

I've got the Ratbirds penciled in for maybe 7 or 8 losses the rest of the way out. Steelers? Did they find their mojo, or are the Chargers that bad? I'm more worried about Pittsburgh than Baltimore, winning like that with a backup qb was mighty impressive. Regarding Baker- I think he's learning pretty fast it's not as easy as it was last year when everyone has you targeted for their best shot.

jiggins7919 Posted October 15, 2019 Report Share Posted October 15, 2019 Btw, I re-watched game and I'm again completely shocked by three things. 1. Baker's uncomfortability at going deep. He threw the one to OBJ that was a circus catch, but even that was woefully unerthrown. Baker once again missed OBJ deep for yet another touchdown. Granted, it was 4th and 7, but Baker still threw it to a severely covered Landry. It was an AMAZING throw and catch, and I'm not complaining one bit about that, but Jesus Christ Mayfield. LET IT RIP TO THE DEEP THREAT. For the love of God, throw the ball down the field at least once per quarter. OBJ was disgustingly open, and we don't throw it deep NEAR enough. We had great protection...stretch the effing field. Baker simply doesn't throw touchdown passes, and we HAVE to figure it out or we won't win consistently. 2. Our missed XP was the catalyst to our undoing. After that, we went STRAIGHT into circle-jerk mode and we fumbled, intercepted, missed tackled, and blocked punted our way to a loss. I mean we couldn't force a fart without changing our underwear, and that kick...that one stupid XP was our undoing. 3. We got beat by the MVP of the league, and that just sucks for us. Some of the plays Russell Wilson made were just bonkers. Whenever they needed a play, he made it. 2nd and 22? No problem. 3rd and goal? He's your man. Gordian Knot? You got it. I mean it was UNCANNY how just about every time they needed magic, Russell made it happen. Tough loss against a mighty foe. Seahawks have too many problems on defense to go all the way, but they'll always have a chance with Russ. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canton Mike Posted October 15, 2019 Report Share Posted October 15, 2019 This hasn't yet been mentioned & is just a thought, but could Baker have an undisclosed injury he is trying to play through? Say, maybe a shoulder? He has taken a load of hard hits so far this season & pre-season. An injury could explain loss of accuracy & reluctance to throw deep.
