A couple pretty good former pro Football players turned medocre/bad analysts, along with many others (*NOT including Colin Cowherd*) all agree that Baker Mayfield is terminally too inconsistent to be a franchise Quarterback.
They of course had their opinions in the first place, as I've mentioned, based on 2019. (In fairness, the dumber of the two players compared Mayfield's 2018 rookie campaign to a toddler learning to walk: The parents are indulgent; don't expect much. But now, Mayfield is expected not to "fall down" any more in his third season).
They also dismiss the notion that the OBJ issue had anything to do with Mayfield's regression, and cite the Raiders game as their proof.
This is idiocy.
Mayfield completed fewer than 50% of his passes for 122 yards and a 65.5 passer rating, but his receivers teamed up to DROP over 5 passes, and the referees (pc crap aside) stole Landry's TD catch from him.
Despite rain, sleet, snow, winds at 25 mph with gusts up to 50 mph, Mayfield managed to deliver 18 of 25 targets on the money, but the zebras and receivers conspired to take 6 of those (including a TD) away from him.
How tf can you blame bad calls and drops on a Quarterback!?!
Derrick Carr completed 15 of 24 passes for a whopping 112 yards and a 90.3 QBR. HE couldn't do much in those conditions either, but at least his receivers caught his passes.
Hell, didn't these assclown analysts see those crazy knuckleball misses by both kickers (knock-knock: Anybody HOME?)
Comrade Mayfield did more than enough to win this game, and Stefanski and company get it.
The Dumb Jocks are confident that the Browns won't excersize Mayfield's 5th year option, and instead will make 2021 a "prove it" year for him, since they all agree that it's too late for Mayfield to prove himself as a Franchise Quarterback in 2020.
Don't get me wrong here: I worry about Mayfield myself. These clowns could accidentally be correct in their predictions, but could also be fulla crap:
As I mentioned, the Browns' Coaches know who to blame for dropped passes and bad calls, and that Comrade Mayfield Baker Mayfield did a good job in adverse conditions.
While these dumb jocks predictably blame this loss on the easiest target (the Quarterback they've been bashing all along), in reality the jury is still out on Baker Mayfield among real coaches, GMs, and analysts: He's looked good through the last TWO games, to any objective analyst.
I have fun watching lynch-mobs echo eachother and drown out more sentient voices, and Baker Mayfield is the second most perfect example of this there is.
Nevermind that: Mayfield has nine more games (and maybe the playoffs) to earn his fifth year, even though he's playing one of the weakest schedules in the NFL.
The dumber dumb jock (Sam Acho is actually very smart for a dumb jock) said "You're either a truck or trailer", and called Mayfield a "trailer".
He said that Mayfield needed an awesome supporting cast to win, because he is incapable of being more than a "game manager".
Kudos to this dumb jock for his metaphores, but he's still a dumbass:
Baker Mayfield kicked ass as a pre-OBJ/Coach Dorsey rookie with a bunch of guys named Joe. He wasn't an infant, and...jeez this guy is just too dumb to waste time on! He played in the NFL and learned NOTHING above his paygrade (just an expression--disgusting, aint it?)
The OBJ thing was NOT (smirk-chuckle) illegitamate (with few exceptions, dumb jocks rarely admit anything negative about any non-Quarterback).
The Browns enter the bye at the perfect time:
Mayfield himself has a cracked rib (etc). Garrett has an ankle and knee. LB Rodney Phillipsfield should be ready to rock (and make a difference dammit).
Harrison, Joseph, Johnson, Hunt etc can also heal up a little, and Teller and Chubb could well come back to start, just in time for maybe the weakest schedule in the NFL.
I can already hear Mayfield's permabashers telling you people that he hasn't "beat anybody" yet...
His stats won't be "all that" either, since by design he's a game manager with Chubb/Hunt in a ball control offense...you know, 220 yards, a TD or two?
...70% completions and over 9 yards per-attempt won't even register with these dumb jocks!
I'm sick of these clowns: They use wins and losses first, and will get stuck back off their old stand by W/L metric with a slew of "Yabuts" (probably before the bye is over):
Comrade Mayfield should "win" a bunch of games post-bye week. The dumbest "analysts" use wins and losses to grade Quarterbacks, because this is easy.
Stand by for these assclowns to change that rule for Baker Mayfield after the bye.
The Browns will win "in spite" of Mayfield. His W/L record will be illigitimate.
I get why Mayfield-bashers not named Cowherd are down on him (check my posts: I was close to declaring him a bust myself a couple weeks ago!)
But (like I said), if not for the drops and bad calls, Mayfield beats the Raiders and is 6-2. If you are citing this game to justify your prejudice against him, you are a moron (whether you played pro football or not).
DO YOU UNDERSTAND?
For that matter, where the hell was this "Browns demanding respect" after beating Cinci coming from? Which coaches or players were spewing locker room material? Who tf in this organization said "we don't get no respect", or anything like that?
These asshole anal lysts read articles (including mine) and attribute our opinions to the players/coaches!
Since Comrade Stefanski was hired as Head Coach, this team has been as socially disciplined as the Patriots, including OBJ and Mayfield!
These ass-hats are just making stuff up! Like with Trump!
But I digress okbye
