He was really impressive ... really no mistakes that I can remember. Completely accurate and poised .. what a difference when he came in the game.
And that's after no practice w/the 1s

It was fun.
It became electriic the moment he entered the game.
Hue lucked out that TT got hurt. Had it not happed, we would have seen a 2nd half much like the first.

Baker Mayfield was not afraid to throw the ball in the middle of the field. Drastic difference between Mayfield’s pass chart and Tyrod Taylor’s prior to his injury.   https://twitter.com/NFLDraftJoey/status/1042991875664240640

Just over two games for a 3rd rounder. Device, you called it on Baker! Well done. Now, I'm gonna go back and look at those past conversations pre-draft between you and Pitdawg/Vers. Should be a good laugh.

It’s only one game but the anticipation, the progressions, the ball jump exploding off his hand. This is how I felt and still feel.

If Hue continues with can't pass Taylor, can't push deep Taylor then I think this WR core will freak out more than the fans. Taylor was not seeing and/or taking chances. Taylor was not delivering catchable balls on plays that were basically right there. Taylor hasn't looked good outside of running the ball since week one.

I was wrong about Baker Mayfield!!! I thought it was a terrible draft pick but the kid looked awesome last night. I hope he continues to look great like that.

It's interesting to watch how good Njoku can be when we actually decide to throw in the middle of the field.

j/c: Hue Jackson says he needs to "look at the tape" before naming his starting QB for Week 4 I hope this is just mumbo jumbo for the media.

I'm prepared for an occasional "scratch my head moment" but this kid is gonna learn fast, grow his skill set and adjust totally to the NFL game. Might be a sometimes bumpy ride but it'll be fun.

In Hue's defense, he always says he'll need to "look at the tape". I think it is just press conference filler.

Confirms exactly what I was saying about him being able to make every throw. That scatterplot has balls thrown in every sector on the field almost. Kid can make every throw and do well doing it...

Nice performance from Baker. Obviously a couple throws need to be cleaned up, but overall a very impressive performance being put into his first game down 0-14 and without having gotten many first team reps.
The difference in throwing ability was plain as day as soon as Baker came in. It was fun to watch as the Browns had a real, modern NFL offense again.

I just watched from the moment he came in until the very end again. Unless he threw it away, most all the balls he threw were catchable. Great arm, leader, we got our guy.  Look how happy everybody is!

This is his patented remark. Most likely a classy move on Hue's part to talk with Tyrod first about the situation... and not throw him under the bus for all his hard work.

Yeah most of his throws were excellent-- he's accurate and throws a very catchable football.
The two throws I was alluding two were one late in the half where he made a dangerous throw on a sideline route (could have been returned for a pick six) and another in the third that should have been intercepted in the end zone.
Don't get me wrong, it was an excellent debut. I'm not trying to damper the enthusiasm, they're just things to work on and I'm sure he will. That was about as impressive of a debut from a rookie QB as I've ever seen (the other one that is close on PFF's list, Carson Wentz against the Browns, wasn't quite as enjoyable.)

This is his patented remark. Most likely a classy move on Hue's part to talk with Tyrod first about the situation... and not throw him under the bus for all his hard work. Agreed. Plus, TT is in concussion protocol, and quite frankly, deserves the respect as a team leader and NFL vet, to not make the instant decision to switch less than 24 hours after the game, even if Hue knows in his heart who will start. I think this is a good approach by Hue. #FireHueToday

For my own sanity, i couldn't watch TT any longer ... the lack of downfield threat, the lack of quickness in his reads/release ... just awful QB play

and another in the third that should have been intercepted in the end zone.
During the game the announcers said that and I have heard it repeated several times. But that isn't what I saw. My interpretation is that the defender who "should have intercepted it" was running one way, the ball was thrown behind him, and he made a great play to twist his body and get a hand on the ball knocking it down I only saw it as it happened. I haven't seen any replays, nor have I watched it on the internet. If someone wants to re-look at that and tell me that I am completely off base I will accept it. But that was my impression as I saw it.
Am I perfect? No

Is it me or did it look like TT flicks the ball with no follow through while Baker looks like he's actually throwing...the contrast in velocity and spin was quite noticeable

I have no problem with Hue stating "I have t look at the tape". For him to name Baker the starter 10 minutes after the game would be a bit premature. I think both players deserve the respect to hear from Hue directly, with an explanation for each.
NO reason to name next game's starter at last night's presser.

It looks like TT is afraid to just throw the ball.
I grew up playing baseball and was a pitcher.
I heard (too many times) Don't try to place the ball, just throw it.
And its's true.
When you let up and try to place the ball where you want it to be, you lose a lot of velocity. Accuracy too. It's why Derek Anderson could throw a pinpoint laser 40 yards downfield yet miss a 10 yard screen pass by 10 yards.
I that is what you are noticing.
