All you have is sour apples. You're no better than anyone else on this board at evaluating talent in the draft. You've spent years telling anyone willing to listen how great our team played in games we lost 37-10. lmao

Quit degrading everyone else then expecting respect in return.

I'm more than happy to be respectful to you when you show that same consideration to others. I'll be waiting.

But see, you can't stop blowing your own horn even for a minute.

You'll fart more football than I'll ever know?

Superiority complex much? lmao

You're so full of yourself nobody wants to stand down wind of you.

Coming from the guy who is calling others "stupid" and "dummies" on multiple threads, including this one.

bro you was pimping manziel HARD.

i cant believe youre trying to claim otherwise.

I love the fan and media outrage over Hue Jackson not naming Mayfield the official starter.

I would guess, a lot of those folks have probably never played team sports. You just don't handle it like that. We can rip on Hue Jackson for a lot of things, but what he's doing now is nothing different from what any other coach would do in his position.

You just don't go out and name your quarterback hours after the other guy had gotten a concussion. We all know Baker is starting next week in Oakland. We also know that in situations where one quarterback goes down and either the backup has a great game, or the starter's status is in question, that you aren't getting that answer until Tuesday.

I said in the postgame thoughts, that if the Browns truly wanted to redshirt Mayfield, that they should have probably made him QB3. But we all know that wasn't happening, because Hue Jackson and the rest of this staff need Mayfield to probably save their jobs.

But out of respect for your starting quarterback, who's a veteran on the team, and well respected within the league, you don't just name your quarterback immediately after.

The media is mad because they have to wait for their story, and some fans are mad because they don't understand how team sports work, and probably a small percentage actually believe he may name Taylor the starter for week 4.

In the words of the great Aaron Rodgers, there are a whole lot of people that need to RELAX.

Agreed. You don't do it hours after the game.


But, apparently it's already been decided.

Yeah, there is no doubt that they are preparing behind the scenes. Hue and his staff knew right away they were going to roll with Mayfield.

Official announcement probably late tomorrow.

Hue also knows that Mayfield is a hit away from Taylor coming right back in. Taylor is a professional and would have handled a knee jerk reaction like a pro, but Jackson is just waiting out of respect.

And that's a good point: Hue handled this with complete class. He didn't throw anyone under the bus. And like you say - 1 hit away from TT going back in. I'm glad he's been cleared to play (last I heard, anyway).......because, I don't want to see Stanton.

I agree that Hue has handled this situation right ... Unless of course he names TT the starter

i love how fans have already mentally prepped themselves to rip hue jackson over something that was never gonna happen anyway.

Been out, thanks for remembering me

Celebrating our win...

Nothing much to say, Jets looked like the browns and melted away, we for the first time in years took advantage of it.

Been drooling all this weekend on QB play.... so many great performance. Competition is really though, you really need something special.

Still would rather have Darnold over BM. Josh Allen is turning out great also.

watching the NFL all day yesterday with no rooting interests ... there are a LOT of QBs capable of winning games (way more than there were 3 years ago IMO)

Amazing QB play, in almost all games... Even Brees was doing crazy stuff...


And the athletic abilities are way off the charts, Wentz, Cam, Deshaun, so are the Arm displays... Mahomes and Allen... amazing throws Aaron, Flacco, Goff etc


Good times for the ones who love QB play

Mahomes, to me, is pretty freaking good ... it'll be interesting to see if he can keep this up

I don't see baker as a running QB at all..atleast not up here, he's moved around and tries to get outside while keeping eyes downfield. He's no Tyrod for sure

I agree. Did Baker even scramble once last game? I'm not saying mac is wrong here because his point makes sense. I'm just thinking/hoping that Baker's regularly-mentioned growth includes limiting the number of scrambles he makes.

This was the most impressive thing I saw during the game. He has the brass bells to throw the ball RIGHT AT the safety, knowing that Landry is about to break in front. Amazing for a rookie.

You got to have the utmost confidence in your arm strength to make that throw.

You can have the last word while tooting your own horn. Lots of people remember many times I've been right and many times I've been wrong. Just like you.

Hue Jackson: "I informed the group this morning that we're going to start Baker Mayfield and Tyrod will be the backup if healthy."

All of that drama by certain posters for nothing. LOL

What Drama, what Posters?

It is now officially official: Baker Mayfield going forward with his win under his belt.

Good luck, rookie man-child. Go win some games.

Hope he battles and wins and stays healthy.

Me too, Pat Shurmur.

Man, Iused to hate that. And the kiss of death: "We had a really good practice week." They did not put it on the field.

Ha, maybe he'll play his guts out like Butch Davis

As you said, there is no way to know about durability and injuries, so no sense adding that as a factor.

It's there for everybody. Some guys play whole careers without anything much, others a few games.

I think it is mostly dumb luck. Hard to plan for that.

You made a lot of progress with this post.

I agree with that 100%. You have to be smart. I don't want to see my QB trying to gain that extra yard unless it is a championship game.

I'd send Baker across town to work with a Indians coach on proper sliding techniques.

Then you can see the easy screen pass he missed, that involved no risks and probably a bigger gain....

Safety was reading his eyes and he wasn't intercepted by luck...

Rookie play, IMHO, nothing outstanding, BM had much better plays than this one.

Guess there is nothing you can do about that if you were the old Browns. I have a feeling our Browns can play that game if pushed that way.

Every other sport has their method of payback. Plunk my player, I'll plunk yours. Rough my goal scorer, you bring in the goons to rough theirs. If they start throwing elbows in the paint, you bring in your guy to throw elbows.

Thats the throw that has me the most giddy ...

This kid has a shot ...

Screen pass was a 5 yard play, LB was all over it. Safety never stood a chance, ball was thrown on a rope with pinpoint accuracy. You watched a QB with a quick read attack in the red zone. Novel idea, I know. Man, I don't know what you're hoping to see but I suspect you're going to be very disappointed.

Damn man I see you at it again. You make some unsupported statement like the bull you say is unquestionably true but you have NOTHING to substantiate it. You could at least give a Youtube link and a time stamp to the play you refer to but you don't do $h!t. THEN you say that the failed screen that YOU DON'T SHOW; COULD have led to a bigger gain than the play SHOWING Juice ACTUALLY making a no window reception.

Then you offer conjecture that the easy screen pass he missed, that you say involved no risks would probably have resulted in a bigger gain. Based on what? We're supposed to swallow your prognostications? You got no credibility dude. None!
