Week 1 will be fun.

.

BAKER IS GOING TO BEAT JAKOOBIE BISCUIT IN GAME 1....Hahahahahahahahahahahahahaahahaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

It was inevitable. I wish him good luck.

Baker traded to the Panthers. At least he didn't go to Pitt.

Good luck Baker & All the best. You'll need a lot of luck because the Panthers will be a dumpster fire - hopefully you play well enough to secure your next deal 2023.

I do wish him well but I am glad that this drama is over.

x2.

At the end of the day, Carolina got him for a conditional 5th and $5M in salary. That's not much.

And we didn't have to cut him or burn a roster spot all season waiting.

Wow why would they want a washed up QB? I will always root for him except when he plays us. Thanks Bake great memories during your brief stay.

Good luck Baker. I'm sorry it didn't work out for you here. I was really pulling for you from day one. If I may add, somethings here never change. We got our usual 5th round pick for a former #1 pick of ours. Staying with tradition!!!! Although I realize a move had to be made. At least we are now past this, thank God!!!

I wish Baker luck and thank him for what he did for us. There is a saying, "you don't know what you got till it's gone." He will be missed. Now we have Watson, who could be suspended for the season, and what's their names as backups.

OK now maybe the Cleveland "media" can focus on the actual guys who will be playing for the Browns this season. And before anyone starts complaining about what the Browns got in this deal, just remember they got rid of a guy who many claimed would be a backup anywhere else. So ask yourself - what would you give up for a backup QB? Certainly not much. Good luck Baker. Not as good as a #1 should be but not as bad as he has been portrayed since he got injured. I think the front office and the "genius" HC hung him out to dry by letting him go out continuously after his shoulder got messed up. Anyone who occasionally watches football knows he shouldn't have been on the field NO MATTER what the player or doctors said. The adults in the room failed miserably at their jobs when they needed to act in the best interest of the team. Let's just hope that the remaining QBs on this roster who actually play this season can produce. And thank you Baker for bringing back the passion to the lake front.

Yep.

I was over it when we got Watson.

Glad it's over. Now -on to the season.

Time to start a Brissett thread - for good or ill.

Adios and good luck. Thanks for most of the good Browns memories since the return.

That's how it works out when you put yourself in a terrible bargaining position with zero leverage. They had to ship baker out of town and the entire NFL knew it.

Because he is all that is left. Not saying he is washed up but he wasn't their preferred choice.....that was Watson.

If I were our coaching staff, I'd start giving Jacoby a lot of practice reps. You know what they say, practice makes perfect!!!!!

Good luck with that. People still talked about Duke Johnson for years after he was traded. And hell, he was the back up RB.

I wasn’t a fan of drafting him. That said his play won me over enough to let it ride for another season. He had a couple of stretches of play that we haven’t seen on this team, short of DA’s big season, in decades. Big, explosive plays. High scoring affairs. Etc. I did have doubts about his ability to win when it mattered. But again was willing to give him another season to play it out.
That said, here we are.

I can’t say that I ever really watched a Carolina game with any interest. This season I can see flipping to the Carolina games during commercials to check in on him. I wish him well.

Onward.
Go Browns!!

Who was better Baker or Couch?

Good luck to Baker and I hope he can do what it takes to find success.

As I've always done with all our players we released or traded; I wish them well except when they play us.

so it goes from:

Mayfield
Darnold
Allen
Rosen
Jackson, in order by ranking, to:

Allen
Jackson
Mayfield
Darnold
Rosen, in reality.

and Mayfield and Darnold on the same team means Carolina has no QB for the future at this moment.

Wish him well. He came in here was part of the spark that got things going. 2020 was tons of fun, and we got to see glimpses of that through the cloud of injury last year.

He's not without his warts, but I do think he can still be successful in this league. Hope the coaching he gets in NC helps him... he basically got acquired for a ham sandwich, Carolina has very little committed to him other than probably not having much else at the position this year.

FWIW, if he can't take the starting job from Darnold and the rookie, then I guess we have our answer.

Yeah, they're stuck with a QB who made the playoffs the last season he was healthy and paid peanuts for him. Sad isn't it?

Baker and Hollywood Higgins reunite!

I didn't want to draft Baker I wanted Josh Allen, but Baker grew on me, I want to thank him for the best years since our comeback, playoffs beating the Steelers in the playoffs and a lot of exciting football. I am not sad that he is gone but I hate having to face him in the opener, I hope he has a good career in Carolina (Except when we play them) bye Baker it was interesting

The opener should be interesting, to say the least. LOL

The biggest question now is whether or not Robbie Anderson's father has a video camera.

In all seriousness, I hope it works out for Baker. Not in week 1.

How many INTs will Baker throw week 1...2,3 or 4.

Good luck Baker. You gave it your all In Cleveland. You embrased the fans and the city. I'm sorry that it didn't work out for you or the Cleveland fans. I wish you the best of luck in the future. You deserve it bud.

they paid peanuts for a former #1 overall pick. i'm not sure there's a great track record of #1 drafted QBs with little success with their first team, being more successful with their new team.

since 99:

Tim Couch
Michael Vick
David Carr
Carson Palmer
Eli Manning
Alex Smith
Jamarcus Russell
Sam Bradford
Cam Newton
Andrew Luck
Jameis Winston
Jared Goff
Baker Mayfield
Kyler Murray
Joe Burrow
Trevor Lawrence

not exactly a top tier list of #1 overall QBs with great careers, especially when accounting for the QB's who moved teams.

Wonder if Jake Trotter will be following Baker to a new city again?

It doesn't matter if you are picked #1, #101 or #256.. All you have done to that point is bought yourself a ticket to the dance. What you do on the dance floor is what keeps you in the game.
