Jacoby was 17 of 22, which equates to 77.3 completion percentage. This follows his 81.% percentage last week in Baltimore. He threw for 278 yards last night, w/a 12.6 average per attempt. That is an outstanding number. He threw for a TD and ran for another. He did not have an interception or a fumble. His QBR was 81.3, which is great. His rating was 133.7, which is also very high.
Meanwhile, Baker Mayfield was benched in favor of PJ Walker.
For those of you who keep questioning the point of the thread, go back to the original post and read the comments that steve made. Combine that w/all the BS from the Fabulous Baker Boys all offseason and you'll have your answer. If you are offended by the comparison, don't freaking read it.
Back to Jacoby. The guy has had a couple of poor games, but he has actually played very well this season. Far above anyone's expectations, including my own. Certainly far better than those who repeatedly claimed that Baker was a superior qb. His PFF ranking is 8th best in the league at 77.5, which is close to elite.
Meanwhile, Baker is 38th out of 38 ranked qbs by PFF and his QBR is 33rd out of 33 ranked qbs.
Maybe it's time for some of you to admit how freaking wrong you were?
As I previously posted: "Actually, if you're going to be so inclined to continue to beat up on a QB that isn't even here anymore, the least you could do is compare apples to apples instead of trying to prove your argument with pure trash. If you have to compare to satisfy your blatant hatred for the player, at least compare the replacement to the former's prior results before you get on here skipping through la la land like you proved something. The team as a whole has basically the same nucleus in 2020, 2021, and 2022. If you're hell bent on comparing Brissett's play to the former QB, at least compare it to whether we actually are getting better play or not on this team, the Cleveland Browns."
No one is interested in what is happening to Mayfield in Carolina. The point of your preseason posts was and has been that with Mayfield gone the Browns would get better safer QB play from Brissett than when Mayfield was here. Again, the stats tell a completely different story than what you are trying to sell on this forum.
Updated Results through 8-games:
Brissett 2022 Browns - 3 wins, 5 losses - 163/255, 63.9% - 1862 yards - 7 TD's - 5 INT's - 94.6 QB Rating - 16 sacks - 5 fumbles
Mayfield 2021 Browns - 4 wins, 4 losses - 136/204, 66.7% - 1699 yards - 6 TD's - 3 INT's - 102.0 QB Rating - 22 sacks - 4 fumbles (played injured for 6 of 8 games)
Mayfield 2020 Browns - 5 wins, 3 losses - 137/223, 61.4% - 1514 yards - 15 TD's - 7 INT's - 103.0 QB Rating - 11 sacks - 1 fumble
When you compare apples to apples instead of skewing the numbers, the Cleveland Browns are "NOT" getting better QB play at the position compared to the last 2-years as you so stated in your opinion. If fact, the injured Baker has outperformed Brissett in the categories you deemed so vitally important, and an uninjured Mayfield is significantly better. That doesn't mean that the position will not be upgraded with Watson but that's a different story.
Once you get the Carolina Panthers out of your head and do a real comparison - you'll understand that you were incorrect in your opinion and should probably admit you were wrong. I won't hold my breath though.
