Haven't had one for a while now, and then this season they gave away their best weapon and a pile of other players fired their HC and basically decided to turn the team into a dumpster fire. No QB is going to be successful in that situation. Much less a young QB brought in from CLE after an injury-riddled season.
Plus, Baker literally put CLE back on the map in his first three years there. Gave them their first double digit W season since 2007. Got to the playoffs for the first time in over a decade and won a playoff game. Nearly beat the Chiefs, if not for a risky but very timely tackle by Dirty Dan.
Did all that with three HCs and 2 or 3 OCs to deal with at the same time. He did okay in CLE. Not his fault he keeps having to play for shitty franchises.

Easily the best defense of Mayfield I've ever seen, well done
He certainly did have to juggle some tough, ever changing circumstances... and managed to hit some important marks any shithole franchise needs to hit if they want to ascend
