Has there ever been a more insecure QB than Baker Mayfield?

[RunKC]

Can’t believe this guy is still being looked at as a “future star”. If anybody should be compared to Jay Cutler, it’s him.

Actually..he’s worse

He talked shit on the Texas QB while he’s in the NFL, he took shots at his old coach who wasn’t even with the team anymore and continued doing it in the offseason, he talked shit on Rex Ryan and now he’s talking shit on Instagram comments.

Good God you dumb mother****er. You would think he spends as much time doing this petty bullshit as he does studying for a game.

He has shown talent, but man this guy is not someone you want on your team when things aren’t going well.

More reason to be thankful we have Mahomes.

Only Mahomes, Drew Brees, Russell Wilson and Deshaun Watson had a higher Adjusted Yards Per Pass Attempt than Mayfield’s 8.65, and no passing offense was better, per Football Outsiders’ DVOA (opponent-adjusted efficiency metric) than Cleveland’s.

Tempo is another issue. Last season, per Football Outsiders, the Browns ranked fifth in average seconds per offensive play — in other words, using pace to dictate to a defense and to prevent that defense from substituting personnel and creating the situational advantages. This season, the Browns rank 20th, and they’ve gone from 26.99 seconds to 29.05 seconds per offensive play. Adding to the problems, in spite of taking longer to snap the ball, the Browns are using significantly less pre-snap motion, taking away a key to deciphering the defense. The Browns used a lot more pre-snap motion last year, giving Baker a lot more information on the defensive scheme prior to each snap.

The tape backs this up conclusively, as do the stats. Per Pro Football Focus, Mayfield has completed 67.9% of his passes with three touchdowns, two interceptions and a passer rating of 92.3 on pass plays in which he’s in the pocket less than 2.5 seconds. On longer-developing plays in which he’s in the pocket 2.5 seconds or more, he’s thrown for no touchdowns with three interceptions, and he has a passer rating of 48.0. Through the first three games, Mayfield has been involved in longer-developing plays 51.7% of the time.

Bottom line, Baker can be accurate and efficient, IF someone calls the correct plays, IF more pre-snap motion is involved, and IF the OL plays even marginally better.

Those are the facts, Jack...

And what are the facts this year?

Oh and that OL he drafted..Austin Corbett? That guy is a backup and he was taken inside the top 35 picks.

Dorsey hires Kitchens, drafted Mayfield and made all of the other personnel moves.

He was depicted as much more than he really is. Andy is the reason for that still is to this day.

That's a stretch and a half. As I've said before, the biggest culprit is haslem. The haslems refused to fire hue Jackson because he was a close family friend. Because of that, hue had to be fired and they ended up hiring a reject coach who had a Romeo like mid-season turnaround. Shitty coach who took another coach's team to a strong second half. Sure Dorsey deserves blame for relying on kitchens. But i don't think he was left with much of a choice considering how popular kitchens was with Mayfield.

People have been talking shit about him since Day 1. You might say he has a reason to be a bit insecure.

Right. But his points about personnel stand. He deserves a lot of credit for a lot of good moves here, but he's got to eat the OL, scheme be damned.

If he plays better no one will be talking. Outside of beating crap teams I don't see much that leads me to believe he's anything but average.

He let some success last year and the talking heads inflate his ego. He needs to focus on playing and not spend so much time getting into arguments on Twitter, like he's some high school girl.

Essential reading on exactly how shitty Haslem is.

His ego has been heavily inflated for a long time. Parents spoiled him.

To be fair he’s not doing coke in front of tmz.

Gotta give Baker and his teammates credit today. They kicked the crap out of the Ravens in Baltimore. Serious wakeup call for Harbaugh's squad after the media has been giving them so much praise the last few weeks. Browns needed a big win like that and now we'll see if they can turn that into real momentum.

Ravens had their Superbowl last week and were flat.
