It would be as entertaining as watching Teddy Bridgewater or Sam Darnold try to play QB.

Neither is Baker, but one of these guys does not cost 18m and draft capitol. We need to see our rookie before the next draft, Period.

He is below Kirk for me, Kirk consistently puts up top 10 QB stats, Baker is an every other year type of guy. I would rather avoid the headache altogether. It is a one year rental for Baker which would probably lead to a stupid decision to extend him. I would like to know what Corral has before next years draft.

Kitchens was only there because Mayfield wanted him. That browns team had very few holes outside of needing consistent QB play. That is why they traded away so much for a QB with major character concerns and handed him a boatload of guaranteed $. If the Browns did not think they were ready to compete for a super bowl with a good QB, they dont make that trade. If Baker is so great, why is he sitting in Cleveland with no one willing to take him to be their starter? At his point he could be had for a late round pick as long as the team is paying his 18m salary, that is a huge bargain for a legit starting QB, yet he is still in Cleveland? Yea..... Dont forget Bakers first choice was the Colts, they said thanks but no thanks and took an old ass Matt puddle Ryan

Yes they do. OR how many commercials a guy has been in. Having 15 TV commercials does not make you a good QB.

I thought we should have built the OL. I was dreaming about that since Nate Chandler and Byron Bell protecting Cam.

That guy was talking about drafting Fields with our 1 last year after trading for Darnold.

This would be the fuging worse case scenario. We dont need baker at all, much less on a long term deal. He does not have the talent to carry a middling team to the playoffs, his browns team was loaded with talent.

His roster and coaching was also significantly better in Cleveland. He is not bringing the rest of his team with him, all we get is Baker. This is a guy whose team decided to trade away the farm to replace him after picking him #1 overall, he is damaged goods. I trust his own teams evaluation of him over some random guys on the internet. I will double down, if we trade for baker he does not break 20 td passes and he throws for double digit ints.

You think more highly of him than I do. I dont think Baker is anywhere near good enough to take this HC to the post-season. His browns team was loaded with super bowl quality talent, all they needed was a real QB.

Yea that would be great, so instead of wasting our 2nd round pick, 4th rounder, and 6th rounder on a QB last season, we could have wasted our first on a QB who was just as shitty last season. That is not good team building. Just to recap a 1st,2nd,4th,and 6th and still no answer at QB.....yea thanks but no thanks.

Sure it does it keeps us on our current trajectory of a new trash ass, throw away, left-over QB every season. Start Corral and forget about these bums like Jimmy Generic and Baker Mayfield.

I dont understand how these guys that make millions to do their job think Baker Mayfield is worth trading for. He was the obvious weak link on a stacked browns roster. He is a huge prick. His teammates do not care for him. We do not need this diva in Carolina. fuging Stupidity.

I dont dislike either of them, just expecting more, especially from Burns. We all thought Burns could be one of the top pass rushers in the league, but his season high is 9 sacks 2 years in a row. He also has problems stopping the run. The truly elite guys are getting 15+ and stopping the run.

They both suck. You dont trade away your draft for several years to get rid of a guy that is any good. I hope we have learned from our retread mistakes and just move on with what we have.

9m dead cap, we have an out next year, no way he plays for us next season on a 21m cap hit.

We cant really cut him till next season, he has a 20m dead cap if cut this season. fug him though, no reason he should not be at OTAs, he is a lesser player getting paid like a superstar because of where he played college ball. He should be at all team activities.

A contender for what? A wild card playoff exit? The whole point of drafting rookie QBs is to build around their low salary until you have to pay them.

Or he could become just an ok QB not top 10 or anything and then act like a little bitch in year 3 and sit out for a new contract. Murray is setting the example, hopefully it fails, fug this clown.

People act like we are missing out on something, I bet no one on that offense misses him. Dude had an elite OL and running game and was mediocre. Imagine if he had to play in Carolina with no CMC and the OL we have had the past few years. He would be getting boo'd as hard as Sam and Rhule.

Murray is trying to get paid before the Cardinals figure out he is not that good. He cant risk playing another full season.

Lol you dont trade away a massive draft haul to replace a winner. We dont need the leftovers of Jimmy Generic or Baker. Their teams spent a crazy amount of resources to replace them, that should be a huge red flag, they both suck.

Yes I do. A lot of NFL guys would have never made it through school without football. There is nothing else they can do and rake in the kind of money they make for the vast majority. Not everyone is getting a cushy 300m announcer job when they retire.

It is a valid concern given the past 2 years the offense was centered around CMC being the #1 option and he missed most of both seasons. I dont want to see a repeat either, maybe you are ok with rolling the dice on him staying healthy, but I hope our offense has a more varied approach this season.
