Baker is still on a rookie deal.  He actually isn’t being paid to be great right now.  OBJ is paid to be great.  Which he isn’t.  He isn’t a great NFL WR.  He is just a talented guy. 

and if it is all a Baker problem, why is it just OBJ that stands out as not working?  Goes back IMO to why he ended up Clev to begin with 

Even then, it can absolutely be a mix of two things. Can Mayfield need to improve AND OBJ be overrated/not worth his contract and any chemistry issues...?

No surprise a team would choose to retain a viable QB option vs another player in that situation.

Especially when the latter is a locker room cancer.

I have heard many NFL types say that OBJ is a hard worker. Michael Strahan just said it this morning. Sure, he's a diva like many NFL WRs, but I think it's pretty obvious that Mayfield hasn't played at an elite level and had neglected OBJ to actually both of their detriments. 

On an off note, most NFL types say that Mayfield is not an elite QB as compared to the top QBs in the game today. Smith just put his brand of exclamation point on it. Regardless if Mayfield is being paid to be "great"or not, even on the rookie deal, he's still being paid millions, and he's being paid to do better than he has done thus far.

The Giants couldn’t wait to get OBJ out of the building and now we see similar with the Browns.  Obviously not OBJs fault

Gettleman couldn't wait to get him out of the building notwithstanding his newly signed contract.

Of course the Browns couldn't wait to get him out of the building once his father pulled what he pulled. But the thing is, Mayfield was obviously overlooking OBJ. That is on Mayfield.

Yeah this is totally wrong.  Browns GM said it was much more than what OBJs father did.  OBJ barely cares about playing football most of the time.  Overrated is an understatement.

Bullshit! It doesn't square with everything I've heard from multiple NFL analysts.

    • I have been on the Bech bandwagon since well before the SR Bowl.  Hoping that he would stay a hidden gem and we'd be smart enough to grab him late.  I just don't think Morgan cares as much about WR as we do
    • No one had posted in a month.  I don't think any of us were watching
    • Here is how this draft could get mind-blowingly complicated--Interesting comment about Jags floating the Jeanty idea to lure Chicago into a trade.  I have to think Ben Johnson is going to duplicate in many ways the success he had in Detroit, and I have to think their free agency was following the blueprint Carolina designed last year (one that the Saints designed before them with Brees) and they upgraded all of their interior linemen.  RT in Chicago is set; Johnson loves RT Darnell Wright.  However, at LT, Braxton Jones is coming off a December injury and is considered to be in a competition for the position this year by at least a few fans on the Bears Wire.  His PFF score, however, was solid, posting an 80+ score in pass protection and 70+ score in run blocking.  He is in his prime.  However, in some of their fan mocks, the Bears are taking a LT.  I thought they needed an Edge to play 4-3 strong side across from Sweat, but they signed Odeyingbo to a pretty big contract in March. For the Bears, in my view, it comes down to TE or Running Back. Kmet is their #1 TE and he had 474 yards in that role, which was 25th in the NFL last season for TEs.  Adding Warren would help upgrade the TE spot and give them the ability to add around an estimated 80 yards of production per game.  The Bears have D'Andre Swift at RB, but could use a RB to pair with him for a desired 2 RB attack.  So if I am Da Bears, I stay at 10 and take Warren.  If the Jags want to move on from Etienne, then they will take Jeanty. I think, if I were the Jags (with 10 picks this year) I would take Mason Graham and not try to get an 11th pick.  It is a need position, and it seems to me the only reason they are toying with the idea of moving on from Etienne is because Jeanty is on the board.  That, to me, would be a luxury pick. New GM, I think he does not get cute--they take Graham if they stay at 5.  I might say the Jags' biggest need is Corner.  #5 is too rich for Will Johnson, but remember, they have 10 picks.  could they move up with Cleveland and take Hunter, giving them a CB and WR threat?  To me, with the draft capital they have, that is the move they should make.  Cleveland then could move back to #5.  Remember, Nick Chubb is an aging (29) free agent coming off an injury--so he is gone.  With an additional second rounder, the Browns move back and take Jeanty to give Flacco a running game. The Jags pick is very interesting, but I would not be surprised to see them move up.
