You know some ppl here will convince themselves that getting Baker is a good move.. I promise..

Getting the best QB we’ve had on the roster since 2017 Cam would not be a good move? You’re crazy.. if you can get him cheap and/or while unloading Sam’s contract you do it immediately

Holy crap that tweet of the video of Mayfield dropping an F bomb is hilarious.

fug that.. They take Sam and give us some picks.. They fuged up now they have to deal with it..

I’d prefer just rolling with Sam and taking the blow.  We made our bed.  Gotta lie in it now.  Draft a QB next year and worry about protection for him this year.  Profit.

He’s better than Darnold just because of his personality, Darnold is a Mary Sue that can’t lead a locker room

Darnold is an over powered female character in a book or movie? That's where I've seen the term Mary Sue used the most.

Who didn't see this coming the second he was drafted?

I am one of those if the price is right. As the number 1 pick in the draft he hasn't played poorly. He has had multiple systems and little stability over his career.  I think with a competent OC and our weapons he could be good.

He survived Hue Jackson in Cleveland of all places and still had a great year in 2020.  He was looking good this year until his injury.   This guy is not Sam Darnold.  I was a big fan of Baker’s in that draft and wanted him to go #1, and now he’s the only available one with the swag needed to give this boring ass team some juice

The fact this guy's career has been a clownshow to this point was kinda expected, esp if you saw that police tackle video from when he was in college. This situation is perfect and the Browns are right to seek an upgrade. And I say this fully admitting he was injured last year and that probably contributed to his down season. But his rep is still largely built off his rookie season.

What number will he wear here?

Anyone that flirted with him fuged up.

Baker is a Rodgers like diva with 1/10th the skill. Not worth the headache

I kind of agree. That's why I've been saying that if you're entertaining trading for Mayfield just draft Howell. Similar talent with a much better head on his shoulders.

Imagine the fits Baker would've thrown playing in that UNC offense this year. Howell just kept his head down and did everything he could to keep that team competitive.

And Howell isn’t due for a contract.  Trading for Baker is a bad idea.

Darnold is also pissed and is demanding a trade!
