I see now. Point still stands, the Browns have to pay a team to take Baker. He has too much money guaranteed.

How much do we have to pay to get rid of Darnold? could be a three way trade where the Texans take Darnold for a draft pick, we take Mayfield for whatever pick swap the Browns offer

Word is baker was gonna sit out even before the watson trade came about. He was prepared to sit out all year. Dont want this guy.

Which conveniently only comes out AFTER the Watson trade. That is 100% a leak from the Browns front office and more than likely not true just being used as justification for the trade after they've been dragged on the internet not only for acquiring Watson but structuring his contract in a way he faces little to no penalty for his inevitable suspension. 

The takes just a month ago were praising Baker for his grit and toughness playing through his injury that should have ended his season in week 2. Belive the exact quote from a teammate was "You could cut his dick off and he wouldn't fuging say poo"

I'll take that attitude every day of the week and twice on Sundays.

Sorry for that double post but yeah hes a very immature guy so he's HIGHLY pissed right now and highly motivated. He'll also be healthy next year bc he had a shoulder injury this year that should've shut him down for the season. I don't care for him long term but for one year, hell yeah. I'd give then a mid round pick for him if we can keep 6 overall and still draft Charles Cross. Might catch lightning in a bottle. But not for the 6th.

As for why anyone would want him, he played great at Oklahoma and does have a nice arm when he sets his feet but he's limited athletically and overconfident. He also didn't throw to O'Dell, who's actually still good. That's a red flag bc OBJ can still play. But if you support him with a solid running game and he's healthy you can have some success. One year deal to compete with Darnold, sure.

      Serious Thoughts Fellas What numbers would Bryce..

      By Icege · Posted

      Agreed. A healthy bit from column A (stats) and column B (film) paints the most accurate picture, which is currently that Bryce is not performing up to the standard a 1st round QB (let alone drafted #1 overall) is expected to (statistically). When we dig into the film to see why, we see that while he's having his struggles (not stepping up in the pocket, bailing out early, hesitating on some throws, making occasional bad reads, etc) the team that surrounded him last season was simply awful. Bottom 5 defense, bottom 5 OL, bottom 5 weapons... but somehow one player has to overcome ALL of that in their rookie season? Yeesh... Taking this season into consideration, he started where he left off last season and was rightfully benched. Since starting again, the team has gotten on its first winning streak in a few years and he's made good plays to keep them in the game. Is he lighting it up? Nah... but he is beginning to show the reason so many draftniks had him as QB1a for his class. Re: what the team does next season... who friggin knows anymore at this point T_T. Resign Dalton? Sign Jones? Draft somebody in the mid-to-late rounds? Go with another UFA? Maybe grab an FA that can compete with Bryce for the starting position and draft a rookie to sit and develop? Might be best of both worlds for the team, but ugh... not a fun position to still be in with question marks throughout the position group.

      Yeah, this is basically the same as asking, "What if Bryce Young suddenly had Patrick Mahomes brain, how would he do?" It isn't happening. This ship is beyond sailed. Send him somewhere else, let us move on and him move on.

      Dalton is too close to starting right now. If it hadn't been for a car accident, he still would be. Switching Dalton for Jones does nothing except reduce the backup's age by a decade. One is in his NFL prime, the other is almost in his NFL grave. Not a horrible move if you're trying to improve the team. We've got to get better as a team and a lateral move like that would improve the team. The problem isn't that he's close to starting. The problem is we have a GM that signed off on BY and didn't bring in any serious QB competition for camp, a HC that said yeah, he's my guy until BY poo the bed so bad he couldn't start him, and an offense that's limited because BY can't make all the throws a normal NFL QB can.  The problem isn't that Jones could be an improvement as a backup QB. The problem is he could be better than our "franchise" QB.
