Being that DW4 smoked Baker Mayfield in the Orange Bowl


Mar 28, 2022, 5:34 PM

when they were both in college, and now has taken his job away in Cleveland, is it not strange that Mayfield has been mostly silent as that empty stadium he lived in?

Ha..76er

I had thought the same!

Mayfield was a pretty good QB considering his slightly above athleticism and was a gamer to watch (including against UGa in that unreal Rose Bowl game where he tried to get that victory all by himself).

Not going to put the Guy down too much since he gave us 1 or 2 Tombstones in the Graveyard.

LOL.

Speakin' of smokin', Ben Boulware set him on fire ... then doused him out.

This play from Shaq Lawson wasn't bad either.

Sometimes the road to the truth is so elusive it's confusing and reality becomes illusion.


They would probably want to review that play and call


Mar 29, 2022, 9:33 AM

targeting on Shaq nowadays. (It wasn't, but Hey, he hit him hard, might have hurted his widdle pride, can't have THAT!)

I'm pretty sure I remember seeing that Mayfield put out a "farewell Cleveland" message when the Browns entered the DW sweepstakes.

I think he quietly demanded a trade at that point since the organization was publicly shopping for his replacement.

The fact that Mayfield HASN'T been traded yet has got to


Mar 29, 2022, 10:02 AM

be the biggest insult to his pride right now. Because, you KNOW the Browns would take the first reasonable offer that came along, to get him out of there. So, the fact that he is still there means that, apparently, there is not much of a market for him.

That has got to be embarrassing for a former NUMBER ONE OVERALL pick in the draft. And, as I said in another post, it has to be beyond irksome for him that the same QB who beat him head to head in college has now swooped in and taken away his job in the pros.

Ending to the Watson Story a Work in Progress


Mar 29, 2022, 11:21 AM

Mayfield is no D Watson, the physical tools just are just not there and the Browns correctly realized that he was never going to be elite. But the 230 million contract will wreck this team. To get under the cap for 2022 they are paying him a base salary of 1 million and with bonus it is 10 million against the cap. For the following 4 years its jumps to 54 million per year! To add insult to injury the Browns will likely have to pay part of Mayfield's 18 million guaranteed money to get someone to take him. So for 2022 the contract maneuvering will get the Browns under the cap without too much damage. In 2023 the fire sale will begin. It will be interesting to see how much DW can get done with a limited supporting cast. He's going to be rich, but if winning was an objective I don't see it. Not unique to DW, all the top QB's face the same kind of trade hurdle, with Russel Wilson being in a similar boat. Mixed reaction from the Brown's fans with one local analyst comparing the mood in his first press conference to a funeral procession. Hope he can quickly settle the civil matters as a deposition during game week would become quite the distraction.

Deshaun is no stranger to wrecking teams from Ohio.

Maybe he just did this to relive his college days.

As a browns season ticket holder the above comments are not totally correct. The salary cap issues for 2023 are over stated. They have shifted a number of contracts to make the next several years work. That is why we have a harvard phd running the operation

I wouldn't worry too much about the cap hits down the road.


Mar 29, 2022, 5:15 PM [ in reply to Ending to the Watson Story a Work in Progress ]

the NFL seems to allow a whole lot of "contract restructuring" every year on every team, to kick that can on further down the road.

It's really too bad QBs don't really play each other. The defense smoked Mayfield, not Watson. it's also really too bad fans really don't understand that.

Wow, thank you so much for enlightening us Unwashed

Masses.

You are probably loads of fun at cocktail parties, too!

Baker did a lot of talking prior to Watson getting signed.

At this point Baker finally realizes that nothing good can come from him saying a word.
