![]() ![]() Well, you know what? It’s probably true that he is only a top 50 talent right now and Case Keenum gives the Browns a better chance to win.īut have Brown fans forgotten that this team went 12-6 last season and rang up 48 points on the Pittsburgh Steelers in Pittsburgh during a playoff game last year? How exactly did that happen if their quarterback is so terrible? Don’t even try to credit dear departed Odell Beckham, Jr. People want to kick Mayfield when he’s down and say that he has no talent, is the worst quarterback in the NFL, and the Browns need to cut him, blah, blah, blah. However, a major theme of this season has been to make wide receivers happy by feeding them deep balls, and that’s what he tried to do.

It’s impossible to throw accurately in the NFL while wearing a straitjacket. Scoring only 13 points versus the Detroit Lions is a red flag. Mayfield is injured, it’s as simple as that. He’s not in a position to help the team win versus the Baltimore Ravens. The coaching staff is going to have to intervene and set him down. Two balls went into the greedy paws of the Lions defenders. Still, others were buried in the turf of FirstEnergy Stadium. Others were “just a bit outside,” to quote Bob Uecker in Major League. Some sailed majestically over the outstretched arms of Jarvis Landry. Mayfield’s passes versus Detroit were all over the place. ![]() The coaching staff needs to shut him down and promote Case Keenum.Īll fans see it differently, but this Cleveland Browns fan saw a quarterback who couldn’t throw accurately outside of 10 yards against the Detroit Lions on Sunday.īaker Mayfield‘s tolerance for pain and his fearlessness are exceeded only by his lack of common sense.
