but you can see stuff that he did that will translate against anyone. The way he moves in the pocket, he has amazing pocket awareness. He doesn't get nervous and just take off like some guys do, he finds open space and keeps his eyes down field. He showed a great arm and made the right reads.
That was an NFL throw all the way. Doesn't matter who it was against, that is a tremendous throw not a lot of QBs are going to be able to make. He has real talent. I'm rooting for him, would be nice for Browns fans to have something nice to root for.
agree with Greg, him being good in Cleveland is good for us. I wanted Mayfield just not at 2.
You misunderstand me. I'm glad he went #1 overall because if we had picked a goddamned running back over the QB I expect him to be, I would have been furious for a very long time.
I thought his personality would be an awful match with NYC.
He’s probably in the right place.
This line of thinking is as pathetic as you cant get good marketing in any other place but LA and NY....
If Baker was on the Giants instead of Barkley and last night happened in reverse the BBI forum would be imploding with fans claiming we found the new future.
But our 3rd and 4th string corners were out and he was going up against guys who will be cut. So if I were a browns fans I’d be stoked but cautiously optimistic.
The stage isn’t big for him whatsoever tho.
The one thing I don’t like is he extends almost every play. That’s going to cause more hits and that’s never good.

Yes, but he was also playing with a backup OL. There was a lot of pressure on him, but he was so elusive that he just danced around those guys. It's not like he was playing with a great group of WR's either.
thought Taylor looked better and he's likely auditioning for his next starting job.
Taylor stayed in the pocket and made plays.
The caution I had watching Mayfield is that he broke from the pocket quickly, and while he didn't necessarily always take off to run and he often kept looking to throw, he's still breaking contain too frequently.
He looks like he could thrive doing that like wilson or Rodgers, but that's where his durability could be suspect.
The time he was sacked, he went down like a rag doll. He's a lot smaller than I thought.
Mayfield is making a case that he was worth the first pick Â

I find that difficult to believe since we watched barkley tear off a 40 yard run and fucksticks, yourself included, are telling the board that while it was "nice" he didn't do anything else.
I think people are getting carried away. He was playing against second and third stringers. I was more impressed with Taylor.
He finally has weapons to throw to. The Bills are still looking for WR options.
He had Sammy Watkins, Charles Clay and Robert Woods in Buffalo. He is who he is.
Sammy Watkins was hurt practically the entire time he was there. Robert Woods? Yeah they are setting the world on fire. Laundry is legit.
Watkins played in 37 out of the 48 games in Buffalo. Woods had his career year when he went to Goff. McCoy was the foundation of that offense and Tyrod was the benefactor. He isn't a franchise guy at this stage and all he's doing is holding the chair for when Baker moves in. He'll go somewhere, put up a nice QB rating while people marvel and he still goes 8-8 and goes for 190 yards per game passing. That's been his career. It won't change.

I really liked Callaway. But his off field actions were too troubling
on the field by far. Were never intrerersted in him as i recall, so no harm done if he turns out to be the top QB in the 18 draft. Have to congratulate Cleveland on the pick. Looks like they got this one right.
is going to stick in the league for a very long time. Mayfields td to Callaway was an absolute thing of beauty. I really liked his presence and finding his 2nd and third options.
Russel Wilson or Drew Brees. He proved it on the field these past years but many did not believe the results and evidence. All about his size and athleticism i guess.

No I understood. I just added that although I wanted him, I wouldn’t have at 2.
We only wished our 2nd string QB looked as good as him against Â

It's not only that we played CB's, we played them pretty much constantly in man from what I could see, which makes sense if you want to see what they can do.

sorry meant to say we played 5th, 6th and 7th string CB's
Always have to be careful in pre season. Bryce Petty is a pre season Hall of Famer. Nathan Peterman looked incredible yesterday. Brandon Weeden looked great.
Callaway pretty much made Mayfield look better than he was.
Overall, decent performance. About average. He made some pretty bad throws as well. 11/20 is not exactly wowing anybody
Tough for me to project exactly what he'll be, but it won't be Brees. But he is gutsy.
thought Taylor looked better. I saw better things from Baker personally.
Taylor's sample size was much smaller, but he was close to flawless. His already impressive stat line would have been even better if a perfect 30 yard completion weren't undone by penalty.

I think thats a dead ball penalty. I believe the play counted towards his stat line.

Higgins wasn't bad either. Seemed to catch a bunch of balls from both Qbs
He just did what he does, and looked like he had fun doing it too.
He finally has weapons to throw to. The Bills are still looking for WR options.
You can also remind yourself we could have pulled an "Accorsi" and moved up to grab him, if we had that much conviction.
I see a lot of Drew Brees in him
He’s probably in the right place.
Let's not park his ass on the bench just yet.
The Browns appear to have a nice problem at QB, finally. I don't see a point in getting Mayfield out there ASAP.

Speaking of Hokie trash Nick Becton looked ok out there last night.

Mahomes beat out Webb, Webb beat out Mayfield.
