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.
Oh yeah, you're probably right. I was wondering where the hell he came up with the additional 65-ish yards beyond the Njoku throw!
Weak secondary and lack of pass rush. He had plenty of time and protection for any QB to be successful. I want to see him against a actual good defense before I a make a judgment. I will say this though I thought he would be the best Qb in his class, just because of his amazing accuracy..
...in Oklahoma: one cool, calm, deadly gun slinger. When things get crazy in the pocket, that's when this guy's blood pressure goes to zero-over-zero. He's a playmaker and I'm sure glad he ain't in our division!
You just can't teach what this guy does on the field. He's in TOTAL control.
I imagine we'll see him starting this seasons at some point. The leash on Taylor will likely be very short, and though it's certainly possibly Mayfield puts in a poor performance or too that slow his momentum, I have a feeling the good will outweigh the bad.
a bit more compact but probably a better arm than either Tony Romo or Drew Brees and seems accurate on the move. That plus his temperament will make take him a long way in the NFL.
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.
Agree, the "not in NYC" for a player is utter bullshit.
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.
Lol, sometimes I just can't understand what people see. How did Callaway make Mayfield look better than he was?? Also, its different than having good stats. If it was only about stats, then I'd agree, Tyrod Taylor was better. However, I saw things from Baker Mayfield that showed me it will transalte to regular season games. Unlike what someone else above said, Mayfield did have a rush to escape and multiple times he was able to step up in the pocket and into space while keeping his eyes down the field.
The Browns appear to have a nice problem at QB, finally. I don't see a point in getting Mayfield out there ASAP.
Taylor looked, Baker looked better. Both are new to the system and learning on the job, Baker is the future at QB for the Browns. If he keeps playing like last night, he should be the starter.

after watching him, it's pretty clear how he beat out Webb....
Mahomes beat out Webb, Webb beat out Mayfield.
Webb NEVER beat out Mayfield EVER. Mayfield beat out webb to start their freshman seasons.
Yeah the succession plan went Webb, got beat out by Baker, Baker got hurt and Mahomes took over, and Baker transferred to Oklahoma, because Mahomes wasn't going to be dethroned.

You were right. I was wrong:
Quote:
After being affected by injury and losing the starting job to fellow true freshman Davis Webb, Mayfield finished the season with 2,315 yards on 218-of-340 completions with 12 touchdowns and 9 interceptions.
Davis got beat out by Mahomes in an open competition the next season.
Love Baker, thought he played great. Hopefully he can stay healthy behind that O-line. As hard as it is to say something nice about the Cowboys, they did a great job investing in their O-line and it paid off. Made it possible for Dak and Zeke to come in as rookies and perform like elite vets.
that loyal fan base deserves someone and something to root for. We all know that pre season is just a meaningless scrimmage but Browns fans have reason to hope.

I agree, he reminds me more of Wilson too.
Who, by the way, looks terrifying.

Book it, Mayfield is going to be good.
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.

So was Webb ... and he sucked.
