wjag Posted March 18, 2022 Posted March 18, 2022 A good friend of mine is a die hard Browns fan. I feel his pain. I simply can’t imagine a worse or more bizzaro handling of your franchise QB. Stefanski did not draft Baker. So it’s no surprise he might want to go in a different direction. The Browns GM needs to be fired. He handled this poorly. I have no issue with Baker. I was Team Allen from the git go. I wanted no part of Mayfield because I thought he was height challenged. But I do believe he will be successful with a coach and system that wants him. Send him to Indy where he can play in a dome. Quote
Donuts and Doritos Posted March 18, 2022 Posted March 18, 2022 Baker letting everyone know his feelings are hurt. I get it. So when a player leaves "it's business", but when a team seeks to trade a player "it's personal"? Browns mishandled this for sure & now it's biting them. But Baker should look in the mirror & ask why did Beckham want out & why the Browns want to replace him, then put in the work to make the changes in his game necessary to improve. That's what Allen did. 2 Quote

I see no way this could possibly go bad. Nope, not one 1 Quote

I'm not a Boomer but close, I'm a Gen Xer and for some young people, things don't happen, things aren't real until they are posted on social media. The term "Facebook Official" comes to mind about dating. For Baker the idea of not commenting on something like this on social media is anathema. Kind of like Cole with his COVID stance on Twitter. I personally feel no need to share details of my life with strangers on the internet. I'm not saying one view is right and one is wrong, it's just one of the big differences between generations where one grew up with rotary dial phones and one grew up cutting their teeth on iPhones. I can appreciate everything you say here. I agree, one view is neither right or wrong and its a generational thing etc BUT if you have this "need" to go public fine, in this instance I think it will cost Baker real $. Maybe it was worth it to him. See how he feels when he matures more and is out of the league with no more million $ opportunities left. 1 Quote
Jerome007 Posted March 18, 2022 Posted March 18, 2022 (edited) All this makes us even more grateful for our current management and for #17 It's one thing to be beat by other teams. Another when a team implodes and beats itself (Texans, Browns, etc.) Edited March 18, 2022 by Jerome007 1 Quote

Maybe they knew, and were ready to move on, but man what a joke of an organization. Watson was never going to ****ing Cleveland. Exactly this Quote

Right or wrong, once the Browns showed their hand and looked at an upgrade at QB it was predictable to see where this would go. Could the Browns make him play this season? Sure. But that is fraught with pitfalls. They still have to say they expect him to be their QB this season - until they replace him. Then they can trade him. As for Mayfield, he deserves some of the blame for this situation, but I don’t blame him for wanting out now. 3 minutes ago, YoloinOhio said: He’s probably trying to sabotage his trade value to screw over the team. That would be a huge mistake. He could wind up having to play there this season if they can’t get his replacement and his trade value sucks. Quote

Got to wonder about the thought process a bit "Baker isn't emotionally mature enough to lead this team we should try to get Watson." If we try and fail how do you think Baker will handle it? "I'm sure it'll be fine." 1 1 Quote

Before his serial molestation was public, Watson was already acting like a child—from crying tears of joy singing his recent new contract, to declaring he wouldn’t play because they didn’t ask him about GM or coach. He’s a babyman 1 1 1 Quote
Ridgewaycynic2013 Posted March 18, 2022 Posted March 18, 2022 After reading the possible motivations of Cleveland and Mayfield presented in this thread, I conclude the parties are playing 4D checkers. 🤔 Quote
