Is Baker Mayfield a Bust?

[Battlelyon]

Nice statement by the Browns, they needed this. Playoffs here they come

Baker looked the part. He's coming into his own Hopefully

he looked great, i watched the game.....

hard to say that after his last 3, and really 5 of his prior 6.

I still like and believe in baker

 

[Ojb81]

Yep. Asshole was just saying the Titans were better than the Steelers just a few days ago.

I like Cowherd, his show entertains me

Most importantly during those bad weather games he didn't turn the ball over. I wasn't really that concerned with those games otherwise.

In his last 3 non shittastic weather games his rating is north of 120

Granted two of those games are the Bengals and eagles

Loved Bakers office quote in postgame.

For the most part he has decent takes... But he's too quick to board hype trains, and dismiss his own thoughts on teams. Its rare that he circles back to admit he was wrong too.

that's not true. in fact, he has an entire segment he does called "where colin was right, where colin was wrong", where he'll fully admit to where he was wrong, he does it at least a couple times a week. i guess i'm just someone who takes him as entertainment during my day and nothing else, he is very outspoken and his persona is very brash and it rubs a lot of folks the wrong way...not me. of course he's going to be wrong on stuff from time to time, we all are.

I've seen those clips a few times. But to be honest I don't actually watch the show. I just watch the highlight clips he posts to social media and nothing else.

Bust? No.

JaMarcus Russell, Ryan Leaf...those are busts.

Star level QB they thought they were getting when they drafted him #1. Also, No.

He's a good, starting quality NFL franchise quarterback. Give him good weapons like he has now and call a game that allows him to use them and you can make the playoffs and even win a Super Bowl with him.

But he's not going to carry a team to the Super Bowl.

I watch his show too. Him and Dan Patrick. He's the only host I know that actually has a segment of his show where he admits when he's wrong.

TBF there aren't many QB's that can carry a team to a SB. I do believe he can carry the team from time to time bc we saw it last game but remember he is only in his 3rd year and I saw a big step this year for the simple fact he is making better decisions and taking care of the ball. Top 10 QB? Nope but if he continues to improve he has the arm talent to become a top 10 QB one day.

 

[trojanfan12]

Exactly. That's what separates them. There are the elite level guys who can carry a team to the Super Bowl with limited weapons. The next group are guys like Baker who can get you to Super Bowls with the right weapons. Then there's everybody else.

 

[FaCe-LeE-uS]

Bust? No.

JaMarcus Russell, Ryan Leaf...those are busts.

More recently... Johnny Manziel, Brandon Weeden... Or even Brady Quinn (drafted same year as Russell).

I've always liked Colin. And dude used to be very good capping college football. Money where his mouth is

Yeah it's not like I dislike Colin but he is very stubborn especially with this "Baker feud". He could win 5 SB's and he will never admit he was wrong. It seems like when he DOES admit he is wrong there is always a BUT or he says well I said this too so I was only partly wrong. Any big subject that was very adamant about for a long time, he won't admit it. All that being said, there are a ton of his takes that I completely agree with and his analogies are insightful.

Colon Cowturd really knows very little about football

 

[Fountain City Blues]

Think it's pretty clear Baker has shown he deserves a chance to grow still. The idea he is a bust should look pretty goofy by now. He's not elite, but his numbers are very respectable and there's room to grow with real flashes in between. Browns would be foolish as hell to move on from Baker.

 

[redseat]

Seems like with no OBJ he's improved

 

[Shanemansj13]

The guy who is clueless is Brandon Marshall. He is all about hot takes. If we didn't all know who Marshall was before he was on First Things First...I would say he never picked up a football in his life.
