Matters as far as what?

Teams with elite talent/scheme win.

Bakers scrambles to the sideline look almost slow motion compared to what Mahomes does to buy time.

Again, I like Baker, but....
A year of experience and joining a playoff team as opposed to playing as a rookie on an 0-16 team matters.

Many QBs are slow motion compared to Mahomes. Hell, many are slow motion compared to Baker.

I dont think it matters when comparing their talent levels.

sure, but their play might be enhanced playing with the playoff team and Andy Reid scheme as opposed to the 0-16 team and Haley/Kitchens scheme.

Having said that, I would take Mahomes/Kitchens over Baker/Reid.

Why did they trade for Josh Rosen if they aren't going to play him? Oh yeah, they wanna lose. Never mind.

I got news for you.

Fitzpatrick, as mediocre as he is, is better than Josh Rosen.

Fitz is like a poor man’s Case Keenum. There are at least 30 better QBs than him, but he is capable of running an NFL offense if you put quality pieces around him. Rosen might be too, but I doubt it.

No matter who their QB is the Dolphins are losing. I have never seen an NFL this bad this early in the season. That 0-16 Browns team would beat these dudes by 2 TDs

A stunner if they don't run away with it? Because they beat Miami and AZ (barely)?

Might be right, but pretty sure Browns go 2-0 against that schedule. Guess we'll find out later in season if that's true.

Yeah.

We will find out how good Baltimore is this week.

I think AZ is actually going to be not terrible. But the Ravens have to at least compete with the Chiefs for me to think they are going to win a division.

Not sure about 2 TDs but agree they were better. Only lost 2 games by more than 20. None by more than 25. were in most games.

ill guarantee you they wouldnt. You 1000% underestimate how much this city has embraced Baker.

Ok.

So they love Baker.

That is like a Celtic fan on here a few years ago who said he would not trade Rondo for anybody in the NBA. Not even LeBron.

You can love your guy all you want. But the other guy is a lot better.

I could see AZ not being terrible, but they are not on Tennessee's level. sure, Browns fell apart in 4th but they played them close for 3 quarters despite what seemed like a hundred penalties.

No way to know, but I think Browns would be 2-0 against Bmore schedule. Though they might be 2-0 with ours.

While I think Baker will be much closer to Mahomes than Rondo to Lebron I agree. And do believe most here take Mahomes over Baker.

That said, he might be the only QB most fans here would take over Baker.

I don’t think Tennessee is better than Cleveland. It was an any given week thing.

But Cleveland probably loses a game or 2 more like that against teams they should beat. In the end, whether or not they can win the division and/or make the playoffs probably hinges on them getting a game or 2 they shouldn’t. They don’t have an easy schedule.

Schedule not terrible for them....just very front loaded first 8 games with the tough teams. with no Big Ben, they might be favored in every game the last 8-9 games.

But I agree....they will lose another (or 2) they should win so will need to beat someone who most think will beat us.

Many QBs are slow motion compared to Mahomes. Hell, many are slow motion compared to Baker.

And that's what's so crazy about what Mahomes is doing. Baker isn't slow at all. But compared to Mahomes...?
