Is Baker Mayfield a Bust?

Freddie Kitchens as a HC is a bust for sure.

But he’s got some okay ESPN commercials.

FEWER damnit

That's not bad. It's pathetic.

That is what is so crazy about the sports media today...they're so starved for the next superstar that they jump on the 1st sign of success and run with it.

The commercials are cool, but they look kinda out of place now that is appears Mayfield should to be focusing more on his day job...like how to look off the free safety or something.

Those commercials were shot in the off-season. In fact, after last season, when the media had a hard-on for Baker and his excellent finish to last season.

So now he’s struggling, and everyone wants to anoint him a bust after 6 games.

He’s played like shit, that’s incredibly obvious. There have been plenty of quarterbacks struggle in their first few seasons and managed to turn it around.

Hell.....Peyton Manning threw 43 interceptions in his first two seasons.

81 in his first four seasons.

sure is looking that way. I wish I was making this up but when asked why he didn't use up clock end of first half (with about a minute left mind you) he claimed because he wanted to score and get the ball back to score again.

I really liked the guy when he was hired and seemed like someone you could cheer for. His act wore on me quickly. Even before the season even started.

I don't like Grossi but loved that he kept on Freddie after that absurd answer.

Mayfield could have avoided all of this had he simply been willing to shake Richard Shermans hand.

Jesus.

Yep him not running there made no sense.

I guess I just find it odd the amount of enjoyment people are getting out of this. I don't find myself rooting for people to fail. I tend to take enjoyment out of top teams losing don't get me wrong but I can't recall a mediocre team getting more hate than this year's Browns.

i am not enjoying this at all, I was sincerely hoping Mayfield threw for 600 yards and 8 TD's this past weekend.

That's cool that's your take as a 49ers fan for one game ...but again it's just odd the level some are taking this and then wonder why dude has a chip

That chip got him where he is....he could've just folded when he was a walk on and accepted his role. He didn't do that. Is he over the top? Yep. The Browns desperately needed an identity and he's giving them that. I'm not worried about his stats from this last game he was making way more good throws than he wasn't. It will come for him.

honestly man.... I have nothing but respect for browns fans. Ever since I saw this video... Browns fans are the real deal... And no one deserves a turn around more than you guys do.

I get it as many had them achieving something before they actually did.
