Not that this kind of "what if" is meaningful, but the browns are two plays away from being 3-0.

I was mocked for carrying the browns defense the first three weeks in fantasy but it's working out. They do have some genuine talent on both sides of the ball

I definitely started the Browns' D this week (have Charger's D normally, but fuck starting them against the Rams). Was not feeling great about it sitting on 4 points with 3 minutes to go, but 2 picks and a sack later I'll take a 9 point week from my D.

I've been reading some conspiracy crap that the concussion was fake/planned so that Baker could slide in with minimal fuss. Sounds ridiculous. What problem does that even alleviate?

Either way, as an OU alum....fuckin' A, Bake.

I have Hyde in fantasy, things were looking grim for a while then I saw him get the TD and was content with him at least making it to 10 pts, checked after game was over and had 22.3!

As far as conspiracy crap, you can always find something retarded that someone is saying about basically any situation. The Browns looked fine under Tyrod the first 2 games, it was the shit kickers fault they lost those 100%, then magically in game 3 they decide he has to fake an injury so they can play the new guy?

Any time you replace a legend like Taylor with some no name draft pick and you run the risk of alienating your fanbase

Vepil Vepil How bout that Mayfield?

I was out last night and didn't get to watch anything past Taylor playing. Its early but as I have been saying I think he's going to be a stud. Guess ill watch it tonight.

He has the same qualities I liked about Watson. They both were able to stand tall under pressure. I think that is the defining trait of a NFL QB. Not if he is 2 inches taller or if his arm is 10% stronger. Can he handle the pressure and make plays. That was why I wanted the Chargers to draft Watson the previous year.

Hue didn't announce the new starter because despite him being a crappy coach he has class. He clearly wants to talk to Taylor first. I think that is the appropriate thing to do.

I didn't watch but sounds like he played well. I still think he will not work out in the long run. I want to see after a few games how he does with the NFL D's game planning for him. I freely admit I am a civil engineer and not a talent consultant for the NFL and will eat crow if he does.

can A QB handle the pressure and make the throws/decisions/plays is what is needed. Brady coming out of college, weak arm, can't run, but...wins games due to making the throws and plays and making smart decisions cuz he wants to WIN.

i'd say at least half to 2/3rds of the qb's coming out of college to the pro's cannot make the transition due to the game being so much "faster" thus, being "good/great" in college, usually means jack in the pros.

Is it me, or when Tyrod the vet was in the offense was toned down and simplified and when Baker came in they opened it up significantly?

I was sort of wondering the same thing. I couldnt tell if it was the play calling or Tyrod's inability to read the coverage and find his first options.

Damn that is some expert analysis there. He KNOWS he was checking social media! Don't you dare tell him otherwise.

Baker threw for 46 TDs last year on a Ranked team that went to the College Football Playoff... no fucking tape my ass

5 reasons why Hue will go full Browns and pick Nimrod as a starter against Chucky & Co.

Right but nobody is going to study tape of a quarterback they aren't expecting to play against that week.

The entire team seemed to get a second wind once Mayfield entered. They had probably seen the difference between the two in practice and knew he could turn it around given the chance.

I can give you that. But an NFL defense can't say, they beat us cause we didn't have tape. That is a cop out.

There isn't much tape on any of the rookie QBs and they aren't all taking a team on a 19 game losing streak and crushing it. Mayfield looked composed and calm. He didn't let the sudden stage get to him. He went out and led that team and that team responded.

I agree. I think it's possible (even likely) that he'll be the best QB in the AFC North by the end of the season.
