I'm a lifelong (55 years old) Browns fan - or I was until I saw how they treated him. Baker made watching the Browns fun again instead of agonizing. When he was injured Stehanski said that the brace is effecting his accuracy yet not only did he not pull him from the games, he actually had him throwing 60 times in a game despite having Nick Chubb on the field as an option. If that's not a set up, I dont know what is. Now my loyalty is to the athletes that I respect and enjoy watching instead of an arbitrary decision to pull for the Browns since I was born in the Cleveland area. And when it comes to the maturity and the narrative that the Browns was leaking, Stehanski's first year he used to praise Baker saying things in the press conferences like "I wish people could see how hard he works and grinds". Then suddenly when the idea that Watson could be obtainable, the narrative changed. The only fault I have with Baker is that his stubbornness to not pull himself from the games after the injury because he made it all too easy for the Browns ownership and coaching staff to make Baker look bad. So thats a long winded way of saying, I'm a Baker fan since he made football fun again for me and I'm pulling for him. I just want to see him ball out and laugh if Watson can't get his crap together.
I have been a BIG BIG FAN of #6 Baker Mayfield when playing at OU, in fact he was in my neighborhood a lot which is walking distance from the OU campus. We all LOVED #6 his love for the game fire grit you name it HEISMAN WINNER and a real people person. After the Browns traded Baker, we all knew he was still a WINNER. Fast forward to the 2023 NFL season, just keep having FUN #6. BOOMER SOONER!!
I have always been a fan who roots for the Jersey and not the name on the back… I still am a browns fan, but what they did to baker still leaves a bad taste in my mouth. I watch the games cynically now, instead of with hope and excitement. My blood doesn’t boil anymore for browns games…. But I still feel that excitement while listening to bucs play by plays with baker behind center. I don’t know quite what it means yet, but it’s different than it’s ever been. That’s the only thing I can say for certain.
I’m so happy for Baker that he’s actually showing that he still can play at the starting quarterback position. Hopefully he gets an extension on the team showing that he help the team go back to the playoffs.
@@draimonshepherd1791 that’s not necessarily true ore he would have been a monster at the panthers and had up and down years at Oklahoma. What happened to Baker at the Browns is just poor ownership and management. Then had the same issues with the Panthers. We have seen how good Baker can be when he trusts his OC/HC. The Rams and Tampa are good examples of that and before there was bad blood with the Browns HC. Baker is a completely different person now after eating a piece of humble pie. He is more even keel during post game conferences and interviews and if you haven’t noticed has completely avoided commercials like the Hiesman watch and has been 100 percent focused on football and his charity organization. He is also been spending a lot of time in the weight room with the team and has been extremely difficult to take down in the pocket if you are watching his games.
@@Zangyaks sure. Yep, that's what happened. Not Baker calling out a teammates $$$, or not publicly supporting your franchise DE in an incident, trying to call out the coach after a blow out when he played horribly... Baker is a really good college QB
From what I've observed The Browns mistakenly view Baker's college crotch grabbing antics as "their kind of guy" and then Dashaun Watson came along and Cleveland turned to Baker and said, "Sorry about your shoulder... can you hold our beer...? We gotta see a man about a dawg."
So do I as a Bucs fan. But right now it isnt the Chiefs but the Dolphins that are the team to beat for it all. Yes 70 on Denver is beating up the worst team in the NFL, But their offense has been firing.
After reaching so many as a teenager, it was only national to follow this misguided. When a member of the congregation points blame at someone, they should listen.
He’s streaky man it’s been 2 games y’all acting like he’s next drew Bree’s he is a beast he just gets reckless it’s the turnovers he needs constant play my guy to be elite
Let me put it this way...after being a Browns fan for over 40 years I am now a Baker fan. I could not handle the way they treated Baker, the ridiculous contract, and to make it worse making the face of the team a SEXUAL PREDATOR. I am now watching Bucs games
As a lifetime Clevelander, I can 100% say, the word you are looking for is "yes". Yes, we would be 2-0 right now with Baker and the 1st round drafts and the cap space. Yes, we would probably go 10-6 or better this season. Yes, we would probably make it to the AFC playoffs. All with Baker.
Did you ever notice that The Browns has a curse. In the 50's & 60's The Browns was a football power house. Jim Brown was making a movie, and ask for a leave to finish the movie. The Browns told Jim Brown to be back a scheduled or don't come back. Jim Brown retired. The Browns haven't won a championship since Jim Brown retired.
I've wanted to do a video on Baker for a while now....As a Sooner fan, I remember being floored when it was annouced that Baker was coming to OU. Because I remember him TORCHING my high school in that Texas state championship. Baker has always been an underrated QB. But that feuls him to do better. And it is criminal what Cleveland did to him. This was an very well done video Lauren, you've earned a sub.
I’m a baker fan but your logic doesn’t make a ton of sense. They definitely shouldn’t of let him keep playing but they would want to trade when his value is at its highest, not ship him off cheap.
OBJ Was the nail in the coffin , he played hurt and Obj turned the locker room against him and it was sad and Stupid . He had no time in the offense on the Panthers and a Idiot for a head coach. Cleveland gave up on this guy for all of the wrong reasons and gave us this nightmare . We had the guy and gave up on him after a major injury
Yep, 100%. I think Baker would have been competitive for consistent top 10 QB long-term. I'm an old enough Browns fan to know that you DONT run that type of talent out of town. You pay the man, and build a team around him. Truly sad what we did to him.
Agree 100%… the obj signing made me nervous from the start, because I knew he could sway landry’s opinion of the team, and baker. Which we saw. Landry was not the same guy after we moved obj… he was disgruntled… he was the heart and soul of the team, and once his domino fell, it was all over.
I love this! Been a fan of baker since he won that playoff game for the browns, browns ran baker outta town and i feel he never fully recovered and thats why he struggled last season, and this is his last chance with a strong offense and a team that believes in him. Hes shown how wrong everyone was to doubt him
Been a Browns fan my whole life...I'll never forget the game Baker came in against the Jets and led us to that W...! Jarvis gets credit for changing the Browns culture...I think it was Baker. I understand why the Browns went after Watson...But I will always be a Baker fan...He was the heart and soul of our team and paved the way for the Browns to be recognized again. I hope Baker does great things for the rest of his career!
Love this video!!! Baker is a better qb and more importantly a better man!!! I’m a lifelong Browns fan but I can honestly say I miss him and the chip he played with I’ll always root for him!
How is Baker a good man. He met up with jirls for blow jobs behind Cheesecake factory while.engaged to his now wife. He fought with all his teammates and coaches while they did everything fornhim and put him in best positions to win. Baker should.have sat out instead of playing hero ball and sucking.
As a Tampa fan I’ve always loved Baker. Those Bradey years were special. I never would of believed when we won the Super Bowl that year that Mayfield would be the eventual replacement!
The Browns did him dirty and then replaced him with a creep. Baker played through that season with the injury because he was still the best they had. But he's been fortunate since he got out of Cleveland. He actually asked the Panthers to let him go so he could find a better situation and they did. Then Sean McVay picked him up and he got to show he could still play for an organization that knows what it's doing, and those games earned him the gig this year in Tampa. I don't think Baker will ever be a superstar in the NFL, but he can be a quality starter. And would the Browns be better if they had just let Baker Mayfield heal and used those first-round picks for something other than a pervert? Of course they would. But they're the Browns. Browns gonna Brown.
Glad Mayfield is away from that poverty franchise and with a legit contender. I grinned internally whenever Watson had an awful drive, got hit, or turned the ball over. If pay wasn’t based on position, Nick Chubb would get Watson’s salary. He’s an awesome guy who puts the team on his back. Wishing him a speedy recovery 🙏
@ironrevenger9386 the browns aren't a poverty franchise. They spend more money than any team. People think the NFL has a hard cap but if your owner is willing to write big checks it allows your GM and FO to have a ton of flexibility with sakary cap. But I do agree that the Browns shoulda kept Baker. The browns are cursed.
The bias is crazy. Anyone who actually watched the games knows mayfield was cheeks for browns. And Watson gives them an actual chance. And clearly the roster was done right as they currently have one of the best rosters in the nfl
Your comment proves you either know nothing of football or didn't watch any browns game. This is a feel good video that doesn't paint the complete picture. Mayfield is an average QB with a competitive spirit. This video and your comment will not age well. I'll let time make fools of you.
U sound like a real expert dude bet on his self and lost do u know skeem ok u can’t run when the other team knows you can’t throw,Kevs a righteous guy ok he latched his wagon to him how did he not he banked in baker who severely downplayed his injury he played like shit that yr it’s a contract yr arguably he’s a asshole selfish for sabotaging are season cuz he wanted that big $ he repeatedly said it wasn’t his injury he got but hurt at his receives who diff were complaing could u Blame them look he’s matured and polished up his skills people grow up these r kids essentially right it was a failed marriage and more love they had before harder the break up I loved the kids underdog mantality I don’t blame him he’s tryn get payed just didn’t work out that’s it bird him
I know these vids are harder to produce than your live vids. But I LOVE when you post these vids. I always learn something new and look forward to when you post them. Great Job !!
I wasn’t sure about Baker when we signed him, but truth be told I didn’t know a lot about this last few years. I’m thrilled to have him in Tampa he’s giving Patrick Mahomes vibes
@@BasedAFPatriot Love Baker, but Mahomes is another level, that game was Joe Mixon + Baker vs. Mahomes. On the receiving ends, we have Dede Westbook, Mark Andrews. Too bad both defenses were just as bad.
I was always a Baker bro in Cleveland! I was shamed and bullied for my fan-ship! I will never forget the hope that he gave my city. He beat the Steelers in Pittsburgh, and ended Big Ben's career, one of the most deplorable people to ever play the sport. Shake n Bake baby!
Outstanding research, crisp articulate presentation and outstanding editing! I'm now a fan of yours, subscribed and look forward to anything you produce.
Pretty great and well put together video. I've been watching him closely since 2015, so I've known all this stuff. But it's cool to see someone put together a concise timeline starting from the very beginning to current day. Usually people might get little things a little wrong, or leave things out, but this video hits all of the main points that you should know.
As a lifelong Buccaneers fan, when Brady left, I felt like we were going to go right back to wasting all of our talent not having a solid QB1. To say that I was excited when I found out we were letting Baker try out a training camp, is a massive understatement. I didn’t know if we were gonna be good or not, but at the least, I knew Baker was going to give it is all and entertain the shit out of us. But after four weeks of watching him play, I can see Baker taking this roster all the way.
Not many QBs have had worse luck (injuries, trainwreck franchises) than Mayfield has. I’m a Sooner fan, so I’ll always love the guy lol. But he’s proving the haters wrong so far in Tampa
Alex Smith was drafted by the 49ers after a season where they ranked as one of the historically worst and talent bereft teams of all times. A shoulder injury due to no protection that required two surgeries to fix, inept head coaches, finally starts playing well with Harbaugh, then is replaced by Harbaugh's shiny new toy Kaepernick. How well did that turn out. In the end Smith went to KC and showed beyond doubt that he was a very solid QB. He was replaced by Mahomes, but then again nearly every QB in the league in pretty much any season would be replaced by Mahomes, so that is not a knock on Smith at all. Let's hope Baker has at least the same level of rejuvenation at a minimum, and even more playoff success. Baker certainly has a better defense with the Bucs than Smith ever had.
Hope Baker will find his home in Bucs... the OL line is good, the OC using his talents, he has best wide receivers, and the defense has been excellent.
This was a great video great work and as for the story Baker Mayfield had some bad and amazing moments I think the buccaneers will sneak into the playoffs this year and I hope they do to make mayfield happy again.
As a Browns fan, I felt the Browns did Mayfield dirty. I still haven’t gotten over the fact the we now have a creep as our quarterback to replace him. I’m happy for Baker, I just wish we weren’t stuck with Watson and that awful contract.
The Browns knew something no one else did - that so far, Sam Darnold who the Jets picked has not amounted to anything compared to Baker's up and down career. The Browns however may have made a mistake getting rid of him. Maybe now with a good franchise and decent team around him he will do well this season. So far so good.
Name anyone who can get on an airplane, and that's how long they have to learn the playbook. And go into a game playing for a new & different team, and win. The guy went to OU, me being a UT fan, and I'll root for this guy now after what he went through with Cleveland. He played with a torn labrum.
Thank you for presenting the true story. It's refreshing to see and hopefully a sign of "good media" for Baker. Collin Cowturd, Shannon Sharpe, Mike Florio, Stephen A Smith and Peter King were instrumental in smearing Baker after: (1) the feud with the hapless and inexcusable Hugh Jackson Jr. The fact that Baker sneered at him was seen as racist when in fact it had to do with the personal animosity that Jackson fostered with Baker. By sneering at Jackson, Baker became a marked man by the media and some leaders in the NFL. (2) the Odell Beckham Jr. incident which was clownish and sophomoric on Beckham's part. All because he wasn't making his stats that would reward him with $1 million if he hit certain benchmarks. He claimed Baker was purposefully ignoring him when he was open. How did he know that? (3) Baker's shoulder injury leading to his subpar performance. (As an OU alum watching Baker since 2015, I believed that he made a strategic mistake in continuing to play injured. Although it wasn't his throwing arm, it was a serious injury. The ramifications of his decision still haunt him today.) Andrew Berry and Kevin Stefanski decided they could knife Baker in the back after repeating that Baker would be their QB in 2022. That was the theme from the middle of the 2021 season until the very day they ripped off his hide. That is what they told him to his face with no indication they were going in a different direction. At the end of the day, Baker "wasn't their guy." The previous general manager had drafted him. The hand of Paul DePodesta, the VP of Operations, was heavy in deciding Baker's fate. Now their butts are in a sling for $230,000,000 guaranteed to a slacker who has shown little if any moral character since he came on the scene in college. The three of them, Berry, Stefanski and Watson royally deserve each other. Baker Mayfield has had 8 head coaches in 6 years, 5 of which are no longer head coaches in the NFL. He's had 7 offensive coordinators during that time. That's a lot of experience learning different offensive approaches to NFL defenses. It's a lot of experience in seeing what works and what doesn't work. And, because of it, he's shouldered the blame for the lack of success that his teams have had. That ignores that a football team on the field is 22 moving parts that have to gel together to work as a powerful machine. On the plus side, that experience and knowledge of playbooks allows Baker Mayfield to read coverages with the best of them and will continue to give him an advantage as he grows into a system. And that's the catch; the NFL demands instant success. If a QB doesn't deliver that, whether it's because of his own deficiencies or the lack of talent around him, he gets pegged. A good QB like Baker Mayfield gets pegged and smeared at the drop of a hat. He may have been a cocky guy when he came into the league, and he may have been misused by Progressive Insurance, but he can perform on the field when his line can block and his receivers can catch. A decent running game would help as well. An older, wiser and more humble Baker Mayfield has more pluses than minuses ahead of him in the NFL. I just hope the Bucs are stable enough to retain him and pay him; or, that a decent team that is missing that 1 spark plug to get them over the hump will pick him up if he's put back on the market.
How or why The Browns treated their franchise quarterback like he was a failure is NFL mystery lore. I remember his performance versus Big Ben in the playoffs, they shed a huge rival in that game. Changing of the guard and all that.... why The Browns insist on jinxing themselves i do not know.
I am a Browns fan. I have been for over 40 years. I would have never let him go. He played injured and did not have a good year and they rewarded him by trading for another quarterback. Our defense is good but we have offensive problems. Yeah, it would have been better to stick with Baker.But , that is the browns !
I always thought Mayfield just needed a new team and time to be fully 100% to bounce back. It is obvious he can throw and read defences. Its insane how much he was criticized while playing with serious injuries probably being on enough painkillers to put elephants into coma.
Thank you for this channel. Great in depth analysis videos that go hand in hand with your live streams. Keep them coming! 😊 PS: Let’s get you one of those movable arm-crane like mic holder. I get tired 😅 for you watching you hold your mic the whole time 😅
I used to work with a guy who played on the same high school football team as Baker Mayfield. I asked him if he was surprised that Baker won the Heisman and went #1 overall. He said "Dude, we were amazed that he ever STARTED in college."
I was a Browns fan up till the Watson trade, what they did to Baker was disgusting but it was one of the best things that could have happened to him, the Browns are an irredeemable dumpster fire organisation that do nothing but waste talent. I'm now a Baker fan, wherever he goes I go.
Hearing the Buc's pk'd last in the division by the experts, after Brady's retirement. Searching for a replacement was successful. They obtained a young, heisman 1st pk in the draft. As rookie set all-time rookie td pass record. Baker ended all the embarrassment of the Brown's, leading them to p/o's after 18 yr absence, 26 since p/o win & 51yrs w/o p/o road win, having a 12 win season in "Cleveland"!!!! He's healthy and better. If Ram's didn't have Stafford, they would have snatched him
From a Steeler's fan; Baker is not only a better, team player and Quarterback but a much better human than the being his team betrayed him for. And of the 2 the only one who could ever play for a team I owned!!! I enjoyed every time the Steelers beat him but cannot abide Cleveland's treachery!!!
Mayfield spent 2 more years in college than Mahomes, who came out after his junior year. Heisman year, BM had best line in college, all returnees, he had receivers like CeeDee Lamb who were always wide open. I forget the RB's name but like Mixon, he is in the NFL. Arguably the best supporting cast in all of college football.
True, Mahomes is a different level talent. CeeDee was RS freshman didn't play. Baker was cooking with Mixon, Dede Westbrook and Pro Bowl TE Mark Andrews.
I felt like he got a bad break in Cleveland, but he really shouldn't have been playing on that bum shoulder. But it's hard for me to judge him this year considering they were playing the Vikings and Bears. We'll see how he does against the Eagles, Saints (since they hate each other), Bills, 49ers
Vikings were supposed to be good this year but alr. Also I definitely hate the saints so if he can't beat the saints that's a problem I need a QB that can beat the aints.
Breh you do know the Vikings were 13-4 right?? Eagles were only 1 game better….Saints were 7-9 …. 69th had the same record as the Vikings 🧐🧐🧐 how were they not a valid test ☠️☠️☠️
The fact that even with a bad shoulder, and later that season add a knee injury, Baker was the best QB on the roster tells you how inept Cleveland is a putting together a team that has the depth to go the distance during the season.
@timclaus8313 Most any player will play hurt if given the opportunity. But the coaches and medical staff make the final decision. If the Browns didn't think Baker gave them the best chance to win his ass would have been on the bench. Baker would have played if it killed him. (Old Baker fan in Oklahoma said that)
@@garyhaley3072 And that was the problem with the Browns in '21, no depth at QB. If a QB with a torn up left shoulder and bad wheel is their best bet, the GM misunderstood the question.
Last year I saw that someone had made a comparison between Baker Mayfields career to that point with Drew Brees career at the same point. There were a lot of similarities. I made some comments to that effect (honestly plagiarized, pulled a Biden) on some other posts and I was castigated as completely ignorant (Another Biden trait). Well a year later as I wear my Buccaneers jersey, I am fervently hoping that the career comparisons continue.
I'm a lifelong Steelers fan, born and raisedinthe Burgh. I believe that Baker got hosed in Cleveland. He was the most promising player Cleveland had since they came back into the league in 1999. I'm very happy that he's getting a second chance in Tampa Bay. And Cleveland gets what they deserve for giving a serial predator $230 million.
That's funny. Didn't big Ben have a few off field issues? Baker was hated in the cle locker room and made the media turn on him because he was immature. This playing through injury narrative was his own doing. He wouldn't sit because he was due a new contract.
@titansrule72 Last time I checked, Ben didn't have TWENTY-SIX women accusing him of sexual assault. Oh, that's right. DeShawn Watson has that. I assume you're an apologist for him. I wasn't an apologist for Ben when that stuff happened. Browns made Watson king of town. Y'all are pathetic.
I've always been a fan of Mayfield and I don't even know why. Maybe an underdog thing. Also, I'd like you to know that maybe cuz I'm an old fossil I'm not a big fan of female sports announcers, but YOU are very good at this. I encourage you to pursue this if it's as important to you as it seems. You are very good at what you do and I truly enjoy watching your vids! Keep at it.
Mayfield got a raw deal in Cleveland. Watson just had his best game yesterday (FINALLY). Not sure if it will keep up but I believe the Browns would have been better with Mayfield and those draft picks
Not gonna lie...I always liked Mayfield even through the rough times! I was against the whole Watson deal but tried to be optimistic, which now I'm beginning to regret. I've been a Browns faithful since the 80's and always will be but i think their decisions will come back to haunt them...again!
Baker Mayfield has really played well thus far the buccaneers surprised me beating the Vikings overall but his biggest test is going to be on Monday night Lauren against the eagles we will see what he does in week 3.🏈
I admit i wanted Trask as the starter but only cause Bucs picked him for a reason. But with how Baker is playing, happy he is doing great. I have been saying the Browns messed up. Yes Baker wasnt a good look at Carolina(but Carolina isnt a good team at all) but when given weapons, he is top 10 qb
One correction about Baker's injuries in 2021. Baker didn't just reaggravate his partially torn labrum vs the Cardinals he completely tore it and broke his shoulder on the same play
I could see it. Bucs run D is still killer & Eagles whole offense is predicated on the run. Force Hurts to throw too much & everyone sees how "elite" he is
I’m a BAKER MAYFIELD FAN… I’m a former BROWNS fan and a former NFL fan… The NFL is BS… The BROWNS have to be the WORST MANAGED PROFESSIONAL SPORTS TEAM… Really would be great if MAYFIELD came into CLEVELAND and lit up the scoreboard… STUPID BROWNS
Miss Baker in Cleveland he should still be here in Ctwon he brought more energy to our games thanks ANY QB the Browns EVER had! Truly miss Bakers JUICE!!!!!!
The team you play for can drastically effect how a qb plays. Not many qbs could play well in Carolina. Or Cleveland. Just like not many nba players could take Cleveland to a championship
I will NEVER understand how seemingly educated people say ‘verse’ when referring to two teams opposing each other. A verse is in a poem, a song, etc. it’s ‘versus’, and the ‘s’ on the end isn’t silent. And no, it can’t be pronounced two different ways.
Baker Regan Mayfield is my guy! And the Browns should be ashamed of themselves for ostracizing him and WILLINGLY sell the farm for a scumbag. Also, anyone rooting for Watson should be ashamed.
Glad Mayfield is away from that poverty franchise and with a legit contender. I grinned internally whenever Watson had an awful drive, got hit, or turned the ball over. If pay wasn’t based on position, Nick Chubb would get Watson’s salary. He’s an awesome guy who puts the team on his back. Wishing him a speedy recovery 🙏
@@trevonpernell0814 If Chubb recovers, I hope he can go to a good team and elevate their offense like Christian McCaffrey. He’s killing as a 49er and it’s great to watch.
Whoa I had no idea about his early college drama. That is wild. The Browns blew it in my opinion (and this is fresh cuz I just watched him destroy my Saints)
His biggest problem was being the number 1 pick, of which was a major reach, and obviously his arrogance did not help his likeability. I wouldn't get too high, just yet, we have seen this act before with him.
@@ironrevenger9386 NFC South might not be strong, but the Bucs have a pretty tough schedule outside of division games. Eagles this upcoming MNF, Lions, Bills, Titans, 49ers, Packers, and Jags (we'll see if last year was a fluke or not for Jacksonville).
@@ironrevenger9386 Certainly, no team has looked unbeatable yet. The only decisive team I've seen so far is Dallas, but that is to be expected because their first four games of the season are against some of the weakest teams in the league (the Pats have been bottom barrel since TB left, no consistency and showing that Bill was clearly not main driver of success there). We'll see in week 5 when Dallas plays the 49ers how good they really are, though with their track record post season games have been a hurdle too high for them. Dallas also has a poor track record with keeping their star players healthy all year as well, so their success rides on them not losing too much to injury (they've already lost Diggs to a season ender). As for the Bucs, I expect them to do well, but this is Baker's first year with their playbook so I do expect turbulence though the team will be more cohesive as the season goes on. I just hope that the Bucs don't throw him under the bus for Trask if things get bumpy.
I'm a lifelong Brown's fan, gave up on the team when they dropped Baker the way they did. He literally saved the franchise and Stefanski threw it all away. Rooting for TB this year, hope Baker makes Stefanski and the Browns org look like the Jack wagons they are.
I'm a lifelong (55 years old) Browns fan - or I was until I saw how they treated him. Baker made watching the Browns fun again instead of agonizing. When he was injured Stehanski said that the brace is effecting his accuracy yet not only did he not pull him from the games, he actually had him throwing 60 times in a game despite having Nick Chubb on the field as an option. If that's not a set up, I dont know what is. Now my loyalty is to the athletes that I respect and enjoy watching instead of an arbitrary decision to pull for the Browns since I was born in the Cleveland area. And when it comes to the maturity and the narrative that the Browns was leaking, Stehanski's first year he used to praise Baker saying things in the press conferences like "I wish people could see how hard he works and grinds". Then suddenly when the idea that Watson could be obtainable, the narrative changed. The only fault I have with Baker is that his stubbornness to not pull himself from the games after the injury because he made it all too easy for the Browns ownership and coaching staff to make Baker look bad. So thats a long winded way of saying, I'm a Baker fan since he made football fun again for me and I'm pulling for him. I just want to see him ball out and laugh if Watson can't get his crap together.

I have always been a fan who roots for the Jersey and not the name on the back… I still am a browns fan, but what they did to baker still leaves a bad taste in my mouth.

That’s the only thing I can say for certain.
I’m so happy for Baker that he’s actually showing that he still can play at the starting quarterback position. Hopefully he gets an extension on the team showing that he help the team go back to the playoffs.
Yep...just wait until he has actual expectations to do well. He'll fold like always. He only plays well when he feels people hating
@@draimonshepherd1791 that’s not necessarily true ore he would have been a monster at the panthers and had up and down years at Oklahoma. What happened to Baker at the Browns is just poor ownership and management. Then had the same issues with the Panthers. We have seen how good Baker can be when he trusts his OC/HC.

Baker is a really good college QB
im a browns fan and only wish him the best. He's a unique person, not necessarily the best talent but you can't count out a leader like that!
From what I've observed The Browns mistakenly view Baker's college crotch grabbing antics as "their kind of guy" and then Dashaun Watson came along and Cleveland turned to Baker and said, "Sorry about your shoulder... can you hold our beer...? We gotta see a man about a dawg."
I always found Baker to be underrated. Love that he’s getting things done with the Bucs so far and I hope it continues.
Great video!
No doubt. Baker is the most underrated quarterback in the NFL. I hope Tampa wins it all under his leadership. We're praying for you Baker!
So do I as a Bucs fan. But right now it isnt the Chiefs but the Dolphins that are the team to beat for it all. Yes 70 on Denver is beating up the worst team in the NFL, But their offense has been firing.
After reaching so many as a teenager, it was only national to follow this misguided. When a member of the congregation points blame at someone, they should listen.
@@jpmnky what
He’s streaky man it’s been 2 games y’all acting like he’s next drew Bree’s he is a beast he just gets reckless it’s the turnovers he needs constant play my guy to be elite
Let me put it this way...after being a Browns fan for over 40 years I am now a Baker fan. I could not handle the way they treated Baker, the ridiculous contract, and to make it worse making the face of the team a SEXUAL PREDATOR. I am now watching Bucs games
40years....yes! I am one of the few people still around that was at the 1964 Brown's Championship with my dad!
Been a Bucs fan since 1976. Welcome to the Krewe. Im glad to have Baker.
Love baker on my bucs
Haha only Trumpers…. Culturally identify. You probably think you are treated poorly in America too.
So you don’t like sexual predators representing you huh? 🤔
As a lifetime Clevelander, I can 100% say, the word you are looking for is "yes". Yes, we would be 2-0 right now with Baker and the 1st round drafts and the cap space. Yes, we would probably go 10-6 or better this season. Yes, we would probably make it to the AFC playoffs. All with Baker.
Did you ever notice that The Browns has a curse. In the 50's & 60's The Browns was a football power house.
Jim Brown was making a movie, and ask for a leave to finish the movie.
The Browns told Jim Brown to be back a scheduled or don't come back. Jim Brown retired.
The Browns haven't won a championship since Jim Brown retired.
I've wanted to do a video on Baker for a while now....As a Sooner fan, I remember being floored when it was annouced that Baker was coming to OU. Because I remember him TORCHING my high school in that Texas state championship. Baker has always been an underrated QB. But that feuls him to do better. And it is criminal what Cleveland did to him. This was an very well done video Lauren, you've earned a sub.
Boomer ❤
Feel like the browns front office set him up to fail when they made play with the sling so they can ship him off cheap
I’m a baker fan but your logic doesn’t make a ton of sense. They definitely shouldn’t of let him keep playing but they would want to trade when his value is at its highest, not ship him off cheap.
OBJ Was the nail in the coffin , he played hurt and Obj turned the locker room against him and it was sad and Stupid . He had no time in the offense on the Panthers and a Idiot for a head coach. Cleveland gave up on this guy for all of the wrong reasons and gave us this nightmare . We had the guy and gave up on him after a major injury
Yep, 100%. I think Baker would have been competitive for consistent top 10 QB long-term. I'm an old enough Browns fan to know that you DONT run that type of talent out of town. You pay the man, and build a team around him. Truly sad what we did to him.
It’s fine he’s on a team with two number one receivers and none of them are divas..
@@teeheeteeheeish And at Baker's level of accomplishment at that time, it would have cost them a fair amount, but not 230M guaranteed for 5 years.
Agree 100%… the obj signing made me nervous from the start, because I knew he could sway landry’s opinion of the team, and baker. Which we saw. Landry was not the same guy after we moved obj… he was disgruntled… he was the heart and soul of the team, and once his domino fell, it was all over.
OBJ is a cancer. Go Bucs and Baker!!! Browns will probably shit on Chubb too.
As an NFL fan who doesn't watch college football, this look back at his college career was very insightful. Thanks for doing this video.
This channel is a factory of happiness!
I love this! Been a fan of baker since he won that playoff game for the browns, browns ran baker outta town and i feel he never fully recovered and thats why he struggled last season, and this is his last chance with a strong offense and a team that believes in him. Hes shown how wrong everyone was to doubt him
Been a Browns fan my whole life...I'll never forget the game Baker came in against the Jets and led us to that W...! Jarvis gets credit for changing the Browns culture...I think it was Baker. I understand why the Browns went after Watson...But I will always be a Baker fan...He was the heart and soul of our team and paved the way for the Browns to be recognized again. I hope Baker does great things for the rest of his career!
Love this video!!! Baker is a better qb and more importantly a better man!!! I’m a lifelong Browns fan but I can honestly say I miss him and the chip he played with I’ll always root for him!
How is Baker a good man. He met up with jirls for blow jobs behind Cheesecake factory while.engaged to his now wife. He fought with all his teammates and coaches while they did everything fornhim and put him in best positions to win. Baker should.have sat out instead of playing hero ball and sucking.
As a Tampa fan I’ve always loved Baker. Those Bradey years were special. I never would of believed when we won the Super Bowl that year that Mayfield would be the eventual replacement!
The Browns did him dirty and then replaced him with a creep. Baker played through that season with the injury because he was still the best they had. But he's been fortunate since he got out of Cleveland. He actually asked the Panthers to let him go so he could find a better situation and they did. Then Sean McVay picked him up and he got to show he could still play for an organization that knows what it's doing, and those games earned him the gig this year in Tampa. I don't think Baker will ever be a superstar in the NFL, but he can be a quality starter.
And would the Browns be better if they had just let Baker Mayfield heal and used those first-round picks for something other than a pervert? Of course they would. But they're the Browns. Browns gonna Brown.
Glad Mayfield is away from that poverty franchise and with a legit contender. I grinned internally whenever Watson had an awful drive, got hit, or turned the ball over. If pay wasn’t based on position, Nick Chubb would get Watson’s salary. He’s an awesome guy who puts the team on his back. Wishing him a speedy recovery 🙏
@ironrevenger9386 the browns aren't a poverty franchise. They spend more money than any team. People think the NFL has a hard cap but if your owner is willing to write big checks it allows your GM and FO to have a ton of flexibility with sakary cap. But I do agree that the Browns shoulda kept Baker. The browns are cursed.
The bias is crazy. Anyone who actually watched the games knows mayfield was cheeks for browns. And Watson gives them an actual chance. And clearly the roster was done right as they currently have one of the best rosters in the nfl
Your comment proves you either know nothing of football or didn't watch any browns game. This is a feel good video that doesn't paint the complete picture. Mayfield is an average QB with a competitive spirit. This video and your comment will not age well. I'll let time make fools of you.
@@Dr.RoseDByeah but he never had an offensive line
Stefanski is an evil person who tried to hurt Baker even worse by throwing 60 times a game with a torn shoulder. He absolutely sabotaged Baker.
I believe the same thing. Dude is a douche and im a Browns fan
U sound like a real expert dude bet on his self and lost do u know skeem ok u can’t run when the other team knows you can’t throw,Kevs a righteous guy ok he latched his wagon to him how did he not he banked in baker who severely downplayed his injury he played like shit that yr it’s a contract yr arguably he’s a asshole selfish for sabotaging are season cuz he wanted that big $ he repeatedly said it wasn’t his injury he got but hurt at his receives who diff were complaing could u Blame them look he’s matured and polished up his skills people grow up these r kids essentially right it was a failed marriage and more love they had before harder the break up I loved the kids underdog mantality I don’t blame him he’s tryn get payed just didn’t work out that’s it bird him
Let Baker Bake! I'm rooting for this dude. Love the video.
I know these vids are harder to produce than your live vids. But I LOVE when you post these vids. I always learn something new and look forward to when you post them. Great Job !!
Baker is a never say die kind of guy. I’m so proud of that kid! Always root for a mayfield!
I wasn’t sure about Baker when we signed him, but truth be told I didn’t know a lot about this last few years. I’m thrilled to have him in Tampa he’s giving Patrick Mahomes vibes
You should watch the 2016 OU vs TTech game! Mahones vs Baker. It set ALL the sigle game records! Best college football game I've ever seen!
I feel exactly the same!
Don’t do that skip. Don’t do that
@@BasedAFPatriot Love Baker, but Mahomes is another level, that game was Joe Mixon + Baker vs. Mahomes. On the receiving ends, we have Dede Westbook, Mark Andrews. Too bad both defenses were just as bad.
I was always a Baker bro in Cleveland! I was shamed and bullied for my fan-ship! I will never forget the hope that he gave my city. He beat the Steelers in Pittsburgh, and ended Big Ben's career, one of the most deplorable people to ever play the sport. Shake n Bake baby!

Outstanding research, crisp articulate presentation and outstanding editing! I'm now a fan of yours, subscribed and look forward to anything you produce.
Much appreciated! Thank you it means a lot because it really does take days upon days to make!
@@SheGotSports I know. My RUclips channel is under my name: Fred Tomasello Jr.
Ditto
Pretty great and well put together video.
I've been watching him closely since 2015, so I've known all this stuff. But it's cool to see someone put together a concise timeline starting from the very beginning to current day. Usually people might get little things a little wrong, or leave things out, but this video hits all of the main points that you should know.
Bake seems re energized. He seems to have gotten his confidence back.
As a lifelong Buccaneers fan, when Brady left, I felt like we were going to go right back to wasting all of our talent not having a solid QB1. To say that I was excited when I found out we were letting Baker try out a training camp, is a massive understatement. I didn’t know if we were gonna be good or not, but at the least, I knew Baker was going to give it is all and entertain the shit out of us. But after four weeks of watching him play, I can see Baker taking this roster all the way.
I still think it was a stupid mistake to replace Mayfield with Watson
Total Browns move. Even if Baker didn’t rise to the occasion, seeing a scumbag like Watson touch over $200M is sickening
@@ironrevenger9386 On top of losing their draft picks 😢
Not many QBs have had worse luck (injuries, trainwreck franchises) than Mayfield has. I’m a Sooner fan, so I’ll always love the guy lol. But he’s proving the haters wrong so far in Tampa
NFC South is a weak division so he’s got an awesome shot at making a playoff appearance
Alex Smith was drafted by the 49ers after a season where they ranked as one of the historically worst and talent bereft teams of all times. A shoulder injury due to no protection that required two surgeries to fix, inept head coaches, finally starts playing well with Harbaugh, then is replaced by Harbaugh's shiny new toy Kaepernick. How well did that turn out. In the end Smith went to KC and showed beyond doubt that he was a very solid QB. He was replaced by Mahomes, but then again nearly every QB in the league in pretty much any season would be replaced by Mahomes, so that is not a knock on Smith at all. Let's hope Baker has at least the same level of rejuvenation at a minimum, and even more playoff success. Baker certainly has a better defense with the Bucs than Smith ever had.
Not gonna happen! What you see in this Eagles game is what he's gonna do against any good team@@ironrevenger9386
Hope Baker will find his home in Bucs... the OL line is good, the OC using his talents, he has best wide receivers, and the defense has been excellent.
This was a great video great work and as for the story Baker Mayfield had some bad and amazing moments I think the buccaneers will sneak into the playoffs this year and I hope they do to make mayfield happy again.
As a Browns fan, I felt the Browns did Mayfield dirty. I still haven’t gotten over the fact the we now have a creep as our quarterback to replace him. I’m happy for Baker, I just wish we weren’t stuck with Watson and that awful contract.
The Browns knew something no one else did - that so far, Sam Darnold who the Jets picked has not amounted to anything compared to Baker's up and down career. The Browns however may have made a mistake getting rid of him. Maybe now with a good franchise and decent team around him he will do well this season. So far so good.
This video makes me sad we give up on him in Cleveland so quickly, what a guy. Deserves success.
Baker is currently surrounded by MEGA talent, no way he's losing much unless he has a bad game
Baker is a backup QB at best! There's a reason he played for four teams in past two years. Just wait till he starts playing against a good team.....
First video I've seen of yours....you crushed it, great job
Great video Lauren!!!!
Name anyone who can get on an airplane, and that's how long they have to learn the playbook. And go into a game playing for a new & different team, and win. The guy went to OU, me being a UT fan, and I'll root for this guy now after what he went through with Cleveland. He played with a torn labrum.
This is one of the best Baker mayfield videos I've seen ❤🎉
Life long Bucs fan and always was a big Baker fan! I think it’s the best signing since The saints signed Brees.
Thank you for presenting the true story. It's refreshing to see and hopefully a sign of "good media" for Baker. Collin Cowturd, Shannon Sharpe, Mike Florio, Stephen A Smith and Peter King were instrumental in smearing Baker after:
(1) the feud with the hapless and inexcusable Hugh Jackson Jr. The fact that Baker sneered at him was seen as racist when in fact it had to do with the personal animosity that Jackson fostered with Baker. By sneering at Jackson, Baker became a marked man by the media and some leaders in the NFL.
(2) the Odell Beckham Jr. incident which was clownish and sophomoric on Beckham's part. All because he wasn't making his stats that would reward him with $1 million if he hit certain benchmarks. He claimed Baker was purposefully ignoring him when he was open. How did he know that?
(3) Baker's shoulder injury leading to his subpar performance. (As an OU alum watching Baker since 2015, I believed that he made a strategic mistake in continuing to play injured. Although it wasn't his throwing arm, it was a serious injury. The ramifications of his decision still haunt him today.)
Andrew Berry and Kevin Stefanski decided they could knife Baker in the back after repeating that Baker would be their QB in 2022. That was the theme from the middle of the 2021 season until the very day they ripped off his hide. That is what they told him to his face with no indication they were going in a different direction.
At the end of the day, Baker "wasn't their guy." The previous general manager had drafted him. The hand of Paul DePodesta, the VP of Operations, was heavy in deciding Baker's fate.
Now their butts are in a sling for $230,000,000 guaranteed to a slacker who has shown little if any moral character since he came on the scene in college. The three of them, Berry, Stefanski and Watson royally deserve each other.
Baker Mayfield has had 8 head coaches in 6 years, 5 of which are no longer head coaches in the NFL. He's had 7 offensive coordinators during that time. That's a lot of experience learning different offensive approaches to NFL defenses. It's a lot of experience in seeing what works and what doesn't work.
And, because of it, he's shouldered the blame for the lack of success that his teams have had. That ignores that a football team on the field is 22 moving parts that have to gel together to work as a powerful machine.
On the plus side, that experience and knowledge of playbooks allows Baker Mayfield to read coverages with the best of them and will continue to give him an advantage as he grows into a system.
And that's the catch; the NFL demands instant success. If a QB doesn't deliver that, whether it's because of his own deficiencies or the lack of talent around him, he gets pegged. A good QB like Baker Mayfield gets pegged and smeared at the drop of a hat.
He may have been a cocky guy when he came into the league, and he may have been misused by Progressive Insurance, but he can perform on the field when his line can block and his receivers can catch. A decent running game would help as well. An older, wiser and more humble Baker Mayfield has more pluses than minuses ahead of him in the NFL.
I just hope the Bucs are stable enough to retain him and pay him; or, that a decent team that is missing that 1 spark plug to get them over the hump will pick him up if he's put back on the market.
As a Bucs fan I'm happy he's here. That was awful how Cleveland backstabbed him ! Karma for dinner anyone ?
How or why The Browns treated their franchise quarterback like he was a failure is NFL mystery lore. I remember his performance versus Big Ben in the playoffs, they shed a huge rival in that game. Changing of the guard and all that.... why The Browns insist on jinxing themselves i do not know.
Great video Lauren, hope to see him play well but go Birds !
I am a Browns fan. I have been for over 40 years. I would have never let him go. He played injured and did not have a good year and they rewarded him by trading for another quarterback. Our defense is good but we have offensive problems. Yeah, it would have been better to stick with Baker.But , that is the browns !
Great stuff as usual, Lauren!
I always thought Mayfield just needed a new team and time to be fully 100% to bounce back. It is obvious he can throw and read defences. Its insane how much he was criticized while playing with serious injuries probably being on enough painkillers to put elephants into coma.
Thank you for this channel. Great in depth analysis videos that go hand in hand with your live streams. Keep them coming! 😊 PS: Let’s get you one of those movable arm-crane like mic holder. I get tired 😅 for you watching you hold your mic the whole time 😅
I used to work with a guy who played on the same high school football team as Baker Mayfield. I asked him if he was surprised that Baker won the Heisman and went #1 overall. He said "Dude, we were amazed that he ever STARTED in college."
Browns fans will always love baker. Love seeing him do well
I was a Browns fan up till the Watson trade, what they did to Baker was disgusting but it was one of the best things that could have happened to him, the Browns are an irredeemable dumpster fire organisation that do nothing but waste talent.
I'm now a Baker fan, wherever he goes I go.
Excellent video and analysis as well. No ego issues either, the story is the star, not the narrator. Refreshing!!!
Hearing the Buc's pk'd last in the division by the experts, after Brady's retirement. Searching for a replacement was successful. They obtained a young, heisman 1st pk in the draft. As rookie set all-time rookie td pass record. Baker ended all the embarrassment of the Brown's, leading them to p/o's after 18 yr absence, 26 since p/o win & 51yrs w/o p/o road win, having a 12 win season in "Cleveland"!!!! He's healthy and better. If Ram's didn't have Stafford, they would have snatched him
Go Baker! Go Bucs! I hope he rolls. He's shown he has matured a ton and he has a lot of offensive talent to throw to in Tampa.
From a Steeler's fan; Baker is not only a better, team player and Quarterback but a much better human than the being his team betrayed him for. And of the 2 the only one who could ever play for a team I owned!!! I enjoyed every time the Steelers beat him but cannot abide Cleveland's treachery!!!
Great video Lauren! You are a true talent! I am rooting for Baker big time!
watch baker get comeback player of the year
Baker is a DAWG!!! All heart. Can’t stop desire
Mayfield spent 2 more years in college than Mahomes, who came out after his junior year. Heisman year, BM had best line in college, all returnees, he had receivers like CeeDee Lamb who were always wide open. I forget the RB's name but like Mixon, he is in the NFL. Arguably the best supporting cast in all of college football.
True, Mahomes is a different level talent. CeeDee was RS freshman didn't play. Baker was cooking with Mixon, Dede Westbrook and Pro Bowl TE Mark Andrews.
I felt like he got a bad break in Cleveland, but he really shouldn't have been playing on that bum shoulder.
But it's hard for me to judge him this year considering they were playing the Vikings and Bears.
We'll see how he does against the Eagles, Saints (since they hate each other), Bills, 49ers
Vikings were supposed to be good this year but alr. Also I definitely hate the saints so if he can't beat the saints that's a problem I need a QB that can beat the aints.
Breh you do know the Vikings were 13-4 right?? Eagles were only 1 game better….Saints were 7-9 …. 69th had the same record as the Vikings 🧐🧐🧐 how were they not a valid test ☠️☠️☠️
The fact that even with a bad shoulder, and later that season add a knee injury, Baker was the best QB on the roster tells you how inept Cleveland is a putting together a team that has the depth to go the distance during the season.
@timclaus8313 Most any player will play hurt if given the opportunity. But the coaches and medical staff make the final decision. If the Browns didn't think Baker gave them the best chance to win his ass would have been on the bench. Baker would have played if it killed him. (Old Baker fan in Oklahoma said that)
@@garyhaley3072 And that was the problem with the Browns in '21, no depth at QB. If a QB with a torn up left shoulder and bad wheel is their best bet, the GM misunderstood the question.
First time I heard noooiiiicccceeee in years. Made me smile. Enjoy your videos.
Last year I saw that someone had made a comparison between Baker Mayfields career to that point with Drew Brees career at the same point. There were a lot of similarities. I made some comments to that effect (honestly plagiarized, pulled a Biden) on some other posts and I was castigated as completely ignorant (Another Biden trait). Well a year later as I wear my Buccaneers jersey, I am fervently hoping that the career comparisons continue.
Baker Getting out of Cleveland deserves a Massage as a Celebration
Was hoping he was going to be fine
I like the dude...hes got balls...and as a Rams fan, i thank him for the absolute Only highlights from last season.
How did almost no team recognize that a torn labrum is a big deal and he will be much better after healing?
Cleveland native, here. I 100% believe we'd be better off with Baker and I know many around here that feel the same.
I'm a lifelong Steelers fan, born and raisedinthe Burgh. I believe that Baker got hosed in Cleveland. He was the most promising player Cleveland had since they came back into the league in 1999. I'm very happy that he's getting a second chance in Tampa Bay. And Cleveland gets what they deserve for giving a serial predator $230 million.
That's funny. Didn't big Ben have a few off field issues? Baker was hated in the cle locker room and made the media turn on him because he was immature. This playing through injury narrative was his own doing. He wouldn't sit because he was due a new contract.
@titansrule72 Last time I checked, Ben didn't have TWENTY-SIX women accusing him of sexual assault. Oh, that's right. DeShawn Watson has that. I assume you're an apologist for him. I wasn't an apologist for Ben when that stuff happened. Browns made Watson king of town. Y'all are pathetic.
I've always been a fan of Mayfield and I don't even know why. Maybe an underdog thing. Also, I'd like you to know that maybe cuz I'm an old fossil I'm not a big fan of female sports announcers, but YOU are very good at this. I encourage you to pursue this if it's as important to you as it seems. You are very good at what you do and I truly enjoy watching your vids! Keep at it.
Im usually biased against females talking men's sports, but you totally proved me wrong. Well done 👍🏻 Subscribed
Mayfield got a raw deal in Cleveland. Watson just had his best game yesterday (FINALLY). Not sure if it will keep up but I believe the Browns would have been better with Mayfield and those draft picks
Not gonna lie...I always liked Mayfield even through the rough times! I was against the whole Watson deal but tried to be optimistic, which now I'm beginning to regret. I've been a Browns faithful since the 80's and always will be but i think their decisions will come back to haunt them...again!
Baker Mayfield has really played well thus far the buccaneers surprised me beating the Vikings overall but his biggest test is going to be on Monday night Lauren against the eagles we will see what he does in week 3.🏈
That "noooice" after his Tampa Bay completion percentage has me rolling lol
I admit i wanted Trask as the starter but only cause Bucs picked him for a reason. But with how Baker is playing, happy he is doing great. I have been saying the Browns messed up. Yes Baker wasnt a good look at Carolina(but Carolina isnt a good team at all) but when given weapons, he is top 10 qb
Awesome video !!!!! I love baker
One correction about Baker's injuries in 2021. Baker didn't just reaggravate his partially torn labrum vs the Cardinals he completely tore it and broke his shoulder on the same play
Great video Lauren hopefully he'll beat the eagles
Nah
I could see it. Bucs run D is still killer & Eagles whole offense is predicated on the run. Force Hurts to throw too much & everyone sees how "elite" he is
Excellent breakdown young lady. I couldn't have done better myself. BOOMER!😎
I’m a BAKER MAYFIELD FAN…
I’m a former BROWNS fan
and a former NFL fan…
The NFL is BS…
The BROWNS have to be the WORST MANAGED PROFESSIONAL SPORTS TEAM…
Really would be great if MAYFIELD came into CLEVELAND and lit up the scoreboard…
STUPID BROWNS
Mayfield > Watson
Miss Baker in Cleveland he should still be here in Ctwon he brought more energy to our games thanks ANY QB the Browns EVER had! Truly miss Bakers JUICE!!!!!!
He was a number 1 overall pick, how is that a UnderDog story?! Now Kurt Warner, that's a underdog story.
Haslam's Browns deserve what they sold their souls for. I wish Baker nothing but success!
You are AWESOME on the mic!
The team you play for can drastically effect how a qb plays. Not many qbs could play well in Carolina. Or Cleveland. Just like not many nba players could take Cleveland to a championship
Exactly!!! Put Brock Purdy in Cleveland or Carolina and lets see how he does.
Thank you for the video good stuff! 👍
As a lifelong Browns fan ill always be bitter for Baker Mayfield and even now hes one of my favorite players! Also love the vid!!
You are better than what they have on ESPN… congrats
This is a goated youtube channel
I will NEVER understand how seemingly educated people say ‘verse’ when referring to two teams opposing each other. A verse is in a poem, a song, etc. it’s ‘versus’, and the ‘s’ on the end isn’t silent. And no, it can’t be pronounced two different ways.
Nice in depth video.
Excellent video!
Thanks for the turnaround and playoffs!!! Go Brown's 🏈
Baker Regan Mayfield is my guy! And the Browns should be ashamed of themselves for ostracizing him and WILLINGLY sell the farm for a scumbag. Also, anyone rooting for Watson should be ashamed.
Glad Mayfield is away from that poverty franchise and with a legit contender. I grinned internally whenever Watson had an awful drive, got hit, or turned the ball over. If pay wasn’t based on position, Nick Chubb would get Watson’s salary. He’s an awesome guy who puts the team on his back. Wishing him a speedy recovery 🙏
@@ironrevenger9386 I do feel bad for Nick Chubb. He shouldn't have to suffer the incompetence of this good-for-nothing franchise.
@@trevonpernell0814 If Chubb recovers, I hope he can go to a good team and elevate their offense like Christian McCaffrey. He’s killing as a 49er and it’s great to watch.
Whoa I had no idea about his early college drama. That is wild. The Browns blew it in my opinion (and this is fresh cuz I just watched him destroy my Saints)
His biggest problem was being the number 1 pick, of which was a major reach, and obviously his arrogance did not help his likeability. I wouldn't get too high, just yet, we have seen this act before with him.
Great video …. but the title is misleading
Good analysis.
Baker is in a great position now he has two great receivers in Evans and Godwin. But poor Kyle Trask
The NFC South isn’t a strong division either so he should be able to make a playoff appearance
@@ironrevenger9386 NFC South might not be strong, but the Bucs have a pretty tough schedule outside of division games. Eagles this upcoming MNF, Lions, Bills, Titans, 49ers, Packers, and Jags (we'll see if last year was a fluke or not for Jacksonville).
@@nerofl89 Yeah, those are some serious matchups. Eagles would be a dream upset and the other teams have shown cracks in their armor
@@ironrevenger9386 Certainly, no team has looked unbeatable yet. The only decisive team I've seen so far is Dallas, but that is to be expected because their first four games of the season are against some of the weakest teams in the league (the Pats have been bottom barrel since TB left, no consistency and showing that Bill was clearly not main driver of success there). We'll see in week 5 when Dallas plays the 49ers how good they really are, though with their track record post season games have been a hurdle too high for them. Dallas also has a poor track record with keeping their star players healthy all year as well, so their success rides on them not losing too much to injury (they've already lost Diggs to a season ender). As for the Bucs, I expect them to do well, but this is Baker's first year with their playbook so I do expect turbulence though the team will be more cohesive as the season goes on. I just hope that the Bucs don't throw him under the bus for Trask if things get bumpy.
I'm a lifelong Brown's fan, gave up on the team when they dropped Baker the way they did. He literally saved the franchise and Stefanski threw it all away. Rooting for TB this year, hope Baker makes Stefanski and the Browns org look like the Jack wagons they are.
