shoffma1999 Posted September 21, 2018 Share Posted September 21, 2018 Completely different team with Mayfield at QB. We actually looked like a competent football team against a solid defense. The running game also opened up because they couldn't sell out with defenders stacked in the box anymore. Mayfield handled the rush beautifully as well. You can see the other players respond to his energy and trust him. The crowd was immediately re-energized as well. It took me back to the days when teams feared coming to Cleveland because fans would pelt them with batteries and whatnot, lol. We need to get that intimidation factor back. We need to own our own house then start building some continuity so we can travel better as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing is guaranteed, but this time it's different. I think last night will be looked back upon as a milestone for our team. There will be ups and downs, but this is probably the end of the embarrassment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OhioG Posted September 21, 2018 Share Posted September 21, 2018 Dak looked amazing his first season as well. Lets temper our expectations, give the kid time and he will be the franchise QB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big difference is that Baker is doing things that are sustainable, and raising the level of play of everyone around him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lets temper our expectations, give the kid time and he will be the franchise QB Daks was playing on a loaded team tho. HC and OC have been there for years and been successful. Best OL in the league, stud RB that was an amazing blocker on bltizes. Damn good group of receivers. 2nd best WR is a rookie TE is a 2nd year guy rookie LT and 1st year starter at RT Rb trying to start his career OC in his first year in town learning how to use the team. Only thing Baker has over rookie Dak is a better defense Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The OL looking better with Baker wasn't a coincidence. Tyrod doesn't throw to the middle of the field because he doesn't want to risk picks. So they were able to send 5th/6th rushers far more frequently without worrying about opening up middle crossing and seam routes. As soon as Baker went in, that was no longer an option.

FGK Posted September 21, 2018 Share Posted September 21, 2018 I just went back and watched every snap of Baker's. Without drops, he's 20/23 for about 270 yards. In 2.5 Quarters. That's a full game pace of 32/37 for 430ish yards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FGK Posted September 21, 2018 Share Posted September 21, 2018 Legitimatley, my #1 fear for our long term future as a team at this point is that Baker saves this coaching staff their jobs and we get stuck in a Green Bay McCarthy type situation where we have the talent to go to the Superbowl year in year out and our coaching holds us back. I was really looking forward to some offensively brilliant coach coming in next year to take Baker and this group, add a stud #1 WR, and wreck the league.
