It's not like the Giants passed over Baker Mayfield, he was taken #1 overall. Wtf was the motivation here? What was the point? What did who the Giants selected in the draft have to do with him? Why was it necessary for him to even have a public opinion on it? Tellin' you, it's Brand Building. No such thing as bad publicity. Say controversial stuff, see your name in headlines.

iknowcool Posted August 20, 2019 Share Posted August 20, 2019 This isn't much different than when AB came at JuJu, other than people like JuJu a lot more (for good reason - what a cool dude). You don't talk trash about other players unless they give you a reason to (ie Norman/Odell). I kinda wanna like Mayfield. Mayfield planting the OU flag is legit one of the funniest things I've seen and we need more of that. So hopefully we get more of that and less of this, although this isn't really a big deal either. It's just one of those understood rules. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AFlaccoSeagulls Posted August 20, 2019 Share Posted August 20, 2019 Comments like this are going to make the Browns imploding this year all the more special to watch. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gmen Posted August 20, 2019 Share Posted August 20, 2019 Putting aside the fact that his comments were Busch league, they were also without perspective. He goes after Jones for not winning in college? Jones played at Duke, which had one other NFL player drafted in the past 4 years. His receivers dropped a ton of passes, and his offensive line was a turnstile. I posed the question in the nfl draft forum a few months ago about what their college career would look like if Jones played for Ohio State, and Haskins played at Duke. The same applies for Mayfield. News flash : Oklahoma didn’t miss a beat without you Baker. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ET80 Posted August 20, 2019 Share Posted August 20, 2019 Rather random and awkward. Not sure what Baker is trying to accomplish, outside of getting his name out there. It looks like he's embracing the heel, but why not talk about someone in your draft class? Why not pick a fight with Lamar Jackson, a guy in your class and division? Really odd. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why can't he just get asked a question, and then answer it honestly? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is entertaining. It's good for the NFL. A league full of robot Russell Wilsons following the same stupid script would be boring. I dont find it entertaining. I get it, he talks, the Browns haven't had this much hype in forever, the energy has been mostly positive though the Duke Johnson situation was a bit ridiculous too. But this is purely negative. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

candyman93 Posted August 20, 2019 Share Posted August 20, 2019 I’d be 100% cool with it if it was a division rival. However, Jones isn’t even in the same conference as us. Somebody else mentioned it, but go after Lamar. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe not to you, but to people. And no, answering a question honestly is not pathetic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
