I think a lot of people wanted Darnold and everyone expected him and he has been worst than Mayfield but only a few people absolutely hated baker. I was open to Darnold and Baker. I liked the idea of drafting Barkley and going after the QB that fell to 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NateDawg Posted September 14, 2020 Share Posted September 14, 2020 I understand that it is only week 1. I am by no means insinuating that Mayfield is going to have a terrible season or that he can’t turn things around, along with our team. Hypothetically speaking though, if baker Mayfield this season is the same baker Mayfield that we saw last season, do we pick up his year 5 option? I’m hoping he makes it an easy decision for us and we see the progress. I would just hate to be caught in purgatory after this season though if we are dealing with a quarterback who is bottom half of the NFL and we happen to be in a high draft position.

mtmmike Posted September 14, 2020 Share Posted September 14, 2020 No trade mayfield trade obj use picks for Rodgers. Better idea sell browns to amazon.com due you think the nfl would have said no to the sign and trade of Clowney if they owned us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think that you can. It used to be that you could pick up the option, then if they were healthy, cut them before the season if you needed to. Don't think that you can do that any more. I believe (I'd need someone to fact check me) that now when you pick up the option, it's fully guaranteed at the time it's picked up (previously was only guaranteed for injury). The first class that impacts is the 2018 draft class. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The good news is, with the cap going down, they sure as hell can't tag him again. That'd be crazy. The bad news is, I think that there would be a ton of competition to sign him. Indy is going to be all over that if he ends up hitting the market in the end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some wow throws but to many boneheaded INT’s or should be INT’s that got dropped. I did see the arm talent but that’s not enough Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hornbybrown Posted September 14, 2020 Share Posted September 14, 2020 Don’t judge Baker this season just yet. New system again, no preseason games and against a team that went 14-2 last year. The goat Tom Brady looked pretty bad in a new system today as well. We get to on paper eaiser games now to try and get something going. If he looks bad in those then I will happily pick up my pitchfork 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he gets out performed by a rookie QB, what’s the excuse? You can’t say the bengals had continuity in their favor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
