Baker Mayfield

Scoutboat

The Cleveland Browns quarterback.
The real deal or what?

mindyabiness

Nope......not the real deal. Will never see the post season.

AC Man

A work in progress. Time will tell.

Potentially the real deal, assuming the organisation can get him the proper supporting cast.

I think that's his biggest obstacle, although not the only one.

Real Deal

Kids only succeeded so far.

Real deal, and the organization seems to be on the right track, finally.

Scoutboat

I'm optimistic.

What's the bench mark for "real deal"?
Somewhere between Joe Montana and Andy Dalton?

He just got his 1st NFL fine $10,026 for a lewd gesture at his own offensive coordinator.

It said he completed a 66 yd pass & ran to the sideline & pointed at his groin at the coord.

AC Man

He has some odd thing about flaunting his package. Not right..

Can you imagine Marino, Elway, or any old school quarterbacks doing that. 

He needs to chill out.

GA Fin

He seems like a punk to me.

 agree. I see him as another Johnny Manziel.

kellercl

He has 10x the skill that Manziel ever had.  So not the same player.  Manziel was a headcase and was terrible at football on the professional level.

Baker might have some punk in him, but he is no Manziel. Baker is the reason they have won games. Manziel looked horrible as a pro. 

Itch-2-Fish

Real.  Just set the record for most TDs in a rookie reason - 27.  That's no accident.  He's already better than half the starters in the league.  Immature antics but has the skills.

Gardawg

He was making the Ravens sweat …

Resinhead

Teams have 1 year of film to study now. Let's see how he does next year.

kellercl

Manziel in two seasons tossed 7 tds....  baker has already passed manziel's entire career accomplishments.

2amigo

And Mayfield gains another year of studying other defenses tendencies and gets more comfortable with increased knowledge.  It goes both ways

BM was traded to the Panthers for a 5th round draft pick. The only passing he's doing is into obscurity. The stories about his inability to lead and tendency to divide the team are starting to surface.

Tony Roma

Should win the job over Darnel but I don’t see Carolina making any playoff runs

Gardawg

Another Heisman wash out ...

conchydong

The Browns should have traded him for Brittney Griner. Win Win for everybody.

says a lot

Tony Roma

And the Browns had  to eat a chunk of the contract
