I came to the conclusion yesterday. I went from thinking
well. Hey, it's DeShaun Watson. If they get him, you know, no
hard feelings Baker to thinking they're done with Baker. You
were saying yesterday. They're done with Baker. Morton was on
ESPN yesterday. They're done with Baker.
They want an adult
at the quarterback position languages. No coming,
right? I don't know how
similar language from somebody
from in the know. They're
and Cleveland to the same same wording there. So
I thought that was kind of funny, too.
There's no coming back from that.
Not, especially if you think the guys immature,
if you think the guys immature,
the last way that you're going to preserve, the relationship
is by leaking. The idea that you think he's immature because
you have to assume he's going to react
wait a minute immaturely.
So this is done. It's over. It's kaput.
What are they gonna do with Baker, Mayfield? Chris.
I mean, there's going to be suitors. I mean, he's talented
or not. He's an NFL starting quarterback. There's no doubt
with With still, you know, some upside
to where you look at it and go with there's potential. We know
that like we've said, when Baker Mayfield is hot again.
I mean, he's got a, he's got a pretty special arm.
I mean he can throw the ball, 70 yards in the air. He could
throw any throw on the field and put Power on it, fit
the ball and just you know, quick Windows. He does that but we
know
there's some inconsistencies
and then yes, there's been rumors for over the last year
or so about him kind of being a pain in the butt and Cleveland,
you know there. There has been, whether it's been with
the media, you know, you hear other rumors, of course the Odell
Beckham jr. Situation. And again the you know, even with
that I think that spoke volumes a little bit this year. It's
settled little something
so there is risk with it. But yeah Odell you didn't hear
anybody in Cleveland, you know, crapping Odell Beckham jr. When
he left town, I think that said a lot and then he went to
another team and they absolutely
love them. So
yeah, there's some issues there with Baker, Mayfield,
the details of that. I don't know, but we do know he's a pain in
the but we've heard that before. And it seems like
he used to fancy whatever the Bryson and Cleveland.
They don't see eye-to-eye and it seems like Cleveland's just
had enough and they're looking for a change.
And again, I don't want to reply this ground. But yeah,
you're worried about not having adult at quarterback. So you
the shop. I mean, with all the baggage with DeShaun Watson,
I you're swapping one problem for another problem at
the quarterback position. But ultimately, it comes down to
who can play at the highest level. And if Baker, Mayfield
was playing at a high level, they deal
with this. Look Aaron Rodgers is a pain in the ass, right?
It's well documented by now. Yeah, we've learned a lot about
Aaron Rodgers over the last year, and I think that it
Jordy of Americans who pay attention to the NFL
would agree that Aaron Rodgers is a pain in the ass, but he's
also one of the great quarterbacks of all time and
he's a two-time MVP, right? So the Packers will deal with it
if you're not. And at
the moment that Aaron Rodgers slips,
they're going to run him. The hell out of town. Yeah, as long
as he plays at a high level, he's fine, Baker Mayfield
doesn't play well enough to justify being a pain in
the ass. So they've had enough for years.
It's enough. We've got this contract situation. He wants
way too much money. We're never going to pay him that much.
Much. It's no. We're not going to let it play this year and
play. So well, there are fans will like you got to give him
50. Yeah, right.
No, right. No, it's done. It's over and we'll find somebody
else. I just don't know where they're going to go. If they
don't get to Sean W. I know it seems like it. I mean, it does.
It has all the feelings, especially even with the, you
know, his Instagram post or whatever, his tweet that he put
out the other night. That it just seems like, you know, it's
coming to an end there certainly and you know,
the the adult in the, you know, adult or were breaking up.
We want an adult.
What? I hear something like that again. I don't know
or anything, but this to me seems like it goes beyond,
you know, maybe being a little bit of a jerk behind
the microphone or having a spat with some player in the locker
room when I hear that, you know, that's where I would say
like, what it is different than DeShaun Watson and Aaron
Rodgers
know, they might be a pain in the butt for their own reasons,
but not when it comes to football, not when it comes to
football and they're going to listen to the Coaching. There's
going to be the conversation. They're going to do all
the things right in the
locker room on the field, you know, no excuses, whatever
else. Yes, and I have a feeling that with Baker Mayfield is Con
into that territory a little bit where,
you know, they're, you know, whatever it is. There's there's
something missing there that they don't like either let
alone maybe some of the antics, you know, like we've talked
about as far as attention behind the microphone and stuff
like that.
I just remember when he first landed on my radar screen, when
he was at, Oklahoma, Michael, Vision, was this kids kind of
a punk but there's something endearing about
him, right, as a punk.
And I'm sorry, but the shoe fits
and he comes to Cleveland. It's like, you know, he's still kind
of a punk, but I kind of liked it. It's kind of a, you know,
it's kind of edgy agent, right, likable. He's a likable Punk.
Right, right.
And then, as time goes by, I mean, that's a problem.
What we see publicly is just a sliver of what the team deals
with behind the scenes,
and, and we've seen enough of it Flash. Ash
in four years with the Browns. Whether I remember when he
went after Tony grossie, he was just being kind of
condescending and demeaning and disrespectful and it's a punk,
you're being a punk. And, and, and that was the first moment
of the fans last year because they booed.
That's right, but
he at some point at some point, he he went from likable, Punk
to unlikable, Punk, and if you are unlikable, Punk behind
the scenes, that's going to get you run out the door. If you're not
playing well enough. That's the worst possible.
And unlikable Punk, not a high-end performer.
They are going to get rid of you and it's crits funny. Chris.
I was thinking back to
stuff. They were trying to push on the media late in
the regular season. They plan to move forward Baker, Mayfield at
the quarterback position. That was one of the Sunday Splash
reports on NFL Network. One of the final Sunday's of
the 2021 campaign. And I wrote something about it. What I'm
saying, this
this is worthless. It's meaningless. They're trying to
push this idea to see if someone will trade for the guy.
They're Already laying the groundwork. Yeah, to trade
Baker, Mayfield by saying, we plan
to make him our side. We have no intent to trade Russell
Wilson. It's all the same chatter that you hear time. And
again when they're sending signals and the signals been
there that they're done with Baker Mayfield. And
it's clear now that they're done.
They're done
sir talked yesterday about the potential destinations.
Whoever may be interested. They've had a few days now to
really watch. Film and and ask them. That's it. You better be
comfortable
taking in Baker, Mayfield and everything that goes along with
Baker, Mayfield. If you're going to trade for him. You
can't say you're surprised if he shows up and he starts,
you know,
creating issues internally by being a certain. I was just
being a pain in the ass. Yeah, maybe he'll get his maybe he'll
get his wake-up call. I don't know.
A lot of it depends upon where he goes and how they welcomed
him in like last year when Carson Wentz gets kicked out of
Philly and goes to Indianapolis and he thinks it's not me, it's
them. Well,
wherever Baker Mayfield goes this year. They need to impress
upon him. You were the problem in Cleveland. We expect you to
change. Yeah, and no question again. Hey, it's quarterback
head coach. It doesn't seem to mesh, you know, as far as
personality wise that just from the outside looking
in stefanski, you know, usually had coaches offensive play
callers, want a quarterback, that's kind of an extension of
them to a degree,
you know, and stefanski seems like a pretty even killed. Same
kind of guy every day. Baker Mayfield seems like the Of
that, where it's all over the place and you know, that's
that's the way I look at it. You know. Again, that's
hey Drew Brees has an edge about them, just like Sean Payton
and then they're going to be surgically destroy you with
their brains. They were the same that way, you know, Brady
is very similar to a McDaniels or a bell a check as far as
being a robot and can
credibly that's what teams want as far as their quarterback is
concerned.
That's where it's a little iffy with Baker Mayfield. But like
I mean again, if I'm the Indianapolis Colts that this is
the guy that I'm going to put at the top, Top of the list.
I'm gonna go. Oh man. Okay. Well
again, our options are limited out here.
I'm Baker. Mayfield would certainly be a guy. I would look at
he fits that offense. They like to throw the ball down
the field with, you know, power outside the numbers. He can do
that, that would make sense, certainly.
And then like the other thing like you said, Mike Lee is
Cleveland, is like what's their plan? I got to think that they
have something ready. No matter what. Even if the Sean Watson
doesn't go there, the fact that they've gone down the path this
far with Baker Mayfield.
Field, that there's something lurking, whether that's it.
Jimmy Garoppolo trade, or they're fine with signing,
Marcus Mariota and making him the starter that got to think
they have another plan here. They didn't just do this and
go.
Well, we'll figure it out after we destroy him publicly
and then try to do it.
