I want Baker Mayfield as far away from Cleveland as possible. Have we learned nothing?
Why?
Because he's short he's Manziel?
Get out of here you're better than that. The Browns need to take not one but two shots, and higher up picks, on QB's in this draft. Keep taking shots until you hit on one. It's the only way to solve this problem by bypassing the sheer luck factor.

This is not a smart strategy. You can't develop three young QB's at the same time. You can't.
There isn't. Nobody has separated themselves from the group yet.I just want to know who you guys think is the top guy.
Not because he looks like Manziel, but he seems to play like Manziel. He, too has no respect or feel for a pocket. He's not always looking to run, I'll give him that, but he thrives not by moving the pocket, but by abandoning it. That'll get a little guy killed in the NFL. He's also short and one of the things people love about him is.... his demeanor, his "moxie". So, it's the physical make-up that I don't like more than anything, but the "intangible" attractiveness scares me.
Just like Money Manziel, I'll root for whomever they draft. I just sincerely hope they don't bank on Baker Mayfield as the future of the Browns.
Says who?
Then give me some later guys the Browns can pick that are better talent wise. I'll wait.
If you can get Rosen at #1 and Mayfield later you fucking do it. Both are good players, and both have a good chance to be good QB's in the league. Just because a player is short doesn't mean shit. AKA Drew Brees and Russell Wilson.
What? Okay I'll play along. Kizer finishes this year out. He has some moments but you're not completely sold on him. You draft Sam Darnold in the top 10 next year and Baker Mayfield later on in the draft. Who's your day 1 starter? Who's the backup? Are you gonna carry all three all season? Are you gonna give them all game reps? You are seriously going to try and play two rookies and a second year QB who will still be one of the youngest QB's in the league?
There isn't. Nobody has separated themselves from the group yet.
We'll see how things unfold in the coming months.
If the status quo remains the same, I'm with you. Take James, trade up for one of the QB's, even if it isn't the first one off the board.
I disagree because I don't think you just take 2 QBs and blink, and it's all fixed. Drew Brees loves his pocket (and is incredibly accurate) and Russ Wilson is the exception. There needs to be a reason why Baker Mayfield is the guy, not why other guys show that he can be. I don't see that reason; I see a kid flattened outside the tackle box, which is why I don't want him.
Who's the starter?
Whoever the fuck is the best QB of the bunch.
Who's the back-up?
Whoever the fuck is the second best.
Who's third string?
Whoever sucks the most (Kizer)
You play when you earn it.
