Five Viable Options To Replace Baker Mayfield As Browns Starting QB

Mitchell Trubisky

Pro’s – The former Mentor Cardinal tore it up down the stretch in 2020 as he helped lead the Chicago bears into the playoffs. After spending a spell on the bench in 2020, he bounced back for a tremendous finish leading them. He finished 2020 at 6-3 as a starter that year, and 29-21 as a starter in his career.  He led the Bears to the playoffs twice since being drafted there in 2017.

Cons – Unless your name is Bernie Kosar or LeBron James, the thought of a hometown boy coming back to win a Cleveland team a championship, just seems far-fetched.  The pressure on Trubisky would be too much and it would end badly.  When the heat got to be too much in Chicago at times, Mitch would crumble in the big moments.

Should the Browns make the switch to him?  No.  The risk would outweigh the award and I just don’t see it working out.  Baker has 4 years in this locker room and in this city, I’d rather give him a fifth then hoping you strike some kind of magic with Mitchell Trubisky.

  1. Stop blaming Baker for our bad offense, The coaching staff is the real reason. Stop coddling the coach, he puts Baker in more losing situations than winning ones. Don’t believe me? How come we don’t use the best running back tandem in the NFL at the same time and make defenses adjust to us. He modeled our impressive offense after the juggernaut Minnesota offense the set what 30 straight NFL records for scoring (he said sarcastically)? Give us a break and call the coaches out, and don’t forget Joe Woods, Not offense, but has constantly failed to stop the other team when the game was on the line.

  2. Keep Keenum and Mayfield, draft a rookie in lower rounds. QB position is fine as it is. FIx the rest of the offense (except the running backs).

  3. This sounds like the most viable option. Baker has the talent; don’t set him up to fail like the Browns & the Buffalo Bill’s have done for over 20 yrs. And, Get rid of Landry(?). Ok so he had a lacklustre season, or was it they did not have an adequate 1 – 2 punch on receiving positions after OJB left? I never liked him (OBJ) but the 2 of them were productive, I am fairly sure!
