Five Viable Options To Replace Baker Mayfield As Browns Starting QB

Case Keenum

Pro – He has been with Kevin Stefanski for years and has mastered the offense.  In 2017 with Stefanski, and as the starting quarterback in Minnesota, he went 11-3 and took the Vikings to the playoffs.  He also won a playoff game for them that year as well. He also went 2-0 as the Browns starting quarterback this year.  He also protects the ball, in 9 games in which he has seen action with the Browns, he has only thrown 1 interception.

Con – He is simply not good.  That 2017 season was a fluke quite frankly, if you remove the 2017 season and take away the 2 wins this year against a Broncos team that barely threw the ball and the Bengal’s backups, Keenums record is 16 – 32.  He also has very limited mobility and downfield vision.

Should they switch to Case Keenum? NO!  The Browns would be insane to do this long term. Had that they thought he was the guy, they would have made the switch when they realized how serious Mayfields injury was this season.  Think about it, they opted to play an injured Mayfield over a healthy Keenum when they still had a great shot at the playoffs. That should tell you all you need to know right there.

  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!
