Five Viable Options To Replace Baker Mayfield As Browns Starting QB

Marcus Mariota

Pro – In 2015 the Tampa Bay Buccaneers drafted Winston first overall, and then Tennessee selected Mariota second because at one point, he was that highly thought of.  He is 29-32 as a starter in 4 seasons as a regular starter, which is very close to Bakers numbers.  3 of those seasons he actually had winning records too.  His losses compiled in rookie season as he went 3-9.

Con – He is just not that good quite frankly.  I didn’t see the allure of picking him second overall in 2015 when the Titans did it, and I see it even less now. The last time he was an every week starter in the league was way back in 2018.  I just don’t get how this would be an upgrade or game changer.

Should we replace Mayfield with Marcus? No!  I cannot believe people are even thinking this right now.

  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!
