Baker Mayfield came to camp out of shape and has been throwing people under the bus all season long. Even with that, I still don’t blame him. A good portion of his interceptions this season have been tipped balls or bad routes. Now, that’s not to say his play hasn’t been poor, I just don’t believe it is all his fault.
The play calling and line play has been horrendous. Higgins was hurt and has been in the doghouse ever since. David Njoku has also been hurt. Callaway was suspended and then lost in the soup when he returned before getting cut. He basically has had no name tight ends, and Jarvis Landry to throw the ball too as OBJ is almost always double covered.
A healthy Njoku and a coach who used Higgins properly, and this season is much different right now.
Baker needs to be better, much better, but this is not his fault. He has targeted OBJ 108 times in 13 games, that is an average of 8 times a game. It needs to be higher, but a lot of things need to be different.
If Baker shuts up, focuses on nothing but football and gets a decent line in front of him, then next year will be much better. Don’t throw the towel in on number 6 just yet.
The problem is clear, and we can address that on Page 4.
You are right in most of what u say. My problem with OBJ is me me me. He makes his own rules with when to show up and the uniforms garbage and he can catch a ball thrown to him. Now dose he really want out. Our coaching and line are terrible. Looking back we would have been better off with no trade. It led to the hype they fed us and sale of tickets. Not wins. Let it play out now. We have no choice. We dug our own hole. What i want to see OBJ DO IS DO FOR THE LEAST OF MY BROTHER ! Dose he care about people or just his pocket and stardum. If we could get what we gavefor him viatrade. Than do it. Make a stand. What a wasted year. I hope as a team it can be changed and next year will be our year. If not we have the same old clowns
Seems he is never happy don’t he have some game changing drops
It will be yet another year of changing players and coaching staff.
Let the team get a couple years of routine. Knowing the plays and eachothers style.
The great teams have longevity of the same players. Can’t put a bunch of new folks together expect them to play well.
