Baker is still on a rookie deal.  He actually isn’t being paid to be great right now.  OBJ is paid to be great.  Which he isn’t.  He isn’t a great NFL WR.  He is just a talented guy. 

and if it is all a Baker problem, why is it just OBJ that stands out as not working?  Goes back IMO to why he ended up Clev to begin with 

Even then, it can absolutely be a mix of two things. Can Mayfield need to improve AND OBJ be overrated/not worth his contract and any chemistry issues...?

No surprise a team would choose to retain a viable QB option vs another player in that situation.

Especially when the latter is a locker room cancer.

I have heard many NFL types say that OBJ is a hard worker. Michael Strahan just said it this morning. Sure, he's a diva like many NFL WRs, but I think it's pretty obvious that Mayfield hasn't played at an elite level and had neglected OBJ to actually both of their detriments. 

On an off note, most NFL types say that Mayfield is not an elite QB as compared to the top QBs in the game today. Smith just put his brand of exclamation point on it. Regardless if Mayfield is being paid to be "great"or not, even on the rookie deal, he's still being paid millions, and he's being paid to do better than he has done thus far.

The Giants couldn’t wait to get OBJ out of the building and now we see similar with the Browns.  Obviously not OBJs fault

Gettleman couldn't wait to get him out of the building notwithstanding his newly signed contract.

Of course the Browns couldn't wait to get him out of the building once his father pulled what he pulled. But the thing is, Mayfield was obviously overlooking OBJ. That is on Mayfield.

Yeah this is totally wrong.  Browns GM said it was much more than what OBJs father did.  OBJ barely cares about playing football most of the time.  Overrated is an understatement.

Bullshit! It doesn't square with everything I've heard from multiple NFL analysts.

      Emanuel McNeil Warren + Jacob Rodriguez

      By Bear Hands · Posted

      Given the draft makeup after the top-10 or so, I feel many teams are going to be hoping for trade downs. Which makes downward movement a bit more tricky.  So they may just go for the best impact they see fit and surprise.  I mean, can use someone at all levels of our defense (ILB, DE, S and Slot). Offense need more OL bodies and could use another WR. No way we can be zeroed in on a particular position.  Makes me damn curious to our board and how they’re weighing immediate vs long term impact.  I still see multiple guys rather than positions in play. S: Thieneman, McNeil-Warren ILB: Rodriguez, Allen DL: Faulk, McDonald WR/TE: Saddiq, Cooper, Boston, Conception OL: Freeling, Proctor, Lomu, Iheanachor Heck, even the EDGE group in our range is interesting like Parker. - Then there’s these guys that are in that 19/51 fringe range that seem to be really good fits-Haulcy, J Rod, Golday, etc.

      I guess I could see it if we got breaks, but we got the breaks this year and it was still 8 wins.   Also I dont see TB crumbling, they are a competent franchise that hit the injury bug last year I dont know what to think about NO so theres that. Atlanta majorly upgraded at coach so there is always something to having a competent grown up leading a team.

      Glad he's coming back but honestly surprised. I guess the new staff convinced him there was going to be PT for him. It was baffling how Hubert never played him. Its not like we were a top 10 type team looking like a contender and had it all figured out. We should've been giving him opportunities. There was no reason not to. Utter lack of bench development and hard headedly running his starters into the ground because he was afraid to go to his bench was an knowing issue with Hubert that he just wasn't growing out of with more HC experience. If you don't play them how are they supposed to develop? And his starters could do no wrong. Didn't matter what they did, they wouldn't get yanked and their playing time wouldn't decrease. But if a bench guy came in and made one mistake he was probably getting buried for three or four games. That's a recipe for your starters playing sloppy and your bench playing tight and scared. Saw it year after year.
