I agree. I didn’t want Mayfield for that very reason. While “things change” and it’s early, 2023 already appears to be a better overall QB class. Doesn’t mean Corral is doomed, but it does mean that we are now stuck in a likely case where we won’t know if Corral is good enough to not draft a 2023 QB. IMHO, Mayfield isn’t worth that risk as cheap as the trade was. I personally don’t see Mayfield as our future franchise QB so it feels like the past two years all over again. I’ll root for Mayfield and I think we will be a better team this year, but I still feel like we haven’t solved our biggest issue even with all the money and picks we’ve thrown at guys who the Jets, Vikings/Jets/Saints and Cleveland didn’t want.

If we dont make the playoffs then this entire regime is done.   And with a new staff coming in you can bet your ass we will be drafting a qb in the first.   No new regime is going to start their process with a 3rd round qb that didnt play his rookie year.  Hence one of the frustrating reasons of getting baker after trading a significant pick for MC

I hope they are doing their due diligence on the upcoming class.  If they are smart they will be looking for one worth trading up for if there is one they are in love with. 

Hopefully Baker Mayfield ends up as our franchise QB and we don't even have to consider drafting one next year.

Scouting the helmet in terms of NFL success at the position, from the school previously, is really misguided and most scouts will actually tell you that.

FWIW, my Ohio State sources have raved about Stroud since he was Fields’ backup. There’s a reason Chris Olave stayed an extra year when he likely would’ve been a first round pick

I love Anthony Richardson though, as a prospect. If you’re looking for Josh Allen, that’s the guy in this draft that I’d bet on (with Will Levi’s close behind).

We will see how he does this season, but he was a 35 and 5 guy last season. He is a pure pocket passer with good feet and pocket movement and can read defenses quite well, with a cannon arm.

College stats don't mean much.

He is a slight guy that isn't mobile and doesn't have an elite arm. He is going to have to be otherworldly to make much noise in the draft.

I like the kid but ask yourself which QB in this past draft he is/was better than? If there is more than about 2, that's not a franchise QB.

I haven't really seen the guy you're talking about but the description makes him sound like a WCO guy.

Richardson also has thrown 66 career passes with 7 TD's and 6 INT'S. If there is anyone who may tank hard, it's probably him. Literally next to no tape on him.

He isn't a WCO guy specifically. He has a good arm but it's not an NFL elite arm. He is a good player but he doesn't have any NFL elite traits. 

Think Taylor Heinicke.

If he can lead the Browns to the playoffs.....  Even his rookie season they were in play-off contention until week 16...for a team that had been 1-31...to barely missing the playoffs.  Had he played the first two weeks of the season that year, they might have made it.

Grayson McCall set the record for Passer Efficiency in 2021 and was Sun Belt Freshman and Player of the year in 2020. I've watched him a lot and I think he has the potential to be a great NFL QB. Apparently Tom Brady's brand thinks so as well as they've already hitched the TB12 wagon to him.

McCall we be there end of round 1 early round 2.  We can get him if we chose to take another stab at QB.

You were deadset against drafting a QB and declared Malik Willis the next Ryan Leaf. Yet you're a dedicated fiend for the Coastal Carolina product. This is why we can't have honest talks about the QB position in the draft anymore.

Malik Willis was the WORST passer against pressure in this draft class and he wasn't even close. I watched Coastal several times (App fan) including how he played at App despite constant pressure and a bum ankle.

McCall is twice the quarterback that Malik Willis is and it will show with where he gets drafted next year. My hate of Willis had nothing to do with the fact that he was at Liberty but rather the fact that he is terrible when faced with pressure. He also can't hit anticipatory throws and if you listen to Steve Young, that is either something you have or don't have. Willis ain't it.

McCall on the other hand obliterated the FBS Passer Efficiency mark set by Tua, while having nearly 13 yards per Attempt, and running what I'd imagine to be a 4.6 40 at 6'3 and 210. There is nothing to not like about him.

      How many Qbs can you name better than Bryce Young?

      By MasterAwesome · Posted

      You kinda gloss over this, but this is really at the crux of this whole argument....which Flacco are we talking here?  You bring up that he played with 3 different teams but ignore the fact that his performance varied quite a bit from team to team. 2024 Colts: 65.3% completion, 12 TDs, 7 INTs, 220.1 YPG, 7.1 Y/A, 90.5 rating 2025 Browns: 58.1% completion, 2 TDs, 6 INTs, 203.8 YPG, 5.1 Y/A, 60.3 rating 2025 Bengals: 63.4% completion, 12 TDs, 3 INTs, 290.6 YPG, 6.8 Y/A, 96.2 rating 2025 Flacco (Browns + Bengals): 61.1% completion, 14 TDs, 9 INTs, 252.0 YPG, 6.1 Y/A, 80.8 rating vs. 2025 Bryce: 62.7% completion, 14 TDs, 7 INTs, 196.2 YPG, 6.2 Y/A, 86.0 rating I bolded the comparison that I think objectively makes the most sense...just simply comparing the two QBs for the entire season.  Otherwise you'd be cherry-picking Flacco's time with the Bengals and ignoring his earlier stint with the Browns, which sounds an awful lot like people cherry-picking Bryce's stats in the second half of last season. So again, which Flacco?  Basically the only thing consistent with Flacco across each of these teams was his W/L records: 2-4, 1-3, and 1-4 respectively.  I'd say if we're comparing each version of him to Bryce this year: Colts Flacco > 2025 Bryce, Browns Flacco <<< 2025 Bryce, Bengals Flacco >> 2025 Bryce, and 2025 Flacco < 2025 Bryce - Flacco this year only beats out Bryce on YPG but in part because he throws significantly more passes (almost 60 YPG more than Bryce, despite a lower Y/A which is pretty telling) .  Flacco is maybe the most apt case study about how important a QB's circumstances are to his success.  He was easily a bottom 3 QB in Cleveland and arguably top 10-15 in Cincinnati...and we're talking about the same player from the same season.  All that happened was taking him from one team and plopping him onto another team; nothing inherently changed about him as a QB.  Funny enough I think that's all that one dude on here was trying to say when he made that long poorly-received post after having an epiphany working for PFF behind the scenes or w/e.  That it's largely short-sighted to just try to evaluate QBs in a vacuum when there are so many variables at play that ultimately decide whether a QB is successful or not.   I think Bryce has been mediocre at best this season and I'm ready to move on regardless of how he ends this season - I'm highly skeptical a strong end to the season will carry over into next year considering how last year ended and this year began.  I would certainly agree that he's a bottom-third QB this year.  I just don't understand you scoffing indignantly at anyone holding the opinion that Bryce has had a better season than Flacco...I can only assume it's recency bias.  Or maybe you know the stats don't support you, which is why you're conjuring up the god-forsaken arbitrary "eyeball test" which is the kinda thing people in here were saying about Fields for years, pinky promising that he really truly was a franchise QB despite his awful stats.  Perhaps it's called the eyeball test because I roll my eyes anytime I hear someone bring it up seriously as an argument.

      A question no one is asking about Bryce and The Panthers

      CMC said he expected to play his career here.  He didn't think he would be traded.  Carolina decided they wanted to trade him.  He picked here he wanted to go.   But we dumped him.  For largely peanuts.   But we dumped DJ Moore and he never had a blood and guts game.   So it's never a guarantee.

      I have many people telling me CMC was blindsided and heartbroken by the trade, but that's not how I remember everything going down.  49ers are pretty wounded right now on defense so if our offense can sustain drives and score, that'd be the difference maker. Their offense? I'm not scared of CMC.
