Basically, an extended discussion of the difficulties a quarterback faces when going to a new team late in the offseason.

It's mostly common sense stuff, and admittedly valid. The picture that it paints isn't hopeless though. Tannenbaum does acknowledge that Mayfield could conceivably succeed, even if the current situation is challenging.

The only thing I'm worried about is if the Browns ruined him by playing him injured.  There's talk that he has adjusted his throwing mechanics.  That does not excite me.

As for learning a new O or walking on a new team, he went to the 1-31 Browns who had just lost the first 2 games of the season.  In the third game, they are down by 14 and Taylor gets hurt.  Mayfield makes his NFL debut, comes in and they come back to win the game.  They were in the playoff discussion until week 16, in his rookie year....that's with the HC being fired mid-season to be replace by....Kitchens.

He already knows the O-line coach, he knows Corbett and has chemistry with Higgins. Could be a lot worse. It will be interesting how Mcadoo approaches teaching 3 QB's the offense at the same time while 2 of them are "competing" for the starting job. Sounds like each guy getting half the reps they need if that's the case

I would be a lot more scared of that if it was his throwing shoulder that he had the injury and operation on.  And its REALLY hard to change your throwing mechanics permanently in such a small amount of time.  I imagine he will be back to throwing the same as he always has.

Is Baker allowed to say, meet up with Higgins and Corbett for example and run through some of the playbook on their own time? I know they can't meet with coaches but those guys came from Cleveland and could probably help speed up the deciphering before training camp even starts

Against who? The rookie or Sam? Maybe PJ? Too funny. 

This offense will be run first. All a QB needs to do this year is hand off the ball not not turn it over. The bar is so low there really isn't a need to force it with any of the QBs. If Baker can't win that job outright then we either have the answer in Corral or it's going to be clown porn football again.

It's a new offense for Darnold too. He's had a little extra time but he's new to it as well.

Also, if I’m not mistaken, wasnt Darnold horrible in OTAs? So bad that some writers said that’d be the last time we see him taking starter reps?

Reports were actually that he looked good in OTAs.

The reason they said he wouldn't be taking starter reps anymore was because they expected the team to trade for Mayfield.

      The "now it's been three years" Grade for the 2023 Draft

      By Steves89 · Posted

      Didn't  see this posted (since 2023) but since folks have been posting that you can't judge a draft class for three years (a ridiculous take), I thought I'd post this to see what people thought about the 2023 draft. Unfortunately this may not be the most interesting class to do this with but I do quite like retrospective draft grades. Would appreciate other's takes on this (and other recent) draft classes.   1(1) - Bryce Young QB: I am a bigger Bryce Young apologist than most (maybe all). I like the kid. But there is no way around it: This was a terrible pick. If he had been picked in the 4th or even the 3rd round I would feel pretty good about it. But this was the first overall pick that we gave up two firsts, our best offensive player to get.  GRADE: C -    2(39) - Jonathan Mingo WR: not much to say here here. He was here for two years. His yards per catch are on par with Bryce's yards per pass. Rough stuff. To date he has still never scored a touchdown in the NFL GRADE: F   3(80) - DJ Johnson OLB: a pick I hated as soon as it happened and an example of why the premise of this thread is honestly dumb. This was a bad pick when it happened. Most people knew it.  Then came training camp and he did not look good. Then came the preseason which confirmed what we saw in TC. Then came the season which confirmed what we saw in preseason. To date, he has half a sack in his career. GRADE: F 4 (114) Chandlers Zavala G: Honestly the best pick of this draft which really speaks to how awful this draft is. Other than Bryce, the only pick still on the team. He is mostly average or below average depth which in round 4 is not terrible. But he had a pff score of 43.5 and though I think people have unrealistic expectations for draft picks, I still would want a little more from a fourth round pick GRADE: C+   5 (145) - Jammie Robinson S: I liked the pick when it happened but ended up being a disappointment. He logged 1 tackle with the falcons last year and not enough snaps to get a grade on PFF.  GRADE: F OVERALL DRAFT GRADE: F
