Donald behind this Oline...

Would he be better behind this Oline? Baker seems to bail out and not step up to throw. Maybe he is trying to get better throwing lanes due to his height. I know they say he has approximately 1.5 seconds to throw before the pocket collapses, which is two blinks of an eye. What's the forum's opinion on this? I'm not suggesting that they throw Darnold in, just want some feedback on what we have seen the last two weeks.

We have a half decade of football that shows Sam Darnold is at his worst when he has time.   

Time gives Sam more time to think and it always goes predictably bad in the end.   He doesn’t see and read a field well.  His throws are consistently late.

I thought Mayfield looked bad on the live watch. 

But Go rewatch the game. Every drive is killed by fumbles, penalties, or drops (or a combination). QB play is not the issue. 

Mayfield needs more time to get chemistry, but who wouldn't, but the offense played way better than I thought on re-view, in spite of predictable play calling. 

(One caveat- I've not seen the All22, which would help).

Duh! That’s the main reason I didn’t want Mayfield. Just like in 2020 when I was fine with riding Grier to 0-16, I would have been fine with letting Corral sink or swim. If he was the answer we’d see the flashes and if not, we’d be in great position to draft a better rookie.

The Browns were willing to trade multiple 1sts and commit hundreds of millions of dollars to a sex offender that hasn't played in a year, and is going to miss the better part of this season.  Just so they could attempt to upgrade from Baker Mayfield.

That says a lot about him as a QB imo.

    • The only WR that makes sense in the first is KC Concepcion. He fills multiple roles in the offense and is a PR specialist.
    • That depends upon what happens with receiver this year and what happens with free agency next year. Hopefully we'll be good by addressing receiver this year (regardless of whether we snag one in the first round or not). If we don't and are unlucky enough for to Coker get hurt (and X solidifies his bust status, and JAGs be JAGing), then we may be fùçked! But I assume that Dan Morgan and company will feel compelled to look for answers in free agency and use that to set up the draft just like this offseason.  Reality is not as simple as we drafted this position X times in a row in the first. If you're suggesting that we could draft a position in the first four times in a row, that's not likely. At some point probability has to be taken into account. I mean, how many years in a row can you be unlucky with one position?  As I've said at times before, you try and plan for the long term personnel-wise and cap-wise of course, but things happen so, in a sense, you still must look at each season--each "team" if you will--unto itself each season. So many things can happen between now and then. A major industry can profoundly impact the bigger picture (like this year), someone could offer you a trade proposal that you can't resist, players might not have progressed to your expectations--you know, things like that. Moreover, you have to be aware of the dynamics of each draft class, including the fact that there could be unexpected draft risers and fallers during the college season. That's a lot. As of today, we expect the 2027 draft to have more exclamations than question marks at OT and the QB class and WR group is expected to be exceptionally strong. We'll have a clearer picture of whatever we'll have to focus on next year at this time.  Lastly, keep in mind that there's always more than one way to get you to where you want to go. The yearly puzzle is not static, it's dynamic and complex.   
    • I'm fine with Thieneman or McNeil-Warren.. Rodriguez won't last until 51 so they would have to trade up, he may end up being a late first round selection. Anthony Hill Jr. is more likely to be available. I don't expect defense in the first round now after the murmurings of finding another weapon for Bryce.
