How Baker Mayfield ranks in Cleveland Browns history

Completion Percentage

This list is about to throw you for a loop. To present the statistics, I decided to only take quarterbacks who have started three or more games for the Cleveland Browns and have at least thrown 20 passes.

Those are pretty low standards, and the goal was to take out the players who have only thrown one or two complete passes.

With that being said, let’s take a look at the data.

"1) Cody Kessler (2016-2017): 63.76% Completion Percentage 2) Kelly Holcomb (2001-2004): 63.71% 3) George Ratterman (1952-1956): 62.75% 4) Charlie Frye (2005-2007): 62.43% 5) Jake Delhomme (2010-2010): 62.42% 6) Gary Danielson (1985-1988): 61.69% 7) Baker Mayfield (2018-Present): 61.47% 8) Josh McCown (2015-2016): 60.39% 9) Tim Couch (1999-2003): 59.8% 10) Trent Dilfer (2005-2005): 59.75%"

Cody Kessler may have never won a game as the Browns starting quarterback, but hey, he at least kind of holds a record! Let’s face it, this isn’t the most impressive list of quarterbacks. It should be pretty easy for Baker Mayfield to shoot up this list, and his goal for next season should be around 65% completion percentage.

Baker Mayfield, before last season, was actually the holder of this record. His rookie year he completed 63.8% of his passes and only 59.4% of his passes in his sophomore slump. With a better offensive scheme to fit his playstyle, he should be able to reclaim his record here with ease.

Baker is a pretty accurate passer of the football, and I for one thought he could end up very similar to Drew Brees in terms of their play styles. Brees is probably the most accurate quarterback in NFL history. I’m not saying that Baker is as good as Drew Brees now, or ever will be, but I am saying they have similar play styles.

Another little fun tidbit of information is that Robert Griffin III is actually 11th on this list, as he had a completion percentage of 59.18% in his five games as the Browns starter. For the next stat category, I wouldn’t get your hopes up on seeing Cody Kessler or RGIII make another appearance.
