Sticking with Baker Mayfield best plan for Cleveland Browns
By John Suchan
Baker Mayfield cares about Cleveland and winning here
Baker Mayfield had a bad day at the office on Sunday. You’ve all been there. Yes, he walked off the field after the game against the Lions and didn’t speak to the media either. You would have thought the sky was falling by listening to local and national media outlets and those fans that are done with him.
When he got to Cleveland, he told us that he wanted to be part of the change here and bring a winning mentality to the organization. If you haven’t noticed Mayfield’s biggest character traits have to do with determination and grit. To some, that comes off as cocky. He’s portrayed as being arrogant in times where the team has struggled.
I don’t care for the attitude he might exude at times. I want him to throw touchdown passes and help the Browns win games. Over the last two seasons, the team is 17-11 if you include the playoff win. Considering where this team was a few seasons ago and going 0-16, I’ll take where we’re at now.
Is Mayfield capable of taking this team to the Super Bowl? To those that are still arguing that we’ve seen enough and that it’s year four and he should be better by now, I’ll remind you again he’s playing through injuries this year.
At the end of last season, when the Browns were walking off the field after the loss to the Kansas City Chiefs in the AFC Divisional Round, were you saying what you’re saying now? The responsibility of winning an NFL game relies on a team effort not just one player like Mayfield.
I’ll stick with Mayfield. Plan B doesn’t make sense at this point.
