I am surprised. I do not remember Baker throwing darts like that in college. Obviously, the kid has a great arm. And even the longer pass on the sideline was on target. The WR dropped it but Baker couldn't have thrown it much better. I thought it was best for the Browns to sit Baker all season but that ship has sailed. It would be stupid to sit him now.If anyone is surprised by the strength and arm talent of Mayfield, I distinctly recall this from the pre-draft process that made me raise an eyebrow.
Josh Allen, Baker Mayfield top QB velocity during combine throwing session
The 'other' shocker is Lamar Jackson with such a low velocity rating.
Baker has a serious gun, he clicked on over 70% of his passes last night and had a couple of WR drops.
Can you imagine if/when he starts connecting with Callaway on those go-routes?
Not sure how this will play out the rest of the season. Baker will likely make rookie mistakes but Hue better not play his QB games where he goes back and forth with starters. The future is now for the Browns. They are on upward path no matter if they win 3 more or 6 more games this season. The team is going to compete every week.
