He was asked and gave his honest opinion so he told the truth. People don't tell the truth and fear backlash, especially in this day and age but most people don't take over an 0-fer that had a 1-31 record and say He is the guy to turn it around. BAKER MAYFIELD PROMISES TO TURN AROUND NFL FRANCHISE A team who hadn't won a game in over a year. Very first playing time he took over, won the game and then goes onto set the all-time NFL record for TD passes in his rookie season. A guy who got his first start in the fourth game. Most people don't have that sort of confidence and won't tell the truth because they fear the backlash. Bake doesn't care and he's certainly not dumb. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

cloppbeast 1,415 Posted August 20, 2019 Share Posted August 20, 2019 I've liked Mayfield thus far as kind of a Brett Favre type of guy. Nothing wrong with some gunslinger brashness and cockiness. But now he's acting more like a sniveling pip squeak, insulting a colleague out in the open for no reason. Seriously wtf? I don't even think Johnny Manziel ever did that. Why is he even concerning himself with Daniel Jones anyway - the Giants' back up? He's not a talent evaluator, he's a quarterback. I think he should be more worried about the defenses he's going against. I will laugh my butt off if this dream team falls on its face. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

jmo87usc 397 Posted August 20, 2019 Share Posted August 20, 2019 I don’t think Mayfield is trying to be a jerk, but yes, the correct answer is: “I’m sure the Giants did what they felt was best for their team. I am a Cleveland brown and my only concern is doing all I can to win games for them.” The New England Robots are very boring in interviews, but they don’t have to deal with media blowing their responses out of proportion either.

In general, when we say bad things about other people that didn't need to be said, its because we are subconsciously seeking to elevate ourselves in our own minds or the minds of others. While an individual may, in general, convey a sense of bravado and self-confidence, these little slip-ups offer insight into subconscious fragility.

What you're describing isn't what really what happened, despite all the click bait. The original article. Quote Near our booth, a SportsCenter segment about the New York Giants catches Mayfield's eye. “I cannot believe the Giants took Daniel Jones,” Mayfield says, about New York's much-maligned draft-day decision to spend the sixth pick on the quarterback from Duke (whose college record was a measly 17–19). “Blows my mind.” I tell Mayfield that I'm mystified that so many supposedly expert quarterback scouts seem unable to predict what makes a good NFL quarterback. “Some people overthink it,” Mayfield says. “That's where people go wrong. They forget you've gotta win.” The headline was definitely misleading as he never calls the guy a loser, I'll give you that. But Mayfield brings up the subject of Daniel Jones on his own, and ####s on him out of the blue. Edited August 21, 2019 by cloppbeast 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Faust 5,014 Posted September 9, 2019 Share Posted September 9, 2019 Quote Baker Mayfield underwent precautionary X-rays on his injured hand following Sunday's Week 1 loss to the Titans. Mayfield didn't look right in the opener, throwing three interceptions including a pick-six to Malcolm Butler late in Sunday's blowout loss to Tennessee. The former No. 1 pick took a beating against the Titans, taking five sacks and a safety behind the Browns' anemic offensive line. Luckily, it appears he escaped with just a bruised hand. Baker will look to rebound against the Jets—who he defeated for his first NFL victory last year—on Monday Night Football.

I get that, but the plays are designed by both of them - as well as the game plan. Freddie may have been calling the plays, but let's not act like Monken wasn't involved. My point is that from what little I could see on Sunday, it didn't look like anything we've seen from Kitchens the end of last year. Place the blame wherever you want, I'm just saying the three of them (Kitchens, Monken, and Mayfield) need to get on the same page and fix it. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
