The Browns are shutting Baker down. He's going to miss the final game and have surgery.

5th year already picked and is guaranteed. Might as well shut him down. They didn’t know that they were eliminated til Sunday and he had taken the reps during practice.

Honestly what upgrade is there?

Pitt, Denver, Wash, Carolina, New Orleans will be looking. Minnesota would if they can move off Cousins. Houston, no clue what they see in Mills so far. Unwise to spend their top pick on this years class of QBs.

I would bet that Rodgers stays in GB. Wilson it’s up to him. But he has certain markets in mind that also need to fit for his wife Ciara. Watson has a no trade so he calls the shots there. Plus he may miss games next season as well due to suspension.

There may not be a realistic better option. We saw several veteran QBs move this past off-season and may see more this off-season. But wanting a QB and getting one remains two points very far apart.

Baker may remain the Browns starter next season by default no matter what the coach or front office wants.

But the drama should be interesting.

Baker will get a 5th year. His labrum injury will be enough of an excuse for the Browns to give him one last shot.

If you look at it from the Browns perspective, most of the options out there are either a) not all that much of an upgrade on Baker (Cousins, Jimmy G, Carr) where it's worth sending assets out to get them or b) the guy will have to want to come to Cleveland (Russ, Watson) when it's clear they have other destinations in mind. Especially in Wilson's case where he wants the bright lights of NYC and the Giants have the assets to make a deal happen if they so choose.

Carr is a guy the Raiders won’t trade unless they are forced to. Put him in a bar below Wilson and Watson.
Jimmy, the 49ers need that cap space to upgrade the roster to support Lance. Have to move him. But he’s like baker and Goff who need a supporting cast. He’s not carrying a depleted roster.

cousins contract is insane. Vikings can’t move off him. The Man is a $45 mill dead cap hit. His 2 year extension was fully guaranteed.

He is an idiot so this take isn't surprising

And frankly voters like him should not have a vote

 

[TheGreenTBer]

What a tool. He sounds like one of us shitposters except he actually should be taking his role seriously.

Bingo. What a disgrace.

I despise Aaron Rodgers but he's as valuable to his team as any player in the league. If you have voting responsibility then leave your personal feelings out of it.

Just devils advocate...
Lieing about being vexed to my is cheating a drug test..therefore misconduct?
If that is what he is referring to.

Hall of fame decides who gets the votes don’t they? Should rescind those of people who don’t follow the procedures of the voting process in terms of factors to consider.

The official criteria of the hall of fame includes judgement of character, so technically if Rodgers shit in their cheerios on purpose, that's part of the consideration

Did they change that? That was not the case as I remember one voter saying he would have to consider Darren Sharper for his on-field work despite the sexual misconduct and rapes


Sharper's HOF nomination causes national outcry

Well, he is an idiot for suggesting that, but to my knowledge it hasn’t changed.

I found the article from 2016 and added it, where the HOF states there is no Character clause

Living about his Vax is team related by putting teammates at risk if it be health or positive test and missing games.. If that's his reason for him thinking AR is a jerk..

Maybe I have it confused with baseball then. But if it’s not official, it’s definitely unofficial. They kept Owens out the first two years.

Hub covers Chicago sports. My guess is he is a salty bastard about Rodgers telling Bears fans that he owns them.

I heard the interview and part of his reason is lieing about being vaxed which I agree with only cause he lied and missed the KC game because of it.
Also his holdout and wanting more personal control of the team.. shouldn't effect the voting but whatever..

 

[Elvis P]

Florio and Simms are saying that the number of games played per season doesn't matter to season all time records set. If it takes me 14 games and you 17 games, that doesn't matter? Then Jordan's 30.1 PPG (which includes the Wizards) doesn't matter, because full season records are the only thing that matters.

MVP Rodgers missed a loss and teammates may have missed games due to him not following protocols. That's on the field, not off the field.

AB is gone!

 

[Blitzkrug]

Something's brewing in Cleveland.

Lots of reports suddenly coming out about how big of an alleged prick Baker Mayfield is.

Apparently Baker Mayfield and Kevin Stefanski Have So Many Issues That Baker May Ask The Browns For A Trade



Other sources are saying he might just have a slight attitude problem, which led to Mayfield going on the warpath on twitter.



Cabot is a hack but given there's sources outside of Cleveland getting in on the story you gotten figure something's going on

 

[GKJ]

I'm not saying this is true, but some guy who was a hack started the same thing about Wentz, that seemed inconceivable and had teammates rushing to his defense, calling the reporter out, and that became a 2-year shitshow.

So if this is a problem, better deal with it now.

 

[Troy McClure]

A lot of athletes play the “no one ever believed in me thing” to get motivation. Baker takes it to another level because he spends way too much time reading what reporters say about him and reading what people say online. He then lashes out constantly, which only lets the world know he reads the clippings.

Heck we have him here replying to Cabot, which is just embarrassing for an athlete to do, especially when she is probably the writer who defends him most of all Cleveland media. Don’t let the world know all it takes is a very mild article like this to get under your skin.

He rides a rollercoaster of emotion, and it makes him a frustrating guy to watch. This cycle remains true, but he remained stuck in the top box for most of this season.
