Did any of you buy into the offseason Cleavland Browns Hype? I know I sure did! The Browns have gotten off to a slow start so far but when you look at how much talent is loaded on the roster it makes you wonder how they are not destroying opponents.
No don’t get me wrong, I like Baker Mayfield as a QB and had him rated #2 last year right behind Josh Allen who ended up in Buffalo and is off to a 3-0 start. All Baker has done this year is win the blue ribbon for trash talk without backing it up. He was criticized this week by ex-coach Rex Ryan for his play which would be completely fair for an NFL QB and instead of owning it or taking the high road he shot back with this quote.
“In the wise words of Freddie Kitchens, if you don’t wear orange and brown, you don’t matter,” Mayfield said. “And right now Rex Ryan doesn’t have any colors right now for a reason, so it’s okay”
To me there should be an unwritten rule in the NFL to take criticism lightly and almost never respond back to ex coaches, players, GM’S or owners. It’s a no win situation, they have the TV Show, they have the microphones and they have fans of the game too! Dumb move Baker Mayfield.
I like a cocky, confident, trash talking QB who likes to add a little pressure to Sunday’s game to preform but to throw serious shade at a former successful coach when you get a little criticism which was fair.......is weak sauce.
Your in the pros now kid.....time to start acting like it. If you can’t take a little criticism for your lame duck start, maybe pro football is not for you after all.
