@davidaxelrod Becoming unhinged, trying to stoke division, this time within the Democratic Party. The modus operandi of stupid/low I.Q. ppl is to resort to name-calling, instigation, distraction. Trump must have a few 4th/5th graders as his advisers . . . ??
@MaryKayCabot Mary Kay, are we supposed to just ignore and forget what our eyes tell us? WHO CARES what Staley says? Baker can't hit receivers that are wide open. You said so yourself, so why this flip-flop? Your integrity as a journalist continues its descent
even running INTO the pressure/sacks. your reporting continues to display a remarkable bias; even when Baker is at fault, you put it on other players: Njoku, Wills, OBJ, last 2 r battling significant INJURY! are there colleagues that can proof your stories for bias?
@MaryKayCabot your story re: Jedrick Wills injury/MRI is misleading at best.
You imply that the reason Mayfield is getting sacked so often is b/c of Wills injury. Your reasoning is simplistic, and false. MANY of those sacks are on Baker himself, holding the ball way too long,
guy: personable, funny, etc. But cant mask weaknesses behind great running game, coaching changes, or distracted by the story of the improving Browns defense. there's some laziness there too, Baker needs to be pushed; if starting Keenum were a real option Baker might improve.
@ScottPatsko@MaryKayCabot@dan_labbe@BookofEllis Scott, while on the whole, the coverage/reporting on the Browns is pretty bad (i.e., uncritical/unbalanced, something close to Browns media/PR) kudos on today's piece that finally - FINALLY! - examines Mayfield's talent.
excuse can/should be given for any other starting NFL QB. footwork is addressed in Pop Warner or HS; if footwork is an issue, Baker should not be starting! Herbert, Murray, Burrow, Allen, all drafted after Baker, all much better/higher ceiling than Mayfield. Baker seems like nice
@MaryKayCabot if you are still discussing Baker's footwork at this late date, then this should close off talk about whether the Browns should sign him to a big money contract; also, Baker is responsible for the majority of his sacks, a HUGE red flag. please stop providing excuses
Baker Mayfield as a 2nd/3rd tier QB. stop quoting stats, look at the damn tape! Browns simply CANNOT give Baker big money, this would set the team back several years. dont let ur fandom obscure ur reporting, you arent on Browns payroll . . .
@BookofEllis@MaryKayCabot@dan_labbe umm . . . both of these QBs are far better than Baker Mayfield, FAR BETTER. better vision, smarter, better footwork, faster processing, etc. will be clearly evident when Browns face Chargers on Sunday, then Cardinals. objective reporting has
@ChrisCillizza being "calm" cannot be the correct response to state-sanctioned murder, that occurs over and over again. urge you to read MLK "Letter from B'ham Jail" to better inform your work/writing/life
@ChrisCillizza Dead wrong on this one Chris; you are completely missing the urgency here. A not guilty verdict in THIS case would signal that ppl of color cannot receive justice even in the most blatant cases; accords a 2nd class citizenship, and undermines American democracy itself.
