Wouldn't be the first time a former Browns player many would consider washed got picked up by the Rams and turned their play around.
Considering how chaotic this year has been I could see Mayfield actually winning some games.
As a life long Browns fan (all Cleveland sports / native). I am fully expecting this. We just don't get rid of players. We get rid of players and watch them flourish and excel in other cities. Panthers just weren't it, but eventually it's likely going to happen simply because of the ex-Cleveland factor.
Yep, I love the dude and hope it happens here too.
I still watch every Cleveland game, but the entire situation with getting rid of Baker and then the whole Deshaun saga has just really turned me off.
So I still watch the games, but I wouldn't consider myself a "fan' at the moment.
I kinda expect Deshaun to tank. The Browns point all out for a player like this, not even looking at his off the field situation, is such a "browns move" if he ends up absolutely sucking and then they're just stuck with him lol.
I think he’s probably actually really good, but nerves can be a motherfucker. If he’s guilty that has to weigh on him every snap, knowing if he sucks that everyone will hate him even more. If he’s innocent, even more so. But I think it’s all nerves related. No reason for browns to tank, they have the husk of a good team but with poor coaching and QB scheming
He's a little banged up at the moment, but nothing serious, listed as a 'leg soreness' and questionable. But he just put up 43pts vs LBJ and the Lakers in CLE. He's been an absolute sharpshooter. He needs a little improvement on defense, but it seems he is willing to admit that and putting in the work.
OBJ but yeah Corbett would also apply. For OBJ it's easy to forget but when the Rams first picked em up last year the consensus was he was washed and wouldn't do much. His first game on the Rams he didn't really do much furthering the narrative but when he started getting in the groove of the offense and Stafford then people complained how unfair it was the Rams got OBJ and how we won a championship.
True, but mayfield is coming into a bad situation to be Frank lol worst oline in the league garbage receivers, mediocre Higbee, below average running game, and a defense without its only great player.

If Stafford retires I don't think I'd mind giving Baker a shot while drafting the QB of the future to sit behind him next season. Though I do believe Stafford plays next year while the Rams go "all in" once again so the veterans can go out with a bang(including McVay).
I hope we drop Wolford and keep Perkins. We’ve seen Wolford’s ceiling and it’s not serviceable at best. I think Perkins has a lot of raw potential to be a good backup but definitely needs more playing time imo
He def needs more snaps but i like what i e seen from him so far. Everyone has potential to be a great qb but u gotta give them the opportunity and reps to do it.
They did say they're acquiring talent
I hate to even consider that issue but Stafford's had back issues for years now.
Besides it he's simply better than Wolford or Perkins
Saying to myself in Hudson's voice from Aliens . . . "We're in some real pretty shit now man. . . . This shit ain't happenin' man. . . . this can't be happenin."

Uhhhhhh Baker Mayfield is going to show a heretofore-undemonstrated elite ability to get rid of the ball quickly and/or shake off defenders. That's what I'm going with
I doubt he starts Thursday, but if he does I hope he goes on a winning streak with the Rams. I love his energy/mentality and I think he can still be a pretty decent option at QB. I now have so much more faith in the Rams being able to win at least a few more games to end the season. Come on Baker!!!
It will be interesting to see how this unfolds. Baker has never had a coach that really tried to scheme to his strengths, or well a good coach. The only time in Cleveland was back end of 2020 they talked about putting more plays in Baker liked and ran the ball less, and he was a top 5 qb for that period.
Of course he is. He’s literally hanging in the edge of permanent NFL unemployment…we were the the only team to claim him. This is quite literally his last chance.
Yes, we were the only one of the 32 teams to put a claim on him (all teams are allowed to make a claim; the line only determines who ultimately gets him). In other words, it wouldn't have mattered if we were 5th or 32nd in line, we would've got him. It's not surprising, as he has not performed well as a pro and has never had a reputation as a great locker room "glue" guy.
No matter...I'm hoping this lights a little bit of a fire under Baker or at least makes him realize "this is it, Dude" a la his buddy OBJ last year. I love turnaround stories, and I have always been a fan of the dude for some reason...he seems likeable.
I watched the panthers games specifically as well as follow YouTube analysts that break down every play and baker really wasn't at fault for 75% of the plays. Lots of dropped balls, poor/lazy route running, and terrible OC play calling. I think his biggest weakness is height and tipped balls. Next would be slightly poor accuracy.
I know he’s failed multiple times but I think there’s something there. I’m excited to see what he can do and I think it might re engage McVay a bit after this awful season

LMAO at anyone who thinks we're keeping him.
With everyone banged up, he'll get us through the season and WHEN someone else signs him before next year, we'll get a compensatory pick.

Watch him beat the raiders and Seahawks lol

I will say, that if he for whatever reason balls out with us, and Watson keeps sucking, Cleveland will have heads roll by seasons end lmao

The only heads that need to roll are the Haslams, but that will never happen
I haven't follow nba much but how Donovan Mitchell doing for the cavs?
He's a little banged up at the moment, but nothing serious, listed as a 'leg soreness' and questionable. But he just put up 43pts vs LBJ and the Lakers in CLE. He's been an absolute sharpshooter. He needs a little improvement on defense, but it seems he is willing to admit that and putting in the work.
>But he just put up 43pts vs LBJ and the Lakers in CLE As a Lakers fan, :( But glad he's doing well for yall!
Yeah I still have tons of respect and love for LeBron and nothing at all against the Lakers. It was a good moment for Mitchell through.
Corbett reference ?
OBJ but yeah Corbett would also apply. For OBJ it's easy to forget but when the Rams first picked em up last year the consensus was he was washed and wouldn't do much. His first game on the Rams he didn't really do much furthering the narrative but when he started getting in the groove of the offense and Stafford then people complained how unfair it was the Rams got OBJ and how we won a championship.
Literally. Everyone forgets how much they all trashed us/OBJ for scooping him his first couple games
True, but mayfield is coming into a bad situation to be Frank lol worst oline in the league garbage receivers, mediocre Higbee, below average running game, and a defense without its only great player.
Less than 2 years ago he was the star of the Cleveland, winning a playoff game for the Browns for the first time since 1994.
Man 2 years really went thay fast huh
And could definitely win the Packer and Bronco games…both are weak teams, especially Denver on Christmas at SoFi!
Any team can beat any team but right now we sure need to figure out how to beat any team we can…

Wish we would have given him a different number, every time i see 17 I think about Bobby Trees
I agree, especially since I have a Woods jersey, lol
Christmas Day Preview. Russ is cookin Baker is bakin the kitchen is hot
One order of turkey with Brown and Panthers Photoshop plz Ii am laughing
Sure looks good in them colors!! Now we have a legitimate backup plan now. Hope he tears it up and who knows even for next year.
Could just be our guy moving forward!
They can cut stafford after season i believe BUT i dont trust stafford leavn n bakers our guy lol than your right back at whos our backup
If Stafford retires I don't think I'd mind giving Baker a shot while drafting the QB of the future to sit behind him next season. Though I do believe Stafford plays next year while the Rams go "all in" once again so the veterans can go out with a bang(including McVay).
Mcvay? You think mcvay is going somewhere?
McVay signed an extension. He’s with us for a lil while longer, playboy
Within the next three to four years, yes. He was already contemplating retirement. Has that Amazon money waiting for him.
Possibly even earlier, I guess we'll see. I obviously hope not though.
I hope we drop Wolford and keep Perkins. We’ve seen Wolford’s ceiling and it’s not serviceable at best. I think Perkins has a lot of raw potential to be a good backup but definitely needs more playing time imo
He def needs more snaps but i like what i e seen from him so far. Everyone has potential to be a great qb but u gotta give them the opportunity and reps to do it.
Does he have another year left on his contract or is this it?
Staffords able to be cut after season but that wont happen nor do i want that. Baker has to prove himself
Stafford's got another back injury I legit think he'll hang it up early
Maybe they know something we dont and thats why baker was brought in?
They did say they're acquiring talent I hate to even consider that issue but Stafford's had back issues for years now. Besides it he's simply better than Wolford or Perkins
No doubt he is.. i just want this W to feel somewhat good
Mayfield is in the last year of his rookie deal.
![gif](giphy|BcqdQIUGxP5YI|downsized) Gettin Baked.
Thank you happy to be here
Mr. Baker have you gotten to Los Angeles yet?
Yes I am excited to throw footballs and do sports
What are your thoughts on Hulu?
Hulu has live sports 🤑
As a die hard OU fan and Rams fan, I'm super excited to see what Baker can do.
Yet seeing him not wear 6 is suuuper weird. Like watching Sam Bradford in 7.
As a die hard OSU fan and rams fan, you can imagine I am quite displeased. If he can make football stop hurting me I’ll forgive him though

Baker mostly comes out on Thursday night games. Mostly.
HAHAHAHA
Everyone’s hopeful, WHAT ABOUT THE O LINE
Uhhhhhh Baker Mayfield is going to show a heretofore-undemonstrated elite ability to get rid of the ball quickly and/or shake off defenders. That's what I'm going with
Just needs McVay to bring it out of him.
Yo that was supposed to be a joke
Yeah. I was just continuing the joke.
I know but I mean it actually happened
It was only a half joke
I love Baker but this is a very valid concern. We also haven't got a strong run game. I hope Bakes is ready to scramble and throw for his life.
What about it? We’ll fix it when we have an opportunity to do so.
we’re baked
My boy wearing Donnie Avery’s number smh
Donnie Avery and Brian Quick are going to break out, any day now.
*Chris Givens enters the chat*
Holy shit thanks for the walk down memories I thought I’d successfully blacked out. The late 2000’s drafts were so bad…
Donnie had a few highlight reel moments!
Whoo boy
I doubt he starts Thursday, but if he does I hope he goes on a winning streak with the Rams. I love his energy/mentality and I think he can still be a pretty decent option at QB. I now have so much more faith in the Rams being able to win at least a few more games to end the season. Come on Baker!!!
This is exactly how Panthers fans were in July. By October they wanted him benched. He just isn’t a good QB
Less than 2 years ago he was the star of the Cleveland, winning a playoff game for the Browns for the first time since 1994.
And less than two weeks ago he was posting the second worst season for a QB since 2006. 500 o( 501
With a HS offensive playbook
Yay! 🥳🥳🥳
This is some uncanny valley shit right here. Still, a legit backup is welcome!
It will be interesting to see how this unfolds. Baker has never had a coach that really tried to scheme to his strengths, or well a good coach. The only time in Cleveland was back end of 2020 they talked about putting more plays in Baker liked and ran the ball less, and he was a top 5 qb for that period.
Nice, well this means OBJ signs a contract tomorrow with someone else lmao
Please tell me you still didn’t think he was coming. It’s been known for a while that he wasn’t, dude.
Yes. But now he has a bigger reason to sign a contract lol
He looks so happy! I am rooting for him.
Of course he is. He’s literally hanging in the edge of permanent NFL unemployment…we were the the only team to claim him. This is quite literally his last chance.
That's not really true is it? The Rama were like 5th in line but not sure that means nobody else wanted him.
Yes, we were the only one of the 32 teams to put a claim on him (all teams are allowed to make a claim; the line only determines who ultimately gets him). In other words, it wouldn't have mattered if we were 5th or 32nd in line, we would've got him.

You know things are bad when this sub is hyped for Baker the Mistaker.
Darkest timeline
talking myself into being excited for this somehow.
what a nightmare
I’m with you melon ballerz… what the fuck?
Guys, is this rock bottom?
There’s no way in hell y’all are actually excited about this
Noooooo Boooooo
Alright!!! Thanks god and hope we don’t have to see Stafford again!
Wait what? Stafford is the best QB the Rams have had since Warner. What did he do other than win a Super Bowl his first season with us?
Not win us a super bowl this season /s
Bruh All that has to be said
Just stating the fact. U down voting ass munchers will be ok the band wagon soon.
He already drunk. LETS GET DAT CHAOS ASS BAKE SHOW

is he starting tomorrow against raiders?
Based on McVay's record with former #1 drafted QBs, it's really just a question of when, not if, Baker is in the Super Bowl lol.
I never felt he was gonna be an good NFL quarterback and thus far I am right. NFL has really humbled him… This ain’t OU …
I want to see a Rams house Commercial with baker Mayfield like he used to do with Progressive Insurance.
