I'm a former Browns fan that left after the Watson trade, I became a Bucs fan and Bakes followed me there and I couldn't be happier. Cleveland made the trade happen including the media. They made Baker play with a broken shoulder and then called him a bust for playing with it. Browns deserve every bit of ridicule they get.
@@americansaxon2101Still a Browns fan, but he's not wrong. I hate Haslem and what he's done. Hard to support a team with a guy like Watson as your star, knowing how bad his attitude and background is. Browns did the same thing with Hunt. It worked out temporarily for them, but the Chiefs didn't miss a step after releasing him. Karma. But the Browns fans don't deserve this.
@@americansaxon2101 "Fairweather fan" is something you might say to someone who refuses to watch losing games from their team, or switches teams after a bad season or a rough patch. I don't think that applies here. The Browns treatment of Baker, the Watson debacle, and the overall mismanagement of the team by Jimmy Haslam over the years is way too much to ask a fan to deal with. It's a shame because when they hired Kevin Stefansky I thought they had finally stopped being a joke, but I guess Browns gonna Brown.
The Browns had their guy at quarterback, and it STILL WASN’T ENOUGH for them. Cleveland deserves every year without a Lombardi they experience. All Baker needs to do is keep playing well enough to keep making Cleveland eat their hearts right out.
No they didnt. baker was and is a high level backup at best. He had a 54 qbr last year thats mid as hell. Deshaun was on pace to be a historically great player so the browns gamble was justified. Baker is always cute till you run into a team with a real qb. If baker was any good the rams would have kept him as stafford insurance. Sean mcvay passed and i trust him. Deshaun was elite and baker never will be. Bad deshaun damn near has the same win percentage as good baker. Perception is everything.
Mayfield could’ve stayed with the Rams. They wanted him but he wanted to pursue a starting opportunity. He took a gamble on himself for a one year $4m prove it contract with the Bucs and he proved it. Now he’s been resigned as their franchise QB for three years and $100million. The Browns are just an inept organization at every level and this is just another example of them making the wrong evaluations and decisions.
I read the Browns forums the day they signed Watson and it was disgusting how they just threw Baker away like he was trash while praising Watson like the 2nd coming of Christ. They were making fun of Mayfield and calling him this or that. It was the most disgusting thing I have ever seen. This guy gave his all and took that SHIT franchise back to the playoffs. Add on top of that the outright LIES they told about him on the way out to kill his career. I hope the fans never enjoy another win. The NFL should have investigated how they tried to crater his career and intentionally injure him further as well by not only playing him as hurt as he was but calling games with super high throw counts to further damage him and make the fans turn on him more to justify the ridiculous contract they had to pay Watson. I don't care what anyone says - Stefanski and the entire front office of the Cleveland Browns are terrible nasty people. Karma is real and the Browns are just now stepping into those waters. They will pay much more as Baker succeeds more and more.
The Browns front office and staff are absolutely lying, nasty people who more than deserve the worst-case scenario after their slander and abuse of Baker's loyalty. They sent people out to speak to Watson [per Berry's own admission] halfway into the PRIOR season BEFORE the trade [DURING the playoff run!]. The Browns WANTED Baker to fail to justify switching to Watson. Baker didn't "grow up". He just went to a real franchise that prioritizes leadership and winning. And the SJW media hate Baker because of his middle name: Reagan. THAT is why breaking the rookie TD record in fewer games than Manning AND getting a 1-31 franchise to 7 wins somehow failed to garner him ROY. It was ridiculous then and is ridiculous now. Baker's best year leading the Browns to the playoffs was "without" the true Stefanski. The Browns could barely practice with C0v!d lockdowns, so Baker had more ability to steer the offense. Coen is the first Coordinator who realizes the best Baker is the one who can use his processing and have more control in the offense. The TRUE Baker looked like the one against the Commanders: Remember the Bengals game with the Browns where Baker tore it up and barely threw an incompletion after a bad first quarter. Let him sling.
I watched baker on the sidelines and with his teammates on Sunday. I ask the Browns Front Office, that's not the guy you wanted. Hi-fiving teammates, shaking hands, in the line meeting, cheering his team on? In addition to his on the field play. Seemed like a real leader there to me.
As a lifelong Bucs fan, theres something so unique about Baker. It finally feel like we have our QB. As great as Brady was, he didn't feel like the Bucs QB. He felt like a temporary fill in to help us win. But Baker feels like he belongs here. Like he could be here for the next 10 years and finally become the marquee QB you think of when you think of the Bucs. Love Baker, and thank you Browns for royally botching this situation. LETS FREAKING BAKE!
This is exactly how I feel about Baker. He’s more than just another QB coming through Tampa. Jameis was similar he was just too young and needed his eyes fixed to be an all star in the league. I bet he does well in Cleveland once they decide to bench Watson. Look what happened in NO before we injured him.
Best of the week Baker Mayfield, QB - Tampa Bay Buccaneers 24-for-30, 289 yards, 4 TD, 0 INT It’s easy to brush this off by saying “he played the Commanders,” but there’s more to what Mayfield did than meets the eye. Not only did he thrive with a new offensive coordinator, but more importantly he got everyone in the Tampa Bay offense involved. Top receivers Chris Godwin and Mike Evans both got their targets and touchdowns, Rachaad Evans flourished as a dual-threat back. This team just rolled, and Mayfield showed all his best traits in this game as he harnessed his toughness, competitiveness and moxie to make plays and cook the opposition. Worst of the week Deshaun Watson, QB - Cleveland Browns 24-for-45, 169 yds, 1 TD, 2 INT Deshaun Watson is so cooked. Right now he’s playing football like someone who doesn’t want to be on the field, and it shows. His accuracy is all over the map, he makes bad decisions with the ball in his hands, and at no point on Sunday did Watson play like an elite quarterback (which he’s being paid to be). A team can only go as far as their QB allows, and right now Watson is dragging the Browns down with him. AND NOW ANOTHER ACCUSATION HAS BEEN MADE BY A DIFFERENT WOMAN CLAIMING A SEXUAL ATTACK COMMITTED BY WATSON ON A DATE. You just can't make this kind of stuff up.
I thought the Bucs offense with Coen looked better than it did even with Canales. I loved all the pre-snap motion they had involved, and of course it seems anyone that has spent more than 1 hour in the vicinity of Sean McVay turns out to be an elite play caller and schemer. Also his name is Rachaad White lol not Rachaad Evans
Any Bucs fan can tell you that Dave Canales leaving was not a bad thing. He left a ton on the table last season. Liam Coen will be a much better OC. Carolina, pffft, good luck. You’re gonna need it.
Everyone said we were dumb when we said this saints canales made us. But we were the ones watching the games lol. Why everyone always telling the people watching the games what’s they know.
Absolutely, I saw media trying to say "He brought back Baker's career" I watched all season, Baker was great in spite of Canales. Canales was a reason so many were ready to get rid of Bowles but we will see this year. Go Bucs.
As a bucs fan who wanted baker as soon as we knew Tom wasn’t coming back… you can’t have baker back. He’s ours now. Still can’t believe the guy who took the browns from 2 seasons with like 1 win to the playoffs was dropped so easily
dave cannals was a horrible OC. he didnt allow baker to audible out of bad plays. baker said he knew there were dead plays but couldnt change out of them.. you see the difference already how liam cohan trust baker, like sean mccvay does with stafford. baker always had a chip on his shoulder battling through adversity. from texas tech walking on, transferring to OU winning the starting job.. going to the browns where he had a carousal of coaches and OC to deal with... mahomes lamar josh allen none of them had that. they got to develop under one system....baker has always been doubted but happy to see baker keep proving the doubters wrong... Side note todd bowels has said how much he loved bakers game, he wanted to draft him to the jets if he fell to them... kevin staffankski never wanted baker. and car was the only team to trade for him.. baker said hearing sean mccavy saying he wanted baker in La made him happy.. having a coach that wants you changes your whole mindset.. happy he found a home in Tampa...
A lot of what you’re saying is true, what I think w/ Canales was it being a reset. Put the training wheels on him for a minute then let him break out. But the Browns are always a trainwreck. Appreciate the comments!🫡
There was a lot of truth here. Dave Canales was a first time OC last year and it showed. That middle of the season lull was on him. He would continue to try to run the ball untill (go back and look, take away the longest run and the worst run for each game to see how bad they actually were running the ball), they were averaging 1.8 yards a carry). they got way down and then open up and suddenly they would start moving the ball. It's hard to sustain drives needing 3rd and 9 every time. It was not insane that he would interview for a HC job, it is insane that he would be hired and accept! Maybe he'll be a good HC in the future but he is way not ready. I predict that horrible organization will fire him mid season.
Baker succeeded in SPITE of Canales. Coen is smart enough to recognize Baker's quick processing and field IQ. Mayfield's prior coaches cared more for their own egos than winning games.
@@davidwilliams4837 I agree u saw how he thrived in Ou and with Sean mccvay. U see mahomes thriving because Andy Reid understands his QB. Baker had stefanksi who never wanted baker. Now they got waston lol Baker was doing good in Cleveland with Alex van pelt as his oc.. it's funny it's almost like QBs play better when their coaches actually form a game plan around their QBs strengths... Who knew 🤷🏾♂️🤣
The Bucs value integrity. Baker is a good guy. Deshaun is not. If the Bucs could have gotten Deshaun for the veteran minimum I think they would have passed. Plus Baker is a baller. He’s fun to watch.
I'm glad how everything turned out, used to be a browns fan, but it's hard to be a browns fan with a good majority of our fan base is dumb. Most of our fan base wanted this sexual offender that had over 20 cases just because he had top 10 qb seasons. Baker when healthy had seasons that were trending that way and they betrayed him because of a injury. Their office is doomed and there's a reason they had a win less season.
Evans and the gang aint about that predator life. Aint no way anyone catching passes for Watson or protecting him. He getting sacked every play. I can see the Bucs players going 0-17 just to get Watson tf up outta there if their front office were ever insane enough to sign him. Thankfully, the Bucs org is a serious franchise.
Watson isn't a good guy, but Baker was banging every girl who snapped him and letting them s+@$ him off in his car with his wife upstairs when he was in CLE. one of them did a video with receipts on YT. Stefanski should've sat Baker when he was hurt, instead he let him go out and look bad because stefanski won't make hard decisions. Stefanski ruined Baker and now Watson, and cousins has his worst year as a starter under stefanski. Good for Baker, and stefanski did Watson no favors with a new offense and OC and virtually no practices together or preseason. KS sux
he matured before that. also that narrative against baker was never fair.. mahomes showboats on the field like baker, but he doesn't get hate.. no teammates of baker said anything bad about baker.. it was always the media... baker was outspoken about wanting to stay in cle... if any other franchise QB got hurt like baker the team would have sat them.. Cle set themselves back... i don't even feel bad for that team because you had a Qb in years win a playoff game, and they were a 4th down stop from beating KC. you trade him? lol yea Cle is the worst team rn tied with Car and the giants lol
As a lifelong Bucs fan we had to suffer through a lot of losing. Brady helped but I knew he wasn’t a real Buc. Baker embodies Tampa bay and we respect and love him. To browns management all I have to say the grass is not always greener on the other side lol.
@@jayanthsambaraju6562 honestly Baker didn't really do anything stupid, he filmed too much progressive ads but didnt really do anything bad. I'm a Packers fan none of the things he did was worse than our whole sage with Rodgers for 4 years
The Browns really let Flacco walk. They've learned nothing from the Baker experience. The Broncos got it right when they just cut their losses with Russel. Browns could've done the same and have Flacco start, a SB champion and the man who took them to the playoffs last season. The Browns front office should be fired. Fire everyone.
Cleveland should start a -city- Nation wide signature campaign to force the Haslam's to sell the Browns. That's where it all starts, with the *ownership.*
The Browns can't cut their losses with him. That contract makes him uncuttable. His cap hit if cut this year is 172 million and the same if cut in 25! The best bet may be to pick up a good QB and just make him number three and not activate him.
Number of quarterbacks to start for the Browns since 1999: 38 Number of quarterbacks to win a playoff game for the browns: 1 And you probably know who that is 👨🍳
I blame the front office for Cleveland. Smart people who keep making terrible decisions. I have no idea if the Cleveland coaches are any good. We will see how long this season feels in the end.
As a Buc’s fan, I was hoping Watson was coming to Tampa when Brady first retired. That said, there’s a reason Jason Licht and his team has their jobs and I don’t. Staying out of the Watson lottery was smart. And bringing Baker in the following year on a cheap prove-it deal worked for all involved. Hopefully, Baker is slinging it in Tampa for a decade. I feel bad for Browns fans though. They deserve better. That’s a great fan base and they’ve been through hell.
I'm primarily a Cowboys fan (I live in the area don't blame me lol) but I always loved watching Mayfield play in Cleveland the moment he became the starter. Following that, the browns became my secondary team to follow bc he was so fun to watch. He had passion for the game, an energy, and an attitude that just couldn't be matched. I'm so happy for the guy now that he seems to have settled in to a good home in Tampa and always wish the best for him. Side note, you deserve so many more subs man, the video production is stellar!
Thank you for having a quality video production instead of just sitting in front of an unmade bed in your bedroom like all the rest of these lazy channels. Love it!! Bake is way better than most of the QBs in the league and I blame Colin Cowherd for all the slanderous B.S. about Bake.
As a lifetime Browns fan who really thinks. I DIDN'T want Watson. So don't think every Browns "fan" loves gettting perverts! Blame the ownership. I didn't want him. And now I am glad I was right at long last on ALL of this.
As a Falcons fan, I'm still embarrassed that we were the presumptive destination for Watson. Matt Ryan might have been in decline, but he didn't deserve that. I still don't know why Arthur Blank thought "You know who'd be a great replacement for the best quarterback in franchise history? This guy who of his own volition hasn't played in almost 2 years." I'm glad for Baker that he's been able to get healthy, and see further success. I thought it was damn weird that Cleveland just... gave up on him. Over their own idiocy. If they set back, and let him heal up. Yeah, that season probably would have been lost, but the Browns are never in the running for Watson. Browns fans are probably laughing at us for replacing Matt Ryan with DeShaun Watson, especially considering how we even came about getting Matt Ryan.
buc fan since 76 and always pulled for the browns, lions, bengals, cards …. because i wanted these fan bases to enjoy what nobody thought a buc fan would have enjoyed. (twice, now) i’m sad for Cleveland fans but love having Baker here in Tampa!!! as soon as clevelands front office gets their head out of ass, i’ll root for the brownies again
Browns ensure they are ruined for another 8 years just form the horrible contract and money cap/draft picks they traded; what idiots. Imagine if the Browns kept Baker and had 3 1st round picks still and had more money for other players.
I’m watching the NFL less and less every year. This was an awesome detailed account of what exactly happened with Cleveland and Mayfield/Watson. Yeah the business end is just part of being a fan. It’s all the unnecessary dramatics that makes fans straight up apathetic over all of it. With that said, it’s cool we live in an era where we can pull up old games from decades ago and watch those. Highlights or in full. And I’m obviously an old head. Would rather watch Super Bowl and other playoff highlights from the 90s and 00s. I am at a point where I barely even keep up with the standings and tune out until the playoffs. I skipped the wild card games last year. So the natural progression will be skipping the divisional rounds. And it’s the same with all of it. NBA, MLB, NCAA. Anyways that’s my crazy rant on the subject. Great work man. I like your channel.
Mayfield was always the man. Sure, cockiness was abundant, though would you rather have a QB thats covky hot blooded and wants to win so bad that he's a bit crazy? Or, a guy whose so uninspired on the field, that he doesn't have the respect of his teammates. Cleveland Browns management 💩💩 the bed. They let a Top Flight QB go in a shameful way, for a sexual predator ME ME ME QB. Cleveland continues the Factory of Sadness, with a top 5 defense, and a top 10 offense. Thats why the Browns are the Browns
Been a Bucs fan for decades and we felt our best days were behind us when Tom retired. With Baker those fears have been put to rest. I think he's a superbowl caliber QB if he has the right pieces around him... that's how it was with Tom Brady.
Stafanaki's offense rankings 2020-14, 21-20, 22-18, 23-11. He's a below average coach and a mediocre offensive coordinator. He always has a scape goat.
Fact. I don’t get how nobody sees it. Baker got the same criticism, like literally the same. “Can’t see the field, dink and donks, looks indecisive, holds the ball to long” etc etc.. maybe it’s not Watson or Baker. It’s kev crappy pass offense
I just feel sorry for Cleveland fans trying to stay positive year after year - they really haven't caught a break since their team disappeared off to Baltimore.
The guy that they gave his spot to was the best we’ve had since 99 and we never questioned his mental toughness, I always felt like we could win with baker and the D
Agreed. You cant even rebuild. If you think about it, anything less than a super bowl and being a constant in the sb mix is bust for the price they paid. And look at this now. The Browns are getting their comeuppance. They shit on a good qb for a terrible human with what he had hanging over him and now can eat it all the way to the basement.
Browns management made the worst move in NFL history getting rid of Baker. It was unwise but they were swinging for the fences. Haslem has more money than most owners. Baker has one thing no one can take away. He has the strongest arm I’ve ever seen. He never could throw the fade but he has a cannon.
It’s why I never like when scouts or coaches emphasize “athleticism” for quarterbacks. QB is a head game first and foremost. Being quick and elusive is great to have to supplement but you’re supposed to be the brains of the offense. If you can’t make reads or understand the defense you’re playing against, you’re just a running back with a higher pay grade
This trade is the philosophical equivalent of selling your soul to the devil. Unless you were an AFC North Rival, you WANTED the Browns to break the curse. The idea of the Browns being good sounded new and fun. Now I actively cheer for them to lose because of how they did Baker
I'm another former Browns fan now rooting for the Bucs. Now, I understand why they have wasted the talents of so many quarterbacks. You can't tell me one of the quarterbacks prior was not the guy! I get it business, Oh and the wasted pick on Johnny Football! When I was a kid I Looked up to Brian Sipe, Bernie Kosar, I can list them all! So What if Baker was a little immature. He is a winner! Not a RAPIST! To bring Deshone Watson into Cleveland and expect our kids to want to be like him (HELL NO!) He deserves to spend the rest of his life in prison getting messages from Tyrone! I WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER PIECE OF BROWNS MERCHANDISE EVER AGAIN! GO BUCS! BAKER GET YOUR RING AND SHOVE IT IN ODELS FACE AND THE ENTIRE BROWNS ORGANIZATION!
One other main difference nobody seems to understand baker has got forced into shitty situation after shitty situation that people try to blame on him and it's not....dude had to suffer with Romeo Cornell who had a record of 3-33 like 5 different offensive coordinators and 4 head coaches just in Cleveland and still produced a winning season then got lied on by the browns as well as Joe Thomas then got shit on again as they didn't release him properly shipped him off to Carolina that again was a dumpster fire with Matt rhule who had a losing record against team that scored 13 pts or more that was his fault then left for the rams looked good then got lied on again by pushing sean mcvay kicked him off the team which never happened he left because he's a starter in the league went to Tampa and straight to the playoffs..he was never the issue and we can see that now....unless you're just a hater 🤷🏾♂️
Deshaun wants to run empty...can't get past 2nd read, cuz he can't read defenses pre-snap. Baker wants to run empty cuz he CAN read defenses pre-snap and look for his 2nd)3rd read or know where his check down is...then you throw in he has uncanny feeling for the rush.
As much as it sucks to be a Browns fan, the organization 100% deserves this fate. Baker was alienated and lost the locker room, OBJ being a large factor (who ended up leaving to win a SB), and I hope Myles is happy with who he got in return, lol. Clevelands star players' talents are being wasted over Andrews and Jimmys pipe dream that Deshaun would still be "elite."
The Browns locker room has to be so pissed about Watson. They see how he's playing and the fact that the organization is essentially putting his ridiculous contract over winning games. They feel obligated to put him out there even though he sucks ass. Sincerely feel bad for Browns fans and players, they deserve so much better. I'd put in Jameis Winston right away if I was them, he can't be worse than Watson and the team might respect him more.
As a Browns fans, I was disappointed in the team getting rid of Baker in the way we did it. But now Im just disgusted by everything that has happened since. We are going to suffer for a very long time, and it's all our fault. It's gonna be a brutal few years with Deshaun under center. But Im very happy and proud of everything Baker has accomplished since landing in Tampa Bay. He deserves everything he has accomplished so far, and I'm excited to see what more he will accomplish.
Great video I think you nailed it right on the head with this one! As a Bucs fan I'm happy to have Baker as our QB 1, he's a dawg, a leader, and a likeable guy. LFG! Keep up the good work SLANT!
deshaun has looked like trash all 3 seasons in cleveland. Meanwhile baker is leading the nfl in tds and passer rating. Worst trade ever. Berry should be fired for this trade.
It was a stupid trade...so of course the Browns took it. Remember Johnny Manziel,Trent Richardson,Odell Beckman Jr.? All trades that were a disaster for Cleveland,but they never learn.
I don't have a dog in this fight, but the Browns intentionally shafted BM by intentionally trading him so late to Carolina. That was bush-league. I wouldn't be surprised if the Browns try to void Watson's contract due to this latest civil lawsuit in Houston filed this week. They will throw Watson to the street in a heartbeat. Also, this video is dead-on accurate. Well done "The Slant."
Attitude is so important. That browns building could have used bakers energy but Baker wasn’t mature. Who knows that Bakers path would have looked like elsewhere? His attitude would probably be great no matter where he played and THATS how you fucking replace Brady! Be yourself and be positive!
Best thing that happened to Baker Mayfield was that Cleveland media didn’t like him (thank you Cleveland media). Baker Mayfield will take the Buccaneers to the superbowl before his contract is up. Same old browns…
Or else what? They going to cut him and pay out his 100 percent guaranteed contract? WTH were they thinking with that? Was at the Bucs game Sunday and while DC doesn't have much of a secondary, I liked the overall decision making Bake made on Sunday. Can he do that in Detroit next week? Stay tuned...
This was the most predictable thing ever though. I still wonder what bubble of illusion all these Watson fans were in. It was so obvious what was going to happen in Cleveland, the only suprise is how good Baker has been since leaving. And I'm a Baker guy but he's exceeded all expectations even if Cleveland kept him and he played like he has I'd be happy with him over Watson. Just a bad decision.
I remember when my season tickets arrived after the Browns drafted Bernie Kosar. So freaking excited. I saw some historic football games in the old Municipal Stadium. And then? 1995. My last game in person was that final game in the old Municipal Stadium, and I swore that day, I'd never buy tickets for another Browns game. It's funny, cause that translated into barely watching much NFL football after that. I became a "Fantasy Football fan" for a few years, until I quit that too. From 2007 (when I quit Fantasy football) until that fateful Jets game in 2018 I hadn't even watched on TV. One of my friends convinced me to come hang out during the game. I didn't really pay much attention, but that first pass Baker threw? Grabbed me like nothing in the last 2 decades. Yep, I got sucked on to the Mayfield hype train. And now? I'm quick to change and watch the Buccaneers when the Browns are sucking. Happy to see Baker being successful, because the Browns dicked him so bad. Still want the Browns to win. Still havent (and never will) bought another ticket.
The league was fast four and five years ago just like it is now. But as you age you slow down so DeShaun Watson can't run as fast as he used to. He's basically like Colin Kaepernick, when he is Young he can run around and make plays, backyard football. When you get older you can't run as fast then you got to be able to read defenses and throw the ball in the coverages. I don't see this ending well for the Browns or Watson
Barry elevated the Black players. Trashed this particular white player as it was trendy at the time. See OBJ' restructured contract in order to go to the Rams. Opposite with Mayfield. Odd considering Mayfield truly loved Cleveland and OBJ hated it. Then rewarded Watson.
Every Browns fan here will attest that we all knew At. The. Time. that Baker got royally mistreated and screwed. We are thrilled that after a meaningless period of time in limbo at Carolina, he stepped off the plane and won for the 49ers. And that it has only been upward since then with the Bucs. Lifelong Browns fan but fading fast since they did this to Mayfield.
Thank you, good sir! Baker IS HIM. He'll do EVERYTHING for the team he's with, and if youve never had him on your team, you just dont understand. He'll ALWAYS have a home in Oklahoma. BOOMER!!!
The game passed Watson by 2 years ago ! And to get watson you tried to destroy baker we know how that worked out ! Now the team gets hurt for 5 years .
This Man is right in every word he speaks. I have said since last year he-is injured and it’s a-career ending injury also the undermining way Al Learner paved the way for art of to get his ticket out of Cleveland. They have been CURSED Stupidfansky too egotistical to turn offense over to an OC. To make a superbowl run they say you need ownership,Head Coach and Quarterback in line and in sync. The Cleveland 🤡 run by jimmy and dee haslam have a MAJOR DISCONNECT on ALLlevels !!!Total dysfunctional franchise. They haslams should be refunding the fans their money after the slopthey put on the field
I'll be fair to Rapey, and say this... He had very little reps all off season, no preseason action at all, so now he has to play himself into shape during games that count with guys he hasn't played with. He still has arm/shoulder issues, and will turn into Cam Newton 2.0 post injury.
I'm a former Browns fan that left after the Watson trade, I became a Bucs fan and Bakes followed me there and I couldn't be happier. Cleveland made the trade happen including the media. They made Baker play with a broken shoulder and then called him a bust for playing with it. Browns deserve every bit of ridicule they get.
As a browns fan…. This is all accurate.
So a fair weather fan got it...
@@americansaxon2101Still a Browns fan, but he's not wrong. I hate Haslem and what he's done. Hard to support a team with a guy like Watson as your star, knowing how bad his attitude and background is. Browns did the same thing with Hunt. It worked out temporarily for them, but the Chiefs didn't miss a step after releasing him. Karma. But the Browns fans don't deserve this.
@@americansaxon2101 "Fairweather fan" is something you might say to someone who refuses to watch losing games from their team, or switches teams after a bad season or a rough patch. I don't think that applies here. The Browns treatment of Baker, the Watson debacle, and the overall mismanagement of the team by Jimmy Haslam over the years is way too much to ask a fan to deal with.
It's a shame because when they hired Kevin Stefansky I thought they had finally stopped being a joke, but I guess Browns gonna Brown.
Same here
The Browns had their guy at quarterback, and it STILL WASN’T ENOUGH for them. Cleveland deserves every year without a Lombardi they experience. All Baker needs to do is keep playing well enough to keep making Cleveland eat their hearts right out.
No they didnt. baker was and is a high level backup at best. He had a 54 qbr last year thats mid as hell. Deshaun was on pace to be a historically great player so the browns gamble was justified. Baker is always cute till you run into a team with a real qb. If baker was any good the rams would have kept him as stafford insurance. Sean mcvay passed and i trust him. Deshaun was elite and baker never will be. Bad deshaun damn near has the same win percentage as good baker. Perception is everything.
@@lostone9700bro quit capping. Better to be thought a fool than to speak and remove all doubt.
Mayfield could’ve stayed with the Rams. They wanted him but he wanted to pursue a starting opportunity. He took a gamble on himself for a one year $4m prove it contract with the Bucs and he proved it. Now he’s been resigned as their franchise QB for three years and $100million. The Browns are just an inept organization at every level and this is just another example of them making the wrong evaluations and decisions.
They had three losing seasons with baker and have a winning record with deshaun so what do you want them to do
@lostone9700 perception is everything. And when you have your eyes closed you can see whatever you want obviously.
Baker played injured one season and the Browns kicked him to the curb. So the Browns can suck it. Signed ~ OU Lifetime Fan
All the Cleveland BS media never mentioned how Watson QUIT on his team and sat out the 2021 season.
Also, nicely done sir, now subscribed.
I read the Browns forums the day they signed Watson and it was disgusting how they just threw Baker away like he was trash while praising Watson like the 2nd coming of Christ. They were making fun of Mayfield and calling him this or that. It was the most disgusting thing I have ever seen. This guy gave his all and took that SHIT franchise back to the playoffs. Add on top of that the outright LIES they told about him on the way out to kill his career. I hope the fans never enjoy another win. The NFL should have investigated how they tried to crater his career and intentionally injure him further as well by not only playing him as hurt as he was but calling games with super high throw counts to further damage him and make the fans turn on him more to justify the ridiculous contract they had to pay Watson.
I don't care what anyone says - Stefanski and the entire front office of the Cleveland Browns are terrible nasty people. Karma is real and the Browns are just now stepping into those waters. They will pay much more as Baker succeeds more and more.
The Browns front office and staff are absolutely lying, nasty people who more than deserve the worst-case scenario after their slander and abuse of Baker's loyalty. They sent people out to speak to Watson [per Berry's own admission] halfway into the PRIOR season BEFORE the trade [DURING the playoff run!]. The Browns WANTED Baker to fail to justify switching to Watson. Baker didn't "grow up". He just went to a real franchise that prioritizes leadership and winning.
And the SJW media hate Baker because of his middle name: Reagan. THAT is why breaking the rookie TD record in fewer games than Manning AND getting a 1-31 franchise to 7 wins somehow failed to garner him ROY. It was ridiculous then and is ridiculous now.
Baker's best year leading the Browns to the playoffs was "without" the true Stefanski. The Browns could barely practice with C0v!d lockdowns, so Baker had more ability to steer the offense. Coen is the first Coordinator who realizes the best Baker is the one who can use his processing and have more control in the offense. The TRUE Baker looked like the one against the Commanders: Remember the Bengals game with the Browns where Baker tore it up and barely threw an incompletion after a bad first quarter. Let him sling.
I don't care about either of them, but after what they did to Baker, I stopped taking players on my fantasy teams from Cleveland 😂
Boomer!!
They did the same thing to Couch.
@@XxsoonerbornxX I think stefanski is solid but the rest of the organization can suck it lol.
I watched baker on the sidelines and with his teammates on Sunday. I ask the Browns Front Office, that's not the guy you wanted. Hi-fiving teammates, shaking hands, in the line meeting, cheering his team on? In addition to his on the field play. Seemed like a real leader there to me.
@@LanceMan and an adult at the position lolol
@@JermaineATL and Watson is an adult??? Lol you are kidding right?
@@LanceMan I was being facetious lol. That was one of the reasons they said they got rid of Baker lol. Stupidest decision the browns made in a while.
@@JermaineATL sorry...hard to tell on the net...lol I agree it was a terrible decision.
As a lifelong Bucs fan, theres something so unique about Baker. It finally feel like we have our QB. As great as Brady was, he didn't feel like the Bucs QB. He felt like a temporary fill in to help us win. But Baker feels like he belongs here. Like he could be here for the next 10 years and finally become the marquee QB you think of when you think of the Bucs. Love Baker, and thank you Browns for royally botching this situation. LETS FREAKING BAKE!
This is exactly how I feel about Baker. He’s more than just another QB coming through Tampa. Jameis was similar he was just too young and needed his eyes fixed to be an all star in the league. I bet he does well in Cleveland once they decide to bench Watson. Look what happened in NO before we injured him.
Best of the week
Baker Mayfield, QB - Tampa Bay Buccaneers 24-for-30, 289 yards, 4 TD, 0 INT
It’s easy to brush this off by saying “he played the Commanders,” but there’s more to what Mayfield did than meets the eye. Not only did he thrive with a new offensive coordinator, but more importantly he got everyone in the Tampa Bay offense involved.
Top receivers Chris Godwin and Mike Evans both got their targets and touchdowns, Rachaad Evans flourished as a dual-threat back. This team just rolled, and Mayfield showed all his best traits in this game as he harnessed his toughness, competitiveness and moxie to make plays and cook the opposition.
Worst of the week
Deshaun Watson, QB - Cleveland Browns 24-for-45, 169 yds, 1 TD, 2 INT
Deshaun Watson is so cooked. Right now he’s playing football like someone who doesn’t want to be on the field, and it shows. His accuracy is all over the map, he makes bad decisions with the ball in his hands, and at no point on Sunday did Watson play like an elite quarterback (which he’s being paid to be).
A team can only go as far as their QB allows, and right now Watson is dragging the Browns down with him.
AND NOW ANOTHER ACCUSATION HAS BEEN MADE BY A DIFFERENT WOMAN CLAIMING A SEXUAL ATTACK COMMITTED BY WATSON ON A DATE.
You just can't make this kind of stuff up.
I thought the Bucs offense with Coen looked better than it did even with Canales. I loved all the pre-snap motion they had involved, and of course it seems anyone that has spent more than 1 hour in the vicinity of Sean McVay turns out to be an elite play caller and schemer. Also his name is Rachaad White lol not Rachaad Evans
Any Bucs fan can tell you that Dave Canales leaving was not a bad thing. He left a ton on the table last season. Liam Coen will be a much better OC. Carolina, pffft, good luck. You’re gonna need it.
Everyone said we were dumb when we said this saints canales made us. But we were the ones watching the games lol. Why everyone always telling the people watching the games what’s they know.
Absolutely, I saw media trying to say "He brought back Baker's career" I watched all season, Baker was great in spite of Canales. Canales was a reason so many were ready to get rid of Bowles but we will see this year. Go Bucs.
@@slenin8088 like I said it’s almost like we watched the games while the media watched everything but the games
As a bucs fan who wanted baker as soon as we knew Tom wasn’t coming back… you can’t have baker back. He’s ours now. Still can’t believe the guy who took the browns from 2 seasons with like 1 win to the playoffs was dropped so easily
The Browns and their fans deserve this. They had a good QB and were ragging on him when he was injured. Instead, they went for a sexual predator
Yeah most ethical fans gave up on Browns and became Bucs fans
Most Browns fans were NOT in favor of this. At all.
lmao!! traded baker for a squirt boy who wants his booty rubbed down.. satan got to that man
dave cannals was a horrible OC. he didnt allow baker to audible out of bad plays. baker said he knew there were dead plays but couldnt change out of them.. you see the difference already how liam cohan trust baker, like sean mccvay does with stafford. baker always had a chip on his shoulder battling through adversity. from texas tech walking on, transferring to OU winning the starting job.. going to the browns where he had a carousal of coaches and OC to deal with... mahomes lamar josh allen none of them had that. they got to develop under one system....baker has always been doubted but happy to see baker keep proving the doubters wrong...
Side note todd bowels has said how much he loved bakers game, he wanted to draft him to the jets if he fell to them... kevin staffankski never wanted baker. and car was the only team to trade for him.. baker said hearing sean mccavy saying he wanted baker in La made him happy.. having a coach that wants you changes your whole mindset.. happy he found a home in Tampa...
A lot of what you’re saying is true, what I think w/ Canales was it being a reset. Put the training wheels on him for a minute then let him break out. But the Browns are always a trainwreck.
Appreciate the comments!🫡
There was a lot of truth here. Dave Canales was a first time OC last year and it showed. That middle of the season lull was on him. He would continue to try to run the ball untill (go back and look, take away the longest run and the worst run for each game to see how bad they actually were running the ball), they were averaging 1.8 yards a carry). they got way down and then open up and suddenly they would start moving the ball. It's hard to sustain drives needing 3rd and 9 every time. It was not insane that he would interview for a HC job, it is insane that he would be hired and accept! Maybe he'll be a good HC in the future but he is way not ready. I predict that horrible organization will fire him mid season.
Baker succeeded in SPITE of Canales. Coen is smart enough to recognize Baker's quick processing and field IQ. Mayfield's prior coaches cared more for their own egos than winning games.
@@davidwilliams4837 I agree u saw how he thrived in Ou and with Sean mccvay. U see mahomes thriving because Andy Reid understands his QB. Baker had stefanksi who never wanted baker. Now they got waston lol Baker was doing good in Cleveland with Alex van pelt as his oc.. it's funny it's almost like QBs play better when their coaches actually form a game plan around their QBs strengths... Who knew 🤷🏾♂️🤣
The Bucs value integrity. Baker is a good guy. Deshaun is not. If the Bucs could have gotten Deshaun for the veteran minimum I think they would have passed.
Plus Baker is a baller. He’s fun to watch.
There is no question the Buccaneers would NOT have signed Desaun Watson for any price.
I'm glad how everything turned out, used to be a browns fan, but it's hard to be a browns fan with a good majority of our fan base is dumb. Most of our fan base wanted this sexual offender that had over 20 cases just because he had top 10 qb seasons. Baker when healthy had seasons that were trending that way and they betrayed him because of a injury. Their office is doomed and there's a reason they had a win less season.
Evans and the gang aint about that predator life. Aint no way anyone catching passes for Watson or protecting him. He getting sacked every play. I can see the Bucs players going 0-17 just to get Watson tf up outta there if their front office were ever insane enough to sign him. Thankfully, the Bucs org is a serious franchise.
Watson isn't a good guy, but Baker was banging every girl who snapped him and letting them s+@$ him off in his car with his wife upstairs when he was in CLE. one of them did a video with receipts on YT. Stefanski should've sat Baker when he was hurt, instead he let him go out and look bad because stefanski won't make hard decisions. Stefanski ruined Baker and now Watson, and cousins has his worst year as a starter under stefanski. Good for Baker, and stefanski did Watson no favors with a new offense and OC and virtually no practices together or preseason. KS sux
To be fair, the browns franchise has never had integrity
Baker becoming a dad gave him that extra bit of maturity he needed to be complete. He a grown man now.
he matured before that. also that narrative against baker was never fair.. mahomes showboats on the field like baker, but he doesn't get hate.. no teammates of baker said anything bad about baker.. it was always the media... baker was outspoken about wanting to stay in cle... if any other franchise QB got hurt like baker the team would have sat them.. Cle set themselves back... i don't even feel bad for that team because you had a Qb in years win a playoff game, and they were a 4th down stop from beating KC. you trade him? lol yea Cle is the worst team rn tied with Car and the giants lol
No, being in an organization that truly wants him, and playing with guys that won a championship also makes a huge difference.
Agreed! Also having his #1 Offensive tackle and new best friend also having a baby with his wife at the same time!
That's dumb.
@@TheRedStateBlue Elaborate.
#LFB They keep sleeping on Baker and the Bucs
As a lifelong Bucs fan we had to suffer through a lot of losing. Brady helped but I knew he wasn’t a real Buc. Baker embodies Tampa bay and we respect and love him. To browns management all I have to say the grass is not always greener on the other side lol.
How cool would it be if Winston revived his career in Cleveland with Baker doing it in Tampa.
2 number one overall picks who had interception and “maturity issues” reviving their careers on the opposite team? Would def be a great parallel
@@jayanthsambaraju6562 honestly Baker didn't really do anything stupid, he filmed too much progressive ads but didnt really do anything bad. I'm a Packers fan none of the things he did was worse than our whole sage with Rodgers for 4 years
No! Not cool!
That’s probably the story line for this season, AFC vs NFC unless they want mahomes to 3peat
@@CoBeMuaDong4100 I put in quotes cause it was clearly overblown but in college he was fuckin dogged for it
The Browns really let Flacco walk. They've learned nothing from the Baker experience. The Broncos got it right when they just cut their losses with Russel. Browns could've done the same and have Flacco start, a SB champion and the man who took them to the playoffs last season. The Browns front office should be fired. Fire everyone.
Cleveland should start a -city- Nation wide signature campaign to force the Haslam's to sell the Browns. That's where it all starts, with the *ownership.*
The Browns can't cut their losses with him. That contract makes him uncuttable. His cap hit if cut this year is 172 million and the same if cut in 25! The best bet may be to pick up a good QB and just make him number three and not activate him.
@ashharris7293 It would be 172 cut in half.so half this year half next year unless any new cases come up then they can cut him with no money
@@jimbowlan5804 Every lawyer on the Browns team is trying to find ways to use this new case to void the contract no doubt.
tank this year, draft the most ready qb, and this roster is all ready to compete next year with the most expensive backup QB of all time.
Good video. Dead on the truth. Could probably throw some more stats in there. As a Houston fan, it's really funny to see how things turned out
Number of quarterbacks to start for the Browns since 1999: 38
Number of quarterbacks to win a playoff game for the browns: 1
And you probably know who that is 👨🍳
I blame the front office for Cleveland. Smart people who keep making terrible decisions. I have no idea if the Cleveland coaches are any good. We will see how long this season feels in the end.
The ghost of Bearnie Kosar still haunting the place!!
😂😂😂
Nope. Bernie never played in the Browns stadium today.
@@robiechristian5806 also he's still alive lolol
As a Buc’s fan, I was hoping Watson was coming to Tampa when Brady first retired.
That said, there’s a reason Jason Licht and his team has their jobs and I don’t. Staying out of the Watson lottery was smart. And bringing Baker in the following year on a cheap prove-it deal worked for all involved. Hopefully, Baker is slinging it in Tampa for a decade.
I feel bad for Browns fans though. They deserve better. That’s a great fan base and they’ve been through hell.
Baker at 30 mill is a great deal for real, Bucs > everyone
I'm primarily a Cowboys fan (I live in the area don't blame me lol) but I always loved watching Mayfield play in Cleveland the moment he became the starter. Following that, the browns became my secondary team to follow bc he was so fun to watch. He had passion for the game, an energy, and an attitude that just couldn't be matched. I'm so happy for the guy now that he seems to have settled in to a good home in Tampa and always wish the best for him. Side note, you deserve so many more subs man, the video production is stellar!
Baker found a home in Tampa and is playing with confidence.
I'm sensing a Flacco-like comeback for Winston (not Watson) this year.
nah. cleveland needs to trade for kyler murray.
@@runningbeard7380 naw Jamies was trash under Payton. He might be average at best.
It started with OBJ trying to run Baker out of town.
The Browns "wanted an adult in the room". How's that working out for ya?
Adult? Thats a weird way to spell sexual deviant.
Thank you for having a quality video production instead of just sitting in front of an unmade bed in your bedroom like all the rest of these lazy channels. Love it!!
Bake is way better than most of the QBs in the league and I blame Colin Cowherd for all the slanderous B.S. about Bake.
😂 🙏
I live 29 minutes from Cleveland. I wear a Tampa Bay jersey. Screw Cleveland.
As a lifetime Browns fan who really thinks. I DIDN'T want Watson. So don't think every Browns "fan" loves gettting perverts! Blame the ownership. I didn't want him. And now I am glad I was right at long last on ALL of this.
Couldn't agree more. Lifelong browns fan here. Never wanted Watson.
I'm a Bucs fan and I'm super happy we got Baker. He has been great for us so far.
As a Falcons fan, I'm still embarrassed that we were the presumptive destination for Watson. Matt Ryan might have been in decline, but he didn't deserve that. I still don't know why Arthur Blank thought "You know who'd be a great replacement for the best quarterback in franchise history? This guy who of his own volition hasn't played in almost 2 years."
I'm glad for Baker that he's been able to get healthy, and see further success. I thought it was damn weird that Cleveland just... gave up on him. Over their own idiocy. If they set back, and let him heal up. Yeah, that season probably would have been lost, but the Browns are never in the running for Watson. Browns fans are probably laughing at us for replacing Matt Ryan with DeShaun Watson, especially considering how we even came about getting Matt Ryan.
buc fan since 76 and always pulled for the browns, lions, bengals, cards ….
because i wanted these fan bases to enjoy what nobody thought a buc fan would have enjoyed. (twice, now)
i’m sad for Cleveland fans but love having Baker here in Tampa!!!
as soon as clevelands front office gets their head out of ass, i’ll root for the brownies again
Browns ensure they are ruined for another 8 years just form the horrible contract and money cap/draft picks they traded; what idiots. Imagine if the Browns kept Baker and had 3 1st round picks still and had more money for other players.
Yep, the Browns probably would’ve been in the Super Bowl by now. Mayfield likely to take the Bucs to the Super Bowl this year or next.
@@Sportsbob1 Holy freaking cope
I’m watching the NFL less and less every year. This was an awesome detailed account of what exactly happened with Cleveland and Mayfield/Watson. Yeah the business end is just part of being a fan. It’s all the unnecessary dramatics that makes fans straight up apathetic over all of it.
With that said, it’s cool we live in an era where we can pull up old games from decades ago and watch those. Highlights or in full. And I’m obviously an old head. Would rather watch Super Bowl and other playoff highlights from the 90s and 00s. I am at a point where I barely even keep up with the standings and tune out until the playoffs. I skipped the wild card games last year. So the natural progression will be skipping the divisional rounds. And it’s the same with all of it. NBA, MLB, NCAA.
Anyways that’s my crazy rant on the subject. Great work man. I like your channel.
Mayfield was always the man. Sure, cockiness was abundant, though would you rather have a QB thats covky hot blooded and wants to win so bad that he's a bit crazy?
Or, a guy whose so uninspired on the field, that he doesn't have the respect of his teammates.
Cleveland Browns management 💩💩 the bed. They let a Top Flight QB go in a shameful way, for a sexual predator ME ME ME QB.
Cleveland continues the Factory of Sadness, with a top 5 defense, and a top 10 offense.
Thats why the Browns are the Browns
Been a Bucs fan for decades and we felt our best days were behind us when Tom retired. With Baker those fears have been put to rest. I think he's a superbowl caliber QB if he has the right pieces around him... that's how it was with Tom Brady.
Stafanaki's offense rankings 2020-14, 21-20, 22-18, 23-11. He's a below average coach and a mediocre offensive coordinator. He always has a scape goat.
Fact. I don’t get how nobody sees it. Baker got the same criticism, like literally the same. “Can’t see the field, dink and donks, looks indecisive, holds the ball to long” etc etc.. maybe it’s not Watson or Baker. It’s kev crappy pass offense
*Thank you!*
*I've been pointing this out.*
Im so glad Baker GTF outta there. Much respect to the fans, but as an organization, the Browns and the Jets are complete failures
I just feel sorry for Cleveland fans trying to stay positive year after year - they really haven't caught a break since their team disappeared off to Baltimore.
The guy that they gave his spot to was the best we’ve had since 99 and we never questioned his mental toughness, I always felt like we could win with baker and the D
The cap hit is bad, but the loss of draft capital makes it even worse.
Agreed. You cant even rebuild. If you think about it, anything less than a super bowl and being a constant in the sb mix is bust for the price they paid. And look at this now. The Browns are getting their comeuppance. They shit on a good qb for a terrible human with what he had hanging over him and now can eat it all the way to the basement.
Browns management made the worst move in NFL history getting rid of Baker. It was unwise but they were swinging for the fences. Haslem has more money than most owners. Baker has one thing no one can take away. He has the strongest arm I’ve ever seen. He never could throw the fade but he has a cannon.
It’s why I never like when scouts or coaches emphasize “athleticism” for quarterbacks. QB is a head game first and foremost. Being quick and elusive is great to have to supplement but you’re supposed to be the brains of the offense. If you can’t make reads or understand the defense you’re playing against, you’re just a running back with a higher pay grade
True story! Happy Bucs fan here!!
Baker being in Tampa was the perfect marriage. We needed somebody that would lay it on the line.
This trade is the philosophical equivalent of selling your soul to the devil.
Unless you were an AFC North Rival, you WANTED the Browns to break the curse. The idea of the Browns being good sounded new and fun. Now I actively cheer for them to lose because of how they did Baker
I'd say it's worse actually. At least with deals with the devil, there's a short term upside, the Browns didn't even get that.
Watson seems to be playing really tight and nervous like he needs a massage.😂
I'm guessing that Watson's not going to have to worry about that guaranteed contract for long
I'm another former Browns fan now rooting for the Bucs. Now, I understand why they have wasted the talents of so many quarterbacks. You can't tell me one of the quarterbacks prior was not the guy! I get it business, Oh and the wasted pick on Johnny Football! When I was a kid I Looked up to Brian Sipe, Bernie Kosar, I can list them all! So What if Baker was a little immature. He is a winner! Not a RAPIST! To bring Deshone Watson into Cleveland and expect our kids to want to be like him (HELL NO!) He deserves to spend the rest of his life in prison getting messages from Tyrone!
I WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER PIECE OF BROWNS MERCHANDISE EVER AGAIN!
GO BUCS! BAKER GET YOUR RING AND SHOVE IT IN ODELS FACE AND THE ENTIRE BROWNS ORGANIZATION!
It's the Browns doing Browns things. It's worked out really badly...
excellent breakdown of events. Good work man. Shake N BAKE
One other main difference nobody seems to understand baker has got forced into shitty situation after shitty situation that people try to blame on him and it's not....dude had to suffer with Romeo Cornell who had a record of 3-33 like 5 different offensive coordinators and 4 head coaches just in Cleveland and still produced a winning season then got lied on by the browns as well as Joe Thomas then got shit on again as they didn't release him properly shipped him off to Carolina that again was a dumpster fire with Matt rhule who had a losing record against team that scored 13 pts or more that was his fault then left for the rams looked good then got lied on again by pushing sean mcvay kicked him off the team which never happened he left because he's a starter in the league went to Tampa and straight to the playoffs..he was never the issue and we can see that now....unless you're just a hater 🤷🏾♂️
Deshaun wants to run empty...can't get past 2nd read, cuz he can't read defenses pre-snap.
Baker wants to run empty cuz he CAN read defenses pre-snap and look for his 2nd)3rd read or know where his check down is...then you throw in he has uncanny feeling for the rush.
As much as it sucks to be a Browns fan, the organization 100% deserves this fate. Baker was alienated and lost the locker room, OBJ being a large factor (who ended up leaving to win a SB), and I hope Myles is happy with who he got in return, lol. Clevelands star players' talents are being wasted over Andrews and Jimmys pipe dream that Deshaun would still be "elite."
Too bad Jimmy Haslam can’t buy himself a brain. Or integrity. I’m a Baker fan. Now I’m a Bucs fan.
He was being passed around by scrub teams, they didn’t know what to do with him. “Oh, he’s hurt..must be a shit qb.” -Browns front office.
Mayfield played through injuries for the Browns, and the Browns rewarded him by replacing him with a an offender.
As a bucs fan im so happy we got baker. At first i wasn’t on board but quickly was happy with him early last season
The Browns locker room has to be so pissed about Watson. They see how he's playing and the fact that the organization is essentially putting his ridiculous contract over winning games. They feel obligated to put him out there even though he sucks ass. Sincerely feel bad for Browns fans and players, they deserve so much better. I'd put in Jameis Winston right away if I was them, he can't be worse than Watson and the team might respect him more.
Shotgun marriage of Stefanski & Watson courtesy of Jimmuh Hamslam...
Deshaun may be a better person than he is quarterback.
😆
As a Browns fans, I was disappointed in the team getting rid of Baker in the way we did it. But now Im just disgusted by everything that has happened since.
We are going to suffer for a very long time, and it's all our fault. It's gonna be a brutal few years with Deshaun under center.
But Im very happy and proud of everything Baker has accomplished since landing in Tampa Bay. He deserves everything he has accomplished so far, and I'm excited to see what more he will accomplish.
Great video I think you nailed it right on the head with this one! As a Bucs fan I'm happy to have Baker as our QB 1, he's a dawg, a leader, and a likeable guy. LFG! Keep up the good work SLANT!
deshaun has looked like trash all 3 seasons in cleveland. Meanwhile baker is leading the nfl in tds and passer rating. Worst trade ever. Berry should be fired for this trade.
It was a stupid trade...so of course the Browns took it. Remember Johnny Manziel,Trent Richardson,Odell Beckman Jr.? All trades that were a disaster for Cleveland,but they never learn.
I don't have a dog in this fight, but the Browns intentionally shafted BM by intentionally trading him so late to Carolina. That was bush-league. I wouldn't be surprised if the Browns try to void Watson's contract due to this latest civil lawsuit in Houston filed this week. They will throw Watson to the street in a heartbeat. Also, this video is dead-on accurate. Well done "The Slant."
Don’t let the panthers of the hook 😂😂😂 they had baker too!!!
Happy to support you. New subscriber. Keep chasing your dream!
He's a monster. About six teams tried to get him. Colin Kaepernick took a knee for justice. Nobody would touch him. The NFL is effed.
Browns should have believed in Baker. Watson ain’t it.
Great video. So happy I got the recommendation. Keep grinding

Just waiting for Watson's contract to be up so DTR can take over. He'll have plenty of time to learn the system.

This is really spot on analysis.
Attitude is so important. That browns building could have used bakers energy but Baker wasn’t mature. Who knows that Bakers path would have looked like elsewhere? His attitude would probably be great no matter where he played and THATS how you fucking replace Brady! Be yourself and be positive!
As a Texans fan love it.
Best thing that happened to Baker Mayfield was that Cleveland media didn’t like him (thank you Cleveland media). Baker Mayfield will take the Buccaneers to the superbowl before his contract is up. Same old browns…
His black teamates drove him out. OBJ the most to blame. Where's that clown now?!
The Browns brought in Dorsey to take the blame for Stefanski’s play-calling.
Or else what? They going to cut him and pay out his 100 percent guaranteed contract? WTH were they thinking with that? Was at the Bucs game Sunday and while DC doesn't have much of a secondary, I liked the overall decision making Bake made on Sunday. Can he do that in Detroit next week? Stay tuned...
Adversity? Adversity didn't hit DW.. Adversity hit 30+ women because of DW.

the watson trade is looking the worst trade in nfl history.
Well said.
Loved the video, but I'm a Bucs fan so.....go Bucs !!!
This was the most predictable thing ever though. I still wonder what bubble of illusion all these Watson fans were in. It was so obvious what was going to happen in Cleveland, the only suprise is how good Baker has been since leaving. And I'm a Baker guy but he's exceeded all expectations even if Cleveland kept him and he played like he has I'd be happy with him over Watson. Just a bad decision.
I remember when my season tickets arrived after the Browns drafted Bernie Kosar. So freaking excited. I saw some historic football games in the old Municipal Stadium. And then? 1995. My last game in person was that final game in the old Municipal Stadium, and I swore that day, I'd never buy tickets for another Browns game. It's funny, cause that translated into barely watching much NFL football after that. I became a "Fantasy Football fan" for a few years, until I quit that too. From 2007 (when I quit Fantasy football) until that fateful Jets game in 2018 I hadn't even watched on TV. One of my friends convinced me to come hang out during the game. I didn't really pay much attention, but that first pass Baker threw? Grabbed me like nothing in the last 2 decades. Yep, I got sucked on to the Mayfield hype train. And now? I'm quick to change and watch the Buccaneers when the Browns are sucking. Happy to see Baker being successful, because the Browns dicked him so bad. Still want the Browns to win. Still havent (and never will) bought another ticket.
We're going to have to start calling them the skid marks again.
The league was fast four and five years ago just like it is now. But as you age you slow down so DeShaun Watson can't run as fast as he used to. He's basically like Colin Kaepernick, when he is Young he can run around and make plays, backyard football. When you get older you can't run as fast then you got to be able to read defenses and throw the ball in the coverages. I don't see this ending well for the Browns or Watson
Barry elevated the Black players. Trashed this particular white player as it was trendy at the time. See OBJ' restructured contract in order to go to the Rams. Opposite with Mayfield. Odd considering Mayfield truly loved Cleveland and OBJ hated it. Then rewarded Watson.
Every Browns fan here will attest that we all knew At. The. Time. that Baker got royally mistreated and screwed. We are thrilled that after a meaningless period of time in limbo at Carolina, he stepped off the plane and won for the 49ers. And that it has only been upward since then with the Bucs. Lifelong Browns fan but fading fast since they did this to Mayfield.
ok, Rams not 49ers.
Thank you, good sir! Baker IS HIM. He'll do EVERYTHING for the team he's with, and if youve never had him on your team, you just dont understand. He'll ALWAYS have a home in Oklahoma.
BOOMER!!!
He was living off athletic ability.
The game passed Watson by 2 years ago ! And to get watson you tried to destroy baker we know how that worked out ! Now the team gets hurt for 5 years .
This Man is right in every word he speaks. I have said since last year he-is injured and it’s a-career ending injury also the undermining way Al Learner paved the way for art of to get his ticket out of Cleveland. They have been CURSED Stupidfansky too egotistical to turn offense over to an OC. To make a superbowl run they say you need ownership,Head Coach and Quarterback in line and in sync. The Cleveland 🤡 run by jimmy and dee haslam have a MAJOR DISCONNECT on ALLlevels !!!Total dysfunctional franchise. They haslams should be refunding the fans their money after the slopthey put on the field
I'll be fair to Rapey, and say this... He had very little reps all off season, no preseason action at all, so now he has to play himself into shape during games that count with guys he hasn't played with. He still has arm/shoulder issues, and will turn into Cam Newton 2.0 post injury.
“I’ll be fair” and then give him excuse after excuse and then say he will be better with 0 evidence is hilarious
At what point are we allowed to no longer accept rustiness as an excuse and just say that he sucks?
Bro has under 600 subscribers? what...
