Although Baker Mayfield He is not the most popular quarterback of the moment (fights with the press and fans try it), los Browns consider the Oklahoma product to be their best option leading the offensive.
In a press conference Andrew Berry, general manager of Cleveland, reported that if Mayfield is healthy enough to play, Case Keenum has no chance to be a starter for the Browns.
“Baker es nuestro quarterback”, developed according to Cleveland.com. “He’s healthy enough to win games. If he’s ready to play, he’s our starter.”
The questions surrounding Mayfield stem from the multiple injuries plaguing the 26-year-old quarterback. Said ailments They have depleted the QB’s ability to the degree that he is on the way to his worst season as a professional He is 11 touchdowns from his lowest record, 22, and two interceptions from his highest number, eight.
However, Berrry indicated that Mayfield still looks like the future of the Browns And in addition to giving glimpses of talent in 2021, he still has five games to reconcile with the fans.
“I think with Baker, especially in the long term, we think big. We’ve seen Baker make great plays, “he elaborated.” We’ve seen him play well this year. We are excited for what is coming. We hope he will be at his best in the next five weeks. “
Finally, Berry explained that there is no concrete reason for Mayfield’s poor performances, who comes from 247 yards, a touchdown and a rating of 79.4 against the ravens, and noted that the Browns have faced different issues throughout the schedule.
“I don’t think there is a reason”, sentenced. “Honestly, we have had stages with different challenges and problems. I don’t think there is a single answer for that.”
Hope alive?
With a 6-6 record in the season, the Browns still have a good chance of qualifying for the postseason. However, his next five games do not predict good things as his rivals (Raiders, Ravens, Packers, Steelers and Bengals) have a .625 victory percentage.
