Baker Mayfield Era Begins

Baker Mayfield entered the second quarter after Tyrod left the game to get checked out for a concussion. Mayfield entered the second quarter with one minute and 47 seconds left in the half, he completed three out of his four passes for 47 yards.

Baker kept up the same momentum in the second half. He made completion after completion. Baker threw an amazing pass to Jarvis Landry, that leads to a game-winning touchdown run by Carlos Hyde.

Baker Mayfield finished the game 17 for 23 throwing for 201 yards. He even caught a pass on a 2 pt conversion to tie the game in the fourth quarter,  on the famous play Philly special. Baker leads the Browns to their first win since 12/24/16.

There should be no question who starts next week at QB for the Cleveland Browns! The Cleveland Browns play the Oakland Raiders next Sunday.

Trouble in Pittsburgh

Yesterday, the Steelers finalized Le’Veon Bell will not be playing week 1, against the Cleveland Browns. Although Le’Veon, said in the off-season he will not be playing on the franchise tag again, and if the Steelers offered him another franchise tag contract, he would sit out.

The Steelers must have thought he was bluffing. Le’Veon teammates took to social media yesterday, to show their disapproval of Le’Veon decision.

Maurkice Pouncey stated, “Why play hide and seek? Why let your agent say this? Just man up and tell us what you’re going to do.”

Ramon Foster followed by saying, “He’s making seven times what I make, twice as much as Villanueva is making, and we’re the guys that do it for him.”

It sounds like some hating, is going on in the Steelers Organization. The sad part is both Foster and Pouncey are NFLPA reps. They should be backing their fellow teammate in getting paid, instead of bashing him publicly.

This is why the NBA, will always be light years ahead of the NFL.

The Le’Veon situation shows you the “NFL is a business” only applies to the owner, GM, etc. The moment a player makes a business decision, involving more money in a contract they become greedy and selfish. Seems like a double standard to me.

Le’Veon Bell has rushed for 5,336 yards, ran for 35 touchdowns, caught 2,660 receiving yards, and caught seven touchdowns in five seasons.

Why wouldn’t you want to pay a running back as versatile and healthy as Bell?

Can Dez Bryant be a good fit in Cleveland?

Dez Bryant was released by the Dallas Cowboys this past April.

Surprisingly, Dez is still without a job. He turned down a three year $21 million deal from the Baltimore Ravens.

Now there is a mutual interest between the Cleveland Browns and Dez Bryant.

Dez Bryant met the Cleveland Browns this past Thursday, but no deal was reached.

After the Browns trading Corey Coleman to the Buffalo Bills, and Josh Gordon still dealing with his personal problems. You would think the Browns needed a wide receiver ASAP, but with the emergence of rookie receiver Antonio Callaway, do they really need Dez Bryant?

Dez isn’t what he use to be, but he still can make big plays for the Browns offense. The real problem is can he fit in with the new culture Browns are creating positive energy and hard work no days off unless your leg is falling off as Jarvis Landry said on Hard Knocks.

Dez fits the hard work no days off description, but the positive energy is another story. We have seen his tirades on the sideline in Dallas when he doesn’t get his way. Does John Dorsey, Hue Jackson, Todd Haley really want to deal with that?

If this deal happens the Browns will have one of the best wide receiver cores in the league.

Maybe Jarvis Landry can keep Dez leveled headed, but only time will tell.

If Colin Kaepernick was in the NBA would he be out of a job?

 It's obnoxious that Colin Kaepernick still hasn't been at least invited to a team's training camp, let alone not be a starting quarterback for an NFL team. There are a few teams that desperately need a quarterback the Cleveland Browns, Miami Dolphins, New York Jets, and the Denver Broncos.

Yesterday the Miami Dolphins signed Jay Cutler, to a one year $10 million dollar deal. This is very shocking since Jay Cutler is coming off shoulder surgery. Jay Cutler only threw for 1,059 passing yards, four touchdown passes, four interceptions, and five fumbles in his five games before a season ending shoulder injury. Not to mention, Jay Cutler quarterback rating was 27.9. Some NBA players averaged more points per game than Cutler's QBR. That is flat out horrible; it is no way a retired Quarterback should get picked over Colin Kaepernick. Kaepernick isn't perfect, but he was able to throw for 2,241 passing yards, 16 passing touchdowns, and only four interceptions in twelve games.

The Cleveland Browns desperately need a quarterback; Brock Osweiler is not the answer. He is more inconsistent than the stock market. Osweiler threw 16 interceptions and 15 touchdowns. DeShone Kizer still needs practice and to gain NFL experience before he becomes the starter. Kaepernick would have helped this team tremendously. Plus Hue Jackson loves mobile quarterbacks.

With Ryan Tannehill, having yet another knee injury, the Dolphins were desperate for a quarterback. We all know Jay Cutler wasn't the answer. Their excuse was that Jay Cutler knew the system. The real reason was they didn't want to deal with the  media attention from Kaepernick's social justice stand.

The NFL should be ashamed, that NFL players can hit women, steal merchandise, kill people, and get a fine and a suspension and will be back on the field like nothing happened. But, if a man stands up for something he believes in he gets chastised and blackballed. That says a lot about the NFL thinking; it shows the NFL is still afraid of change.

You the mean to tell the New York Jets didn't need Colin Kaepernick. They rather have Christian Hackenberg over Colin Kaepernick, that's absurd.

The Denver Broncos are a quarter back away from another Super Bowl run; now I'm not saying Kaepernick is a superstar quarterback. But, he would give the Denver Broncos a better shot at a championship run, then Trevor Siemian.

The NBA is light years ahead of the NFL, in regards to letting their players use freedom of speech. We have seen the NBA players wear I can't breathe shirts after Eric Garner lost his life to a police officer choking him. The NFL has yet to do that; the NBA commissioner praises NBA stars for using their platform to speak on something they believe in. The only thing you hear the NFL commissioner, Roger Goodell, talk about is who is fining and suspending.

But ask yourself with the talent Kaepernick has, would he be out of a job if he played in the NBA?
