Baker Mayfield is going to be available... would cost more, but is a much better QB and has much higher upside than Wentz... what he did in Cleveland should win a Nobel Prize or something.

like I said…..haven‘t seen anything that’s happened since the trade that’s “better”. Cost will certainly be interesting for Baker.

soooooo reactionary…..and expected. A good team architect would be so far ahead of these moves you would think. Like WTF are Rivera and Company doing?
I would think Mayfield behind center is a big upgrade over Wentz... of course the cost would factor in but Mayfield would be a potential long term replacement... Wentz seems like he'll be yet another one and done for the Schtwaffles and they'll be looking all over again next year.

If I were betting, I believe Wentz will be here at least 2 years, restructured after next…..they won’t be able to upgrade at QB and will probably not take a QB in the first and will blow it with the eventual guy they pick.
They are the Shitwaffles. They can’t help but screw up the QB position.

They probably did intend to retain Matty I at the combine. Then things changed.
Dave youre my boy but you seem extra cranky re anything Skins right now. Players change minds (JD, Gregory) and teams change minds (Cleveland w Mayfield, Skins w Matty I). Are you upset at Scherff for saying he wants to stay here the past couple years publicly but privately turning down above value offers from us?
Its a business.
His agent went scorned high school teenage girl instead of being business about it.
Why is that? RN Cleveland fans are in tears over Mayfield leaving, while Eagles fans were like "don't let the door hit you in the ass on the way out" to Wentz, and so were the entire Colts coaching staff and FO.
If by "right now" you mean for the last 20 years then yeah, I am cranky LOL
I guess I just really wanted them to be called RedWolves or something HAHA!

Mayfield is a tough guy who plays through injuries like Josh Allen, Burrow, Stafford, and TH. Gritty.
But there is something off in his game and I'm not sure yet what it is. It's kind of a Rex Grossman vibe.
Wentz is closer to Jameis Winston in that he's a bit better at being that gunslinger role, if you're going to grab a guy like that.
There might be a reason CLE shifted from being a shitty run offense to a very run-heavy one the last 2 years.
WRT Wentz not dumping the ball off, he didn't really have to in INDY because Taylor took straight handoffs a lot, at least as the season progressed.

Whether it’s on coaching or Baker that offense wasn’t anywhere near where it should have been. They had two All-Pros on the line, one great every down back in Chubb and another terrific change of pace back in Hunt, two very good TEs in Hopper and Njoku, and a strong enough WR core. They underachieved for years and OBJ goes off the minute he’s in a different system.
Baker is a heart and soul guy which is why everyone loves him but there’s something not right there when it comes to elevating a football team. He’s also more limited physically. At least with Wentz you have some rare physical attributes that allow him to do things and make throws most other QBs can’t make.

Hmmm….leadership shot, interesting. Should be some guys with giant chips on their shoulders next season.

That’s a good way to put it. When they were hot commodities they both got a lot of love from commentators but I had a hard time seeing it. They want to be Brett Favre and there’s no room for it now, the position has evolved

Really torn on Mayfield. He's definitely better than ShitWentz, but sounds like he carries almost as much baggage. And don;t think he'd be a one-year-and-out if it didn't work out, so potential to be a locker room cancer and a cap killer.
And yet, I still kinda' wish we had him to complain about instead of CSW.
Ugh, this ****ing team.

I rarely -- OK, never -- believe in the SW FO, but I have read multiple times in multiple places that they told all their UFAs to test the market and come back and tell us what they were offered.
Sounds like McK signed immediately, the team found out after, made good on its word, and he came back.
I don't give them any flack for this one.
