Skip said today that we should trade for Mayfield and it got me thinking.

I believe Baker is ALOT better than Teddy Bridewater. Tua.... has been prone to get injured.

Let's say Tua is good but misses a few games and Baker looks good in relief, we could then flip him for more picks than we acquired him for.

Or worst case semerio, Tua busts and Baker could potentially save next season. I dont think Tua busts but it is possible.

Before you get angry at me for this idea, this isn't about my lack of faith in Tua, it's about my lack of faith in Bridgewater and buying low on a QB and selling high next year.
 
If there were no personalities involved... yes, I would do something like this, but... human personalities ARE involved and this would likely cause a rift in the locker room. So, no.

I think Mayfield has gotten a bit of a bad rep lately... yet another player who tried to play thru an injury, then got savaged when his play dropped. He's a good reclamation bet, but not for us.
 
Skip made some good points on his show about this topic (shocker right?)

But just look at these QBs that have a starting job....

Mariota
Drew Lock
Daniel Jones
Sam Darnold 😆

These teams are crazy IMO for not getting Mayfield. He may not be a HOFer but Mayfield is far better than those 4 guys.

Of course we should trade for Mayfield, if we are trying to get better at the QB position right away, but we won't because that would only break Tua's confidence once again.

Tua is going to get as little resistance as possible until he shits the bed, at which point we will draft someone else, trade Tua to another team for a 5th round pick, and he will go on to lead that team to a Superbowl. Tis the way of the Miami Dolphins.

I'm surprised the Browns haven't traded him already. Him and Jimmy G

they don't want to give them away but they basically forced their hand and every team knows they HAVE to trade Mayfield and Jimmy G, too much invested in other QB's. So Im sure other teams have low balled them because they know the situation.
 
I agree that Mayfield should be starting somewhere and I wouldn't hate the idea of him playing here if Tua doesn't work out this year. unfortunately we have already signed Teddy B as our backup. Still feel like the Seahawks or Panthers should trade for either Mayfield and Jimmy G.
