How Baker Mayfield Resurrected His Crazy NFL Career

[@curtisedmonds9933]

Been a Baker fan since the beginning. Cleveland did him dirty as hell and the fact that it hasn't panned out for them means there might just be the tiniest shred of justice in the universe.

I'm a Steelers fan and became a low key Baker fan when he was with the Browns. The move to kick the first QB that was actually decent is such an epitomizing move for the Browns. His first 6 years in the league is pretty much a mirror of what Stafford did with the Lions; I would not be surprised at all if Baker has a good career like Stafford has.

The Browns had their guy, and it STILL wasn’t enough. Add this to the laundry list of reasons the Browns won’t ever win a Lombardi.

[@desylid5915]

Lifelong Browns fan here and LOVED Baker on the team and defended him as QB longer than my friends but I had to finally admit they and the front office were right and Baker had to go. Best way I can explain it is that Baker wasn’t one of the boys with the other players. NONE of them defended his departure. It seems Baker couldn’t get over the excessive chip on his shoulder which limited his play on the field and rather than bonding with his teammates he was busy making commercials in isolation. I hope Baker has learned how to be a better leader and that with this new maturity and leadership he has massive success with the Bucs. But the Browns were in the right and not the villian in this story

[@SilentJay8]

Getting rid of Baker may or may not have been the right call, but Cleveland is very much the villain. Not for who they moved on FROM, but TO. Trading every asset you’ve ever had or will have and giving the largest guaranteed deal in history to a sexual predator that hadn’t thrown a pass in two years is firmly in the villain camp.

Imma disagree with the "most hated team with Brady" because I'm not a Bucs fan by any means, but I'm pretty sure the vast majority of people had come around to Brady by that time and were secretly excited to see the GOAT do what he does. It was very cool (as an NFL fan) to see Brady make a run and win the Superbowl with another team, completely solidifying his GOAT status. Brady was hated, yes. However, he gained everyone's respect towards the end of his career because there was no questions anymore. Brady is and probably will always be THE GOAT.

@@OffensiveFarmer This one always frustrates me as well. Both Allen and Lamar have developed into 2 of the top QBs in the league, but the key word is DEVELOPED. Both had stability in the first 4 or 5 years of their careers. Both still have the Same Head Coach, and both had the same Offensive Coordinator for the first 4/5 years of their player careers. By the time Lamar and Allen were onto their 2nd OCs, Baker was onto his 7th. Baker has also had 7 different Head Coaches and 2 Interims at Cleveland and Carolina. Buffalo had found its feet a couple seasons before Allen was Drafted, and Baltimore which has been on of the most consistently good teams in the league for over 2 decades. Baker has had to play for Cleveland, Carolina, a short stint in LA, and now Tampa. Name me one player that could suffer through all this stuff and come out the other end not only still a stable no. 1 QB for a team but also manage to have a couple playoff wins under his belt and a new contract under his name, and that players name will be Baker freaking Mayfield. Lamar would probably still be in the league but would not be reaching the statistical heights he has, at best he'd be RGIII 2.0. Allen would be out of the league by now because he wouldn't have had both a HC and OC that would've given him time to develop and kick his nasty Interception kick, or Allen would at best be another Sam Darnold but more athletic and a perennial backup.

[@rickyism1576]

Baker made the browns look good for a moment there, and that's nearly impossible to do. He was never a bad QB, just a victim of his surroundings.

[@xStrypes]

You gotta love Baker, dude has heart and is a tough mf

[@tylerswiger357]

Thank you sm for this video. I've been telling people this for years. I am now an ex browns fan because of this. But you better believe I have a Mayfield Bucs jersey and rooted for him as he outperformed the Browns in the playoffs.

[@gabe9125]

Baker's not a bad QB, he was just drafted by the Browns. That's never worked out well for anybody.

[@austinsmith7731]

Been a Baker stan ever since he had that game in LA. Love his tenasity and those 'Baker at Home' commercials

[@Juzreg]

Honestly, it’s karma for how the Browns are failing with Watson and how Baker just got a massive extension

[@SouthernArtist-gi8gr]

Panthers fan here… I’m really glad Baker played for us. I just feel bad that he didn’t have a lot of support within the fan base and that the organization was/is in disarray overall, especially in ownership Thanks Baker Also thanks to Perna for giving Baker his due respect

[@beaksters]

Fine i’ll admit it, as a Browns fan i’ll admit I miss the Baker ads. We fucked him over and we know it, the Deshaun trade has been nothing but a mess so far and a lot of us called it.

[@ashthememelord]

I would give anything to see this man win SB MVP. So underrated.

[@jaalsburg]

As a Lion lifer it has been pretty good for resurection QB's lately.

[@sewnaowa]

Spectacular video. Definitely rewatching and sharing

[@cy4330]

Baker said that himself. The Rams have given back his passion in football. He would be forever grateful to his opportunity with the Rams. We also thank him for a memorable Christmas game. Happy for Baker. The Buccaneers got a workhorse.

[@snowless456]

I always have had a soft spot for baker, sure he has his problems, but he’s nowhere near as problematic as a lot of other players

[@edwardoorjitham7714]

Have followed Baker since his Oklahoma days and so glad that you made great vid. Thank you!! Hopefully he leads the Bucs to the SB!! Go Bucs!!

And killing it so far this season

[@Pimula.Tsuchimi]

Baker was robbed comeback player of the year. The only thing Flacco did was throw short passes to tight end for 5 games.

[@jahsoul357]

Joe Flacco's completed air yards per completion was nearly 2 yards higher than Baker's. If all Flacco did was throw show passes to tight ends, Baker was throwing even shorter passes..lol

[@St.Maliki]

Huh? He was a bit of a gunslinger in those games. Big plays down field and a lot of interception. You can disagree he didn't deserve the award but it's just wrong to say he was dinking and dunking

[@jahsoul357]

@@St.Maliki Exactly. Flacco was doing everything but dinking and dunking.

[@BobMossNanoTanks]

I hope Baker wins multiple rings with the Buccs and the Browns continue to be the Browns forever, never sniffing the Superbowl.

[@jonaswaltman7359]

Man Brandon, I was there that night and watched as Baker gets tackled into a solid wall by Fayetteville Police Officers right off Dickson Street. This is Hog country. They don't like Oklahoma Sooners either. Lmfao

[@saulspeaks2557]

You called it "Dickinson" street, so I call bullshit.

[@jonaswaltman7359]

@saulspeaks2557 it's called West Dickson Street. It's a bunch of different bars up and down it with studio apartments. Call what you want to call it. Don't be mad. That I punished your mother over your bullshit.

[@SteveNeuge]

At the time Baker’s maturity was a serious talking point. He was considered a polarizing locker room presence, and there were concerns about what free agents would want to come to Cleveland after the OBJ drama and the injury season. As a Browns fan, I’m really glad that he is doing well.

[@camronk1356]

This is one of the best football videos I've ever watched in my 31 year old life. This rocked.

[@Sky_Blaze]

I feel I was the only person who supported Baker after his Panthers stint. Any QB that can take the Browns to win a playoff game has to have talent. So when I heard he signed with the Bucs I stood up and said "thats the perfect place" my cousin who's a Bucs fan didnt even believe in Baker but I told him Baker will take them to atleast a wild card.

[@Phuzzi]

As a Browns fan, I am glad he found a home that appreciates him. Always like Baker, but never thought Cleveland was the right spot.

[@cinimatics]

The way he got treated is why there's so many Tampa fans in Cleveland now. Myself included.

[@osbaldoespinoza9779]

This was elite. Fav part was the they not like us snippet. Comedy perfection.

[@houseofroos]

Awesome vid Brandon!

[@iananderson6591]

As a lifelong wyomingite and fan of Wyoming alums like Josh Allen and Logan Wilson I must say, keep up the good work

[@mattchew6426]

I like Baker in Tampa. He's a good fit for a franchise that has always had trouble with finding a stable player at the position.

[@johnmcnamara8741]

We love him in Tampa. Thank you Cleveland

[@drakevick1646]

12:50 I was at that game. On Christmas morning. With my Ram-fan parents. Best game ever

[@speakeasyedc2528]

I had been a lifelong Browns fan. A lot of people loved Baker here, but people in Cleveland are never happy, even when they have something good. When they did that to Baker after all he had done for the city and the organization I was done until Watson is gone. From how it looks that won't be long. Congrats Baker, you deserve this, you have worked your ass off for it.

[@saulspeaks2557]

There were a few of you around, but most Browns fans were applauding the move. You went from the franchise that the WHOLE NFL quietly pulled for, to the franchise that everyone is rooting against - as if you'd actually won anything 😂

[@speakeasyedc2528]

@saulspeaks2557 Yes, Watson has brought a great culture here, so much to be proud of now, like the worst trade in NFL history, they are very proud of that.

[@bronstet]

Good video. It is very nice to see Mayfield's redemption story play out in real time. He’s gone from a talented meathead QB to a talented mature QB fulfilling his potential as an athlete and a person. What's not to love about his feel good story? Hopefully he stays on the right track and keeps growing and getting better.

[@jfridy]

Jackson did more than that as Browns coach! He lost every game that season, then only won 1 more in the next half season before they finally fired him. His replacement won over half the games in the remaining season, and was immediately let go, because a Defensive Coach wasn't the direction the Browns were looking for a coach?!

[@ryanlaybourn]

I really like Baker, imagine if the stars aligned way back when Russel was traded to us and we got Baker instead? He would of likely found his team with us. I hope he finds success in Tampa, that guy has fought and really deserves it.

[@c-bass413]

Will never forget that Broncos game with commentary by Patrick Star.....hilarious.

[@pandaplayr73]

As much as I hate OU, I'm so glad to see Baker doing well. So many thought he'd be the next Johnny Manziel, but he's got a lot of heart and I'll forever respect him. (Still an OU hater though)

[@theoneandonlymasterjosh2912]

16:55 oddly enough that actually works out for him considering he already worked with Liam back when was the backup for the rams during the 57 season
