Brilliant. I just want to mention how wonderful it is for a Browns fan to see a well-coached team. It is so refreshing.

Baker likes to rollout right and throw the ball up when he gets in trouble. Problem is, everyone else knows it too

[@MrRowgar]

What if he rolls out left 😳

[@Unpackaged_Vinyl]

@@MrRowgar It's probably a designed play and not improvised. Most likely, the flanker on the left side will be working his way to the right on a post. He actually had a completion running that concept with Jarvis Landry.

[@mickthedawg4575]

I'm a huge Borws fan, great break down everything yu stated in the vid is spot on. I contest some of the apprehenshion and a tad late looking stuff are two fold. I believe he has been coached, with this running game, do not take chances, if its not wide open do not throw it. Number two, I think he is still settling into the system. Not sure in his mind he knows what to look for right away after a play fake or turning on a naked boot. I think it will all get better as comfort level gets greater. I hope!

[@ChuckwaldMartin]

he misses wide open people as well, I saw you on Brownie postgame pregame 2 weeks ago though man hope you doing well

[@lotzi1182]

The OC for the Browns said in his introduction press conference that he wanted to work on Baker's footwork this off season b/c it was terrible. It's one of Baker's weaknesses, but the coaching staff are at least aware of it and are making progress with him.

[@Sentient_Blob]

@Joseph R Not what the film says. He’s clearly much more comfortable than he was a year ago, and his problems that developed last year are finally starting to improve. I think the reason his grade declined is because he’s doing much less for the team than past years. He tried to carry the offense the first few years, and now he’s sitting back and acting as a game manager. This might hurt his pff grades, as it probably judges how important you are to the team’s success

[@MyTeamOnly_]

I don’t understand why more teams don’t run a stretch zone bootleg based scheme . Every team that uses it . It works really well . Vikings last year . Browns this year . Arian foster on the Texans .Gary kubiak in Denver as well. It always seems effective if you have a decent running back.

[@Terrencetidbits]

Well considering they’re running something similar to the Vikings offense it makes sense. Kubiak is now in Minnesota but Stefanski was running his stuff basically both then and now

[@BlackMountainCycles]

When your QB isn’t taken seriously by the secondary they start choking up on the run. Once the run is shut down they force baker to throw and boom, he’s exposed.

[@matasuki]

Kareem Hunt is a goon with that TD catch. What a bargain the Browns got.

Looked to me that Baker is having a bit of trouble in the pocket because he is short. On that interception, he was trying to bend around his guard. Then this last throw he was bouncing up to see better. IDK only watched the video once. JT did a nice job in this breakdown here. Wonder what JT's opinion is of Bakers height & how it impacts is in pocket play?

[@nathanielperryii296]

I made a similar comment. I don't think it's his height. It's his ability to read coverages. Goff and Jimmy G both struggle outside of play action.

[@brianjonker510]

[@jake08311]

Until the media 'talking heads' understand Baker Mayfield is NOT a pocket passer. Never comfortable there, probably never will be. Baker turns into gunslinger Joe whenever he is playing from the pocket. His accuracy suffers and, more importantly, his ball placement turns into a mishmash of wtf throws. Baker has improved his footwork and mechanics so well this year because he actually has a coaching staff that knows what they are doing and Baker is listening. Unfortunately Baker has some bad habits that still need to be beat out of him but he is coming along nicely. The one thing that is overlooked by so many because they have no full set of metrics to measure is Baker's intelligence combined with innate leadership abilities. After being totally confused and embarrassed by inept coaching staffs for his first two years under three or four coaches, Baker is now under the tutelage of an intelligent head coach and talented coaching staff. This is an exceptionally talented team that was lacking proper guidance, discipline and teaching. That is in the past. Is it frustrating to watch Baker not be able to play at a high level all four quarters? Sure, but this should be treated like its his rookie year, not his third year in the league. Yeah, my bias shows but I always hope to keep it in perspective. I love watching "gunslinger" Baker but I much prefer controlled, disciplined Baker to win games.

[@mattmorgan4100]

[@ericsnyder5427]

Seems to me that the coaching staff has embraced Bakers athletic qualities and adapted to the teams strengths, which is running the football and using play action accordingly. Kinda like Chicago should have done with Mitch.

[@t4d0W]

Kitchens has done it before but not as consistently as Stefanski who thankfully is a much better offensive playcaller and creative with his personnel groupings. Stefanski at least has short/intermediary targets for the pass catching RBs/TEs to go along with some deep ball targets for OBJ/Landry. Best part is before teams even fear that, Chubb (when healthy) and Hunt are also grinding it on the ground and running through a good O-line. There is a better foundation to how the team attacks match ups while playing to Baker's strength as a game manager with legs.

[@CadChamberlain]

[@ifheavenwashuman]

I like Baker. Been a supporter since his OU days, but when it comes down to it, he is NOT as talented of a QB as his counterparts. (It's evident, and not up for a debate) And that is fine, as long as he keeps winning games!

[@ifheavenwashuman]

@Joseph R This week vs. Pittsburgh will be HUGE for him. The Steelers will commit to stopping the run & Baker will be forced to make big 3rd down throws. Let's see how this turns out.

[@ifheavenwashuman]

@YRG Ace As a supporter of Baker, I agree. But product wise, I'm sceptical. Baker's biggest strength coming out of OU was his accuracy & moxy on third down, he showed flashes of it in his rookie season, but since then he's been shaky consistently & turnover prone which doesn't help. Not to mention the ability to etend plays he's showed at OU is non-existent. He absolutely not outrunning DE's in this league. I do believe in him as a supporter though, it seems like he's building more confidence within his system.

[@MajorFletch]

Fitzception: Am I a joke to you?

[@TheQBSchool]

[@mattl8774]

Does his lack of height lead to a change of trajectory in his passes? It seems like he misses high most often from the pocket. Could also be that he struggles to see.

Also i get they are a run first team now, but in a year that seems like every QB in the league has passed for 300 yards....Baker has still yet to pass for 250 in any game this season and only over 200 in 2 out of 5 games.
