This past week there has been a fair amount of bellyaching about

the Cleveland Browns’ hotshot rookie quarterback Baker Mayfield.Of course it wasn’t enough that Mayfield had just tossed four touchdown passes (to four different receivers with no INTs) he also apparently needed to pretend that his former (and historically terrible) head coach Hue Jackson didn’t tamp down his development just before going on a scorched-earth media tour which preceded his going to our division rival.Baker was expected to hug it out anyway or else face accusations of immaturity (and worse). I get into all this in the Thursday Ez Does It.Generally speaking I don’t have much care what media types think about our situation Nick Chubb Jersey , but in this instance I’m pretty great with a continuance of the complaining.Baker Mayfield is throwing down one of the most impressive rookie seasons for a QB as has ever been.It’s not just the (off the charts) talent, or even the legendary drive associated with being the only walk-on to (start an FBS opener as a true freshman or) win the Heisman.It’s also his ability to elevate the play of those around him, which seems have started the moment ‘ol Hue was sent packing. However when the media tear into him for his completely logical and understandable reactions Chad Thomas Color Rush Jersey , it only serves to fuel a team already fully bought-in to Mayfield as the unquestioned team leader.It galvanizes a locker room and reinforces the ‘us-vs-the-world’ rallying cry.It’s obnoxiously wrong and lacking in perspective but it helps our cause so I’m great with it continuing.I hope Colin Cowherd keeps pretending he doesn’t see what he’s seeing.In fact his shtick is so worn thin that support has come even from a division rival player (and former Sooner teammate)That Baker got a player from Baltimore to defend him is over the top awesome in it’s own right, and that’s just a footnote in the saga.However it does illustrate how much every teammate he’s ever had absolutely LOVES him.When his current comrades see all this nonsense, ESPECIALLY when they were in that locker room when Hue was running it and thus don’t need anyone to tell them how things were https://www.brownsfanshop.com/Antonio-Callaway-Jersey , it draws the team together even more, and rallies them behind said hotshot rookie quarterback.Speaking of Hue, here’s the story I cite at the beginning of this ‘cast:Hue Jackson’s final meeting with TV crew reveals how broken the Browns were before he got fired (Yahoo)Appreciate feedback in the comments’ section Britton Colquitt Jersey , thanks for listening! Steelers cornerback Joe Haden spent the first seven years of his career with the Browns and he isn’t letting the fact that his former team is in the same division stop him from noting the optimism in Cleveland these days.Haden told TMZ.com that he’s happy for the city and that the fans deserve good things after suffering through many lean years. A big reason for the optimism about the Browns is the arrival of wide receiver Odell Beckham, who Haden says will bring “flash and flair” to the team.Haden also said he’s looking forward to his chance to keep Beckham from making big plays when the Browns and Steelers face off later this year.“I can’t wait,” Haden said. “You gotta go against the best to be the best.”The NFL schedule is usually released in April Tyrod Taylor Jersey , so it shouldn’t be long before we know when Haden and Beckham will be sharing the field come the regular season.
