Giving Baker an extension isn't crazy as long as the money is reasonable.

The browns might have to extend him (and overpay due to everything) based on the watson situation.

Mayfield was good in 2020--not contending for all-pro or anything but 26 TD to 8 INT is a pretty strong showing. Last year he was just eh but was hurt most of the year. He's not comparable to someone like Sam D'arnold who I think is what everyone is thinking of. D'arnold at his best was never even close to as good as Mayfield at his worst.

Mayfield is a straight up good option for a team like Seattle looking for a QB and maybe even worth extending depending on the price

Gotta disagree, my friend. Mayfield is not a good option for a team like Seattle.

Mayfield had better rbs, pass catchers, and offensive line than he will have in Seattle. Mayfield was in an incredibly QB friendly scheme. It is extremely unlikely that Mayfield will ever have a year as good as his 2020, in Seattle.

Seattle, on the other hand, had trouble winning in the playoffs with an elite franchise quarterback. Why do you think they'd suddenly have better playoff performance with an average qb?

The outcome of Mayfield on the hawks is they get stuck on the mediocrity treadmill of being too good for a high draft pick but too bad to do anything meaningful related to the post season.

He was drafted #1 overall to an 0-16 team and they were 7-8-1 the next season with him starting as a rookie. I'm not a big believer in that sort of tanking.

I don't think Mayfield is as bad of an option as you're saying, he had success even as a rookie going onto a team that was 0-16 the previous year on a franchise with a modern history of pure misery. And they were able to build a team around him. So it's a perfectly fine idea for the Seahawks to give things a try if the price is right.

Just throwing your hands up and being bad doesn't guarantee those higher draft picks will result in a better team, as we've seen for years with many franchises. The Bills got Josh Allen not with the #1 overall but #7. Patrick Mahomes was #10. Lamar Jackson a #32. You can very easily just get stuck in a "dreadmill" as much as a treadmill.

I guess the issue is if Seattle wants to bother trying to compete with the NFCW this upcoming season with the reigning Super Bowl Rams, the frisky 49'ers, and… umm… the Cardinals.

The point is that they had a good team around Mayfield and then built a great team around Mayfield and he was still less productive than elite qbs.

Of course being bad doesn't guarantee that those higher draft picks will pan out. Any draft pick is a gamble. But it's objectively true that generally the better QB prospects go higher than worse QB prospects.

The teams that are consistently at the top of the draft are there because a combination of just awful Coaching/GM and/or no franchise quarterback (also SF had a few years of abysmal injuries). So if Pete and John do get stuck in the "dreadmill" then that indicates that they suck rear end and should be fired.

Mayfield is not going to help Seattle win a superbowl. Heck, he's not even going to help Seattle win the NFC West.

It's not gonna be hard to make the playoffs in the NFC

Outside the Buccaneers / Packers / Rams / NFC East, and I guess you can add the 49ers if you pretend their QB situation is fine.

That's still leaving 2 spots for the Saints, Vikings, Cardinals, and rest of the NFC East to fight over... Not exactly murderer's row and that's even before injuries decapitate anybody.

Baker's situation on the Browns was pretty good but his receiving corps was mediocre. Not many QBs are putting up elite numbers there.

OBJ showed he wasn't nearly as bad as Baker made him look when he got to the Rams. Jarvis was more injured than Baker last year and had been solid previously.

God their injury management last year was loving stupid.

Where would the Browns' receiver room have ranked across NFL? No higher than, like, 20th. Beckham showed he had some value as a solid secondary option in LA, but he's not a top 30 guy and he was supposed to be Baker's WR1. Landry's a great slot guy and People-Jones is a JAG.

Not the worst group by a long shot but it was pretty limited and the Browns had an elite run game. So, you know, would not expect Burrow numbers from anyone in that situation.

He kinda had sameish production by rate stats-wise (possibly a little worse everywhere other than TDs which are admittedly important things), but he did it on a new team immediately with guys he wasn't used to playing with. How much of this is coaching or scheme or QB or whatever is up to debate.

I'm betting on coaching but I'm not going to die on this hill if someone has a better idea.

Mayfield just straight up couldn't throw to OBJ for whatever reason. Stefanski ain't the genius he got billed as in 2020 but I don't think the Mayfield to OBJ lack of connecting is on him. That wasn't strong under Kitchens to begin with.

He's sitting at a year guaranteed and if he plays well sets himself up for 40+ the franchise tag with the market the way it is. There's no logical reason for him to want to sign an extension right now unless he knows he's brain broke.

They're going to give Mills a chance. While Baker's not going to be a top level QB, he does present a threat to snaps for someone they internally might like more

They want to suck for better picks OP
