I'm still in Baker's camp, I'm just not sure he should be playing right now with that shoulder/broken bone.
Odell is a weapon, and I'm positive we're not using him correctly. He's also a dramatic diva with a penchant for shitting on people in indirect ways.
To quote Dom: Eli Manning is the Slingblade of quarterbacks, so that comparison may be a touch harsh.
OBJ to Raiders for a 2nd and 3rd says ESPN.
I think this is a great trade for the Brownies.
What does "We're not using him correctly" even mean? This is one of my favorite NFL hot takes, as if elite players need some special play design to deliver results. Elite players should transcend scheme.
When OBJ was elite, he did it all. Quick slants to the house, 50+ yard bombs, juking defenders out of their cleats, circus catches, etc. Now he's MIA and a shell of himself. That is not a Baker/Stefankski problem.
Holy shit. Yeah, that's a great trade for the Brownies.Quote:

Back to drinking. It was a fake twitter post attributed to Adam Schefter and Sportscenter.
I love this country. Let's all just enjoy Odell in a Brown's jersey, shall we?
Coming off a fucked up shoulder, there's no way it won't fuck your mind up. I was lucky to get 4 hours of sleep a night before surgery, and knowing you're going to get drilled a few times on a Sunday is going to put a huge bug in your head.
This just in:
OBJ shows up at Browns practice facility ready to go today and the team tells him he is dismissed from team activities today.
Somehow I don't think he's on the team by tomorrow.
I’d love to see a fan poll on how the Land feels about that scenario.Quote:

Interested to hear what Kevin Stefanski have to say this afternoon.
ESPN:
BEREA, Ohio -- Odell Beckham Jr. might have played his final game with the Browns, as Beckham's representation is engaged with Cleveland general manager Andrew Berry on the next steps for the wide receiver.
Beckham was told not to attend Wednesday's practice, one day after his father posted comments on social media trashing Browns quarterback Baker Mayfield.
Coach Kevin Stefanski said Wednesday afternoon that he had not spoken to Beckham in the past 24 hours. Asked whether he was preparing to play without Beckham on Sunday against the Cincinnati Bengals or whether Beckham was no longer a member of the team, Stefanski said: "I would just tell you today he is excused and we will see where this goes."
Now he can find another team to be a cancer on.
Baker's post-practice press conference just wrapped up and man was he candid.
This orchestrated passive-aggressive side show (OB Sr, LeBron, leaks to reporters by OBJ) yesterday was a total blindside to everyone in the building.
Baker came off owning his errant throws but also sounding like the big time adult in this conversation, when it comes to focus, working towards winning and the culture they built over the past year.
I hope they pay/release in whatever fashion they have to so that Beckham doesn't see the field again anywhere this year; what a child.
Sounds like they are going to keep him on the roster but excuse him from playing so he doesn't go anywhere else this season! I do have a feeling though that he might end up crashing on Brady's couch for a little bit though as Brady likes to take "great" players under his wing to get another ring....Quote:

I welcome this back wholeheartedly.Quote:

Day 2 - OBJ has been excused from practice.
Welcome to OBJ cut day!
Well, yahoo is saying that they’ve negotiated a reduced payment with him in the event that he clears waivers and will cut him. So I guess you’re right.Quote:

It's not same old Browns, but it's damned close. The fact that we're getting rid of a problem child is a sign of growth.
I think.
This aged well.

Now ESPN is saying he was asking for release before, including earlier this year.
Obviously more to the story than we can see.
Yeah, just read that too.Quote:

What a petulant child.
Tomorrows game will be fascinating.
And potentially drink inducing.
Heh.
The OBJ/Baker memes coming out after yesterday's beatdown have been coming in fast.

No, no he does not.
Over the last 4 games Baker has a passer rating of 113. Yesterday it was 132. 6 tds and 1 int over the last 4. With a broken arm.
Just sayin.
Oh yeah - his rating without Odell in the lineup is now 112. So there's also that.
And either of those numbers, over the full season, would be #1 in the league.
1 step further. If you take his 8 games and throw out the two right after he messed up his shoulder (Bears and Vikings) he's got a passer rating of around 107.5. That would be 5th behind Stafford, Murray, Brady and Prescott.
Shit, let's keep going. For QBs who have played at least 6 games, Baker is 9th right now in passer rating. I did not know that.
And Chubb and Felton test positive for Covid.
So you are saying if you cherry pick his stats vs QBs with full stats he looks pretty good on paper? I think you may have a future in Browns Senior Management!Quote:

Thank you for the kind words.Quote:

The Browns fucking suck. So glad I’m not watching this live.
Just talk to friend in the Bay and CBS already pulled the game.
Pulled it here too.Quote:

Really needed this one out of your boys today. The Pats are not Scottish I’m afraid
