16. Mayfield bounces back with four touchdown passes
After pulling off an impressive win on the road over the Baltimore Ravens in Week 4, the Cleveland Browns looked like a completely different team during Monday’s loss to the San Francisco 49ers.
While the Browns made it seem like they would put up a strong fight against the 49ers, Cleveland clearly has numerous areas in need of improvement, especially when it comes to Baker Mayfield at quarterback.
Between having a solid duo at wide receiver in Odell Beckham Jr. and Jarvis Landry along with a running back on the rise in Nick Chubb, it’s tough to defend Mayfield’s poor play when looking at the weapons the former No. 1 pick has to work with.
More than ever, there’s been plenty of discussion over whether Mayfield is in fact overrated as a quarterback in the NFL, although there’s no reason to hit the panic button just yet.
As frustrating as Mayfield’s play has been at times, the good news for the Browns is there’s still plenty of time to turn things around before it’s too late.
On Sunday, Cleveland faces another difficult challenge with the Seattle Seahawks coming to town, and when looking at how Russell Wilson has been playing on a MVP level, the Browns will need all of the points they can get.
To help silence some of the critics, Mayfield better be prepared to come out firing against Seattle, or the negative talk is only going to continue to increase over the next few weeks.
