FORT WORTH, Texas _ Baker Mayfield has plenty of time to turn everything around, but when I hastily predicted he would be an NFL bust I had no idea he would work just so hard to prove me right.
Thank you for the content, sir, now it's time to grow up. This is neither a plea, nor is this a joke, because this ain't the University of Oklahoma.
My favorite all-time quarterback predictably made a donkey of himself Wednesday during his weekly meeting with the Cleveland media.
Baker grew testy with a fairly benign, standard, blah sports question. It ended with Baker storming off saying, "Was I happy with the drive? No, we didn't score points. That's the dumbest question you could ask."
Baker was immediately compared to Ryan Leaf, who has been a good commentator for ESPN, but is also one of the biggest busts in NFL history.
Baker became aware that the clip went viral, and he followed the lead of our President and took to Twitter to explain himself.
Baker tweeted, "Everybody wants to hear the truth until they actually get it ... . I am who I am and always have been. Don't call it emotional when it's convenient and then passion when it fits. I care about winning, so yeah I'm frustrated. If I was to act like it's okay to lose, then y'all would say that I've gotten complacent.
"My sense of urgency is at an all time high. And if I offend anybody along the way ... that's too bad."
The Browns are playing about as pretty as their color. Despite being a chic pick to make the AFC playoffs, the Browns have Browned it up, due in large part to Mayfield's regression.
The Browns are 2-5, and Mayfield has completed 57.6% of his passes with six touchdowns, and a league "best" 12 interceptions.
Hate to say "Told you so," because never did I think Baker would do a belly flop from 15,000 feet into Lake Eerie like this.
