I must have missed it, what was the near mistake?

I admit I haven't been paying 100% attention but haven't seen anything egregiously bad out of him that I hadn't seen with Tyrod.

Threw what should have been a certain pick in the end zone on a double-covered Landry.

But yeah, it wasn't something that would merit the thought of: "Quick, get Tyrod out of the tent and bring him back in the game!"

Yeah, I wasn't making that insinuation, just making an observation.

I like that they're going for 2 let's see what happens.....

WHOA and that's the Browns version of the Philly Special

Re: Week 3 Discussion Thread

It's amazing what just a change at QB can do for a team and their fans. It was like the walking dead in that stadium with Tyrod in there and now it's rocking like a Super Bowl in there.

Re: Week 3 Discussion Thread

Oh he’s definitely going to make some bad mistakes. But him and Darnold seem to have a command of their teams. They look like the real deal.

I just hope for the homeland that Baker actually is the QB god he’s portraying here and not Johnny Football 2.0

One has to hope Allen can be among that group of young talented guys who have command of the offense and respect of his teammates like these guys (and Patrick Mahomes) have right now.

Small sample size, but Mayfield does look pretty good. I don’t see any reason for the Browns to put off starting him any longer. It’s not like this team is going to the playoffs with Tyrod, anyways.
