Explain to me the ocean-sized difference between Baker's situation and JimmyG's/Matt Ryan's/whoever-used-to-start-in-DC. How come they can handle it, and Baker can't.
I'm not saying our FO was some high-performing machine in all this, but Baker Mayfield's temper tantrum is just that.
Baker Mayfield has been more consistently ridiculed and abused in the media than any QB I can think of over the last few years.
It was published right after the season that the 49ers intended to trade Garoppolo... our front office insisted that they plan was for Baker to be the starter at the beginning of next season...
But I'm curious, he wrote a very nice "no matter how this works out I want Cleveland to know how much you have meant to me" social media post.
Then it came out that even without Watson the Browns wanted to move away from him because he wasn't "an adult".. so he asked to be traded, Browns said no.... we don't want you but we need to keep you under contract just in case we end up with no other options? Yea, that would have been a GREAT way to go into next season...
I guess I just don't see anything all that irrational about his "temper tantrum"... seems like how almost any competitor would feel under the same circumstances...
