Stafford is under contract for at least 3 more years. This is an audition for Mayfield to land a contract with some other team. There will probably be 8-10 teams looking to improve their QB situation in the offseason whether it be by draft, trade, or free agency. At worst, he proved last night that he's still good enough to collect an NFL paycheck as a veteran backup if he's willing to play that role.Hope the Rams sign Baker to a huge contract.
True, but I have no issue with the penalty being called on the INT other than thinking it should've been holding rather than PI. Don't think the ball was in the air yet when the penalty occurred....aided be a penalty of the interception he threw on the last drive and an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty. Without those, he's the same fourth qtr flop.
Baker helped the Rams accomplish something they were unable to do the previous six games, win!Couple of comments. First of all Baker can be a QB. He has to have good talent around him to succeed. He's not going to lift a team.
Second and more importantly, this is a true example of the fallacy that football is complicated. Baker joined the team Tuesday, and played Thursday. Yes, we are told about mini-camps and OTA's all this preparation, Football isn't that hard folks. Blocking, tackling, passing and catching.
As opposed to all around good guy Deshaun Watson???Wait until his teammates really get to know him.

Per Panthers former teammate Sam Darnold, Mayfield was a class act & great teammate. I have not found anyone from Carolina who had a bad thing to say about Mayfield, including the inter head coach.

Panthers QB Sam Darnold on Baker Mayfield: Nothing but a class act
Panthers QB Sam Darnold had nothing but praise for Baker Mayfield, who was claimed off waivers by the Rams on Tuesday.pantherswire.usatoday.com

The 1999 Browns were an expansion team. Just because Cleveland kept the Browns name does not mean they are the same franchise. But the whole situation is so weird and unique. It’s as though the Browns moved to Baltimore but the Ravens are more regarded as the expansion team.Team has existed since 1946![]()
Cleveland kept the name, history, and colors when the franchise moved to Baltimore. Regardless, the franchise currently in Cleveland has had 23+ seasons to do something and has done nothing except negatively impact the Browns' history. IMHO, it's unfortunate for the players from before the team left town to be linked by name and history to what has been on the field since 1999.The 1999 Browns were an expansion team.

Weird stuff! But hey, it’s Cleveland lol.
Agree 100%. Should have let Art take it all and began with a new franchise, name, colors.Cleveland kept the name, history, and colors when the franchise moved to Baltimore.

And I hope that owner is rotting in HeIIBrowns were expansion yes. But, they retained all pre move franchise stats and records. Baltimore got the existing team and owner, but started new as far as stats
NopeAgree 100%. Should have let Art take it all and began with a new franchise, name, colors.
Not harsh enough.....this seems a bit harsh
