Tommy wants to give Johnny Football another chance.
I don't follow college football too closely, so when the Browns drafted Mayfield after the Manziel fiasco, I was not too happy. My brother, however, assured me that Baker Mayfield was the real deal, and that the new Browns GM knew his crap. After watching him play last year, it's hard to argue with him. Mayfield had very good throwing accuracy, and made good judgements on the field. Not a lot of stupid mistakes. And it was impressive to see how natural his leadership was, for such a young kid.
With another receiver, another strong running back, and some improvement on the OL, I'm interested to see what they do this next year.
Another thing about Mayfield, no one has heard a single story about him in the offseason. Maybe he's not hanging out in Cleveland, I have no idea, but he's keeping his nose clean, which is the exact opposite of Manziel. That kid was a train wreck... on and off the field.
