Why the extreme animosity towards Baker, dude? I feel no animosity for Noah Brown or his four touchdowns against us in '16.
Well, the flag planting stunt didn't exactly making him a Buckeye favorite. Big difference there. But, some of us let go of college exploits when it comes to the pros.

Except for scUM kids. Some things are unforgivable.

Baker disagreed so strongly with the second sentence that he planted a flag at midfield. Just like with Johnny Scrambles, it will come down to his play. Execute and his brash style will be adored. Struggle and it will bury him, particularly since he's their first high QB selection in almost 20 years and they passed on the only clear-cut top-5 pick at QB in Darnold (not that he was without flaws).

I frankly don't like how he carries himself, not one bit. As a sooner, I can't imagine that you're exactly proud of his behavior. Imagine that feeling but having zero affinity for the school at which he played.

I'm thrilled that he's going to Cleveland given their history of drafted QBs.

I have zero issue with how Baker has carried himself off the field since being drafted. In all honesty he has been a model rookie since his named was called.

I still doubt he'll find any type of sustained success and we passed on another good QB that went to 'Zona instead. But Mayfield isn't the embarrassment Manziel was.
True...but also...yet...

Let’s see how he handles some adversity, he’s in the franchise honeymoon period right now. He’s been fine, I have nothing against the guy, but he’s also not close to ready to play. This is Taylor’s team, at least for now.

I feel like we've seen this show before with Hoyer and Johnny. Although the latter was clearly going to be a bust from day 1. The thing separating Manziel and Mayfield is the latter has a good work ethic. I'd like to, if at all possible, keep Taylor around beyond this year for a reasonable price. Being that the last 2 times this team sold out for the younger more "promising" QB they fell flat on their face both times. Once in 15' with Foosball, and then this past season with Kizer.

Tired of watching the same movie over and over.

Well, just be thankful you weren't on the wrong end of a 41-3 blowout with Baker grabbing his crotch and yelling "F### you!" at your coaches.

I have a friend who works at fanatics and the #1 selling jersey by a huge margin for all sports is none other than Baker Mayfield's. I guess everybody does not dislike him.
The options are:

#1 pick QB Baker Mayfield
#4 pick CB Denzel Ward
#21 pick OL Billy Price
Buying more Lebron, AJ Green, etc jerseys

Naturally Baker will be a runaway winner in that local race.
