Baker Mayfield is getting an unfair treatment by the Browns

“We want an adult at QB”. Those are the words that made numbers on Twitter on Wednesday, as it became clear that the situation between Baker Mayfield and the Cleveland Browns will probably end up with a split between the two parties, as we know the Browns are actively pursuing Deshaun Watson through a trade.

Mayfield published an open letter to Browns fans on Tuesday night, highlighting his commitment to the franchise and thanking everyone that embraced him and his family – in other words, a farewell letter.

The quarterback who lifted the franchise out of the grave following a 0-16 season is now basically being escorted out of the team following a season where he played with a fractured shoulder for more than half of it. The Browns are being extremely unfair to Mayfield currently – he posted a 22/5 TD/INT ratio before he got injured, and even though last season finished in a bad way, he still had Cleveland fighting for the playoffs until the end.

Baker isn’t an adult… but Deshaun Watson is?

But there’s an even worse thing to be debated: the Browns want ‘an adult’ at quarterback. Ok, fair, I don’t know why they think Baker is not an adult considering how much he puts his life on the line for the team whenever he’s on the field, but whatever.

BUT THEY THINK DESHAUN WATSON IS AN ADULT? The guy with *22* sexual misconduct accusations is an adult? The guy who spent the entire season off the field because he decided he didn’t want to play for his team anymore? Is he an adult and Mayfield isn’t?

The Browns might land Watson. It’s still unclear who he wants to play for in 2022. But whatever happens, they’ve already burned the bridge with Mayfield and I don’t see any way he’s coming back. Let’s just hope Mayfield gets a better treatment wherever he plays next season.
