starts with the quarterback position, where Baker Mayfield, drafted No. 1 overall in the 2018 NFL Draft, is expected to push veteran Tyrod Taylor, who was acquired in an offseason trade with the Bills.

Based on one report out of OTAs, that won't be the case, as Cleveland.com's Dan Labbe wrote from Browns OTAs and minicamp he doesn't see Mayfield as "ready to compete" for the starting job.

It's a small sample size, but Labbe believes the rookie is lagging behind Taylor.

"This is where I tell you that, based on the six practices of OTAs and minicamp that were open to the media, Mayfield, in my opinion, did not look ready to compete with Taylor for the No. 1 quarterback job," Labbe wrote.

Tyrod isn't even bad, especially on a team with speedy receivers.
He can extend the play and that's what Cleveland needs.

i look at their wr corps and think it's the best and msot talented in the NFL

they have a solid RB and Mayfield is supposed to be a good player so idk

Jackson finally has a regime to work with so this year will tell a LOT about the future of the browns

they always seem to screw it up though so i voted lolbrowns


e/ agree w thread though, tyrod should get the nod, kid is a beast

Imo I do think they should be given the reigns right away, however you don’t go and get an established qb in taylor and kick him to the bench immediately

Pretty sure the plan was always to start Tyrod while Mayfield develops.
