The guy just can't bring teams back when they need a score. Their most recent game at Arrowhead being the latest example of his (and their) inability to score when the team needed to score. [Reply]

He's 2-19 as a starter when trailing at the half.

Because that team is dependent on the run game. In spite of Baker, their talented WRs, and a solid TE they still can't turn it on when it matters. They need the running game to build a lead. [Reply]

Someone look up Baker Mayfield's record as a start when the other team scores 24 points or more...

Which is exactly why they aren’t Super Bowl contenders.
At some point, you’re going to have a Houston, Tennessee, or SF get a lead on you in the postseason. Your team needs to be able to come back from deficits. It isn’t realistic to always control the pace of the game.
Teams without elite QBs can’t consistently overcome adversity. [Reply]

Not quite Smithian level of horrible. But not good, either.
:-) You beat me to it. But in reality that is bad given the amount of talent on the offensive side of the ball. To think he has more losses when the other team scores over 24 than Mahomes has in three years as a starter. The Browns record last year is slightly inflated by playing the Bengals twice and the terrible NFC East who had zero teams finish with a winning record. They also could not overcome a Henne led Chiefs in the second half of their playoff loss. This team is more hype than substance at this point and Clowney (the Sammy Watkins of defense) won't be what propels them over a team like KC. [Reply]
