In Hue Jackson and John Dorsey’s perfect world, Baker Mayfield would have never seen the field this season for the Cleveland Browns. Dorsey is clearly of the “sit and learn” philosophy on his quarterbacks, as seen in both Patrick Mahomes and Aaron Rodgers. Dorsey had a hand in drafting both, then proceeded to sit both for some amount of time, and they both seem to be pretty well off.
This season, Baker Mayfield was the apple of Dorsey’s quarterback eye. Baker is Dorsey’s Ferrari, and it’s okay to want to keep such a nice car polished and looking good for guests.
