What if the unthinkable happens, and Baker Mayfield of the Cleveland Browns is not available for an extended period of time? Are they toast, or is there a way forward with a backup quarterback?
Currently, Drew Stanton is the number two quarterback, though Garrett Gilbert, the leading quarterback in the ill-fated Alliance of American Football, intends to convince the Browns that he can do a better job. Neither one can remotely be compared to Baker Mayfield, although Gilbert may have some upside potential.
It will be interesting to see how the offense performs with Gilbert under center, and he has a legitimate shot to take Stanton’s job away.
