By ALL accounts, Baker Mayfield is one of the worst quarterbacks in the NFL. Though the media attempted to soften his long stint on the trade block this offseason because of a “shoulder injury”, the truth is that 31 teams were not very interested in acquiring Baker Mayfield despite being a former Heisman winning number one overall pick. The money got in the way too, but eventually the Carolina Panthers—then the NFL’s most desperate team—decided to be the one-of-32 that wanted Baker Mayfield.
Because obviously the Cleveland Browns had also opted for somebody else to start at quarterback.
