Northern Exposure: Baker's Browns not ready for primetime, but Ravens' Lamar Jackson experience is

The Cleveland Browns may or may not be back, apparently.

The darlings of the offseason, Baker Mayfield's Browns were destroyed by the Tennessee Titans, 43-13, reminding us at the very least that games aren't played on paper and good offenses require good offensive lines.

Mayfield was battered by Cameron Wake and the Titans 'D,' in part because of the pass rush and in part because he was holding onto the football much too long in an abysmal 3-INT performance after the No. 1 overall pick a year ago set the NFL's rookie passing TD record. In his first game with Odell Beckham, the two connected seven times for 71 yards.
