Baker Mayfield is not good. It's not just the injuries this year, either. I don't think I would go as far to say "garbage", but he's really not good considering he's had an amazing run game and a very good offensive line to lean on.

Mayfield is probably categorized, at best, as a game manager QB.
He's never thrown for 4000 yards, nor 30 TDs.
He absolutely needs to be in a running-oriented offense that also has a strong defense.

Mayfield's 5th-year option was picked up, so he's likely a Brown for one more year, but it's leaning toward him not being there after that.
He's been handed a slew of offensive weapons (Chubb, Landry, OBJ, Hooper, Njoku) and a great OL (Wills-Bitonio-Tretter-Teller-Conklin), so there should be no issues with moving down the field and also not turning the ball over.
