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.

When reviewing these numbers, it makes me curious about what approach the Browns are going to take with his long term future in Cleveland. If Baker wants elite money, I'd tell him to take a hike; however, if Baker is willing to sign an extension at a cost lower than Mahomes/Watson type money, the Browns might be smart to do it since they struggle historically to maintain consistency at the QB position in the last decade +.

The Bengals will eventually figure out how to stop Baker so I'd be happy with him being a Brown for a long time.
