But I feel better knowing that even if Mayfield seems to have great accuracy, he doesn't play like a pocket QB (I've heard some analysis that he breaks his own pocket). And, given that he runs a 4.85 40, he might not be athletic enough to get away from rushers (the way Russell Wilson does). So I'm hoping Mayfield is a dud for the Browns and feel better that maybe he will be, given the above statements.

True, but I've heard analysts state that part of that is due to the mechanics of how he drops back.  Basically they stated there was an easy correction to his footwork dropping back that would put him at the launch point much quicker, thus giving him more time before having to be concerned with the rush.  They basically stated it would be easy to coach it out of him...
