The Browns will pay Blake Hance $39,706 for driving from New Jersey, not practice with the team, replace injured third-string guard Michael Dunn, survive 14 snaps against Cam Heyward and become a legend.

It's amazing the Browns and Baker Mayfield went from a record-setting rookie of the year-caliber season then helping a team get its first playoff win in 26 years to a messy divorce in a matter of about, oh, eight months. This level of continued dysfunction is staggering.

It's OK to say Baker Mayfield stunk today. After all, he said the same thing. It's also possible to still believe he's the guy in Cleveland. These two things can both be true.

The Baker Mayfield situation is astonishing. Less than a year ago, he & the Browns were flying high after an impressive season & playoff appearance. He finished that campaign with a top-10 QBR & PFF grade. One injury-filled campaign later & he seemingly holds no value whatsoever.

Blame Baker Mayfield all you want, because the QB wasn't good in the first half. But an opponent going nearly perfect on third down for an entire half (rookie QB behind center) with only two incomplete passes and a 99-yard drive is another level of ineptitude by a defense.

This is what some don't seem to get in the overall conversation. No one is saying Baker Mayfield can't be better. He absolutely can be. He misses some throws and reads. At same time, his supporting cast must be better and help him in key moments. It's not an either/or situation.
