Brandon Marshall Not a Fan of Baker Mayfield

Baker Mayfield may be the most polarizing player in the league. You either hate him, or love to hate him. Outside of Cleveland Browns fans, there’s not too many people who think Baker Mayfield is elite.  Former NFL wide receiver Brandon Marshall is one of those people who is not very high on the Browns signal caller.

Marshall elaborated on his dislike for Baker on the I Am Athlete podcast.

“I don’t know Baker. I never met Baker. I don’t like his game, I wouldn’t want to play with him,” Marshall said on the “I Am Athlete” podcast, and it didn’t take long for his co-hosts to ask him why. “Until you prove it to me, don’t be doing the talk… these players now, they make with the fame before the game.

“You [are] the quarterback, you [are] the man, like I give that to you. Cool. But right now, until you prove to me that you’re a Pro Bowler, a real Pro Bowler, a real All-Pro player, win a Super bowl or something like that… then I’m [going to] follow you.”

“At the end of the day, I really believe that you’re talking about a Heisman Trophy winner that walked into a building of a 1-31 team and he was used to winning, and so he’s looking at the coach and going ‘wait a minute, what is he bringing to the table?’ ” Jackson said. “He didn’t understand the dynamics of what had happened the two years prior. That’s what I really believe happened.

“Now once all the antics started to happen, I believe that came from a different place. I really do… the gestures toward me. The things that were said. If I remember, he said that I was a phony, and… [I’m] damn sure I’m not a phony.”

Brandon Marshall sounds like one of those receivers who secretly is jealous of the quarterback. Marshall also had issues with Jay Cutler while he was in Chicago. Baker gets enough crap talked about him from the all the talking heads, now add a former receiver to the mix.

Meanwhile all this hate just fuels Baker, and with the Browns sitting at 9-3, maybe it’s time to start pumping the brakes on all the criticism.
