 conversation a talk especially an informal one between two or more people in which news and ideas are exchanged and that is exactly what the Browns apparently had with one Cam Newton a conversation according to Adam Schefter he says that the Browns they they talked to Cam Newton and but obviously nothing came from it because the Patriots were the one that made the move and I know it's gonna be the popular thing right now to say oh well they're looking to move on from Baker Mayfield they're looking for the next quarterback besides Baker Mayfield Baker Mayfield ain't it Baker Mayfield still has plenty of opportunity to prove himself because I know there's a lot of people that think that this is Baker Mayfield's make or break here because he came out as a rookie through a lot of interceptions threw a lot of touchdowns too and then the second year he threw a lot of interceptions and it just hadn't been pretty so everybody's looking at this third year from for this number one overall pick from the Cleveland Browns thinking huh oh Baker could be on a hot seat but I know it's a little too early for that and I'm not saying that Baker is completely safe because we have seen it plenty of times where no player is ever completely safe especially a draft pick because you look at somebody like Josh Rosen with the Cardinals this dude was a high draft pick for them and what they do by you're out shift them on down to Miami and of course I mean you go from Arizona and you come down here to Miami I ain't nobody gonna be complaining but anybody can be moved especially if you're on your rookie deal but I think that this thing was more so just to upgrade to possibly upgrade their backup QB situation because the Browns they have Baker Mayfield he's their starter in their backup I believe is case Keenum so they were probably looking around sniffing around seeing what was out there okay I'm doing okay what's up camp how you feeling man has everything going and there's nothing wrong with that there's nothing wrong with checking around to see what's available there's nothing wrong with really wanting to have the best possible backup that your team can get especially at the quarterback position because you just you never know you never know now something else that this could have possibly been was to put some pressure on Baker Mayfield because we all know that quarterbacks are the most sensitive players in the NFL wider savers are close number two they're very close number two but quarterbacks are the most sensitive players in the NFL so if it comes out that you were talking to Cam Newton and if they had even signed them it could have been they could have been using Cam Newton to sort of put some pressure on Baker Mayfield a this dude was in the Super Bowl before a this dude is a former NFL MVP this guy has done some amazing stuff in this league Baker that's your backup now he's been a start of his entire career from jump from the very first game it was a number one overall pick to just like you step it up tighten up let's fix this let's get it right so this could have just been used as some pressure to be put on Baker Mayfield so he performs better so he takes some extra initiative I know I read the reports that said he's already gonna be getting together with his receivers and stuff if he hasn't done that already which is great and Baker he already got plenty of pressure on him as is because again I think this is his fourth head coach in three years it's pitiful man that is terrible because what he had at Freddy Kitchen they had Hugh Jackson then he had Freddy kitchens then he had Greg Williams no I messed up the order Hugh Jackson Greg Williams Freddy kitchens and now Stefanski so his fourth head coach in three and it's like that math don't even add up it don't even add up that's been one of the Browns biggest problems man they've been could they've been consistent but they've they've had consistent turnover consistent turnover at head coach consistent turnover at the quarterback position it's consistent turnover and it creates consistent chaos and it's just been a mess there for so long and it's like every time you think that the Browns are getting ready to turn it around it just ends up being the whole the whole another cycle again so now with Andrew Barry with them having a new GM with them being under Stefanski now in his system we're gonna see exactly what these Browns do because again all the talent in the world the talent is there it is there there ain't no question about that they got the players they have the players but now it's up to them to put it together can that coaching staff work with those players to get the best possible results out of them and that's exactly like I said earlier that's exactly what I think this move would have been and not even just to move but just the fact that it's out there period the fact that it's even out there that they talked to Cam Newton that could be letting make another hey come on now man we know you don't have some drama in you in your short career you don't have a lot of drama in your short career here with Cleveland but we want better we want better out of you we want to make sure we get the best Baker Mayfield that we can possibly get and because Cleveland Cleveland Brown that the franchise they know how the fans are they're very loyal but they will they will call for change they will call for change and it's gonna be hard for the team if Baker Mayfield is out there struggle if they had signed Cam Newton obviously but if Baker Mayfield is out there struggling they make a Mayfield out there it's looking rough and you got Cam Newton sitting there on the sideline like it'd be one thing if it's if it's Baker Mayfield out there struggling in case Keenum is sitting there and then they know if it's the case Keenum but if it's case Keenum sitting on the sideline then people just gonna be like oh okay oh boy well here we go but if it's Cam Newton sitting on the sideline as your backup quarterback people gonna be calling for him so much man they gonna be calling for Cam Newton so much so this I almost think it's a bittersweet thing for the Browns that this didn't happen I think it's a bittersweet thing I say bitter and they didn't even make an offer so it wasn't anything that they even seriously wanted they just wanted to just cross their eyes no cross their T's and dot their eyes they just want to go through everything they just wanted to do some double-checking a cam how you feeling are you healthy hmm I wonder what it would be like for you to be a Cleveland Brown just conversation whatever none made nothing major none too serious anything like that but I think it's bitter because you could have definitely upgraded your backup QB situation and just in case because you never want to think about the oh if my QB gets hurt oh boy you never want to think about that but at the same time you always want to be prepared you always want to be prepared so just in case if somewhere to happen to Baker Mayfield you got Cam Newton there so it's not like cuz say for instance the Browns on a hot streak things are going good and then boom the quarterback went down and we've seen it happen to so many teams every single year the quarterback goes down and everything goes down the drain but if you got a good backup in place that can literally save your season even if your quarterback isn't even out the entire season if they're only out for a just a few games I mean you look at the Saints with Drew Brees when he had a stomach injury Teddy Bridgewater came in and he did his thing one of all five games and that's why he was the highest paid backup QB in the league last year because they knew he could come in and be in that system and put in work so again that's the bitter part of this whole thing that you could have had a you could have had a backup that's ready that would definitely be ready and that has not and he and somebody that's had experience plenty of experience and he's played in every single type of game he's played in every single type of game so it wouldn't be like the moment would be too big for him because that's one thing that a lot of these franchises can think with their backup quarterbacks like oh man if he has to get into the game I don't know it's gonna be so much freshen and the moment might be too big for him but no Cam Newton's been there done that so that's the bitter part but the sweet part is that you don't have to worry about any QB controversy especially from the fans from the media you don't got to get that extra attention because if they would have got Cam Newton boom story lines right there ESPN NFL Network FS1 all that all day every day up is Cam Newton gonna take over for Baker Mayfield oh well are these two gonna be able to coexist are these two gonna be able to get along it would have been that all day every day so you avoid that you avoid that mess you avoid that circus you avoid all of that stuff and Baker Mayfield knows hey this is my team and he he can rest easy knowing that okay I'm the guy I'm the guy and yeah the backup behind me he's cool whatever I could learn some stuff from whatever but it's my show cuz again quarterbacks are sensitive they're very sensitive but again another sweet part you ain't got to worry about the fans calling for backup like that I mean there may be some fans that actually do call for K screening but for the most part they're gonna ride with Baker Mayfield so anyway I am that was interesting very very interesting at the Browns it talked to Cam Newton but again you know the conversation is and that's exactly what the Browns had with mr. Cameron team keeping clean I appreciate y'all I love y'all and I'm out
