Mayfield doesn't. Mayfield is what people said Mahomes would be. He does lock onto his first read and he will force balls into places he can't get it. He freelances too much and doesn't throw on time. He needs to be 'broken' of some things he did in college to succeed.
Mahomes, OTOH, can take that stuff he did in college and just make it work at this level because he's a clearly superior prospect in literally every conceivable way.
But it's !@#$ing Mayfield who walks around yapping like his shit doesn't stink. I really don't like that guy.

I agree with the all of this except I don't really have a problem with Mayfield. The feeling dangerous comment was obviously done with his tongue in his cheek. And the local reporters ate it up. The Browns need someone like him with a little **** you attitude and swagger.
Yeah, he's probably a little bit of a douche, but I think that's probably being overblown some by the talking heads that never liked him.
And he'll probably become a pretty decent quarterback. Everybody comes up short when compared to Mahomes. We are incredibly lucky to have him. That doesn't mean everyone else is shit. He'll make rookie mistakes and get better unless the Browns totally screw this up.
