A summary of quarterback comparisons make an easy decision for the Cleveland Browns with the first pick in the 2018 NFL Draft.

In case you haven’t heard, four quarterbacks are in the mix for the Cleveland Browns top selection in the 2018 NFL Draft. It has been a topic of non-stop debate amongst fans, scouts, team personnel, co-workers, siblings, spouses, children and even grandmothers for several months now. If I left anyone out, I do apologize.

Those top-rated passers — Sam Darnold, Josh Rosen, Baker Mayfield and Josh Allen — are practically household names already. Who is best? Who can handle wet and cold weather? Who has the strongest arm? Who wants to throw in the rain? Who doesn’t want to play in Cleveland? Who has been tackled by the police?

On, and on, and on and….okay. Somebody slap me, please! I am almost as tired of hearing it all as I am of watching the Browns lose.

So, let’s sum it all up, throw a brown and orange bow on top, and see who the franchise label goes to. I suppose we should start with Sam Darnold, as he is the one most commonly tied to the top spot. From there, well, you will just have to keep reading.

Sam Darnold: In a word, turnovers. He likes the rain, but has he ever even seen snow? And again, turnovers — and again, turnovers. Was it 22 turnovers, just in 2017? How many games was that? Good thing they got some of those fumbles back or the numbers would look really bad.

Josh Allen: Big cannon, poor aim. He can throw it a country-mile, and complete it half, oh, I’m sorry, 56.2 percent of the time. How many pins and plates are in that collarbone? It broke in how many places? Was that the first time it broke, or the second?

Josh Rosen: Concussions, shoulder surgery. Coach Mora, I don’t want to go there. Tell them Darnold is better. I-Heart-NY.

Baker Mayfield: Protects the ball, most accurate quarterback in college, durable and dependable and wants to play in Cleveland. Are you seeing what I am seeing? Oh, that’s right he is short. Too bad, you have to be tall to be good. You know, like Brock Osweiler and Paxton Lynch.

Everybody knows you cannot be short and be successful, just ask Russell Wilson, standing at 5-11. If you can’t get a hold of him, maybe you should try these guys:

Tyrod Taylor – 6-1

Drew Brees – 6-0

Michael Vick – 6-0

Joe Theismann – 6-0

Doug Flutie – 5-10

Sonny Jurgensen – 5-11

Fran Tarkenton – 6-0

Len Dawson – 6-0

Aaron Rodgers, Dak Prescott, Joe Montana, Steve Young and Brett Favre would tower over Baker Mayfield…by a whopping inch-and-a-half, give or take a hair.

What about the the other issues, you ask? He has an attitude, he might be the next Johnny Flopball. Well, let’s not confuse cocky with spoiled, drunk and abusive. Moving on.

Sure, Mayfield has indeed been arrested. But, he ran from the cops, and they tackled him. Yeah, thats kind of what they do. And your point? My point, is that we all mess up, especially when we’re younger. Stupid decisions are a part of life. You learn from them and move on, or you repeat them again and again. Has Baker Mayfield repeated his escapades?

To sum up, each of the other top quarterback prospects has a significant downside, yet the inch downside of Baker Mayfield is no downside at all. Granted, the junk-grabbing, even if provoked, was uncalled for. Kids are watching man, make a money sign or something. Oh wait, Johnny Manziel straight-up let loose the bird too.

Additionally, take a look at the grades handed down by Pro Football Focus here. It might offer additional clarity if my sarcasm hasn’t rung true. Finally, I think Mayfield should make amends to all Ohioans for that flag-planting shinanagan at Ohio State. My advice is to do so by planting a Cleveland Browns flag in the center of Heinz field!

Baker Mayfield has a fire fueling his core that, yes, can cause some cockiness, but it drives him to win. The Dawg Pound has gone too long without anything in the tank and it is time to fuel up. Vote for Baker!
