In an article on NFL.com Bucky Brooks advocates for Tyrod Taylor starting the entire season over number 1 pick Baker Mayfield. Presumably this means even if the Browns end up out of playoff contention, which they probably will.
Brooks claims that Taylor has been one of the best quarterbacks in the league over the past 3 years. He cites some positives about Taylor but fails to mention that Taylor had only 14 TD passes last year, fewer than 3000 yards and has a history of playing badly against good teams. There are reasons why Buffalo gave up on him.
Mayfield, on the other hand, is a record setting college quarterback, a Heisman trophy winner and the number 1 overall pick in the draft. He was an experienced 5 year senior in college. The Browns obviously should be starting Mayfield as soon as he's ready.
There's a racial angle as to why Brooks wants Taylor to start all year. Brooks is black, Taylor is black and Mayfield is white. Blacks always support other blacks no matter what. Brooks obviously wants Taylor to start the entire year because Taylor is black and Mayfield is white because the move doesn't make much sense from a football perspective.
Blacks always support other blacks no matter what. Whites should start doing the same thing.
