Deshaun in 10 games so far
10 games, 165-227(59.6%) 1,939 yards, 11 TD, 8 picks, 82.09 passer rating, 2 fumbles lost
Baker in his final 10 games as a Brown
10 games, 179-305(58.7%) 2075 yards, 15 TD, 11 INT, 80.7 passer rating, 3 fumbles lost
In fact the only difference is their rushing
Deshaun - 51 Rushing attempts, 258 yards rushing 2 TDs
Baker - 22 rushing attempts, 75 yards rushing, 0 rushing TDs
My only point is, they both were playing from adversity (rust/injury) and Baker seemingly has come back to above average mediocrity while the jury is still out on Watson. Relax.
Where’s the additional context, though?
Didn’t Mayfield play through a torn labrum? I know Watson has an injury, but it’s nowhere near what Mayfield played through. Watson is resting due to a sore shoulder… that’s the issue. If they’re “even” statistically, then give me the guy, on a non fully guaranteed deal, who will actually play through some bumps and bruises.
