Colin Cowherd's longstanding beef with Baker Mayfield is apparently not over.
The Fox Sports talk-show host is still not fully sold on the Cleveland Browns quarterback, saying that the expectations that have been levied on the Browns going into 2019 may end up hurting them.
“Baker Mayfield's silliness, not so fun on a two-game losing streak, is it?” said Cowherd on The Herd.
In Cowherd's defense, he mainly focused on Cleveland's schedule for the 2019 campaign, stating that he feels the Browns have a whole lot of tough games on their slate and is not sure how they will handle them, and he does have a point.
After all, Cleveland has proven nothing thus far. It's not like the Browns were world-beaters last year. Sure, they 7-8-1 record was their best finish since winning 10 games all the way back in 2007, but for most of the rest of the NFL, teams don't want to hear about seven-win seasons.
“Cleveland, you're not in a position to just discard teams as Ws,” Cowherd added. “There are no automatic wins for the Cleveland Browns. They do not exist.”
Obviously, the Browns made some major additions this offseason, going out and landing wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. and running back Kareem Hunt to strengthen what was already a nice offense and bringing in linebacker Olivier Vernon and defensive lineman Sheldon Richardson to bolster their offense.
However, Cleveland is not the only club that made improvements this offseason, and, as Cowherd states, the Browns may be about to find that out the hard way as soon as Week 1 when they battle the underrated Tennessee Titans.
