I’m not sure Mayfield is. I thought that was a lousy pick at the time - didn’t think he was the best quarterback in the draft. Certainly not worthy of being number one pick. Plus he’s a jerk which at the quarterback position can hurt a team. I root for him to fail.

I've seen enough from the Browns to conclude that if they had a real coach, they would in fact be good.
Freddie Kitchens as HC of the Browns is the 2019 version of Jim Tomsula as HC of the Niners in 2015. The guy is in way over his head. All you need to do is watch the Browns play and you can see how much talent they have, and how poorly they are coached. They would be a much better team with better coaching. Mayfield has regressed substantially, but he has the potential to be a very capable NFL QB, based on his attributes.
Some teams lose games because they have talented coaching but not talented players. Some teams lose games because despite having talented players they lack coaching talent. The Browns are the latter example. The Niners under Shanahan in his first two years were an example of the former.
