When you are as polarizing a player as Cleveland Browns quarterback Baker Mayfield, your career is going to be a roller coaster. In 2018, Mayfield was the darling of the NFL and was touted as being the next big thing. Then 2019 happened.
As quickly as the pundits and talking heads had proclaimed Mayfield an MVP candidate, they then labeled him immature and a flash in the pan. As fickle as fans can be, the media is no different. They are slaves to ratings, and they will treat the players accordingly. Once it became fashionable to bash Mayfield it was open season on the second-year signal-caller.
