The Cleveland Browns front office and coaching staff have been adamant that Tyrod Taylor will be the starting quarterback for the 2018 season. By doing this, the organization is trying to not rush Baker Mayfield onto the field until he is absolutely ready to play.
The hope is that Mayfield will understand most of the dynamics of the NFL and will not have that many growing pains when they make him the full-time starter.
But this is a plan the Browns have tried many times before, and it usually does not work. One example came in 2010 when Colt McCoy was not supposed to play in his rookie season.
