Baker Mayfield is going through hell right now.
The hype he racked up last season and during the off-season hasn’t translated into good stats and winning so far through six games, as the team limps into the bye week with a 2-4 season.
His play on the field has been noticed by everybody and that includes the team over at EA Sports. Madden’s team adjusts ratings based on performance throughout the season and it’s not looking good for the Browns quarterback.
Via Cleveland.com:
“Baker Mayfield is the complete opposite. The Browns QB began the season with an overall rating of 83. Some thought that was low. However, Mayfield’s overall rating dropped to an 80 after the Browns’ blowout loss to the San Francisco 49ers in Week 5.
Mayfield’s Awareness rating is down to a 75 (which is pretty bad). His accuracy could take a hit too after this weekend. Mayfield now has the same ratings as the Oakland Raiders’ Derek Carr and is two spots lower than Cam Newton, who isn’t even playing right now.”
Mayfield tossed for 249 yards, 1 touchdown and 3 interceptions against the Seattle Seahawks, so that overall rating might be dropping even further. Not to mention, once the team comes off their bye week, they will have to face the New England Patriots at Gillette Stadium.
