Browns Set to Face Some Terrible Quarterbacks Rest of Season and They Better Capitalize
By Michael Luciano
The Cleveland Browns are currently in a tailspin at 2-5 despite having Baker Mayfield, Nick Chubb, and Odell Beckham on the roster. That record is due, at least in part, to the fact that they have faced a Murderers' Row of quarterbacks.
Luckily for Freddie Kitchens and the Browns, the quarterback schedule is infinitely easier in the second half of the season.
Browns remaining schedule:

at Brandon Allen
vs Josh Allen
vs Mason Rudolph
vs Ryan Fitzpatrick
at Mason Rudolph
vs Ryan Finley
at Kyler Murray
vs Lamar Jackson
at Ryan Finley
Lamar Jackson looks like a stud, while both Rudolph and Murray have had their moments this year and have promising futures ahead, but this is a cakewalk. Their games against the Ravens and Bills should be the only ones in which they are not favored.
This could also be an opportunity for Mayfield to pad his stats against some poor defenses, as he and the Browns were put through a proverbial meat grinder early in the season.
Here are the three quarterbacks with the worst passer rating in 2019:

Josh Rosen - 52
Sam Darnold - 66.2
Baker Mayfield - 67.8
The Browns' season has been a wash to this point, but they have a chance to finally show what they're made of now that they don't have to go against a superstar every other week. Let's see if Baker can recapture the mojo from his rookie season.
