RJ Bell: "The Browns went from -6 to -1.5 (after the announcement of Baker Mayfield's injury). And you may think 'if Baker is an elite quarterback, then why is it only moving that modest amount?' For one, it was known that he was banged up. Also, Case Keenum is an elite backup. In 2017, he had the second-highest QBR in the NFL. Lastly, Baker Mayfield has underperformed expectations. You could almost make the case that this is a big move, that it's a lot of respect for Baker Mayfield given the givens."
