Drew Brees still has confidence in rookie Browns QB Baker Mayfield

Baker Mayfield has not played any game in the NFL (yet), but we should still know that Drew Brees has faith in the QB rookie.

We know what you all think. Why in the world should we trust Drew Brees trust in Baker Mayfield? That's a pretty reasonable question to ask, actually.

The Cleveland Browns top pick has not been as bad this season, sitting patiently on the bench until Tyrod Taylor, the current Browns top quarter, slowly self-destructs and delivers the offensive. to his future savior.

We do not know how he will play in the pros because we have not yet seen a pass in a regular season game. So it is absolutely fair to ask why we have to trust the talents of a rookie who has not played yet.

Believe it or not, there is also a good answer to this question. The reason we should have faith in Brees' confidence in Mayfield is that Drew Brees speaks here, one of the great QBs of the modern era.

Brees knows a thing or two about negligence, that's why he has sympathy for Mayfield. When he was recruited by the San Diego Chargers in 2001, no one would have thought that Brees would have the career that he has now. There are a lot of similarities between Brees and Mayfield, which is why, in an interview with ESPN on Wednesday, he said with certainty that Mayfield could be a better QB than him.

It's a pretty big statement about a player who has not seen the field in the regular season yet, but Brees is a member of the Hall of Famer, and he knows the talent when he sees talent. With what he sees to Mayfield, we would be foolish not to accept this optimism.
