From the article

Deshaun Watson outplayed Baker Mayfield on Sunday. It's not an exaggeration; it's a fact. Mayfield hasn't played well going back to the second half of last season, and it has continued. Constant overthrows and not seeing open receivers; it was a bad day for Mayfield.

STACKED’s take

Negative signalProjection

Mayfield's struggles continue; Watson outplayed him, validating Browns' decision to move on.

Mayfield underperformed against Cleveland in Week 2, outplayed by Watson in a direct matchup. The source notes Mayfield hasn't played well since the second half of last season, continuing a trend with constant overthrows and failure to see open receivers. Tampa Bay's decision to sign him to an extension was premature and unearned; the source argues Cleveland was right to move on, as Mayfield is not someone who elevates a team to Super Bowl contention.
