So, despite this thread that you've started lamenting the Browns' incompetence, you're going to ignore that incompetence and assume that they won't play the guy they just drafted first overall.
Tyrod Taylor led his team to the playoffs last year. He's been to the Pro Bowl. He's no Tom Savage or Mike Glennon. Browns won't just hand the job to Mayfield. He's gonna need Tyrod to struggle to get on the field. And that won't happen with the weapons the Browns have drafted.
Josh Gordon
Antonio Callaway
David Njoku
Nick Chubb
Carlos Hyde
Those are some really good weapons. Tyrod Taylor will have a very good season next year as the Browns starting QB. At most, the Browns will do what the Chiefs did and trade Tyrod at the end of the season if they like how Mayfield is developing ala Patrick Mahomes. However, if he's struggling, it could be a situation like Tim Tebow where Mayfield doesn't even start in year 2 as Tyrod continues to play well.
Tyrod Taylor will not be easily supplanted like Tom Savage and Mike Glennon.
I wasn't really overly impressed with any of the highly-drafted QBs. The flaws in each are pretty apparent, but that doesn't mean by any means that none of them will be good. Mayfield looks like your prototypical "college QB." Darnold and Rosen look like prototypical NFL QBs but kind of underwhelmed in college, especially Rosen. Allen is big and has a rocket for an arm but has no idea where it's going. Jackson was an electrifying college QB but just kind of runs around all over the place before slinging the ball somewhere.
People poked tons of holes in Goff and Wentz; Goff has already made a Pro Bowl and Wentz would have likely won MVP for a Super Bowl-winning team last year.
The only college QB I've ever seen who looked like a lock they'd be great in the NFL is Andrew Luck. I've heard people say that about Peyton too, and I certainly watched him play in college, but I was just a kid. It is such a hard position to scout; probably the hardest.
I expect the analytics nerds to say Josh Allen is an outlier after he becomes the best QB in this draft rather than admitting that their reliance on stats is wrong.
I'll trust my eyes watching tape over some nerdy math formula anyday of the week.

He would be an outlier. There is literally not one thing he has done that says he will be successful or even should have been drafted for that matter. His ceiling is Jay Cutler. He is strictly a Mel Kiper hype product.

He's potentially better than Josh Dobbs, the Michael Jordan of football?
I don't care about Mel Kiper. And I don't care about stats. I trust my eyes and I watch the film.
Based on his film, Josh Allen is potentially the most impressive QB prospect I've ever seen. He makes the impossible throws look easy and he makes some throw no one else in the history of football can make. He's also pretty athletic and can run. Intangibles will be the key for him. If he's motivated for greatness, he can be one of the best ever.
Josh Allen's FLOOR is Jay Cutler. His CEILING is a more athletic Dan Marino.
The people betting against this kid are gonna look really stupid. Maybe as soon as next season.
Josh Allen is more talented physically. Its always been the intangibles paired with the physical talent that had me high on Josh Dobbs.
For example LeBron James is the most physically talented basketball player I've ever seen. But he's not the best because his intangibles don't compare to a guy like Michael Jordan who accomplished more because of a superior killer instict.
Dobbs has that Jordan-esque killer instinct and intangibles to be the best ever. I don't think Josh Allen has those intangibles. Thus, I would take Dobbs over him even though I know Allen is more talented.

Im more surprised Allen was picked over Rosen
