The Facts: According to Plain Dealer beat writer Mary Kay Cabot, "Based on the six practices of OTAs and minicamp that were open to the media, Mayfield, in my opinion, did not look ready to compete with Taylor for the No. 1 quarterback job."

Diehards Line: Cabot went on to stress that when she says Mayfield didn't look ready, she meant he simply wasn't ready to push Taylor for the job. This was not a commentary on his preparation, which, by most accounts, has been up to par. Cabot also reminded readers that plans in June can change by September, though she's not predicting that to happen. Remember, Carson Wentz wasn't supposed to start Week 1 until Philadelphia stole a first-round pick from Minnesota for Sam Bradford. Deshaun Watson wasn't supposed to start early, either, and 30 minutes into Houston's season he was on the field. But for now, expect Taylor to be locked in as the Browns' starter until further notice.
