Jarvis Landry Says Browns QBs 'A Lot Better Than What I Had' with Dolphins

While praising his new team, Cleveland Browns wide receiver Jarvis Landry threw some major shade at his old one.

"The quarterback play is so important, which has got me that much more excited about Tyrod [Taylor] and [No. 1 overall pick Baker Mayfield] and the way that they're throwing the ball out here," Landry said Thursday, per NFL.com's Marc Sessler. "It makes me that much more excited. It's a lot better than what I had in Miami. I'm excited about that."

Landry may have been referring specifically to his final season with the Miami Dolphins, when Jay Cutler and Matt Moore split the starting duties with Ryan Tannehill out for the year. The Dolphins ranked 18th in passing yards (220.9 per game) and 23rd in offensive efficiency through the air, per Football Outsiders.

Prior to this offseason, comparing the Browns' quarterback setup favorably to that of your former team would be one of the most biting critiques possible. The Browns franchise has been synonymous with quarterback futility since re-entering the NFL in 1999, with 14 different players finishing as the leading passer during that time.

However, Cleveland may have finally remedied that problem by acquiring Taylor from the Buffalo Bills and selecting Mayfield. While Taylor isn't elite, he's one of the best QBs the Browns have had in nearly two decades, and his presence will allow Mayfield to make a gradual adjustment to the NFL.

In most other years, Landry's comments would sound optimistic to a fault, but his faith may not be misplaced ahead of the 2018 campaign after Cleveland's busy offseason.
