Baker Mayfield...

[Solomon Grundy]

Not his fault - their defense is crap. I'm just having fun

Louisville's defense didn't help Lamar Jackson either the other day

[YoloinOhio]

Yea is it Thomas? Less a corner and more a road straight through.

yes Jordan Thomas.

[YoloinOhio]

Mayfield is a complete QB. The completions he is making aren't "system QB" completions, they are big time throws. Plus, he changes plays at the line as he sees fit. Most college QB's can't.

 

hes not tall but I think he has a Brees/Wilson comp.

[DriveFor1Outta5]

I’d never draft a Big 12 QB with the hopes of him being my franchise guy. Defense is non existent in that conference. I understand that I have a simplistic take on Mayfield, but I wouldn’t even consider him.

TCU is 6th ranked overall defense in the country

Fair enough, and he’s looking good tonight. I still don’t trust Big 12 QB’s, and he needs to wear jerseys that cover his stomach better. Dude looks like he might become obese after he gets drafted as a pro.

Think of that as IQ and “padding”?

Might it be bubble wrap?

The kid is growing on me, not afraid to go over the middle. Won't be mad if we draft him, might even be stoked by the time the draft rolls around.

TBD reasons for not liking Baker Mayfield:

Hes a drunk

He wear his jersey too short

Big 12 Quarterbacks dont play against good defenses

Hes Johnny Manziel

 

Only reaaons not to like Baker Mayfield:

Hes short

He plays in a spread offense

 

Meanwhile Ive read people tell me how great Lamar Jackson is. No crystal ball but Mayfield has been incredible to watch this year.  Best Quarterback in college football.

And possible even a few draft spots. There’s a lot to like, but at what cost??? 

 

 

As Cowherd likes to say, he’s not very “quarterbackial”. I know a lot of folks hate Cowherd, but I agree thre face of the franchise should act a certain way. Time to mature. 

[Augie]

 

 

My son has been talking about his “antics”, and I asked what exactly. What you posted is only one instance from just this game. I like feisty, but I also want mature.

Meanwhile the other leading Heisman candidate skirts the sideline en route to a TD.  Which upon review shows his toe was just barely out of bounds.  FS1 cameras catch a shot of Barkley and Coach Franklin watching the replay on the Jumbotron and sportsmanly accepting that he stepped out

They give Barkley the old “better person than player” praise, so I think we can sign him up for Sainthood soon. The guy can PLAY!

Unfortunately for Baker Mayfield, Johnny Manziel existed and was a total flameout. Mayfield is the reincarnation of Johnny Football and would be completely off my draft board

When someone compares Mayfield and Manziel its the first sign that person has only watched Mayfield here and there.  Manziel was a scramble first quarterback that rolled out constantly and played sandlot football.  A majority of Mayfields throws come from the pocket and the ball is out quick.  Not at all the same player.  Similar height maybe but Mayfield is a pocket thrower.

 

Mayfield has been held to a different standard.  He grabs his nuts and he is classless.  Rosen wears a f**k trump hat and people rave about his social awareness.  Give me a break with the fake outrage.  Please go on and tell me how classy Brett Favre was.

Manziel also did it against SEC defenses when the SEC was LOADED. Baker is doing it against the Big 12. Let’s not pretend Johnny wasn’t the player that he was. We don’t need recency bias to downplay Johnny. He was the best college player that I’ve ever seen.

 

With that being said, I love Baker. He is a playmaker and a bro. That swagger has long been lacking on this team. Baker would be a welcome addition. This QB class is going to be good.

Does the lack of maturity not concern you? I love moxy, I hate idiots...and it’s a fine line. I honestly don’t know what to think. 

[bouds]

The lazy comparisons to Manziel remind of the lazy comparisons folks made about Von Miller being the next Maybin, you heard a lot of that garbage when we drafting that year.  

 

Mayfield's a stud, wish we land him, we probably won't.
