Coach Tuesday Posted November 30, 2017 Posted November 30, 2017 Mayfield would single-handedly turn this franchise around. Which is why they probably won't take him. Anyone remember the movie "Labyrinth"? Remember at the beginning when they start out in the maze and they turn left, and the two creatures who live in the maze joke that if they had just turned right, they would've gone straight to the castle? That's a metaphor for the Bills' last two decades. 1 1 3 1
JMF2006 Posted November 30, 2017 Posted November 30, 2017 Its hard to say,a few weeks ago I thought maybe 20-28 would be the range. But some team is going to fall in love with this kid and he could go 10- 15 1

How does he compare in talent and character issues to Chad Kelly or Johnny Manziel, while in college. No, I'm not saying he is like them. Just curious since they too were talented players with character issues. I don’t think it fair to compare him to Chad Kelly who IMO was a total basket case ,
DriveFor1Outta5 Posted November 30, 2017 Posted November 30, 2017 Lots of Mayfield people around here, so I know that my opinion will be unpopular. I’m simply afraid of a short, pudgy, Big 12 QB. Factor in the distractions he will be bring, and I say no thanks.

In every mock I have ever done since 2005 I have only picked 2 players the selected Bradham and Stevie J and I even got the round right for SJ The chance of getting this right is slim and none. I can only hope they think he is a franchise guy like I do.

JinxedBill1 Posted November 30, 2017 Posted November 30, 2017 This is a sport where you try to be better than the other guy. You want to earn their respect and dominate the competition. Why hey do people have a problem with confidence? That's a fine line to cockiness but so what? If that what drives you to be better than others and you actually are, go on with your bad self. Why, in this generation, being full of yourself a bad thing? Everyone should be humble, bull ****, drive yourself to be the best! Anyway, enough with that. I like the kid but he is small in stature. I'd support him if he's the pick.
Doc Posted November 30, 2017 Posted November 30, 2017 3 minutes ago, Woodman19 said: So? You scout tools in college players not boxscores. True. And part of the scouting process is to see whether (most of) those 12 INTs were on him. If they were, you pass because he's doing that in college and it won't get any better in the pros.

I don't think there is a single QB coming out that has as much passion as this guy. That sort of thing is contagious as well. Ray Lewis instantly made everyone on the field better just by his voice, and his presence. Terrell Suggs still can hear that mans voice on the field every time he gets a strip sack. If this kid can ignite a fire in all of our players, then I'll welcome it. 2

Lord, is he ever short." His hands are small, much smaller than hands you would expect to throw a football accurately at long distances http://www.espn.com/espn/feature/story/_/id/17284078/oklahoma-sooners-qb-baker-mayfield-used-defying-critics I don't know if that article is just a joke or not. For some reason, this stands out (concerns) to me. How small are his hands? Dave Krieg small?

mjt328 Posted November 30, 2017 Posted November 30, 2017 I don't see McDermott going for Baker Mayfield. It's already been established how important he considers character. Mayfield already has an arrest, and the whole crotch-grabbing incident against Kansas this year. Maybe he's not getting busted for drugs or beating his girlfriend, but those actions are going to weight heavily against him.

How many low production QB's in college have good NFL careers? Production is scouted as well. Deshaun Watson threw a lot of INT's in college in his last year but also had 41 TD's....not 15.

He goes out for the coin toss and the Kansas team captains snub him on the handshake and possibly said something......really.... a 1-9 team. So he soundly whoops their ass and tells them how he feels about them. Not very classy and certainly not the high road you would hope he would take but he's 22 and ultra competitive. I might have done the same thing if I were in his shoes.
