It is very wrong and speaks to his overall mental health. He flows in negativity and lacks self confidence if he has such a list. Colin Kaepernick had such a list. How did that work out. He is very unhealthy.

 

Baker Mayfield is off of my big board nownbecause of this. Even if he is available in the 2nd round, I am passing on him.

I keep a hitlist of posters who disagree with me....

He has bust written all over him. He is fueled by negativity and anger. He look only at the negative. This speaks of mental health problems. This will hurt him in the long run. A healthy person would brush these "slights" off.

 Says no competitive person ever. You were the guy/girl in gym class that agreed with the captains for picking you last, yeah?

And you are a licensed mental health professional to know this?  Anger is a natural human response.  It can motivate OR debilitate depending on one's character.  So far for Baker...  It has motivated him.

 

PS his TEAMMATES absolutely love him and that says a lot of him as a young man.

FTR, I was picked second or third to last usually. Smart people picked me earlier though as they knew my true skills and could oversee my obesity. I was a defensive specialist in dodgeball (good where everyone was obsessed with offense) and no one covered me in the endzone in football, so I made for an easy target for a TD.

Bills were top 10 in the league for percentage of passes thrown from shotgun in 2017 I believe.

Expand  

 

Perhaps when they got into shotgun it wasn’t going to be a run, but they lined up under center more than shotgun and they were middle of the pack throwing from under center. 

 

Gotta be able to do it in the nfl

Anger, of course, can be pathological, but it is the natural reaction to injustice.

Every HOF coach has said they are motivated more by their hatred of losing than their enjoyment of winning.

I know from first-hand experience. He is being motivated in a way which will hurt him long term. He demonstrates a lack of self-confidence, not just in his playing ability, but overall, which will only further hurt him in his interactions with others and his career. But he is young. Maybe he will change, but usually those traits are deeply engrained from abuse and dysfunction at an early age and cannot be changed. He may have a personality disorder. I feel his angers overflows, and that is unhealthy and will be his eventual undoing.

Thank you for the honesty. When I wasn’t picked early for football/basketball I was pissed and I made damn sure they wouldn’t make that mistake again. 

 

In Baker’s opinion he’s the best qb in the draft. He wants to make damn sure the people that pick qbs before him and the media that bashed him remember what they said when he’s flicking tds left and right. 

 

If that’s not healthy in super competitive sports where players reputations and livelihoods are on the line I don’t know what is.

We all hate losing, but Baker has taken things too far and has made a list of others he hates for routine reactions. Drop the bitterness and focus on yourself, not others.

So based on this answer and improper use of "personality disorder" you are NOT a mental health professional and are just spewing garbage to make your point sound like it has merit.  It is TRULY okay to say....  "I prefer ++++" without trying to Internet diagnose a young man in his early 20s.

He is focusing on himself, making himself better to prove the naysayers wrong.

OR... he’s extremely confident in his abilities and has an overwhelming sense of disproving people when their opinions are false.

 

Especially guys that have never played the game before and just shoot out generic “he’s too small” responses every time his name comes up.

Ok, I might be wrong. Who knows. I am not a mental health professional. I do hope I am wrong if we draft him. He list did concern me, but maybe I am being too hypervigilant.

It's called the Napoleon complex, they say 92% of all people under 6'0 have this in different degrees. Although is could be SPS ( Small Penis Syndrome), either way when your short in those areas your going to have some sort of complex.

Well, of course I can't diagnose him, but I have a personality disorder, so I am familiar with them and the DSM and know how to use the term..

Yes I agree with that. I don't know if that is the best long-term strategy, but I hope it works out for him and I am wrong if we draft him.

That was my first thought and he ended up steamrolling through the competition to become president whether you like him or not despite hardly anybody giving him a chance.  Playing with a chip on your shoulder has made many successful NFL quarterbacks. 

 

Drew Brees and Russel Wilson were too short.  Tom Brady had one of the worst combines in for a QB ever and wasn't picked until the 6th round despite a solid career at Michigan.  Aaron Rodgers had to painfully wait in the green room as he kept sliding down the draft and then had to sit behind Brett Favre for a few years.  There's countless examples and I'm sure many of them mentioned took a mental note of people who doubted them (scouts, pundits, coaches, GM's, etc.).  Mayfield could also be a headcase so I think he's a risky pick, but could turn out to be a great QB.
