For some reason he felt the need to jump in the comments section of a “First Take” post Monday on Instagram about the need for him to grow up. There’s obviously no quicker way to show you’re growing up than to call your former coach “fake” on Instagram! Seriously, why is any NFL quarterback wasting their time in the comments section on Instagram? You don’t take to social media in order to air out your dirty laundry. This is the NFL, stop acting liking a teenage girl. Didn’t realize he was so insecure. Not a desirable trait in a QB, imo. It will be interesting to see how he reacts to a real controversy in the future.
DaBillsFanSince1973 Posted November 27, 2018 Posted November 27, 2018 was, is and likely always will be a douche and at this point a little punk as well.

He used to constantly search his name on Twitter and respond to anyone who dared criticize him. He could not handle it. I thought it was a poor trait for a nfl QB. Jmo. Otherwise I was all in. Maybe it won’t matter at all to his success. But this is nothing new.

But if he has to derive validation from social media comments, he’s in for a world of criticism. I don’t know about a QB who’s so easily trolled. Edited November 27, 2018 by K-9
Tyrod's friend Posted November 27, 2018 Posted November 27, 2018 sounded to me like a leader, of his city, his organization and his team. If it had been our team, and the coach gone to New England ... and the QB suddenly flourished after the coach left? Buffalonians would be bursting with pride. Don't fool yourself. Like I said when he was in the draft - I would have looked forward to the day he waved the team flag in the end zone in Gillette. Good luck to him in Cleveland. 2

boater Posted November 27, 2018 Posted November 27, 2018 The part of the brain that evaluates risk isn't fully developed until you are 25 years old. Apparently it's the same part of the brain that prevents one from saying douche-baggy things.
4merper4mer Posted November 27, 2018 Posted November 27, 2018 3 hours ago, BarleyNY said: BS. Hue Jackson threw his players, assistant coaches and front office under the bus repeatedly to cover his own ineptitude. That includes revising history and outright lying. For example, Sashi wanted Wentz at 2 and Hue didn’t. They traded out for Hue, but that’s not what he put in the media after Wentz blew up. Then there’s all of the crap hue said about players, FO and assistants after he got fired. Baker was restrained. So Mayfield is salty at Hue because Hue didn't want Wentz? All he had to do was be polite for 30 seconds and he couldn't manage.

That is what you want in a QB imo. Well, I disagree. I think it shows Mayfield has very thin skin and will allow himself to be readily drawn into distracting media drama. Right now it's NBD and apparently motivational for him, but at some point I think it's very likely to bite him in the butt or become overwhelming.

ndirish1978 Posted November 27, 2018 Posted November 27, 2018 He's a kid with a "rivalry" mentality trying to hype himself up. He doesn't understand the business side of this, or he is willfully ignoring it.
Bad Things Posted November 27, 2018 Posted November 27, 2018 Why yes. Yes, he was a douche. In fact, he could even be considered a douchie douche.

Livinginthepast Posted November 27, 2018 Posted November 27, 2018 14 hours ago, Gugny said: I think there's a few things at play, here. 1. Mayfield is young and perhaps a bit immature. 2. Mayfield, at his age, may not realize that a man Hue Jackson's age isn't going to have many opportunities in the NFL; especially after getting fired after a Peterman-esque career in Cleveland. 3. Mayfield is trying to win over a team and a fan base. On the heels of throwing 4 TDs and no INTs, he took an opportunity to pound his chest one more time that day. I would be shocked that, 5+ years down the road, Mayfield wouldn't have handled it with a tad more grace/subtlety and professionalism. But he's a kid. I don't think he crossed any lines. That said, if he came out with those remarks as a seasoned vet, I'd likely feel differently. I love that line! Add it to the dictionary and define it as a "consistent and utter failure". Hue pulled a Peterman at Cleveland in every way!! 1
