I have stood next to guys 6 6 and a half--and they are a head taller than me at slightly over 6 1. everyone who has seen mayfield knows he isnt near 6 1. But relax it doesnt matter. Can the guy play football?? I like Mayfield more than any of the other prospect exc possibly Dee Arnold 1 hour ago, Zac said: are people seriously suggesting that combine measurements are wrong? Seriously Zac. How are people arguing measurements that just happened a month ago done by the NFL in a controlled environment and with witnesses from the entire league. He was measured at almost 6'1 by the NFL not Oklahoma. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ndirish1978 Posted March 22, 2018 Share Posted March 22, 2018 I love the curmudgeons who call him a punk. He's intense and that pushes him to be excellent. I have no problem with his attitude at all. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr. Who Posted March 22, 2018 Share Posted March 22, 2018 I hope folks pass on this guy because of his height. I'd love to get him at twelve, but I think I would get antsy and trade up some. I'll really be surprised if he isn't a very good pro. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you have that video? Because In this one there wasn’t one snap from under center, he didn’t climb the pocket, and on anything that wasn’t a deep throw the line opened a throwing lane showing that it was a prescribed throw and there were a number of rollouts too. i think this kid is going to have a hard time with a prostyle offense.

MrEpsYtown Posted March 22, 2018 Share Posted March 22, 2018 3 hours ago, YoloinOhio said: Mayfield looks like Russ Wilson but softer . Needs a good strength and conditioning coach. That's the thing. He's got a sloppy body and not near the speed and athleticism of Wilson. I like him, but the combination of small and slow gives me major pause. I also dont don't like the fiery stuff from my quarterback. The Rivers stuff always pissed me off as well as all of Brady's crap. I never liked that kind of stuff. I really wouldn't mind him if he fell in that 7-12 rang but not in a trade up that costs us that other first. I also dont don't think Beane will draft him, based on everything he has said about quarterbacks for the past year. Only guys who fit his mold to a tee are Darnold and Rosen.

In the pocket doesn't mean under center. He didn't need to step up but he can when need be. prostyle offenses are now catering to what college QBs can do and now we finally have an OC that can do it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coach Tuesday Posted March 23, 2018 Share Posted March 23, 2018 Mayfield is The One. If the Bills trade up and pass on him, they will regret it - especially since they'll likely have to play against him twice per year. He is going to be a great one. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can find those guys later later in the first round or the second they may as as well just stick with AJ. He was great in college too. If Bakers is their guy Bills should just trade a fourth to Washington for colt McCoy Edited March 23, 2018 by Over 29 years of fanhood Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrEpsYtown Posted March 23, 2018 Share Posted March 23, 2018 Less than ideal height is just less than ideal. I like Mayfield, he just isn't my favorite. I want a guy that can take his 5-7 step drops, step up into a collapsing pocket and throw the ball all over the field. I think sometimes people don't take that into account. For example, Tyrod just never stepped up into the pocket and made throws when things were breaking down, as we on TV and in the stands see wide open guys all over the place. Itś because he couldn't see them. Plays are designed with teh idea that teh quarterback will be in the pocket, routes, angles, everything. When things break down, it is nice to have a guy who can scramble, but that just doesn't win Super Bowls. Now Mayfield is the better passer by a long shot, but his height is less than ideal. I think Mayfield will have early success, like RG3 and DeShaun Watson because coaches will likely adapt a lot of the RPO stuff that he was doing in college. That stuff just doesn't last long, and once he has to become a more traditional quarterback he will be done. Just like RG3 and just like what I forsee for DeShaun Watson. Based on everything Beane has said, he seems to want a guy that can stand tall in the pocket and throw strikes with pressure in his face. Does that mean you pass on Mayfield if he is there at 12, no...but I don think there is any way he is the target for a trade up. With Darnold likely going one, Iḿ guessing they want Rosen or Allen.

bobobonators Posted March 23, 2018 Share Posted March 23, 2018 Baker mayfield will either be a complete bust or a stud for years. I dont see middle ground. Ryan Leaf or Russel Wilson. No inbetween. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pressure in college is very different from pressure in the NFL, when all 11 guys on defense are studs. Not some dudes from Tulsa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
