Baker Mayfield is my boy


Recommended Posts

There's not a better fit for WNY and our fanbase than Baker Mayfield. First time he throws a 60 yard bomb for a TD and his celebration running the length of the field will be iconic.

I still don't love him and I don't know if I buy it, but if they think he is Drew Brees, and will win from the pocket, I'm good with it. Trusting the process.  

 

For a short guy he hardly ever gets his ball batted down at the line unlike Rosen who surprisingly gets passes batted down a ton.

because he played in a 1 read quick throw shotgun offense.  in the senior bowl when they put him in a drop back pro style system he had 2 balls batted down out of like 7 throws total.  it's definitely a concern of mine now.

I don't put any stock in Senior Bowl games but yeah they're going to have to move him around a bit in our new offense.

Good arm strength, good accuracy, great field vision and anticipation. Mayfield is the QB from this draft that will be the super star QB.


Yup.

Gone by the 4th pick. I don't think the general population adequately understands how much football minds discount ability for injuries. Billy Price is staying on that board until the third round. Josh Rosen is going to wait until Arizona or worse.

There is absolutely zero chance Josh Rosen lasts to Arizona.  Zilch, nada, none.

He has major bust written all over him,  i would not waste a 3rd round on the most overhyped player in 2018 draft.

 

Wrong thread this thread is talking about Baker Mayfield not Lamar Jackson or Josh Allen

Zero? LOL. Here's a completely plausible scenario.

Cleveland takes Darnold.
Bills move up to #2. Take Baker Mayfield.
Jets continue on their path to take another QB just like Bryce Petty. Take Allen.
Denver has $36MM invested in Case. Takes a key piece (G? who knows). 
Miami just brought on Osweiler to back up Tannehill, didn't they?

Next draft pick for a team that truly needs a QB? Arizona. 

I'm telling you, players with an injury history are not loved in the draft and fans/analysts never discount this far enough. They get consumed by gym short workouts and scrimmages. But evaluators never forget and the tape lasts forever.

Anyways, Mayfield is the guy.

FWIW    -  with 2 Mayfield threads on the top page I'll post in both

The Denver Broncos got a close look at Baker Mayfield during the Senior Bowl, but there were apparently some issues.

 

For the teams in the top-five of this year’s draft, a decision to take one of the top quarterbacks will be necessary. The Denver Broncos hold the No. 5 pick, which may put them in position to get the third or fourth quarterback off the board if things go a certain way. 2017 Heisman Trophy winner Baker Mayfield could then be an option, but that may not be in the cards.

Mayfield practiced with and played for the North team, led by the Broncos’ coaching staff, at the Senior Bowl. That close proximity to Mayfield provided the opportunity for a good evaluation, at least initially one way or the other. By all indications Mayfield had a good week, despite arriving late due to his mother’s illness and leaving the game early to be with her.

I like Mayfield. I think I like him better than the others.  Only thing I don't like is his height. 

 

Reports are he's extremely accurate. I like that. 

 

He's a big time competitor and I like that. 

 

He can scramble but he's slow. 

 

I think the punk stuff is overblown.  Big Ben was pretty outta control when he was young.  

 

I like that he's won a lot.

He may be your boy, but I'm pretty sure he isn't the Bill's boy.  He is not a team guy, he gets in trouble, he does stupid things on the field.  I don't see it happening.

 

That's more of the knock that's been reported about Rosen. 

 

All that I have heard is that Mayfield's teammates would go to battle for him because he was so well liked. 

 

As far as stupid things on the field, I (and I feel like many others) would be pretty okay with Mayfield scoring a TD to put us up by 25 on the Patriots and grabbing his crotch towards them.

In my life as a NYer, there have been maybe four guys tailor made for NYC.


Mark Messier.

Reggie Jackson.
Clyde Frazier.

Joe Willie Namath. 

 

(you could add Dr. J, but ... Nassau?)

And this guy. There is no way, NO WAY ... that Newsday, the NYDN and the NY Post let the Jets pick anyone else. Buffalonians just have no idea how unrelenting that city is unless you've lived it. 

If Baker gets past Cleveland, and I doubt it but lets face it Darnold is the "safe" pick, you either offer the Giants a King's Ransom or prepare to have that grinning face kick your butt 20 times in the next 10 years.
