Is Baker Mayfield too sort.

if you are short and not in the Drew Brees School of QB then you are doing it wrong.

 

Thats why Baker sucks. He know where near Brees and Brees didnt have no where near the arm strength Baker has.

 

Brees is the standard when it comes to short QB and pocket play. Mayfield sucks within the pocket and cant see over his linemen thus he has to leave the pocket for throwing lanes. Baker also has average mobility, so needing a short QB with average mobility who depends on throwing outside the pocket to find throwing lanes is a recipe for disaster.

I expect Baker to be benched sometime when Darnold returns

I've watched Baker a lot.  He's gone through some pretty amazing stretches of football, and then gone through some awful stretches.  His inconsistency probably has a lot to do with the myriad of different systems in his short career as well as suffering through what should have been season ending injuries last year.  My sense is that he looks like a promising (old) young QB who just hasn't taken it to that next level yet.  I think having passes batted down and comfort in the pocket is all part of that.  And I have no idea what kind of progress we'll get from him this season.  Ideally he would get 2 healthy seasons in the same system at some point in his career.  Carolina probably does not have the short term stability or patience to go through the growing pains and get to a 2nd season either.

Flutie was in fact not a baller

Dude has his own breakfast cereal.  He was, in fact, a baller.  At least for a couple seasons.

Hes got one of the craziest, most unique careers of all time.  College legend, wins the Heisman, plays in the NFL until hes 27.  Then he goes an becomes a Canadian Football League legend - when he left the CFL he was the all time career leader in passing yards (41,355) and TDs (270).  Then he returns to the NFL at the ripe old age of 36, has a couple successful seasons as the Bills starting QB, and manages to stick around the league until hes 43 years old.

    • I'm still not touching Hunter He again said the other day that he plans on playing both sides of the ball in the NFL.  If he is allowed to do that, he won't be as good on either side as his potential and he's going to have serious injury issues and have a short career.  If he's not allowed to do it, I think he's going to become a problem when the team isn't winning as he's going to feel him not being used on both sides of the ball is why. He's being coddled in that environment with Deion and I think it's doing a disservice to him to prepare him for life in the NFL where your coach isn't a 2nd father to you, to where you can just walk into his locker room and steal his shoes like Hunter does to Deion.
    • He’s a tad behind them. Around 15ish of 32 starters in the league. He’s well ahead of a lot of guys. Tua, Bryce, Cousins (present), Rodgers (current), Devito/Jones, Minshew, Russ (current), Watson, Smith, Carr, T Laws deep ball is weak as poo IMO, there’s plenty. And it’s not like everyone is ripping 60+ers. The key component is if you can rip and maintain velocity of the 30-40 yarders which he does super well. Legit every report out there from Brugler to PFF to PFN document him as good/above average arm strength.  Eye test tells me it’s pretty much that as well, slightly above average.
    • 6-10 carries for  35-45 yds and 3-5 catches for 15-25 would be great.
