On that 3rd and 18 pass conversion, Mayfield threw that pass to C.J. Board, a guy who was a 2017 undrafted rookie free agent currently on his 3rd team (Ravens, Titans, Browns). And his rushing game was 2nd round pick Nick Chubb, who rushed 15 times for 11 yards. Mayfield had to carry the offense given the lack of rushing, but he made players around him better, such as a UDRFA who's on his 3rd team in 12 months. 

Good debut from the #1 overall pick. 

 

 

An undrafted free agent got open in a zone defense with no underneath help & 4 defenders in the area with not of them within 5 yards of the WR. That play said more about how bad the Giants defense is than it said about how good Baker Mayfield will be. I did love the way he moved around the pocket though, keeps his eyes downfield & his quick release. Definitely looks like he'll at least be Russell Wilson lite & that's good enough to succeed in today's NFL.

The WR was open given that the Giants didn't expect that Baker would be able to withstand the pressure for that long. The only reason why that WR even has the opportunity to make a wide open catch is because Baker avoided pressure within the pocket by avoiding the rush from a guy who had an opportunity to make a play.

 

3rd and 18 in the NFL is still 3rd and 18...especially when you have to also deal with the pass rush. Im not going to sit here and act like the WR was running free and Baker was just sitting back all day waiting for a WR to get open. Baker's feet kept that play alive before he even threw the ball.

But to prove a point, how about this play? 3rd and 7, Baker flushed out of the pocket and has to make a pin point pass while on the run to a WR who isnt wide open with no DB's around him, and the pass is 35 yards all air...not 21 yards like the previous pass, and is throwing to a guy who would be a 4th or 5th WR on the depth chart.

Anyone else who has no life and is spending their Saturday Night watching Broncos - Vikings preseason football?

Only 1 quarter of 1 preseason game, but Broncos offense looks like hot garbage.

Is Lynch still garbage? It’s about time they put a stop to that and cut ties.

Threw a pick on his first throw -- although it was more on the WR, off his hands.  Both Lynch e a hit hugot Keenum look lousy.

5 possessions.  4 three and outs and a pick.  Lynch just took a huge hit on a sack.

Remember when we got made fun of for passing on Paxton Lynch?

He’s a f*cking goof ball that doesn’t put in the work.

HERE! Can't tell if Chad Kelly is really good or if the Viking defenders tonight are a collection of guys more likely to be bouncing or waste management professionals  before the end of August. Or the Bud Light is cold and there isn't anything else on right now.
