Folks and even players on the low really love the Mayfield antics. You cant lie and claim that what he did was college stuff while watching teammates do college stuff in the pros that they were waiting so long to do.

14 in Green Posted October 9, 2019 Share Posted October 9, 2019 A few things have become really obvious after reading this thread. There are a LOT of people here who are really worried about Sam Darnold, and it kills them that Mayfield had some success and out played him last season. They're desperate to see their guy get on the field and show he can be the FQB this team desperately needs. They're pissed that Sam turned into the Kissing Bandit and ruined the '19 season for the Jets. They're upset that other guys like Jackson and Allen are playing and showing the improvement they hoped Sam would have. It wasn't supposed to be this way was it? Jackson and Allen were supposed to be "injuries waiting to happen" yet Darnold is the one who can't get on the field. Mayfield was short and a punk. He'd crash and burn. Yet he's a star, and Madison Avenue loves him. Thankfully for them, he's had his struggles in a couple of games this year, so they're taking whatever joy they can from that. Mayfield struggling against the 49ers has been the high point of their year. Cheer up though fellas. Sam is back this week, and we can finally get to see HIM actually play football. Imagine that. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snell41 Posted October 9, 2019 Share Posted October 9, 2019 But it could make him a more comfortable, more experienced quarterback. Russell Wilson is 2 inches shorter than Mayfield yet is having an MVP-like season right now. This height talk has forever been overrated. He doesnt need to be a better athlete to gain composure in the pocket. Tom Brady isnt athletic, but has some of the best pocket presence you'll find. Russell Wilson understands how to create sight lines ala Brees to compensate. Russell also does not flush out of the pocket until he has to, and he uses his athleticism to create opportunities once the play breaks down. He avoids the sack and at that point the receivers have completed their routes and are now working against a confused D that is covering beyond the design of the play, hence guys are open. Mayfield is clearing out of the pocket before there’s pressure. The routes are still developing so by the time Mayfield clears they’re still in their routes and it gives the DL time to catch up to him outside of the pocket before the routes and coverages break down. That is why it’s imperative the QB stand in the pocket until it actually breaks down. From what I’ve seen of Mayfield it’s my opinion he’s breaking out of the pocket because he can’t see the field clearly beyond his first read. I don’t think that he’s mentally incompetent to go to his2nd/3rd reads (vs a guy like Geno who just can’t comprehend what he’s seeing), I just don’t think he sees them clearly. He’s an accurate thrower who has thrown a lot of off target passes. In my opinion that’s because he’s throwing to a spot he feels his WR should be vs actually seeing where the receiver is nor the coverage in the area. In other words he’s throwing up prayers. He needs to learn how to create and utilize his sight lines the way Brees does because he does not have the athleticism of Wilson to bail himself out. If he doesn’t his career is going to be short (no pun intended). Sent from my iPhone using JetNation.com mobile app 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is where my biggest concern over Mayfield would be if I were a Browns fan. I really don't think the Kitchenette coaching staff has the coaching brains, temperament or even guts to effectively coach coach this kid. I guess we will find out. They have a big job to tackle with Mayfield and a lot will depend on Mayfield's acceptance/defiance of what they do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can strongly disagree, but the bottomline is that there's a difference between the Cam Newton's of the world and the Russell Wilson's. Russell Wilson with Baker Mayfield athleticism would still be one of the most prolific passers this game has ever seen. Being a strict pocket passer is understanding how to move within the pocket. Which is why I also mentioned Tom Brady earlier. Having a feel for the pocket is a talent, a talent that isnt based on height but intuition. It's not Wilson's athleticism, but his intuition which makes him so dangerous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Acknowledging this isnt always equating. It's just a fact. I generally dont compare the two guys. Have I done it? Sure. But it's nothing that's a constant for me because it's nothing I've really ever cared to do as some way to make a long standing point on this forum. It's just not necessary. Folks drop mic's as if Baker Mayfield runs from cops as a drunkard every weekend. Based on how often we hear about this 2 year old incident, you'd swear this happened more than once, or just this past weekend....EVERY weekend that passes. I dont care about this to the point of making it a conversation piece 2 years running. It's asinine that people even do it. This is basically projecting. There is an entire underlined paragraph full of things that I dont even care about, because it isnt football. That's the soap-opera version of football media coverage other folks eat up. And I bet if it wasnt found out that Richard Sherman was a liar, not shaking hands would have been part of that paragraph. Folks are talking about a grown man taking photos with a tiger...shirtless. Why are other men even interested in this? I thought pictures like this was to grab the attention of women?

This is especially so when the 2002 QB was playing for Marty Shottenheimer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The game hasnt changed so drastically to the point that 2002 NFL football is an entirely different sport. And Baker Mayfield is playing for Freddie Kitchens, a man who doesnt have a history to even criticize. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
