Baker Mayfield: Fire The Cannons

Do Not Sell My Personal Information
I just don’t think he’s that good. He caught everyone by surprise last year and now he has a year of game tape on him plus a bullseye he put and constantly puts on himself. Even a washed up Eli could get Odell the ball
 
Lmao the ol game tape argument

He took everyone by surprise for 14 consecutive weeks last year while everyone was just scrambling doing their best to find any game tape

And all offseason teams spent solely preparing for Baker Mayfield because the game tape shipment from Guatemala finally came in

Any 8-8 team can compete in this division.

The Ravens have very little supporting cast around their young franchise QB, their defense is leaving quite a bit to be desired.

Steelers and Bengals are dead in the water.

Giving "whatever it takes" for a team that isn't truly ready to compete beyond this albatross of a division. If that makes it more clear.

Trent Williams doesn't make this team a contender for anything beyond a 9-7 finish right now. This team needs to stop throwing draft capital at every problem and thinking its a solution.

Shit mindset considering the Ravens, Steelers and Giants super bowl runs coming from wild card positions.

In this game you can just flat out get hot and go on a run and win a championship.

You are right...but he is more right.

Going all in for Trent Williams isn't a good idea for this team moving forward. And I'm not willing to risk it all just to increase our chances of winning a Super Bowl this year by 5%. Smart organizations don't operate that way.

Do I wish we had him? Yeah, he's a beast. Am I giving up a 1st, a 2nd, and then paying him top 5 Tackle money over the next ~4 years? No.

Mostly agree and I think Williams would be very short sighted move

But outside of Odell which I think was a good use of draft capital, we haven’t really been throwing draft capital around to solve problems. The fans just suggest it at every corner

Shit mindset is doing "whatever it takes" for one player, who doesn't solve your core issues, who you'd struggle to pay long-term, and thinking that getting hot on a wild card run will be the result.

That isn't a winning mentality.

Maybe but to make the move for Williams you just have to be playing better IMO.

If Baker were lighting it up and throwing the ball all over the field and we were losing games from untimely protection breakdowns, then sure, you use the capital to get Williams. As that is the root problem. But we just have a lot of things that need fixed beyond the acquisition of a single lineman.
 
Mayfield and Rosen can't stop running running into each other.

Here they are at the 2018 NFL scouting combine:

And here they are again in 2019:

All they’d have had to do was watch tape on RG3 and the book was out. Same style and body type.

And talk to Hue.
 
He looks shook to me. Jittery, Manziel-y, whatever you want to call it. I wont call him unprepared, because if he wasnt working hard at it his teammates wouldnt have his back and it looks like they do. His confidence just looks shot.

I will wonder if he isn't findng his 'windows' to throw through with the OL. That's up to him move around to find them; i remember it took Brees a few years to perfect this. Brees also wasn't refusing to shake hands at the coin toss though.
 
It's a short week. I need Baker to talk A LOT less in the lead-up to Seattle. You can say it's a frivolous thing to be worried about, but he needs to have his real work tightened-up before jawing about irrelevant shit online.
 
Baker’s the biggest problem, but the O-line is playing a huge role in that.


Baker is anticipating pressure when it’s not there because he’s getting knocked so frequently.
 
I'm less mad about Sherman and Silver lying, and more mad that their lying will lead to me having to hear fucking Mary Kay ask everyone and their mother about #HandshakeGate this week.
