Baker Mayfield: Fire The Cannons

[Triplethreat]

Let's be real... A QB's BF% has literally not an ounce of impact on how they play on the field. No correlation whatsoever. Zilch, zero.

It also has no correlation to how hard he worked in the off-season, so anyone saying that is jumping to pure conclusions.

I've been around long enough to remember Brady Quinn was too buff to throw a football.

Idc. Just be ready come training camp.

You selected three guys who are over 35. If you don't know why that matters when discussing Baker don't worry, Mother Nature is going to show you soon enough.

Still has never hindered their ability to play football. Now did it?

On top of that, those pictures are not whatsoever recent and I found them in a compiled article from 2015, so they're at the very least 5 years old. Did you see the way Brady came INTO the league?

Body comp simply does not matter for NFL QBs.

I think the big picture here is putting in work watching film, working on footwork, mechanics, listening to objective criticism and then formulating a plan to work to improve based on weaknesses from the previous year. And yes you want to be in good shape once you hit camp. Plenty of time to accomplish those things, but yes they all need to be done in the offseason . Not all qbs with natural talent have put in the time, and it was a reason some of them never became top tier franchise qbs .

I get your point, but I wouldn't say it doesn't matter. It's probably not as big of a deal as people make it but I do think being fit can help in situations where being unfit couldn't. Running faster style offenses or even having quickness in the pocket can definitely help. Being more fit and having more muscle can help with those smaller, nagging injuries throughout the year.

Baker seems to be the type of guy that plays through things, but he does get banged up pretty good after a few hits. I would like to see him remain sturdy enough to play through that especially as he starts hitting his upper 20's and lower 30's.

The Baker Mayfield redemption tour is officially underway.

[FrontPageNews]

It’s easy to be humble after you played like trash. Hopefully this is the new baker even after he’s good again

First thought of seeing Baker in this interview....

Holy fuck this is tremendous.

Seriously, this might be the best thing Baker has ever done from a media perspective.

The subtle foot fetish joke, with the double entendre of showing remorse for fighting with the media. Just a well done response.

This is an all-timer for me.

Rex Ryan loves feet, man.

He just loves them. It was absolutely a burn on Ryan, and I think its fantastic.

Jets' Ryan: Foot-fetish report 'personal matter'

Rex Ryan said that a report that his wife posted foot-fetish videos on the Internet is a personal matter and he won't discuss it.

I’m certain that was a subtle dig at Ryan.

Baker played it really straight though, which is why it works.
