Wasn't me, but that isn't his strength yet either. First off, during the course of his college season I became a bigger fan of his arm talent and accuracy. He also seemed to get much smarter within the offense. There's so much to like coming away from this game. There's areas to grow as well.
He has very good pocket presence, and my biggest beef during the college season with drafting Mayfield was his tendency to push toward the sidelines if a throw wasn't there. From there he wants to run for the first down. He is still doing it, and he is doing it against a second team defense. The Callaway throw to the sideline was my favorite play from Baker because he needs to look for that more often.
When he plays a first team defense, it won't be as easy, especially if they know that is Mayfield's tendency. So while his pocket presence was better than I expected, it still needs work.
Oh I agree.
The throw off the back foot was really bad. They need to work on plant and drive on some of those throws.. it’s great he has time to develop his habits
