Is Baker Mayfield a Top 10 QB

How do you sprain both ankles on the same play? Like, I am trying to figure this out, I can't even picture it in my mind.

From what I saw, trying too hard to be Superman. Donald had him wrapped. Just go down and live to fight another day but Wentz kept going until he was all twisted up. One of his biggest faults going all the way back to the start is he thinks he's invincible. I have doubts that he plays another 5 years in this league at this rate.

well this is what NFL.com thinks.

NFL QB Index, Week 3: Tom Brady claims top spot, while Trevor Lawrence and Zach Wilson bottom out

Gregg Rosenthal provides a fresh ranking of all 32 starting quarterbacks, and there's a new No. 1! Meanwhile, Kyler Murray continues to fly up the board with special play, while the top two picks of the 2021 NFL Draft bottom out.

Baker is 14th (about where I would figure)
Jimmy G 20th & Carson Wentz 21st
Also sounds about right. Their Comments on Jimmy G werent too kind.

My friend Josh Norris said it before I could: Jimmy G's play in the first half of Sunday's win was an example why the 49ers traded up for Trey Lance. Kyle Shanahan's ability to problem solve and find Garoppolo open throws in the second half is why the 49ers can still win with him, even if the passing game is slants to Deebo Samuel and screens to everyone else.

Yeah, pretty much what I have thought all along too. The Wentz comment was a good observation as well. He can make those spectacular plays sometimes but then he wants to do that all the time instead of keeping things simple. His never say die attitude always gets him in trouble.
On another note, is Sam Darnold continues to play well, I expect him to move up the list.

Mayfield isn't a top 10 QB. And any Browns fans saying otherwise need to loosen their homer helmets.

 

[jarntt]

No, I don't think he is too close to the top 10 right now, but he doesn't have to be. With the talent on that team I think he is good enough.

Still love his commercials though. Best actor in the league...

not this year

Baker Mayfield had an adjusted completion rate of 58.6 percent in Week 4 against the Vikings, according to Pro Football Focus.​

It's the lowest adjusted completion rate -- the percentage of aimed passes thrown on target -- among any Week 4 starter. Mayfield time and again overthrew his pass catchers against Minnesota, totaling a pathetic 155 yards and no touchdowns against a middling Vikings secondary. Mayfield -- and, consequently, Odell Beckham -- were massive fantasy disappointments in Week 4. Mayfield through four games has the league's seventh lowest adjusted completion rate, just a smidge above Zach Wilson. Mayfield's inability to deliver catchable balls could be a major weekly issue for OBJ.

Am I allowed to include his commercials? If so then yes.

He was bad. I didn't want to make excuses for him and it looks like he doesn't either, I like that. It's wasn't just his accuracy anyway, it was his decision-making last game.

 

[Scooby-Doo]

If he is playing hurt, it is affecting his play. Either way, he was never the most accurate passer. He is a middle-tier QB.

Maybe he's really a lefty?

Baker Mayfield has been wearing a harness on his left (non-throwing) shoulder since suffering a partially torn labrum while trying to make a tackle vs. the Texans on Sept. 19.

I'm the first one not to make excuses for him but I don't care if it is right arm, left arm or his 3rd arm....that's a tough injury and it can throw off your mechanics.

Never is a very strong word. I mean he did have a higher comp % than Kyler Murray in college and that's basically 4 years to one and change for Kyler. Inconsistent is probably the better word. When he is on he is one of the most accurate passers and can make any throw...I was seeing much more consistency this year until that injury, hope it doesn't take too long to recover.

Maybe never is extreme. Kyler's completion percentage has skyrocketed this year. I am still quite skeptical that it will continue. Murray injured his shoulder last year and once that happened, his production went way down. Baker appears to be going through the same thing.

I'm going with excuse there

He has around top 5 arm talent but he is likely around 12 at this point, if you look at the list. Most nailed it saying he is around 12.

Top 10 (in no order) - Mahomes, Brady, Wilson, Rodgers, Allen, Dak, Stafford, Murray, Tannehill, Watson

Then you have a cluster of QB's you put at 11-14 - Cousins, Baker, Carr, Herbert.

Hebert's one year isn't enough, if he does it this year that could catapult Herbert into the top 10 maybe even top 7. Not enough track record.

Big Ben and Ryan seemed to be regressing as we speak.

Cousins is the very definition of #15. He can put up great stats against bad defenses and prevent but a good pass rush and he is useless. Also, cousins is beyond useless in a 2 minute situation.
