Is Baker Mayfield a Bust?

[Stakesarehigh]

I don't know, if Mayfield has a terrible game today the talk of him being a bust will continue.

bust is a strong word

JaMarcus is a bust.

Vinny T was a top pick

don't think I've ever seen someone call him a bust.

To me that's Bakers floor.

No way

 

[DJ Fieri]

Agreed.
he is a starting QB & he even has an "IT" factor. Players like playing for him.
but as a QB he isnt gonna ever be some great player. But he will be a gamer.

He is a top 12 signal caller.

That isn't a bust.

Mayfield is playing for $4M this season. There are back-ups making more money. He's had a good year but let's not forget what his situation was in March 2023.

How many backups would make the throw Bake just made there

The question is, is he a 'bust'. This year proves no question, the answer is no. He'll be a starter for a few more years now.

As Stakesarehigh said bust is too harsh. He’ll be a starting QB next (most likely) year, IDK about a few more years.

I must be watching a different game than some of these guys.

Some people allow their personal feelings and emotions get in the way of what they actually see. That's how emotional people operate, reality doesn't matter, it's what they want that matters.

See this with politics too

Even more so. You present all the facts you want, but if it doesn't align with their fantasy world, they dismiss the facts and go with their fantasy.

This thread was started in October 2019...Mayfield's 2nd NFL season. He's in his 6th season and this thread is still active. He was never a complete bust that couldn't play and would be out of the NFL before his 4th season. Maybe he'll be a starter for a few more years. He's a top 32 QB but the top 32 QBs aren't all starters.

Bust no.
Disappointment yes.

 

[DJ Fieri]

He is going to get a 3 year deal worth 90-100 mill from some team.

If the Bucs are smart they will not leave.

It's now after the game and I don't know which throw you're referring to. I haven't seen Mayfield make a throw that others couldn't. This sounds like Mayfield made a questionable decision that paid off.

How many back-ups would throw a 5 yard pass in bounds and use up 20 seconds when their team was down 8 points, was 90 yards from a TD, and had just 1:59 remaining? The answer is 'most of them'.

Bookmarked.

Bookmarked.

You realize that is about average for a QB, right?

QB's get paid in the NFL.
