You’ll Never Look At Baker Mayfield The Same Way…

How UNDERRATED Is Baker Mayfield Actually?

As a number one overall pick, Baker Mayfield has never come close to a Super Bowl. On the other hand, Troy Aikman, another number one pick, has multiple Super Bowl wins.

Ironically, Baker’s career quarterback rating is actually better than Troy Aikman’s! People have called Baker a bust, but was it maybe just his bad luck to go to an awful organization? In NFL history, there are only 6 quarterbacks drafted number one overall who won a Super Bowl as a starter, and Baker Mayfield’s career rating is better than almost every one of them. He’s even taken that awful Browns franchise to places they haven’t been for 26 years. So, how underrated is Baker Mayfield actually?

Baker has always had a chip on his shoulder, and you don’t need to look any further than his unlikely rise in college. He was underrecruited and wound up being a walk-on at Texas Tech. After an injury to starting quarterback Michael Brewer, Baker was named the Week 1 starter, becoming the first player in FBS history to start a season-opener as a walk-on freshman. After an impressive freshman year at Texas Tech, he transferred to Oklahoma. And all three years at Oklahoma, Baker led the conference in completion percentage, and twice he led in touchdown passes. His sophomore year he was 4th in Heisman voting, and his junior year he was 3rd in Heisman voting. In both those years, he was actually right behind Deshaun Watson, but more on that later. In his senior year, behind his 70.5% completion percentage, 43 passing touchdowns, and just 6 interceptions, he finally won the Heisman!

Ah yes the Kansas City Refs make a cameo

Baker is tied, 28 TD in last season. Currently he is 28 TD with 4 weeks to go in the regular season

You can't overstate the importance of being in a winning environment. The Rams. Sean Mcvey. Matt Stafford. Cooper Kupp. All tremendous pros. Showed Baker the way they do things. Baker said being with the Rams brought back the joy of football again.

“I’m a firm believer that everything happens for a reason. It was the first time I had fun playing football in a few years, ” Mayfield said, via Belle Fraser of the New York Post. “It brought that feeling of having that success and really remembering what it was all about, Kind of hit the reset button for me.”

Awesome video! I loved Baker the first time he played in Cleveland! I'm a Bucs fan now!❤

Too many analysts refuse to blame bad franchises for being bad. It's easier and safer to just blame players.

Stop watching the talking heads.

It’s amazing how playing healthy for a team that’s well managed and well coached can make such a difference! Go Bucs! Browns still living in denial…

Pat Macafee's face when Rex Ryan is talking about Baker

[levicool]

He forgot Mathew Stanford. 1 overall and won the superbowl

I have been a Baker believer since he came into the league even when it was not a popular belief to have. I am so disgusted with the browns (the Clowns) I've adopted the Bucc's instead.

[BlooveyMcgrady]

I know hes had some immaturity issues but ive always rooted for baker.

[TheGreatBoomy]

I did. Knew he’d make the comeback most weren’t ready for.

Baker was a good thing. I don’t know why the browns didn’t build around him. Pushed them to the play offs, kept them competitive, yes his only knock was he got injured often both in college and with the browns. May have been the lack of a team around but still.

[Bakerneers]

I'm glad I'm not the only one. Baker gets all the hate but this video really does let everyone see how effing terrible the coaches, players and overall teams were. The haters keep hating and he will use it to win a Superbowl. Bake is truly a dog. #boomer

Just a matter of time when we will see Baker Mayfield take his team to the Super Bowl.

[get_out_of_the_passing_lane]

It'll be interesting to see what he can do w Godwin gone and evans out until week 11 (current speculation)

[stevegoodnight]

Allow me to end this conversation with a 4 word summary: THEY WERE ALL WRONG!!

[kevinsands]

Only the Mannings won a Super Bowl in the cap era.

[MrLimon]

Too bad Tampa lost Mike Evans and Chris Godwin.

The NFL should be irrelevant. Most NFL fans voted Trump, yet the NFL doesn't allow Trump shirts/hats.
All while they're all about George Floyd.

[greenbeagle]

He isn't going to see a SB in his lifetime as a player, maybe as a spectator, but not as a QB. He is okay, but he can't carry a team. Just don't let him make anymore horrible Progressive commercials.... GAH.
