You are common sense and everyone else is hyperbole. Gotcha.You have a tendency to go overboard serious on this stuff.
And yet my position remains the same.. lets see what happens when teams are prepping for him.
It isn't me versus PFF. It is hyperbole versus common sense.
Well coached teams will use film of Mayfield to try and spot tendencies, I agree. They always have. Poorly coached teams will do the same but will Favre it up in the replay room 'yeah, I see what you are talking about'. Seems to take about 4-6 games before a good team exposes flaws.You have a tendency to go overboard serious on this stuff.

The guy has played one half of football in the NFL.. my suggestion against the very clear and in many cases out of control hyperbole (BEST RATING EVER!!!!) is to step back and give it time to tell a more complete story.
Entirely possible, and I hope so. The kid is fun to watch.
Dynasty star potential, which is why I really was wanting him to go to New Orleans, where he would be in a dome and have good weather in FF playoff time. Things I look for he has other than ideal height. He can move around the pocket. He has a strong arm & a quick release. He can spot open receivers while scanning the field. Looks down field while scrambling. Student of the game. Pretty sure he can already read an NFL defense.
It would depend on the options but for Baker.
I'm sitting on starting FitzMagic with Wentz waiting in the wings. Baker Mayfield sits on the waiver wire (short bench 4 players). I'd have to drop FitzMagic to pick up some other new, young, fresh Magic? Would you?
The struggle is real.
Go peruse the Cleveland Browns thread, there's a movement being put together.
And how do QB's that can throw with anticipation, velocity, touch, and accuracy like Mayfield can, tend to do long term?
The Jet DB Jamal Adams who said they didn't prepare for Mayfield spoke to an ESPN reporter before that game and said the Jets wanted Mayfield. Before the game, Adams told an ESPN reporter that the Jets were hoping to face Mayfield.
We'll see what happens Sunday but, the kid has 'unique arm talent', will be prepared and can handle the pressure IMHO.
I think every WR on the roster benefits from Mayfield at QB. The problem? Every WR benefits from Mayfield begin at QB meaning I think he is going to be chucking it to whoever the open man is. He may develop a relationship with one of them but from what I've seen he looks at everybody so while Higgins will probably have more potential upside with Mayfield at the helm, he might get less targets because Mayfield will be spreading it around. Just speculation on my part based on a half of football so take it for what it's worth.
a little of both, IMO.
Did Haley coach Kurt Warner? If so and he said the current Browns QB room is better than any he's been around then he is preaching to his own choir about toning down hype.
Yes, OC in Arizona for their Super Bowl year. He also coached Ben for 6 years so his comment about the Browns QB room seems excessive but it's still encouraging given his experience
Everyone knows Taylor sucks but he has to puts some lipstick on it anyway. When the receivers were catching the pass from Baker, Tyrod was looking for someone to be wide open.
Agreed.
PFF didn't update yet but awful compared to his first game but better than the other first round QBs on the same day.
You don't need to work this hard to puff this guy up. I did not get to see the game, looking for some real information on his performance.
The Raiders gave up 42 points and that is valid information. You've made person nitpicks with my posts so let me return the favor you seem to discount and deconstruct things you don't want to hear so what information do you consider real information because if you are trying to project his production then start with the 42 and how that happened because you can bet that other teams will not want to give up 42 points and take their chances that they'll get 4 turnovers since the Raiders only forced one, the others were from a WR slip and batted ball, a bad center exchange when Mayfield was trying to audible and the center didn't realize he wasn't behind him, and a deep shot with 15 seconds left in regulation time. Three of those turnovers were gifts and which will get cleaned up.
