I hope that Baker Mayfield does well enough this upcoming season that Progressive resumes its “At Home With Baker Mayfield” line of commercials. The man is a really talented comedic actor.
Baker showed so much potential as a rookie and just has been inconsistent since then, until last year at least. Then again, Darnold and Rosen were also good prospects and they more or less busted. Weird class.
Which is weird considering Allen's college tape was awful.
Considering how quick teams are to move on from QBs, how much longer QBs are playing, how expensive second QB contracts are, how QBs are less and less finishing their careers with one team, and how important supporting cast is, I'm wondering if we'll see more second act breakouts for good but not great QBs a la Baker, Goff, Tannehill. If there are enough of those serviceable guys it could get to the point where you take them for a year or two instead of overpaying your young guy, although we're definitely nowhere near that point. As a Giants fan I'm kind of hoping Jones can find a good situation and pleasantly surprise some other team, as it's likely not going to workout with the Giants at this point considering how they're just in a constant rebuild these days.
Probably will see more second-act breakouts, especially with how impatient franchises are with their young QBs. They play them right away and are quick to move on when they don't have instant success. Which leads to these 2nd-act QBs. Still surprised over what the Browns did with Baker. Also amazing to think back to someone like Phil Simms, who was drafted in 79 and was still being boo'd in '86 until his Super Bowl XXI performance. We'll never see an 8-year leash like that again

Agreed

Very weird class. Lots of talent but only Allen/Lamar became franchise QBs. Although Baker has a chance now potentially
