Demeanor-wise Mayfield reminds me of Joe Montana. If you looked at Montana on the sidelines you couldn't tell if he just threw an interception or completed one for a touchdown. It was all about the next possession like he had no short term memory.
He's still too inconsistent. Way too many overthrows. That will burn us if he doesn't learn to calm down soon. Otherwise, great example of Sooner Magic!
We got who we got. Compared to TK, Mayfield is an upgrade and more entertaining to watch. It is just a game after all.
Considering half the night he was running for his life, I don't think you can conclude that. I'd like to see what he could do with a bit of protection, and some receivers (OTHER than Shep) who hang on to the dang ball!
It's going to be a love hate thing with him. I told my wife that he reminds me of tebow. Hear me out. Tebow wasn't the best college QB. Not the most accurate, but he finds a way to make **** happen. That little jump pass to perine for a td, scrambling out of pressure. He definable has his flaws, and he may drive us nuts, but he is scrappy, works hard, and never quits.
I won't hate a player that puts it out there like that. If he's got limits, so be it as long as he practices hard and plays hard.
....everyone is quick to judge or critique but seem to overlook the fact that he is very early in his college career ss
The only thing Baker has proven to be better at than TK is beating up on bad opponents. They're both really up and down, and I don't think I would call last nights performance impressive. It was a gutsy finish, and that's exciting, but it was an overall poor performance. I hope he has a great year, though, and I'm not calling for TK back in the starting lineup.
BS...I think considering the circumstances, Baker had a great game... a lot of the **** in the first half was not his fault (penalties, drops, no protection, etc.)... I'm impressed with his smart decision making & ability to continue playing regardless of what happened last play...
....crapola...Tennessee is not a bad opponent, his first pick was a deflection, had a lot of impressive throws that were spot on and with touch, extended and kept plays alive....most importantly he was a leader....and then he did the whip ....it was his second start....judge at the end of the year ss
