I am finally back! It has been too long
and thank you for everyone’s support thus far, I have amassed enough supporters
to finally start trying to make the move to podcasts and Youtube. Thank you again
to everyone that has supported me up to this point, I never expected to get the
views that I do, and I have no one to thank but you guys.
Enough of that, let’s get into football. There is something I
really have been wanting to get of my chest, and that is how NFL teams look at
players with the play style of Baker Mayfield’s. It DISGUSTS me that someone
like that can achieve the things they do at such a high level and be considered
to be a lower draft pick than the guy that just sits in the pocket all game.
Last season I said time and time again that Deshaun Watson was the best QB in
the draft, he just went back to back seasons of carving up Alabama’s defense
and grabbing a National Title for Clemson. He showed tremendous poise in the
pocket and when he needed to use his legs he did. Sure enough, he came into the
league and lit it on fire. So why did so many draft analysts have him as a mid
to late 1st round behind two other Qbs? Behind a one-year starter?? It
is happening to a much greater degree this year with Baker Mayfield. Baker Mayfield
is on FIRE and just put up 4 TDs against one of the better defenses in the
NCAA, and if you watched that game, he made it look easy. He clearly has the IT
factor that everyone loves to talk about because he is winning games. He has
thrown with a completion percentage of 71, 4340 passing yards with 41… yes 41
touchdowns and wait for it… 5 interceptions. These numbers are incredible. He has
tremendous poise in the pocket and will kill you with his quickness, not his
speed. He has the ability to extend plays much like Aaron Rodgers.
Sam Darnold is more of a pocket passer who is, moronically
ranked above Mayfield, has a completion percentage of 63.7, 3787 pass yards, 26
touchdowns and 12 interceptions and has struggled to win against average teams.
Lets look at another QB that’s ranked higher than Mayfield; Josh Rosen. First of
all, he lead them to a 6-6 record and plays in the pac-12 so let’s get that out
of the way first, second he has a completion percentage of 62.5, 3717 passing
yards and 10 interceptions but yet another pocket passing QB. I have been told
it’s because they have tremendous upside, but I fail to see how they have more
upside than Baker Mayfield, who can torch any defense in the NCAA like they’re
a bunch of JV football players. Mayfield is hands down the best QB in the draft
and it is astonishing that there is anyone ranked above him. It makes me sick
to my stomach that teams will pass on him to get the other guys. GROSS. I guess
that is why those top 10 teams in the draft always seem to stay in the top 10…
