Re: Baker Mayfield sucks
FWIW, Peyton started making commercials in 2004, according to IMDb. He'd already been in the league over five years, took home the MVP in 2003 and was consistently winning and going to the playoffs since 1999 (excluding 2001). Apples to oranges indeed.
The wording of my original post about him making commercials instead of honing his craft was more about his attitude than anything else."Put your goggles on, 'cause there's gonna be blood and guts everywhere!" - SSSr

Re: Baker Mayfield sucks
Nope, we can’t all agree with that last point lol. I think it reflected the fact that he’s just not good enough right now. Dude has clearly worked his ass off to get to where he is and I find it exceedingly unlikely to think his work ethic suddenly ground to a halt once he reached the NFL.

Re: Baker Mayfield sucks
No, that’s being a self-important, narcissistic asshole where I come from.
That same quote talked about how he is constantly breaking down his own film looking for mistakes. He doesn’t work smart, and he thinks he has all the answers, which he clearly doesn’t. But that doesn’t mean he’s not working hard.

Re: Baker Mayfield sucks
I'm not saying I agree or disagree NJ, but I find it perplexing that you are so adamant that his work ethic DIDN'T fall off a cliff. There have been hundred of cases of that exact thing happening. I don't know Baker personally, so I have no reason to believe that the scenario where he felt like he made it and slacked off is not believable. People gave Hue tons of shit for not playing him early, and yes Hue sucked as a head coach, but maybe Hue also knew that Baker wasn't putting in the work needed to sustain success at this level whereas as far as Greg Robinson was concerned, he just maybe didn't give a fuck. When you are the "interim" you are much more likely to do what the folks upstairs want. Granted it's all conjecture on my part, but so is your insistence that Baker didn't pull a Jamarcus...or a Haynesworth...or a Leaf...or a <insert name here of guy that rested on laurels after getting paid>.

Re: Baker Mayfield sucks
Basically I don’t think Baker thinks he’s “made it” yet. He seems hyper-competitive to me, and I genuinely think he does care about winning. Just doesn’t really know how to go about that.
I don’t know what Jamarcus and Leaf have to do with him, they were never known for their work ethic. They were just supremely talented dudes who had jobs handed to them their entire lives. They’re probably the worst examples you could’ve pulled. Baker has had to work his ass off for everything he’s ever gotten in football.
