mjp28 Posted December 30, 2019 Report Share Posted December 30, 2019 Mayfield may have great quarterbacking skills but he needs to mature as a true team leader. Spirit, no problem but he needs to have more self control. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SdBacker80 Posted December 30, 2019 Report Share Posted December 30, 2019 I can’t understand what the Cincinnatucki fans are saying. hopefully next year Baker ignores the chatter performs well and stays out of the media cross hairs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tour2ma Posted December 30, 2019 Report Share Posted December 30, 2019 This is part of the package that is Baker... for now. It's part of his process of getting fired up. I've no doubt he did the same in BLT and PTG this season. He may grow out of it, but you can't coach it out of him. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Furious Styles Posted December 31, 2019 Report Share Posted December 31, 2019 The NFL has a way of teaching arrogant young players humility. Bakers attitude motivates defenders to a higher degree of effort/aggression in my opinion. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It definitely scares me, and as an athlete, you have to know people will unfortunately say WHATEVER they can in order to get under someone's skin. It's ugly, sad, and being an athlete shouldn't entitle a person to receiving verbal punishment. I can really see Baker losing his shit one day and it hurting the team. Either when he's out on the town, drunk with friends, or whatever. Somebody will try to piss Baker off, and he'll eventually take the bait.

calfoxwc Posted December 31, 2019 Report Share Posted December 31, 2019 Oh, Baker isn't perfect, but a lot of leaders are envied for being who they are, and there surely are nutjobs who want to get a piece of famous action with them for some stupidass reason. It's part of their frustrating season. But he is very, very smart - he'll grow out of it. to a point. lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ibleedbrown Posted December 31, 2019 Report Share Posted December 31, 2019 “Why don’t you say that to my face” is straight outta the 12 year old’s handbook of retorts. If my QB is hellbent on juvenile smack talk like this, l would prefer he use the 8 year old’s handbook of retorts. “Oh yeah, you’re a buttface!” That would be much more amusing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldBrownsFan Posted December 31, 2019 Report Share Posted December 31, 2019 Mayfield impressed me with his maturity in how he handled the situation with Myles Garrett. Right after the Steelers game he was interviewed and said what Garrett did was inexcusable and he represented himself and the Browns team well. I like his passion which is a strength not a weakness. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hx214 Posted December 31, 2019 Report Share Posted December 31, 2019 I still don’t understand what the exchange is here and why it was a big deal. The Yahoo article says, “Baker Mayfield totally shut down by fans!” the Cincy fans yell “You better not lose to a one win team!” Baker says “Come down here and say that to my face” fan says, “We’re aren’t allowed, you know that” Shut down by fan? WTF does any of that even mean? I don’t even think Baker was responding to the guy taking the video.... as that conversation makes zero sense.

Mayfield is a guy who trolled some 18 year old kid's Twitter feed because the kid had the audacity to be happy he chose to play football for the University of Texas. I'm thoroughly sick of hearing what type of leader he is, how he does shit like this to get him psyched up, whatever. Baker is your garden variety smug frat boy asshole.

It really felt to me like Baker came into 2019 more than a little satisfied with himself and had to generate his game-fueling "passion" (read "anger") by unnatural means. And it's understandable since it was the first year he did not have to battle for his job, had a new wife/life and the love of an entire city. For 2020 he's got plenty of fuel. Let's see what he does with it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watching your QB handing more INTs than TDs and making more commercials than big plays is quite embarrassing. Shut the chatter with your game, Baker. You, as of today, are literally a nobody.
