I've always liked Mayfield, even though he's way too aggressive and throws really bad picks on the regular.
Still, it's good to have a few loose cannons playing QB and nobody can claim the guy isn't a gamer. He's certainly not afraid to make a mistake,
that is for sure. For better or worse, he doesn't appear to be worried about anything, ever.
The part of that impossible win that bothered me was that he looked more comfortable executing that Offense with 2 days in it than Mac
has for most of this season. It hurts to say that, but it's arguably true. 98 yards in a minute and a half with one time out throwing dimes. He was certainly in the flow of the
moment and deserves all the credit he is getting this morning. It'll be a game long remembered and few players have ever had such a transcendent game in the
middle of a dismal season.
I don't want to go overboard, because Baker won't play like this very often, if ever, and I'm still a Mac Jones guy, but it says SOMETHING that a 3-9
team can get a guy ready enough to win a game in no time at all.
What that something is will continue to be a matter of discussion around these parts for quite some time. No doubt, but the Matt Patricia experiment is continuing to
look like one of the biggest mistakes Bill has ever made and he's going to have to find a way to move on from it no matter how it has played out behind the scenes.
