Nice Article/Interview for Baker Mayfield Enthusiasts
-
& OTOH, just because a guy is from a power 5 school other than Big 12, doesn't mean he's any less of a risk. Between Carson Palmer and Sam Darnold, USC churned out notable busts like Matt Leinart and Mark Sanchez,
Not to mention guys like Jake Locker, Ryan Leaf, Cade McNown, Akili Smith, Kyle Boller, and Todd Marijuanavich also came out of the Pac 12. None of them became as good as Troy Aikman. You draft the player - not the conference.
And just because Notre Dame's Joe Montana and Joe Theisman became great NFL QBs - that didn't mean Brady Quinn, Rick Mirer and DeShone Kizer would be great QBs too. You draft the player - not the school.
Just because the U QBs like Jim Kelly, Bernie Kosar and Vinny Testaverde all became solid-great NFL starters - it never meant or guaranteed Craig Erickson, Gino Toretta, Steve Walsh, and Ken Dorsey would be just as good.
Bob Griese and Drew Brees succeeding in the NFL after Purdue never meant Mike Phipps and Kyle Orton would as well.
Speaking of conferences, it wasn't like the one Carson Wentz came out of was stock-piling the NFL right?

Excellent post Tom! Now we just have to wait & see which player(s) Dorsey & Staff like. I can't wait for this draft!!!

Um, yea, fair point. But....
At some point in time...sure, some Big 12 QB has to break that conferences trend of not producing very good QBs. Maybe Doolin' Dalton has done it a bit. Maybe Mahomes can. Maybe Mayfield can. But: Vince Young couldn't, Colt couldn't. RGIII couldn't ultimately. Bradford really couldn't. They were all pretty much rated as highly as Mayfield. Those guys have a collection of 2-3 Heisman's. Throw Jason White in there.
But its just terrible to have to go back to the likes of Bobby Layne, Sammy Baugh, John Hadl to find a decent B12 QB. Teams have more success with the "smaller schools" than they have had with Big 12 schools. Derek Carr, BR, Wentz, Flacco, maybe Garropolo if he becomes all that.etc. all smaller schools.
I still think you got to look at the player more than the school or conference. That's not to say I don't want to see how prospects did against the biggest challenges on their schedule.

Problem is the lesser schools, you just don't get to see many (if any) of their games. Only got to see MIke White at the Senior Bowl. ESPN did us amateur scouts a favor showing a bunch of Josh Allen's games, since he's a highly regarded prospect in some corners..Unfortunately I didn't like what I saw. Watching Foles & Brady in the Super Bowl, I'm more convinced than ever having a rocket launcher arm is a plus, but not necessary for NFL success. Plenty of slow moving rainbows tossed by both QBs- the key there was they were accurate.
PS- Regarding the SB, there was an amazing stat I saw tonight on Fox Ohio's Red Zone. The Patriots didn't punt the entire game- and still lost.

3 weeks until the combine. I like watching that. Usually have excellent commentary going on throughout, both about the history on players as well as their performances in the various events. Tues. Feb 27-Monday March 5.

And played in a Dome
..Imagine Brady's numbers if half his games were in a dome. Brees & C. Keenum dropped many dimes in that same dome 2 weeks ago..Not many good numbers on Keenum outdoors. Strafford & Ryan maybe the best that can take some off to drop ball in from dome to outdoors? If ya like Mike White watch some tape on Luke Falk. Reminds me of Nick Foles running RPO's

Sure...you can look at the player...not the conference.....but when you have SO many QBs from the same conference become abject failures in this league.....there must be a reason.
So...can you explain it?

It would take some doing to correlate starting NFL QBs by conference. A lot of the Big 12 flops never had me saying, wow, this guy looks like a potentially great NFL QB. Bradford may have made it to that level if he wasn't always hurt. Aikman started in the Big 12 before he transferred.

It was probably still The Big 8 when Aikman was there.
I think, maybe, that the reason that Aikman left OK is part of the reason that the Big 12 does not produce good NFL QBs. Aikman WAS a top NFL prospect....but the style of play in that conference was...and has not so much, been conducive to a pocket passer. The wide open spread type offenses just do not train QBs for the NFL.
Maybe a bit has changed. As noted....Dalton has had some success. And...to my mind...I think that it is highly possible that a Mason Rudolph....more of a pocket passer....could have more NFL success than Baker Mayfield. We shall see.

True Rudolph is more of a pocket passer, but has far more flaws in his game than Mayfield. I've noted Mason is extremely well spoken in his interview at the Senior Bowl. I will dang guarantee you Baker will go off the board long before Mason does..
BTW, that CBS Mock that you were loving on has dropped Rudolph from #1 down to #21- Buffalo. They have Mayfield going #6 to the Jets, but if Denver doesn't land Cousins- he doesn't drop farther than #5, I've been saying for weeks the Colts are open for business and will listen to any offers for their #3 if anyone want to trade up for a QB. They have the Browns drafting Darnold #1- which I can get behind, They have us taking Joshua Jackson at #4, and that's the first time I've seen him going that thigh. Walter Football does have him rated as the #1 CB prospect, and Lord knows we need some help there. PS- Po is going to be so disappointed his bestest ever RB drops to #9 to San Fran.
-
Short and a Big 12 QB. The only thing that could make it worse would be off the fie....
-
He would embrace being the number 1 pick? No way. How nice of him.

I don't know that he has more flaws. What are those flaws? While maybe Mayfield may go off the board before Rudolph....that does not mean he will be a better pro QB than Rudolph.

See...this is where even YOU have to learn the difference between a talent ranking and a mock draft. Mock drafts are designed to predict what NFL teams will do in the draft....NOT what the best talent is. A whole lotta rankings have Barkley as the best talent in this draft....but very few mock him to the Browns. Mocks are projections of what the person making it thinks what a team WILL do...not what they SHOULD do.

Yada, yada. I KNOW. Walter Football has Rudolph ranked as the #7th Qb, some scouts Walt talked to have him as a day three prospect. NFL.com ditto, 7th ranked QB prospect. Jeremiah doesn't even have Rudolph in his top 50 prospects (all positions). If you want to think we should draft Rudolph in the top 4, that's going to be a very minority opinion.

How many star QBs did Syracuse and Pitt put in the NFL prior to McNabb and Marino? And how about So Miss before Favre? And Alcorn State before Steve McNair? And how about Miami of Ohio before Ben Rapen? Wisconsin before Russell Wilson (who transferred to Wisconsin)?
The problem I see in college football is the type of offenses QBs are being trained in haven't always been compatible to many NFL Offenses/Coaching Staffs/Systems/etc. The ones that are willing to utilize some of the offenses these kids come from seem to get more out of a Cam Newton or take your pick of an example.
We don't have time to get into detail. You just have to watch the QB enough to make a confident prediction. Some guys take time like Drew Drew Brees. After his 3rd year wth SD sporting the worst NFL record - they used their #1 overall pick on a QB. The rookie QB held out and Brees went 12-4 and made the Pro Bowl. Not everyone emerges at the same rate depending on what they have to overcome in learning curve and surrounding talent, etc.
Mayfield isn't going to be for everyone in here as you can see.

I am a HUGE Baker Mayfield Fan. Interesting take here... https://www.dawgsbynature.com/2018/2/8/16953726/krupkas-baker-mayfield-film-room
That being said, I am most excited about the Team of successful football guys that we now have doing the selecting, so I'll be good with whomever their choice(s) may be.

I have been reading that Rudolph is sort of a one trick pony. He has a great talent for looking, finding, and hitting the long pass. But is not so good at throwing the out patterns, which is a must in nfl.
I have been saying that Indys #3 pick is key to the first round of picks. Ideally the Brown's should quickly deal their 4th pick with their late 2nd for it. Then if want Mayfly over Darnold or whoever, they can take Barkley/Fitz/Chubb at one, or still take qb at one and trade three on draft day to highest bidder getting a boatload more picks or stock up for next year's draft.
Mayfly just doesn't warrant the number one pick.
-
Here's where I'm at now: If there was a way to combine 2 qb's, I'd smush together Josh Rosen and Baker Mayfield. I love the physical aspects of Rosen and the way he spins the rock, but I really believe the intangibles of Mayfield are going to prove invaluable. Our team is historically awful, and we need a guy who just isn't afraid of our challenge, but who EMBRACES it. I'm placing a very high importance on this, and I think our GM will too.
This is not a dig on Rosen, as I still believe he's the best "start now" prospect entering the draft. But that's not the only thing to look at concerning our unique situation because we've just been THAT bad. We need a guy who can lift our team up, inspire greatness from others, and someone who won't accept continuous losing. Just watch Baker before his college games. Watch how infectious his attitude is, his fire, drive...and check out how his team responds. They're jumping around him, bouncing around, completely ready to go into battle. Baker is also very accurate and really attacks the middle of the field VERY well.
At this early stage, my guy is Mayfield, and I think that's where we are leaning at this moment.
-
Hard to disagree with flugel on just about anything. I guess if there was a gun to my head I would take Rosen or Darnold. But I would not be the slightest bit unhappy if they took Mayfield especially at number 4.
It really is hard not to like the kid. As far as pre-draft interviews, seriously, who cares? Unless a kid came out and said man I want to play for the Browns even if they trade down to the second round to get me. Everybody wants to be picked high and everybody wants to take that team to the promised land. And there's no reason to believe that he's a head case. I really liked Johnny but he had serious mental problems, that had nothing to do with what conference he played in or how tall he was.
Plus, for what it's worth, Bob Stoops loves the kid.
Grabbing his pecker towards the opponent? Good. We could use a little bit of the ghost of Chris gardocki.
