You know, we CAN just agree to disagree. I don't like the posturing. You do. To each his own.
I see a lot of Favre, Brees, and Rivers in him. He will last a decade or more in the NFL.Say what you will about Mayfield but I think he is a competitor - albeit sometimes misguided - and I think he can offer respect to other competitors who best him. He seems to have a hard time with the respect of competitors who he bests at times, though.

As if Tom Brady, Aaron Rodgers, etc. haven't acted in ways Baker gets knocked for. They all have huge egos. It's a sport where people bash each other. I never understood the idea that these people need to be all goody goody. It's fun to see personalities!
I honestly like Mayfield, and hope he does well. Something that irked me this morning, I was listening to Golic and Wingo (wrong choice to begin with), and Wingo said something to the effect of everyone in the Big 12 is accurate since big 12 doesn't play any defense, as a way to diminish Mayfield. Such a stupid take. Mayfield has a strong arm, doesn't run that often, but uses feet to move around, and can hit all the throws. I agree with your comparisons.

So you've seen Aaron Rodgers and Tom Brady grab their crotch and yell '**** You' at people in public?
I’m so tired of that Big12 narrative. Especially after last season. But there is always that one shootout once or twice a year that defines the D of the entire conference. It’s a lazy take by national pundits who have b1g or sec bias.
That was certainly over the top, but let's not act like those two are saints on a football field, either.
You must be a Mayfield fan then. He didn't win the Heisman with his personality.I prefer skill. To each his own.

I am not saying he doesn't have skill. I'm just saying I don't care to watch attitude. And no, I'm not a fan, primarily due to some of the antics above.You must be a Mayfield fan then. He didn't win the Heisman with his personality.
My prediction is Baker Mayfield joins the long list of bad Browns draft picks.
It’s funny to listen to the sports pundits talk about how he’s not your typical NFL quarterback and his swagger will help him. They said the exact same stuff about Manziel. Admittedly Mayfield is a far more accurate passer than Manziel ever was but mental and maturity lapses don’t just magically go away.
