The brilliance of Baker Mayfield: 2 plays that made me a believer

I believe he said he didn't have the guts to draft him at the time but wouldn't make that mistake again.

Yep that's what he said.

I hope we get that chance for his comments to be tested

oooo... just a glutton for disappointment, lol..

how many times does the "perfect" move have to be on the table? The redbirds screw up the perfect move every time...
I mean, holy crap,...T-Sizzle played right in their building every week...even on accident they had to have better scouting on him than any other team

I hear ya oak! Over the years the only 2 players that Big Red have drafted I badly wanted was twice, Fitz & Da Johnson.

I know it prolly won't happen just because BA likes big men behind center & I think that's a major mistake if he's on the board when Big Red is on the clock.

I think we will as fans will be hugely disappointed after a few years when this team drafts Rudolph or Josh Allen because he "fits" the profile. Then the cycle will start over ugh

Allen is the white version of Logan Thomas. Dude has a 55% completion rate, and sub 50% when he faces halfway marginal teams. And I don't want to hear crap about his team, because Carson Wentz had much better numbers in every single category with the same type of talent Allen has. His tape is awful...his numbers are awful...the only thing that's good about him is his size. Sound familiar? Logan Thomas.

Good post.

Mike Buck was 6' 4", and about 230 pounds. Prototypical NFL size. But only long-time-suffering Cardinals fans will even faintly remember that name.

lol....

Many disagree, but I am still on the Sam Darnold bandwagon... dude has all the measurables as well as decent mobility for a pocket passer. He is going through a maturing stage this season but I think he will come out of it stronger than before.
he has the benefit of fitting BA's style of pocket QB prototype while also being fairly mobile...I'm not too concerned by the picks...dude faces nfl level talent every week and makes some very ballsy throws... many guys have less picks,.. but they dont have the balls to make those throws.. he still needs to grow,... but if he sits behind Palmer next year,...well, win-win

I hear ya, he just concerns me because he's made throws this year that make you say "really? Wtf".

You watch, we will get 1 of the 2 I just said because that's what we do. Lol

I compared Sams stats to some other guys that made wtf type throws.... his college stats are better than both John Elway and Brett Favre................ and since he reminds me of Matt Stafford I checked his too... very similar college stats to matt stafford.
Sams YPA is better than all of them...dude throws down field...well, not gonna totally discount that some of his team mates go off a bit after the catch too.
the kid is gonna be good for somebody

I don’t like Allen at all, but the bold is simply just not true, lol.

How you figure? Last year, Allen had 3 receivers go into the NFL...2 of which are on practice squads, I believe...and he was still sub 55% completion. Allen's O-Line is crap though...so I have to give him that.

I meant moreso the talent part.

North Dakota State plays in the FCS, which is a step below the FBS in which Wyoming plays in. NDSU won the FCS championship for 3 straight years prior to Wentz even starting. He got injured for 8 games in 2015, & NDSU still went undefeated during that stretch. NDSU is pretty much the FCS version of Alabama.

Good point lol. Allen still couldn't hit the broad side of a barn...no matter who he played for lol
