Baker Mayfield In A Boot
December 2nd, 2024
Das Boot.
This is very likely just precautionary, as Baker Mayfield returned to the game and sure didn’t play like he had a sprained ankle or worse.
Long-time Panthers beat guy Joe Person, who now covers the team for The Athletic, Twittered out last night that Mayfield was walking around the Bucs’ locker room wearing a boot on his right foot.
That’s the same foot stomped on by Jadeveon Clowney in the second half of the game. Mayfield missed two plays while being evaluated and treated in the peep show tent.
Joe guesses Mayfield will be a very sort MOFO today. And it wouldn’t shock Joe if Mayfield misses a practice or two.
As tough as Mayfield is, Joe guesses horses wouldn’t be able to drag him off the field of The Licht House next Sunday.

Baker could be in an iron lung, he would demand to be wheeled out onto the field. The one time I have ever felt that Glennon should have been left on the field to hand off for another play or two was right before Baker came in and threw that horrendous second pick. A strong head coach decides and tells the player what’s happening. “Baker, you’re sitting this series out to rest up.” Our pillow soft, Cover Who guy apparently is too scared to run the team.
Fire him.

He should have sat the series, it was stupid to put him in. And on 3rd & 1, a pass? Stupid. Not sitting him the series is on Bowles. Passing play is on Coen.

Baker is a beast every single time. Especially when hurt. A boot won’t get him down. That cleat going into his ankle looked really bad and dirty. The Panthers celebrated early and then got beat. Stunned them in the end.
Good for Baker always giving kudos to the other team players too. Go Bucs!

heyjude I didn’t see that coming. Anytime you go on the road against a division rival a win is big. We should have lost that game except for the two biggest plays of the game. Made by Anthony Nelson and Rachaad White. Oh yeah and having a QB who in half a minute drove us to a game tying score. I get a little over optimistic at times. And why not-Baker is a beast every single time.

He definitely has a sprained ankle. If you ever sprained your ankle mid game you know that it’s something guys can play through at the time but he will not be practicing this week after it swells up.

Baker knows how bad Trask is lol.

Well at least Trask got to play in a real game. lol. Baker is a junk yard dog that never quits, I suspect he will be fine in a few days.

might be good because then we will run the ball more lmao

Clowney has always been a dirty clown…

Poor Trask, he will never get on the field as long as Baker is conscious.

Get up by 28 in the first half and then pull him. Surely Trask can hand the ball off 20 times in the second half.

Ankles don’t get sprained by being stomped on. You Armchair Doctors are as clueless about injuries as you are about football. Sometimes, when you don’t know something, it’s best just to STFU.

Nope, they get broken or worse depending on the ferocity of the stomper. The problem is when will Baker’s injuries start affecting games? Just cos he finally has to sit, and let Trask finish, doesn’t mean he’s getting cut by the team. Are you kidding?? Look at the big raise he got in the off-season. I hope he’s not turning into a paranoid about his job security. Sheesh!

Not sure it was the same play…but Goedke was manhandling Clowney and the guard ( maybe Mauch or the backup guard ) inadvertently shoved Clowney into Mayfield. Just a weird play in a game with many weird plays.

Clearly wasn’t the same play…I was relegated to Red Zone and because of that…missed that play and the entire OT ( dumb rule that it goes offline when there’s only one game remaining on air ). Thankfully it didn’t torpedo Baker and The Bucs’ season. Come on, Clowney!
