Weekday Communicator Baker Mayfield
December 11th, 2024
Interesting insight into the Bucs’ franchise quarterback.
Tight end Cade Otton (Pro Bowler?) hopped on SiriusXM NFL Radio recently and explained that Baker Mayfield is an A+ communicator.
He said there are so many examples during weekday practices. And by the time a game rolls around, per Otton, pass catchers know what Mayfield is thinking versus certain defensive looks.
“An eight-play period in practice, afterwards we get back behind the plays and he just talks through what he’s seeing,” Otton said. “… Over time that just allows for chemistry to grow and it’s the type of leader he is. … Everyone on the team can really testify to that.”
Joe has heard from players how detailed Mayfield is in a regular-guy, we’re-in-this-together way, versus how Tom Brady was more serious and business-like.
Only four teams this season have scored more than the Bucs, whose offense has survived various injuries.
That’s quite an accomplishment with a new offensive coordinator. So Mayfield is clearly getting his messages through.

I’ll bet Godwin is putting weight on that ankle by now and getting along into the rehab process. I’d like to see him on the field by the NFC championship game. It’d be great seeing him on a new 3 year contract running onto the field in Detroit for our first drive!

Baker Mayfield is a great leader.

It’s clear he really works on the relationships and prepares.
I think he needs to use his tight ends more inside, while working the sidelines with Mike Evans And McMillan and using Shepherd as the slot receiver.

Dang Kenton that’s some serious optimism right there!
I had to double check that I was on the JBF comments section.

Favorite Bucs QB of all time
Big arm, tough, gritty, has good awareness and wheels.
Would run through a brick wall for his teammates.

Baker needs to really get heavy with JMac. Palmer may already be toast.

Makes everyone better when you have a guy who can tell you exactly what is expected. Then you have everyone on the same page.
Some sloppy play lately from a few guys though. Procedure/False start penalties in particular. That stuff drives me nuts. Not to mention phantom holding calls…..
Go Bucs!

It is not helpful to compare Baker to the GOAT. Get some rings first. Having said that Baker is just being himself and does things his own way. Following the GOAT was always going to be a tall order. At a bargain basement price last year and mid range salary this year Bakes has done a fantastic job.

Imagine if Baker had more time in the pocket. Baker is an inspiration and a leader of Men.
