for Baker. Mayfield trying to put himself in position to be
in the conversation for potential starting quarterbacks
house where he did everything he could to try to win the game
and you've got Bobby Wagner going back to Seattle.
He did everything he could Sean mcveigh's last game. I picked
the Rams to win because I thought they really would
because the Seahawks kind of had that,
you know,
attitude justifiably to some extent. Well the lines and
Packers game isn't the same time as ours, what matters
If we you know you could bet that it's good to Pete. Carroll
didn't let that creep in fully, he shut it down last week
because that's a loser's mentality. And if you're caught
up in that, what's going to happen,
you're going to end up losing the game
to the Rams and then it's moot. If the Lions beat the Packers
so good for the Seahawks to hold on and go for the Rams to
give them a good game. It was you know on a day
that was devoid of many, good games.
That was at least one of the few we can point to.
Yeah, it was I mean,
you know, it's interesting to me to Mike is the baker
Mayfield after the game. Talking about, you know, I know
I'm a starting quarterback in this league
and I don't personally know that. I mean I think that Baker
Mayfield could be. Maybe somebody's Bridge starter for
2023. Allah Mitchell, true Biscay. But
you know, he put some good things on tape for the Rams
certainly better things than he put on tape for the Carolina
Panthers. I mean he was one of if not the worst starting
quarterback in the National Football League in 2022
when he got released by the Panthers. And so
this, at least showed that, yeah,
Yeah, there is still some talent and ability for
Mayfield, but Mike, I don't know. What do you think about
Mayfield's prospects going into 23? Well, there's another guy
who, when we last heard from him was saying, he's one of
the best 32 quarterbacks in the NFL
right now, and his name's Cam Newton, his phone didn't ring
all year. And I make that comparison because with Baker
Mayfield,
when you bring that big personality with you, which
Baker Mayfield, does he did a good job in Carolina of kind of
keeping it under wraps. As far as we know, we don't know what
they do.
With behind closed doors, but publicly
he wasn't Brash, he didn't fight with reporters a lot of
the behaviors. We saw in his first four years with
the Browns, didn't translate to the Panthers which tells me he's
got some self-awareness,
but to come out and say,
after yesterday's performance, I'm,
you know, I understand you have to be confident
but the market will determine whether or not, he's a starter
Baker. Mayfield does not
have a vote on whether or not he's a Starter, there's 32
teams
more than half of them are going to be thinking about
their options at quarterback for 2023 and they know Mayfield
is available. So we'll find out the market will dictate whether
or not Baker. Mayfield is a starter but you're
right miles. He may end up in a situation. You mentioned true
Biscay. I don't think you want Mayfield in that spot. The same
reason you don't want Cam Newton in that spot
because Mayfield will not be thrilled
about being sent to the bench
for a Kenny picket
or Trevor Young quarterback. It is when they decide the time
has come to make the change and you know there's been talk
about Mayfield staying in La for a year and maybe it would
be good
for me to back up Matthew Stafford. It said well if
you're gonna be a new coach, we don't know yet, right? That
that puts that situation into turmoil as well. So
look, I still think he can play
better than a lot of the guys that got trotted out yesterday.
Is that enough to be a starter week in and week out and, you
know, it A far cry from what we thought he was going to be
based
on two of his first three NFL seasons. Just two years ago
after 2020, they win a playoff game Pittsburgh, we think this
guy is on his way to a big contract and
you know, if he doesn't
if he doesn't try to make a tackle
after a turnover week to against the Texans in 2021, who
knows what would have played out differently and I think
that's the thing that keeps him in play. You get him into a
into a system in an organization
early enough and you get improperly prepared.
You Somebody who believes in Him, somebody who buys in
completely, maybe he could still be the guy that we saw in
2018 and 2020, but, but I just don't know at this point and
who's going to stake their career,
their future, their prospects
on that roll of the dice that they're going to get
the absolute most out of Baker, Mayfield? I don't know who's
going to do it miles.
Yeah, I don't either and that's kind of the issue that he's
going to run into its, you know, what is the exact right
system for Baker, Mayfield? What?
Is the right situation who is the right coach, you know, who
are the right guys? In terms of your skill players, that are
around him, that can maximize his skill set, and you're right
man, I mean,
if Sean McVeigh is not there, that changes the entire equation
for the Los Angeles. Rams, not just with Baker Mayfield, but
for a lot of other positions and a lot of other people too.
So that's the first Domino. That's got a fall there in
order to say. All right? Well, this is what the Rams are then
going to be able to do. And frankly, if I'm
Baker Mayfield I would
if some big bass Not there.
But the 20-23. Los Angeles Rams. I don't know that.
I would want to be there either.
