The one thing we can say about Baker Mayfield is you either love him to death or hate him just as much. We do know Mayfield will not be the quarterback for the Cleveland Browns this upcoming season. Where could Baker Mayfield land? Is he the next Johnny Manziel or another first round bust. Let's look at some of these questions and how we see it here at Baseball Blogging Network.
One of the things I've been hearing which is so wrong and that is Baker Mayfield is a bust. He is far from that and here is why. He had some good seasons in Cleveland. They were not his best, but they were not terrible either. People have to consider many factors when evaluating Baker Mayfield as a quarterback. Yes when he was healthy he was a Top10 quarterback in the NFL. Unhealthy and he was like most quarterbacks he was not very good.
Where could Baker Mayfield take his next snaps at? Some people are hinting once cut he could be with the Detroit Lions or the Pittsburgh Steelers. Both teams have shown interest in him and either one probably could work for Mayfield. If Mayfield wants to see his full potential he may need to be a backup for a year or two. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers would be a perfect landing spot for him and here is why.
Mayfield would be able to learn from Tom Brady for one or two seasons. The experience he would get from this is invaluable to him becoming a better player. The Buccaneers have the team in place that could plug Mayfield in and he could be an instant success. Offensively, the Buccaneers have talented receivers with one of the best offensive lines. They have a great offensive coaches with Byron Leftwich leading the way.
Baker Mayfield has to check his ego at the door and become a team player, but once he does once Tom Brady retires the keys to the team will be his. The question is can Baker Mayfield sit and learn from the master.
