AKRNA Posted December 16, 2018 Author Share Posted December 16, 2018 Really? Two weeks in a row we have the worst 2 minute drill ever. Maybe the Browns won't score. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's passed up open guys to try and make harder throws, that's he's missed badly on. And his trademark accuracy is nowhere to be seen. Frankly, my theory is that being this close to Keenum has somehow rubbed off on him. I know he's been far better than this, just crazy to see. He’s been meh all year. PFF had an article on how Mayfield isn’t any different now in terms of quality throws than he was under Hugh Jackson, the difference is he’s been better protected and they’ve schemed guys open better. He’s looked absolutely clueless when under pressure tonight, same as he was in college. This is the 1st time I’ve seen him this season, but he hasn’t changed my opinion of what I thought of him coming out. He’s a guy that needs a lot of things to be right (OL, running game, weapons, like he had at Oklahoma) for him to be successful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is probably Baker Mayfield's worst game - @HOU, he actually was just harassed all the time. We're getting to him some of the time, but thats 5-6x he's missed throws with no pressure, or made horrific decisions. It's kinda funny, Baker's definitely channeling his inner Keenum right now. The difference is, Baker's only played this badly 2-3x. We get Keenum mode pretty much each game. It's weird to see another team do it to match us lol.

I don't disagree at all with the comment about being under pressure - but he's been bad without pressure. That's the difference we don't usually see. I think Baker's been good enough he won't bust out. I do agree he's been put in the best situation possible and that makes everyone look a LOT better. But he's usually better than this. FWIW I thought Darnold had a fantastic game tonight, in a losing cause. I'd still stand by my belief when it's all said and done, barring injury, Darnold is still the top guy of this draft. But I've come around on Baker enough to see that he shouldn't be a bust - in other words, play like this tonight on a regular basis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s been off tonight. I also don’t think he’ll bust either and overall has had a terrific rookie year, just don’t see much improvement on his issues in college....yet, it could still very well happen.

DiehardBronxFan Posted December 16, 2018 Share Posted December 16, 2018 And yet I’d still take Baker any day over Keenum. Hell, except for Bortles, I’d take just about any QB in the league over a Keenum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Broncofan Posted December 16, 2018 Share Posted December 16, 2018 Jeff Holland's brought the heat 2 plays in a row. So glad he made it through the PS. Here to stay, baby. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DiehardBronxFan Posted December 16, 2018 Share Posted December 16, 2018 Whole lot of penalties on this defense the pat couple of weeks. And this game is almost unwatchable with a penalty on almost every other play.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't think anyone's suggesting otherwise, to be fair. It's just weird to see another team have a QB play horribly in the same ways as Keenum does.

DiehardBronxFan Posted December 16, 2018 Share Posted December 16, 2018 As far as the announcers go, pretty sure Baker is GOD! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Broncofan Posted December 16, 2018 Share Posted December 16, 2018 I'll give credit where it's due, Gotsis made a helluva play there. He's been pretty much a run stuffer, but that was a nice move to get to Baker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DiehardBronxFan Posted December 16, 2018 Share Posted December 16, 2018 Gotta give this D credit. They’ve been outplayed at time this year. They’ve been sloppy at times this year. They’ve been outschemed LOTS of times this year, but - outside of the Jets game - they’ve played hard and, on the whole, played well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DiehardBronxFan Posted December 16, 2018 Share Posted December 16, 2018 Is it just me, or can you almost always predict run or pass for the Broncos based on their formation? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
