That's the weird part. I concede.....I can't defend that throw. Even after rewinding it 3 times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Broncofan Posted December 16, 2018 Author Share Posted December 16, 2018 13 minutes ago, kramxel said: He usually doesn't look bad, never mind THIS bad. To be balanced, 3 points to mitigate his performance: 1. It's a tough draw to play the DEN pass rush @ Mile High. 2. The pass rush has applied a fair amount of pressure. 3. As a rule, rookie QB's tend to struggle on the road. But, it's also fair to point out 3 things to detract from him: 1. His red-hot run came against 3 bottom 5 pass D's (CIN, KC, ATL), and then CAR, another vulnerable pass D. @HOU was the one hiccup, and it's followed a similar formula of being on the road, and having a fierce pass rush. So there was definitely some over-inflation in his hot run post-Hue firing. Just like projecting this as his floor is a bridge too far the other way. 2. When you look at all the rookie QB's, he's clearly been in the best situation - best OL, great RB & run game, a great schedule and an OC who gets the right matchups. And he's been playing ahead most of the games. That's the setup that's going to make a QB's performance play up. 3. Unlike @HOU, though, he's missed 5-6x where there's been no pressure. That's really hard to defend. I've said over and over that Darnold's been my top guy in the draft, and I also said I'd prefer Rosen to Mayfield. I do think I've been too hard on Mayfield pre-draft, because I don't think he's going to bust out - at worst, he'd be league average. And he's got some traits that have played up much better than I thought they would before the season began. Don't get me wrong, I think CLE will be very happy with Baker - but I also think the Q on who the best QB from the 2018 draft class is far from over (duh at Year 1, but it's been stated that it's a closed case, and I don't think that's at all the case).
