Here is what he said about it:
I didn’t look at their playbook as much as a I should have,” Mayfield said. “It could have gone a little bit better .& #8200;.& #8200;. but at the same time, I’m prioritizing which playbooks I’m going to learn. No offense to them, but I’ve got a lot on my plate.”
Before their lunch, the Chargers had given Mayfield a handful of plays to study and then dissect—an exercise he had excelled at with other teams.
Im sorry but the red flags are flashing all over with this guy.

I would take him in a second, think he will be great.
Stop with the over analysis of a QB you clearly don't like.
The headband at the pro day and the ripping his shirt off at the combine just scream " egomaniac.
Please God no to Mayfield being a Giant.

Thank you.
And the Chargers pick 17th. The chances of him being available to them are slim and if he is, well they have plenty of film on the guy plus the combine and pro day. How much more do they need?
Makes no sense.

And, he probably doesnt want to sit behind Rivers for 3 years either.
See comments in-line. I am not a Mayfield proponent, but I do believe he will probably be a very successful QB in the NFL. In all honesty I don't want the Giants to draft a QB this year at #2. However, I believe the below stuff is overblown. There have been many Giant greats (let alone numerous other NFL players) who have done many of the same things. In many cases, worse.
Feb 7, 2018- Mayfield calls HS signee “naive” in a tweet for saying they would beat Oklahoma one day -- So?
Jan 1, 2018- angers Georgia by disrupting their warm ups by running routes -- Might not be cool, but there was clearly more than just Mayfield participating in this.
Nov 30, 2017 - Drills TCU player in head during warmups. Player was just returning from injury. Caught on video. --OK, This one is not cool.
Nov 18, 2017- Mayfield grabs crotch on sideline directed at Kansas. Mayfield benched for start of next game as result. -- I've done and seen far worse in competitive sports.
Oct 28, 2017- Wears Traitor T-shirt for game vs Texas Tech where he transferred from -- And yet, I still would have been happy with Patricia as our coach.
Sept 23, 2017- Tells Baylor players he will spank them during warmups cause they forgot he was there Daddy. Caught on video. --Trash talk is bad how?
Sept 10, 2017- plants Oklahama flag in middle of Ohio St field after win. Prompts Iowa to do this to OU after upset. Might be a dick move, but so? How many ppl on BBI laughed when Owens did a similar act against the Cowboys?
Feb 25, 2017- Mayfield arrested for public intoxication, disorderly conduct, resisting arrest and fleeing police. -At least he wasn't driving, and he is 20 something. We'd never have heard of this if he were not Baker Mayfield.
Video leaks of the arrest showing an officer tackling Mayfield into the ground and hitting head on concrete.
Dec 28, 2015- critiques TCU HC during presser. Prompts feud with him. See Nov 30, 2017 -- Again, who cares if he doesn't like an opposing team coach
A picture is being painted here is of a competitor, who may or may not have a bit of a nasty streak
In a vacuum I dont necessarily. But if you look at the full picture, it doesnt add up to a risk I would take. Too many things to chalk up and excuse.
I hope you aren't this bad with your kids.

And 23 year old Baker Mayfield who is finished playing and should be focused on getting drafted in the NFL (I guess he didnt have too much on his plate at this point) to put this kid down.
“This is what we call being naive. Kid has no idea what it’s like stepping into the Cotton Bowl. So here’s how it works… The team north of the Red River doesn’t flinch. But it’s okay, you’ll see for yourself, wish you the best.”
And he did it replying to his tweet so he directly took him on.
Im sorry but this is just weird and messed up. Kid is 17 and excited about big day and Mayfield has to trash him on Twitter when he should have a million other things to do. Combine that with all of theses other incidents and I would not take the risk on him.

Isnt it amazing that Rosen is the one who is considered to have “concerns” about his personality. But Mayfield has “moxie”.
Now make him the QB where he's the supposed leader of the team and wonder how you guys would fell about having that type of guy scrutinized each and every day?
Name the last NY player to be an arrogant ass who succeeded. Even A-Rod had to tone it down here, and still was perceived as a villian
Stop with this comparing what he did with Eli. Mayfield was arrested for Resisting Arrest and Fleeing Police. He was tackled by police and his head bounced off concrete. Mayfield was 22 years old.
It was not the same thing. The cops were actually called in the incident on mayfield.
And all caught on video.
Eli Manning was busted in a raid on college frat party. This is when the cops target a party en masse and go around and get whoever they can. They were not called on Eli for his behavior in public. Eli was 19 at the time.
The police in the end declined to press charges on Eli. Not the same for Mayfield.
What Mayfield did was not comparable to what Eli did. Look at the charges.
Not sure if that translates to the NFL, having opposing defenses despise you, probably will get you killed.
There is some horse trading and diplomacy between successful QBs and opposing defenses, best example is Strahan gently cradling and carressing Favre to the ground for his season record breaking sack.
"Opposing defenses going to hit him extra hard because of his personality, pass". That's a thing now?
"Opposing defenses going to hit him extra hard because of his personality, pass". That's a thing now?
add in "Oct 28, 2017- Wears Traitor T-shirt for game vs Texas Tech where he transferred from"

Fair enough, and I see your point, but as the 17 year old I guess I'd have used that as motivation. "Motivation" would have been my twitter response. Hope the kid does beat OU, because he then should really give it to Mayfield

The one that that really bothers me is the kid. This kid is 17 years old. Most important day of his life- signing day for a major national program and he tweets that they would one day beat their big rival.

Are we really discussing a little smack talk on twitter?
Jesus Christ - this is NFL football. He's a competitive son of a bitch. Sometimes he's allowed it to cause an issue, but its all about football and his sheer passion for the sport.
And everyone forgets that Eli was apprehended in college for Public Intoxication as well.
Baker has the "F*** You" attitude that rallies men and wins games, not disrupting locker rooms.

A lot of these antics play well with that crowd.
Im not sure how they play amongst professionals. Real men. Most 25-40. Now he’s the youngest.
Im not sure they play as well with say a 30 yr old Nate Solder who has some championship rings, a marriage and kids and is dealing with real serious ice & death stuff for his kids.

Shockey's star burned out pretty quickly here and he wasn't a QB. One potential good outcome if Mayfield is a Jet --maybe the focus and scrutiny will shift from OBJ to him.

He does yes. And it has been a whirlwind couple of weeks for him and he has no time to learn plays for a small fry franchise playing on a communist kickball field drafting 17th.
The Browns are now threatening to draft him 1 and I suspect you're going to hear stuff coming from the Mayfield camp (though not BM himself) that he will not play for the Browns.
Would be stunned if Cleveland doesn't take Darnold. You guys will if they don't. Though I think Mayfield would be great as a Giant throwing the deep ball to Beckham.
