Baker Mayfield on Daniel Jones Pick

armstead98 : 8/20/2019 8:30 am
“I cannot believe the Giants took Daniel Jones. Blows my mind…Some people overthink it [what makes a good quarterback]. That’s where they go wrong. They forget you’ve gotta win.”

From the GQ article.

those who weren't will still not be his fans. Eh...it'll blow over when the next story comes out about something else.

Once again, none of you would give a shit if some player came out and said that OBJ was a dickball...actually most of you will agree with that player and cheer him on. It's a big fucking who gives a fuck.



Your analogy sucks. People give a shit because who the fuck is Mayfield to open his mouth criticizing the NYG draft pick? GTFO. Worry about the fucking browns.


Meh...who cares?

is a world class douche. Not some misunderstood great guy.

NFL QBs are a fraternity where they don't talk sh#t about eachother but of course, Mayfield isn't smart enough.
The BBI white knights are out in force today

If Mayfield had said this about, say, Sam Darnold, few people here would be getting the vapors.

Jets fans would be.

So would some of the Sam Darnold fan club on BBI. You're fooling yourself if you think it wouldn't get any play.
This was why I said at the time of his draft that  
.McL. : 8/20/2019 2:10 pm : link
Mayfield was the best QB and really the only QB worth taking at picks 1 or 2 in that draft, but that he made no sense for NY. His personality would cause too many problems in NYC.
Well, yes, Jet fans would be  
Greg from LI : 8/20/2019 2:11 pm : link
Which was my point - the notion that this is going to have some kind of real repercussions for Mayfield is silly. No one other than Giants fans actually cares about this, especially since most fans of other teams have mocked the Giants for picking Jones.
Mayfield's responsibility is to get his players on board with him.  
Zeke's Alibi : 8/20/2019 2:13 pm : link
Does anyone not see this as an opportunity to connect with Odell, since Odell is having an existential meltdown about the Giants (wrongly). Kind of like if you break up with a girl and your buddy says fuck that bitch, she's a disaster waiting to happen, you'll do better.

Exactly, the only people that Mayfield is concerned with are the ones that wear Brown. It isn't like we are a divisional rival and he is creating bulletin board material for the end of time.

Well what do you mean by "real repercussions"? Colin Cowherd just went on a 5 minute rant about it, no mention of the Giants at all. If you search "baker mayfield" on Twitter right now, all of the national guys are talking about it, and there are very active and vocal comments from fans of all teams there....

So I don't know what you mean by "real repercussions".... It's a bad look. That's the only repercussion, and people have taken notice.

There was a story that was printed that was posted on Reddit that I thought was funny. He was in NC with his sister at a deli right after the draft and ESPN was on the tv doing something about the Knicks and the owner was talking about Kristaps.

Intrigued he asked if the guy was a fan of other New York Teams. He gets all animated and is like don't even get me started on the Giants! Daniel Jones WTF! Daniel Jones replies yeh I can't believe they did that. His sister asked him why he didn't say anything and he said something along the lines of it wasn't worth my time or I'll have time to win him over. I wish I could find the article!

This Guy is a tremendous fucking asshole. You need to be a lot more like Eli demeanor-wise to win in the nfl. This Guy is a prick who seems to be reading every story written about him-hell never last unless he changes that. To say something like that about a QB you didn’t know anything about is pretty damn obnoxious.

Also to the previous poster-I think the Browns are butthurt, especially Beckham, to keep talking about the Giants as much as they do.

You know what I think's hilarious?

Calling a draft pick dumb or mind-blowing before you see how it pans out.

But that's where we're at as a society today. An unbelievable amount of morons rabble-rabbling away, Mayfield being one of them.

It will make Jones being good all the sweeter. Because he clearly is, and anyone who watched him at Duke knows that.

Cowherd has a stick up his ass about Baker. Why anyone listens to him at all is ponderous, his constant comparing everything to corporate America and business is fucking tedious. He deifies corporations for some weird reason.
Part of me wishes Baker was the Giants QB and Trevor Bauer

You really think this shouldn't get any play here? That baffles me. This is a Giants fan site, in case some of you need a reminder. Not a court of law.

I agree that it's stupid. And no one is saying Mayfield isn't stupid for doing it himself. But the level of butthurt it appears that BBI'ers are experiencing is truly comical. Half the guys in this threat probably hated the pick and said the same shit out loud or in their heads (including myself, I hate to admit), but now that he's our QB and has shown enough flashes during these two games, they're all now his defenders.

Stupid responses to stupid comments are still stupid, no matter what.

I cannot believe someone would make these comments. Baker is just an idiot. He is talented but has been prematurely put into the top 10 QBs lists by many. He needs to STFU but history shows he is incapable of this. This is a guy that was a walk on at one point should he needs to relax. The browns care more about the Giants than the browns
