Mayfiled will be? The most accurate & efficient QB in College Football History will be a bust? Alrighty. Neat analysis.  

I'm torn on Mayfield. I love his attitude and he is definitely very accurate. But, huge college production doesn't always equal great NFL player and his freestyling ways concern me in transitioning to the NFL. I'll say the same thing about him that I did about Cam Newton and Johnny Manziel - he's boom or bust. I think he'll either be great or he'll be awful. His game will either translate or it won't. I can't see anything in the middle. I still wish that Manziel wasn't such a fug up off the field. I really wanted to see if he could do it in the NFL. Man that guy was FUN to watch in college.

Yeah, I think the Manziel comparison is lazy. Manziel wasn't nearly as accurate as Mayfield.

But did I compare him to Manziel? I only mentioned Manziel and Cam because I see Mayfield as another boom or bust QB, not because I think they're similar players on the field. Mayfield is a much more polished passer and isn't near the athlete that Manziel was/is.

    • Because playoff hockey and regular season hockey aren’t the same thing.  It’s a combination of the game intensity being dialed up with loose officiating.
    • The last 8 weeks, Nix had 2,022 yards, 21 TDs, 6 INTs on 70% completions While Bryce's last 8 games he had 1,709 yards, 12 TDs (albeit adding 5 more rushing), 3 INTs on 61% completions. I'm not going to pretend I watched those Broncos games to know exactly how Nix actually looked, but in retrospect, his statistics were better.  Hell, in just his final 8 games, Nix had only 5 less TD passes than Bryce has in his 30 game (28 starts) career. And you said he had better WRs than Bryce did, but I'm not even sure that's even true either. Sutton and Thielen might be completely different types of WRs, but I'd say they are pretty equal on effectiveness if not even a slight edge to Thielen (63.6 YPG for Sutton to 61.5 for Thielen).  Then XL and Coker vs Marvin Mims and Devaughn Vale, again, at worst a push, if not lean in our favor there too. Why is it so hard for some Panthers fans to just objectively look at our team/Bryce and be honest with themselves. ? He was significantly improved the final two months of the season from his first season and a half.  But he was still a below average QB during that time, even if he had a few good throws and clutch moments.
