Baker Mayfield


Raleigh PF

Recommended Posts

PFT is asking the question if the Browns are going to give Baker Mayfield a new contract (rookie contract runs out in 2022).

"And it’s not just a question of whether the Browns are willing to extend Mayfield. The real question is whether the Browns will make Mayfield an offer he won’t refuse. At one point not that long ago, each quarterback who was due for a new deal became the new highest-paid player in league history. From Andrew Luck to Derek Carr to Matthew Stafford to Jimmy Garoppolo to Kirk Cousins to Matt Ryan, each guy kept pushing the bar a little higher.

That’s likely changing. With Patrick Mahomes at $45 million per year in new money and with Dak Prescott at $40 million (but actually with a much better deal) and Josh Allen splitting the difference at $43 million annually, the chances of Mayfield coming in at $45.1 million, for example, are slim.

It makes sense, frankly, for a second tier of quarterback salaries to emerge, with a player who is good enough to remain with his team but not good enough to break the bank getting something in the range of $33 million to $35 million per year in new money. That make seem like a lot. However, with the looming cap explosion fueled by new TV deals and stacks of gambling cash, that soon becomes a significant value.'

Question is, would you be willing to pay Mayfield north of $35M/year? I don't necessarily think the guy is a top-5 QB, but he's orders of magnitude better than Darnold and wouldn't cost any draft picks, unless the Panthers tried to trade for him this offseason.

Thoughts?

Give Darnold the Browns offensive line and I don’t think you would be able to tell their stats apart on paper.

Both guys are middle of the pack QBs who aren’t winning anything without a solid team around them.

Oh yeah and no, I wouldn’t even consider paying either one of them north of 30 million dollars a year.

I think there are some sleeper QBs in this draft and we will grab one this year.  About the OL? I expect to see a deal done before the deadline that could involve a CB for a second rounder or so.  We shall see.  Many think we should go OL with the first pick,and they could be right, but Howell has not had much support in Chapel Hill and there are a few others who could be there when the panthers pick.  If the Panthers are picking top 15, they will take a QB. If they are picking around 20 or better, they go OL (possible a trade back.)  TMI? 

If Cleveland will not sign their starting QB, should we? I don't know.

I would not want the Panthers to shell out $30-35M for Mayfield…or any other QB for that matter.

QB contract numbers have become ridiculous. 1/6 to 1/5 of your entire salary cap for one player? No thanks. Way too many roster spots to fill to spend that much on one player, regardless of the fact that it is QB. 

Check Brady’s career contract numbers on spotrac. He’s always taken less money, which allows his team to spend in other areas. This is proof of a world in which QBs get insanely wealthy yet still allow their organizations to build complete teams. I like that model.

I honestly haven't watched enough to say, but I do know that Baker Mayfield played a huge role in yanking the Browns' out of the NFL's basement and he did it while they were playing musical chairs with coaches. That's a monumental task.

Huge role is a bit of reach.  It was Kevin Stefanski and the running game he built the past 2 years.  All Mayfield does is play action when its called on.

The Panthers  really need to get away from free agent QBs and actually draft one . They haven't shown the ability to choose good free agent qbs or o line . So they logically should be looking at drafting both high next year (or I guess one of the two if we only have that first rounder and don't trade for more picks or trade down ).

 

The best thing Fitterer could do is trade down.  If I were him I'd trade one or two defensive players for 2022 picks,  make a good trade down in the draft,  and have a ton of 2nd and 3rds to stack the o line and kick the tires on a qb .

0-16 to get Mayfield. 7-8-1 with rookie Mayfield.

I'm not saying he's great, but don't be surprised if they go right back to the basement if they move on from Mayfield. Panthers fans are getting a real good dose on what reality looks like when you think you have such brilliance at OC that you can make just anyone work out at QB.

Technically, if the Panthers pick top 15 and there is a QB you like out there, you take the QB.  Let Darnold start in 2022 and build the OL with every other pick or trade--and the 2022 draft.  That gives the rookie a year to watch, the GM a year to build an OL, and the fans another year of crap---but it is stepping in the right direction and not trying to plug holes with bubble gum.

But damn we have a stable full of CBs that have value.  Jackson needs to be dealt within a week (trade deadline) for a second if Fit can get it.  He is the only player who we could get value for and replace without losing anything (Horn, Bouye, Gimore, Taylor...)

The terrifying thing is that they've viewed FA QBs as more of a sure thing than drafted QBs. If we're seeing their sure things, damn I'd hate to see their shots in the dark.

    • Green Tea Leaf Extract: A Concentrated Source of Health Benefits Green tea leaf extract is a concentrated form of green tea leaves, created by removing most of the water and other plant material. This process leaves behind a potent powder rich in beneficial compounds, particularly antioxidants called catechins. The most prominent catechin in green tea is epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG), believed to be responsible for many of the extract's potential health benefits. Green tea has been consumed for centuries in various cultures for its invigorating and medicinal properties. Green tea leaf extract offers a more concentrated way to experience these benefits. While research is ongoing, here's a glimpse into what science suggests about this extract: Antioxidant Powerhouse: Green tea leaf extract boasts a high concentration of antioxidants, particularly catechins. These antioxidants help combat free radicals in the body, which can damage cells and contribute to various health concerns. Potential Weight Management Aid: Some studies suggest green tea extract may play a role in weight management. It may modestly increase calorie burning and promote fat oxidation, potentially aiding weight loss efforts when combined with a healthy diet and exercise. Brain and Cognitive Function: Green tea leaf extract may offer benefits for cognitive function. The caffeine content can enhance alertness, while EGCG may improve memory and focus. Benefits of Green Tea Leaf Extract: Rich in antioxidants that combat free radicals May support weight management efforts May enhance cognitive function and focus L-Carnitine L-Carnitine is a naturally occurring molecule similar to an amino acid that plays a crucial role in your body's energy production process. Primarily synthesized in the liver and kidneys, with smaller amounts produced in the brain, L-Carnitine also exists in some foods you consume, particularly red meat and dairy products. One of its key functions involves transporting fatty acids into the mitochondria, the powerhouse of your cells. Fatty acids are a type of fuel your body can use for energy, but they can't enter the mitochondria on their own. L-Carnitine acts like a taxi, shuttling these fatty acids across the mitochondrial membrane, allowing them to be burned for energy production. This process not only fuels your cells but also helps reduce the buildup of excess fat in your muscles. Beyond its role in energy production, L-Carnitine offers several other potential health benefits. It may contribute to improved exercise performance by delaying fatigue and muscle soreness. L-Carnitine's involvement in energy metabolism also suggests it might play a part in weight management, though research on its effectiveness for weight loss is ongoing. Additionally, studies have explored the use of L-Carnitine for managing certain health conditions, such as heart disease and male infertility, although more conclusive evidence is needed. Benefits of L-Carnitine: Enhanced Exercise Performance: L-Carnitine may help athletes and those who exercise regularly by improving endurance and reducing muscle fatigue. Potential Role in Weight Management: By promoting fat burning for energy, L-Carnitine might contribute to weight loss efforts, although a healthy diet and exercise remain essential. Supporting Certain Health Conditions: Research suggests L-Carnitine may offer benefits for managing specific health concerns, but further studies are needed for definitive conclusions. L-Theanine L-Theanine, an amino acid naturally found in green and black tea leaves, has gained increasing attention for its potential health benefits. Unlike most other amino acids, L-theanine isn't used to build proteins in the body. Instead, it boasts unique properties that influence brain function and overall well-being. One of L-theanine's key characteristics is its ability to readily cross the blood-brain barrier, a selective gateway that regulates substances entering the brain. Once inside, L-theanine interacts with neurotransmitters, the chemical messengers that shuttle information between brain cells. L-theanine is particularly adept at influencing the levels of alpha waves in the brain. Alpha waves are associated with a state of relaxed alertness, often experienced during meditation or light exercise. By promoting the production of alpha waves, L-theanine may contribute to feelings of calmness and focus. Furthermore, L-theanine appears to work synergistically with caffeine, another prominent component found in tea. While caffeine can heighten alertness, it can also lead to jitters or anxiety in some individuals. L-theanine seems to counteract these negative effects, promoting a smoother and more sustained energy boost when combined with caffeine. L-theanine's influence extends beyond brain function. Studies suggest it may possess antioxidant properties, helping to combat free radicals, unstable molecules that can damage cells and contribute to various health conditions. Additionally, L-theanine may play a role in immune function and blood pressure regulation, although further research is needed to fully understand these potential benefits. Benefits of L-Theanine: Promotes Relaxation and Focus: L-theanine's influence on alpha waves may contribute to feelings of calmness and enhance concentration. May Improve Sleep Quality: By promoting relaxation, L-theanine may ease sleep onset and improve overall sleep quality. May Reduce Anxiety: L-theanine's interaction with brain chemicals associated with relaxation may help alleviate symptoms of anxiety. Java burn
    • The draft lottery is a joke. There is 100% a better way to stop tanking. How about if you tank, you forfeit your draft pick. Boom, solved. All the lottery does is punish truly bad teams. The NBA just uses it for rigging and ratings.
