Baker Mayfield signs with Bucs

[younghutch]

Yep. This shows that the Rams are completely comfortable with Stafford's health. Good news.

Wolford blows

But he’s a hard worker and knows the playbook. Who cares if he’s not physically able to pull it off.

 

[Rams43]

Well, it seems that Mayfield and his agent couldn’t see the big picture.

Rams (and McVay) would have been a perfect environment for BM to polish his skills.

Might have been an ideal place to start after Stafford’s injury/retirement which should come soon.

But no, they chose to chase the rainbow with Bucs and a $4.5M salary with incentives for one year. Sigh…

 

[FaulkSF]

Why does Jimmy Crappolo get a contract worth 25 million while Mayfield gets peanuts? I don't get it.

Did you not watch the Seattle game? Many of the throws were behind the receives. At least two for VJ.

I’m not sure they have a choice. I think the draft will provide us insight.

 

[Elmgrovegnome]

I thought Mayfield would be a very good pro QB. I was clearly wrong and to me he’s just a backup/bridge QB. I just hope the Rams get a better backup than what they’ve got.

I agree. As unrealistic as it was, I was hoping BM would stay. But the market is the market and he’s now all-in with the Bucs. Understandable to take the cash with another team, but somewhat risky, IMO.

I guess at the end of it all, it’s good to have a good BM, but if it’s a bad BM then you have to flush. Perhaps that’s what the Rams accomplished. Who knows?!

I'm surprised it is only a 1 year deal and I did think he'd eclipse 10 mill.
Either way, he was never going to stay with the Rams, so good for him. I think its a decent place to play with the WR crew he has to work with there

 

[So Ram]

WHere’s OLDBUTNOTDEAD?

Thought Baker Mayfield was The Rams QB of the future.
Joking- Comp pick ?

It's only a 1 year deal. If the worst case scenario occurs and Stafford health goes south, he could end up being right

 

[rdlkgliders]

Smart deal for Baker and the Bucs, Prove it deal with the starting job as it stands. For Baker that is better than being behind Stafford, for us not so much

 

[Ram65]

The contract is not a ringing endorsement for Mayfield. He is better than Wolford but, he wants a chance to start. I don't think he will be more than an average QB at best.

 

[Merlin]

Another appropriately priced bridge QB signing. Cya Baker.

 

[madrid311]

surely the rams saw how bad Wolford and Perkins performed and are not bringing them back! they wouldn't would they? go rams. P.S. thanks for the heads up on my poor avatar spelling and omissions. lol.

Because Jimmy G wins when/if he plays (Big "if") and Baker doesn't

 

[Giles]

Well the bucs are no longer a threat anymore

Pounding the table for this guy. A little Goff-like..wouldn't be bad for a 4th rd pick if we can get one. I have seen him listed now in the top 100 to 120 range.

Stenson Bennett, welcome to the Rams. Just the type of guy they would draft for Staffords back up IMO. He's already old too so Stafford and him can discuss corded phones, VCR's, and cassette players together.

Yeah QBs always seem to rise, it's that damn supply/demand effect. He's one of those guys who should be able to be a backup or maybe grow into something more than that. Good target for us and the Rams interviewed him.

 

[Stump23]

As Dieter said above, this is only a 1yr deal. I would have liked him to stay through a full off season/pre season to see if we could have developed him but oh well.
