Mayfield is a good QB. Not great. But good. He is scrappy too and a pretty good scrambler. He can make some throws. He went 1st overall for a reason. It is too bad he had starting offers because I, like many, was really hoping he would be willing to sit behind Stafford for a year. If we had managed to retain him, it likely would have made us a locked in playoff team this year starting Baker instead of Rypien.

All Baker is doing is proving he's a good backup QB not a starter. He could have a long career making millions as a backup. But I doubt is ego would accept that.

Hell he's made enough where if he didn't want to work he wouldn't have to.

Just saw the other day:
Herbert has one more career loss than mayfield and they both have the same win total. One just got paid a truckload and the other has been considered a flop by many.
What gives?
Probably that his coach and defense lost him all those games.

I could never understand the love for derpert. Maybe because he put up good fantasy stats people thought he was great. A common problem.

They look at the box score and don't look at his play when the team needs him to make plays. More often than not he derps it up and they lose.

Yeah, I am always stunned when I see Herbert listed among the top QB's in the league. Never agreed with Watson being on that list either.

Gimme Stroud all day over either of them....

Well for one Mayfield has played 84 career games vs Herbert's 61

In 3 seasons Herbert had 2 winning seasons... in his 7-year career Mayfield has ONE winning season.

Herberts 2nd full season he had 5038 yards and 38 tds

Herberts career rating is 96 Mayfield's career rating is 87.

So, in pretty much every measurable way Herbert is significantly better.

That is odd because the graphic I saw with their career W/L record side by side showed herbert with one more “decision” than mayfield. Again, odd because mayfield has been around longer. I wonder if he got credited for the win vs the raiders because he didn’t actually come into the game until the Rams’ second possession.
