YNK Podcast #98 - Baker Mayfield

We were lucky enough to have our good friend, and neighbor, Baker Mayfield at the ranch on Lake Travis a few weeks ago. Baker touched on his unconventional start in the league, his current situation, and his mindset through it all.

[@biladitanya]

I’m now rooting hard for his success. Hearing his story from the beginning as a walk on, how he endured the adversity, it’s inspiring. Really hope there’s a team that saw him from genuine perspective and give him a chance

@@bound210 He's also the only QB in NFL history to go through 3 different HC and 3 different offensive schemes in his first 3 years in the league. Which plays a huge part in development and team cohesiveness. And if you could actually read with context you'd realzie I said thanks for "helping" change the culture. Didn't say he was solely responsible for the change. But thanks for the obvious remark 🤣

[@dvgkvlyn2256]

@@bound210 some would say going 7-8-1 in 2018 (Baker's rookie) after 0-16 in 2017 was the turnaround. Baker won more games than he lost in the games he played. After they fired Hue, they finished 5-3. Baker broke the rookie QB record, throwing for 27 TDs that year. He played a huge role in the turnaround. This deal with DW is the end of the turnaround.

[@carolcoen8068]

As an OU alum, I have watched Baker since he came to OU. After one game, and one interview I saw, I became an instant fan of this remarkable young man. His story of never giving up and his taking the risk to walk on gave me the determination to keep fighting, keep working, to hold off my severe spinal handicap as long as I can. Although I will be in a wheelchair eventually, I will always be inspired by Baker to be a better person every day. He and his wife have given so much back to the communities in which he played. God Bless you Baker! And thank you, Mike, for this interview! PS> I am burning my Cleveland Browns flag, t-shirts, and other paraphernalia. They don't deserve Baker or my allegiance.

And lastly, Adam, I am sorry you are so touchy about my opinion.

[@AdamB34]

@@carolcoen8068 you have literally never spoken to Baker personally. You do not know who he is personally. You know as much about him as anyone else who watches his interviews. This idea that you "know who he is" is ridiculous. All you know is what he shows you in controlled public interviews where he is obviously on his best behavior and trying to always say the right thing. Lastly, I'm not touchy about anything. You were talking in extreme hyperbole about how much Baker has overcome and how amazing he is and it was funny to me. Read your original comment again, you would think Baker overcame having one arm and become a nfl qb based on your description of him. It was just a little over the top, nobody was upset about your comment, it was just hyperbolic and exaggerative

[@brooksorlando4881]

​@@horsedarkI played in college and Baker fascinates me. Streakiest QB ever lol. When he's in a rhythm, he can drop dimes. Accurate af in tight windows deep. When he gets down on himself, he spirals though. He's too emotional and is his own worst enemy. People get on him for his height..it's not so much that. You typically wanna find throwing lanes vs literally throwing over the lineman. It's the lack of foot speed. He's sooo slow. He gets really flustered too with a pass rush. You saw in Rams game though, for ex. He can be very good if everything clicks. It needs to be perfect around him though and that's just not the reality of NFL. Just my 2 cents

I do wonder about many NFL players who publicly and emotionally claim to feel 'disrespected' by an organization because they get traded, released or looked past. BUT when a player leaves a team for what they perceive to be a better opportunity, it is always something along the lines of "well, it's just business and you can't be emotional." I guess I'm just wondering which it is.

Worked with the Longhorns when Baker was at Lake Travis, Tech and OU. Wasn’t a fan of his then for obvious reasons. When he became the first walk-on to win the Heisman I started learning more about him. Been a big fan ever since then. I put up with a lot of shit for it too. I know some of his Lake Travis classmates who said he is great guy when you know him. All everyone else see’s is what is on TV or media. This interview gives people a glimpse of who he is. I loved it. Will be defending Baker until the end. Hoping he makes us both look good :) Give’em hell Baker. You are a Panther now. Oh…btw…I grew up in southern Mississippi and went to same high school as Brett Favre. He was 4 years ahead of me so I watched him play since high school. Brett was so afraid of losing his job he got addicted to pain meds. Baker knows all of this. He played hurt to keep his job. The last time he was hurt (Tech) he was replaced. Maybe that’s why I like Baker…reminds me of Favre. Glad he got all healed up and look forward to watching him shut everyone up.

[@2ndroyalty342]

As a brown fan you brought joy and hope in the browns and QB position. Like “Cam Newton” like energy I wish you well man🤙🏾🤙🏾

[@jessebeaber2126]

I have nothing but love for Bake! He is or "was" the best QB we've had since Bernie Kosar. The fact that I got 2 watch him at the helm when we made it 2 the playoffs and won a playoff game is something I will always cherish and will always root for Baker throughout the rest of his career! I hate 2 see him leave on a bad sour note but the fact of the matter is that Deshaun Watson is a upgrade and that's the business. He even said it himself that in the NFL your job is never safe. But like I said, ima root 4 him the rest of the way and I wish nothing but great things for the man. Thank You Baker Mayfield.......and GO BROWNS!!!!

Terrible interview! Who are all these drunk cocky frat kids? Interviewer seems full of himself.. spent an overwhelming time on his own drunk commentary than getting to hear from Baker No wonder Cleveland said they wanted an adult

[@AdamB34]

Baker being the best qb you've had in decades just shows how pathetic the Browns are, not how good Baker is

[@fornearyhodge8939]

He's the 4th best quarterbacks ever in the browns organization!

I loved his presence at CLE. He's exactly the dude we needed when we had him. I think it's bullshit that the first season he gets hurt, we drop him. DW is a machine, no doubt. But he doesn't have the thing that works in Cleveland. DW just secured his, his kids and his kids' kids future with that contract. I don't know what motivates him but with the shit hanging over his head and Cleveland being as unforgiving of QBs as any NFL team in history, it's difficult to reasonably believe that he'll have the resilience to withstand this fucked up organization. Baker could if it believed in him I'm almost certain. Good luck 6. You're going to be great man.

DeShaun hasn't played a down for the Browns yet you're demeaning him a failure 🤔. Baker had 4 inconsistent years & he's somehow great 🤣🤡💀💀🐑🐑🤦🏽

[@Yo_AB_Breaks]

@@DivineTQ It sucks it came off that way. I tried to convey that I don't know what motivates Watson and that I made clear that he's a great player. Top 5 in my book skill-wise. Mentally, we just don't know. Mentally, we have a much better feel on Baker. We also have his skill; not injured and under Stefansky, he's top 10. And hes the only QB in 20 years to survive the historical level of bad that this organization has been. Thats it. I hope DW kills it. And I wish Baker the best.

[@Triple-G]

Middle infielders that bat left and throw right has to be one of the best combos.

[@giodonni7127]

Im glad Baker is honest of who he is and who he really connects with. He should grow a mullet. Good luck with the rest of your career. Go Browns!

Baker I hope you become a Seahawk
