[River Wells] Baker Mayfield speaks on how his maturity is perceived as he’s gotten older.

He says that doing things like jawing to a Seahawks fan before the game was initially perceived as immature, but now he has “moxy” and “is a dog.”

“Same shit, different day.”

  2. This is why I often hate the *mature* argument with Baker.

    Oh, HE HAD TO GO THROUGH 2022. IT WOULD HAVE NEVER WORKED IN CLEVELAND. EVERYTHING COMPLETELY AWFUL WE SAID ABOUT HIM BACK THEN WAS 100% TRUE.

    Baker’s Baker. And I will say it once again. Best thing the Bucs did so far was tell him to be himself and most of all allow him to be himself/embraced that side of him.

    Shouldn’t have been some magic recipe to get the best out of Baker, but thank fuck Bowles and our FO are not idiots.

  3. The difference really is just if you’re winning or not

    Guaranteed the league would be judging him if we were 1-4

  4. Reminds me of the announcers pearl clutching while he shit talked the Kansas players from the sideline at OU. The infamous crotch grab after they refused to shake his hand, cheap-shotted him, and then got absolutely steamrolled

  5. I love this guy, because he is real. He made some mistakes in college for sure, but his cockiness has always been backed up by his grittiness, and I think he generally radiates a positive cockiness in that he seems to be a team player who likes to celebrate in the teams achievements.

  6. Narratives are funny. Bakers the golden boy right now but I could see neutral observers turning on him eventually, even if nothing much changes.

    I never will tho!!! Go Bucs!

  7. I’m just glad he gets to be himself here. We’re all willing to go to bat for our QB.

  10. Let’s be real – if he threw 4 interceptions and lost the game – we all would be perceiving his actions differently.

    Everyone loves someone who can walk the talk and back up his statements.

    We are so lucky for our brain trust and to have gotten a worthy successor to the GOAT.

  11. The thing is though, baker IS a dawg. He always has been. The fucking guy walked on TWICE in college as a QB. Won a Heisman, one of the most electric players in CFB history. Then he gets to the NFL and dipshits like Hugh Jackson and Kevin Stefanski do nothing but try to get him to act more professional and political which I genuinely believe hindered his play and he didn’t feel welcomed or accepted for he was and the kind of player he is.

    Now look at him. Looks a lot like Oklahoma baker to me. I can never thank the browns and Myles Garrett enough for starting the chain reaction that led him to Tampa. There isn’t a soul alive that’s a football fan that doesn’t enjoy watching this guy play football.

    Anyways, not all of that was relevant to the post I just wanted to glaze baker for a minute because he’s the fucking man.

  14. everyone laughing but you know Baker thinks the topic of conversation is bullshit
