Buccaneers’ Baker Mayfield Breaks Records If ‘Things Go Right’ In 2025<\/a> originally appeared on Athlon Sports<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Tampa Bay Buccaneers general manager Jason Licht has given Baker Mayfield<\/a> everything he needs to be successful in 2025.<\/p>\n

The entire starting offensive line returns, he has a run game led by Bucky Irving and Rachaad White, plus Chris Godwin, Mike Evans, Jalen McMillan, Emeka Egbuka, and tight end Cade Otton as his weapons.<\/p>\n

That’s quite a collection of talent.<\/p>\n

For Fox Sports’ Henry McKenna, in his “what could go right” scenario in 2025, Mayfield might just break records because of it.<\/p>\n

“This offense could be that good,” McKenna writes<\/a>. “Not only is Chris Godwin coming back from injury, but the Buccaneers have brought in Emeka Egbuka to add more firepower with Mike Evans and Jalen McMillan. Bucky Irving should only be better in Year 2. There\u2019s so much to like about the talent at every position on this offense.”<\/p>\n

Could Baker really set records? Let’s have a look.<\/p>\n

Last season, with missing Evans for a month, and Godwin after Week 7, Mayfield still\u00a0threw for 4,500 passing yards and 41 touchdowns.<\/p>\n

Now with Godwin back, so too Evans, along with Egbuka and the expected improvement of McMillan, could Mayfield really get into record-breaking territory?<\/p>\n

Peyton Manning holds the record for most passing yards in a season (5,477) and touchdowns in a season (55).\u00a0The touchdowns seem the most logical one to break, given he was only 14 away last season. But even then, it is a tall order.<\/p>\n

Plus, let’s not forget how well Tampa Bay runs the football, so Irving and White will take some of the passing snaps as well, so factor that in.<\/p>\n

Mayfield breaking records is a fun thought, and yes, he has the weapons to do it, but color us skeptical on him actually doing it.<\/p>\n

But if he did? My word, that would put an exclamation mark on his career resurgence.<\/p>\n
