Bad Baker Mayfield
November 26th, 2023
Baker Mayfield opens up after today’s loss.
When Jameis Winston was Bucs quarterback, perhaps the most inconsistent QB in franchise history, Joe often referred to “Good Jameis” or “Bad Jameis” during a game.
Joe usually could tell early on which Jameis had shown up.
Today, Bad Baker Mayfield showed up in Indianapolis.
Joe was most upset by senseless sacks Mayfield took because they were repeats of mistakes he made a week ago against the 49ers. Throw the ball away!! Joe has to watch the film, but it sure seemed like three of the six Mayfield sacks didn’t have to happen.
Sacks are drive killers.
Two turnovers today — a pick and a fumble — also bit Mayfield like they did last week. And he had another game of near interceptions. Joe hates mentioning those because every QB has them, but they’ve been glaring the past two weeks.
Mayfield didn’t do his typical podium interview following today’s 27-20 loss to the Colts. Most Bucs players had showered and left the locker room when Mayfield emerged from team trainers working on his injured ankle.
Mayfield got hurt on the game’s opening drive and he told Joe and other media types at his locker that adrenaline carried him through the game, and that pain was setting in after the final whistle.
As for the sputtering Bucs offense, Mayfield didn’t offer anything new or enlightening.
Joe was more interested in why Mayfield thinks the Bucs are good enough to fix their dying season.
“Baker, losing six out of seven is a tough spot for any NFL team. What makes you confident this team will rebound?” Joe asked Mayfield.
“To be honest with you, there’s no moral victories but we’ve always shown fight and heart. We’re in these ball games. Now it’s just a matter of guys having the accountability to do your job, not mess up, do the little things right and handle business. Because that’s what it’s coming down to. It’s not for a lack of effort. It’s not for a lack of preparation and being on the same page. We have that. And I’m a firm believer in that. It just comes down to guys doing the little things right when it comes to Sunday. Just carry that over and good things will happen.”
Before signing off to reporters, Mayfield noted his frustration and repeated something he said weeks ago — that the Bucs aren’t angry enough.
“Until guys get pissed off enough to get it fixed, there will be no changes,” Mayfield said. “So, I know where I’m going to head at the end of this week. I’ll get my job fixed and try and drag as many along as well.”
If Mayfield does indeed get his “job fixed,” Joe suspects the Bucs might actually win four more games this season.

If Ia m not mistaken you referred to JW As the entertainment QB of America Joe.
Mayfield compared to JW looks like Joe Namath!,
November 26th, 2023 at 6:46 pm
Baker Mayfield is average at best and needs a team like the Browns to hold teams to 10 points a game and have a great running game just so Baker can win by scoring 14 points a game 😂
November 26th, 2023 at 6:47 pm
I must have reviewed the three you didn’t joe because so far I haven’t seen one that was on Baker. I am guessing the other three might be.
On one I saw him trying to run but can’t fault it when it doesn’t work and cheer when it does. The int was all on him though. Felt himself too much thinking he could needle that through
November 26th, 2023 at 6:47 pm
IT’S NOT ALL ABOUT WINS AND LOSES, AND MAYFIELD KNOWS THAT! BAKER ALWAYS GIVES 110%, AND REALLY, WHAT ELSE CAN ASK FROM ANYONE! SURE THE RESULTS DIDN’T GO OUR WAY TODAY, BUT IF WE JUST KEEP A POSITIVE MENTAL ATTITUDE, THINGS WILL TURN AROUND, STARTING NEXT WEEK AS WE BLOW OUT THE PANTHERS AS WE START OUR MARCH TO THE SUPER BOWL!
#TEAMPOSITIVE!
November 26th, 2023 at 6:47 pm
I thought Baker had done a good job of saying the right things after the game. Something about this quote bugs me? Dragging others along? It’s not like he’s been perfect. Even if he had been playing lights out, no need to throw your teammates under the bus.

Unfortunately, Mayfield may have a serious injury. It’s unfortunate because it may usher in the Trash expierence to Tampa Bay. God save us!

November 26th, 2023 at 6:54 pm
Well if they bring in trask we’re not really worried about winning since we’re on a six game losing streak
November 26th, 2023 at 6:54 pm
I disagree.when a pocket collapses on 3 sides at the same time it’s very easy to throw a pick. A pick is also a drive killer. Mayfield should probably sit a week to heal. He needs his legs for his game to work. Offensive line is the weak link here.
November 26th, 2023 at 6:56 pm
A rewatch does not support the notion that “Bad Baker Mayfield” showed up in Indy. Maybe the ALL22 will show more of “bad” play, but a sober game film rewatch shows this loss not on QB play (as it hasn’t outside of the Lions game.)
As to the specifics:.
The pick he and Evans miscommunicated the route. Not sure who is at fault. Give the credit to Mayfield, but the QB throws an Out, the WR runs a dig. Bad play design either way as Godwin’s route is running right at Evans (if he’s running the correct route, then this is awful play design by Canales as it creates unnecessary traffic). So credit it to Mayfield, but Evan’s had a few plays this and the last game where his routes are “weird.”
The strip sack is on the offensive line (Wirfs) as it occurs in the QBs throwing motion.
Mayfield’s elite throw on 4th & 10 and hard scramble on another 3rd (or 4th). Two drives killed by clear drops. Evans turns the wrong way on the opening drive on a shot that is likely a walk in TD.
It’s fun to overreact, which is why I watch film.
November 26th, 2023 at 6:56 pm
I don’t know how you can compare Baker to Jameis. It’s a night and day difference. Jameis’s bad day typically consisted of 3-5 turnovers. As far as dragging people with him, the Trey Palmer drop at the end was ridiculous. If I was him I’d be irritated too.
And what’s happened to our defense? It didn’t look like anyone showed up ready to play. Pathetic.
November 26th, 2023 at 6:58 pm
“Until guys get pissed off enough to get it fixed, there will be no changes,”
As fan o f Bakers this is one thing I don’t like in his philosophy. He puts waaaaay to much emphasis on fight and emotion. HIs celebrations when running and blocking like in the 49ers game are over the top and show this problem .
He is a Qb. fist pump and cheer when you have a td. HE might even take a step up in hise game without over reliance on emotion.
Also not completely buying his playing on adrenaline. Yes ankle sprains take a while to really get painful but it was the first quarter and its unlikely he felt no ill effects at half time. I would have ben fine seeing trask there.
November 26th, 2023 at 7:00 pm
Dude is too short to play the position well. I didnt know anything about him to start the season. I thought he looked good early. But it has become painfully obvious he cannot see his receivers through the lines.
November 26th, 2023 at 7:01 pm
Can we get some actual Bucs fans on here? I’m one. Bucs lost the game cos Mayfield was not benched after his ankle injury. Who called that one, him or Canales? It sure didn’t give the team a chance to win. Colts saw that. Plus, the REFS.

Joe Mayfield is bringing back memories of Jameis I mean Mayfield plays hard but today he will play a hell of a game the the next 2 games you’re wandering what the hell happened. At times I think he hold the ball to long run or throw the ball away
November 26th, 2023 at 7:04 pm
Let’s see what we’ve got in Trask (and maybe improve our draft position).
November 26th, 2023 at 7:04 pm
Its like deja vu all over again.
We saw the best Baker could bring back when we were 3-1.
Now he is going to press and when he presses, be blows it. He is getting frustrated and then we will see the Carolina and Rams Baker.
I wish they made QBs smart enough not to hurt their team by playing when they are hurt; wait, that is the coaches job. e’nuff said.
November 26th, 2023 at 7:04 pm
Buc’s need to eject a bunch of the super bowl winners on the roster who are just too complacent!
November 26th, 2023 at 7:05 pm

Even that proves my point. Her height had nothing to do with why you didn’t get any or even a second date. 🙂
November 26th, 2023 at 7:06 pm
It’s over. Just play Trask the remainder of the season so he can prove he’s a wasted draft pick as well. Start working for a better draft pick and trade up for a qb
November 26th, 2023 at 7:06 pm
I just saw Baker is getting an MRI.
So there’s your out.
The team says they think they saw something on the MRI and they shut him down for the year, and move on, and everyone can say how great he was playing and how he’s the heart of the team, blah blah blah – then Trask can come in and lose, and Bowles can say its because he lost his starting QB, and if we only had him the team would have went 13-4.
This would also be the smart play for Baker, since he hasn’t totally collapsed yet and he’ll still get another look from yet another team – as long as it’s not here, I’m good with that.

8/11 games under the league scoring average for the offense. We’ve got hall of famers & all pros at receiver and he gets clean pockets. It’s been that for the whole season i’m afraid.

Oh man I’d Loooooove that. It actually would be better Mush – Baker throws two Tds and runs for downs while injured
and the legends grow.
I’m ready for trask because I see no hope in the defense . Wouldn’t surprise me if Panthers light us up and have them thinking maybe they didn’t do so bad with their pick

Well when your QB holds the ball for 10 seconds, that’s also an issue. But the one sack wasn’t good by Wirfs, who was clearly playing very injured today. Was almost certainly his worst game ever.
November 26th, 2023 at 7:20 pm
“Baker mayfield 6 foot one

That’s a Great Point Tony Marks! I Totally Agree! I’ll even add 1 more comparison to that one…
Drew Brees 6 foot.
…an inch shorter and a sure-fire first ballot Hall of Famer. The Height excuse doesn’t fly.
November 26th, 2023 at 7:21 pm
Baker threw a pick in triple coverage. He does that every game. He needs to benched to see what Trask can do.
November 26th, 2023 at 7:22 pm
Rod munch I don’t think any QB can win in Tampa at this time. We see what happened with Brady last year. I think the Bucs has to make some changes to get this team back to a contender.
November 26th, 2023 at 7:26 pm
How did the hall of famer Brees ever get it done, being so tiny?? Hmmm
November 26th, 2023 at 7:26 pm
tampabaybucfan, No sht,
Why don’t u guys consider why every team we play, the qb has a career game????
Mystery i guess, u guys just keep calling for trask and see how that wks out for u
LMAO
Buc’s in trouble, I see nothing that will keep us from being outscored, dropped passes, fumbles or not
November 26th, 2023 at 7:28 pm
Team Baker says if Trask comes in we may lose! Oh man wouldn’t want to tarnish that squeaky clean 4-7 record!
November 26th, 2023 at 7:28 pm
There’s still Baker band-aids around here? Fewer than 200 yards (again), an ugly pick, 3 more batted balls. Yeah, keep pounding that drum. I don’t even think Baker believes you.
November 26th, 2023 at 7:28 pm
Ive never seen a more pourous secondary in my life
Oneil, that would account for 60% of losses u wretch
November 26th, 2023 at 7:30 pm
Baker throws line drives which invites the d-line to swat those passes down. Baker is good for two or three a game.
November 26th, 2023 at 7:31 pm
real op buc,
is that why they lost??
explain
November 26th, 2023 at 7:32 pm
Another perfect TD pass dropped today this time by Payton. When the defense is so porous the offense can’t afford mistakes like this. Josh Allen is 6’5″ and has had more passes batted down this year than Baker. Mayfield played with a bad ankle basically the whole game and lacked the mobility to move much in the pocket. Most of the sacks today were coverage sacks.
November 26th, 2023 at 7:33 pm
Good article Jow,
Baker fans please go away after this game. He is done here and going forward in NFL as a starter Nop other team will give him additional looks. He just throw his teammates under the bus. No Baker, you sucked the most in this game.
Is Toilet Bowl fired yet ?

I attended the Bucs’ first practice open to the public last summer. I keep thinking back to a comment a fan behind us made after Mayfield had a pass batted down. “It’s going to happen all year, he’s too short”.
Also, Rod Munch and Jack Clark = #PositivelyIdiots

No. He keeps saying we are one game away from wining the division and pathetic Glazer believes him.

November 26th, 2023 at 7:53 pm
“We know Baker is garbage. Everyone knows”
The stats certainly don’t know that cause Mayfield is top 15 in nearly every passing statistic.
Perhaps if the swiss cheese run and pass defense could get of the field we could win a few games?
November 26th, 2023 at 7:53 pm
wasn’t allen hurt?
November 26th, 2023 at 7:54 pm
Most are overreacting. Highly doubt trask does better. Baker avoids the rush pretty well besides this game. He deff took some unnecessary sacks. It’s criminal that we arnt getting the ball more to CG14 n ME13. Let’s throw it to Palmer who drops a perfect pass ridiculous. The screen to Palmer dumb play. RW1 should get the screens he’s a stud receiving back. There was no hurry up or urgency towards the end when we had the ball down 2 scores. BOWLES IS THE WINSTON OF COACHES DUMB DECISION ALL THE TIME BY THE COACH. defense has played terrible to QBs who arnt very good. Bring BA back please and get rid of Bowles
November 26th, 2023 at 7:56 pm
You Trask losers are pathetic, give it up, the guy has a noodle arm.
Seems the Gator fans are extra triggered today….wonder why? Hmmm 🤔🤔

November 26th, 2023 at 8:07 pm
When the fastest player on the field catches 4 passes for 16 yards, I have to question the play calling, as well. The coaching all around, really.
November 26th, 2023 at 8:09 pm
Mayfield stat line in 2023 is nearly identical to MaHomes in 2023 except that Patrick has more interceptions. This game was lost today because defense couldn’t stop anybody. Didn’t help the cause that Payton like Otton last week dropped a perfect TD pass. With a porous defense, can’t make those mistakes.
November 26th, 2023 at 8:11 pm
We are now at the point where we may as well throw Trask in.
And that’s when the Traskies are gonna most likely have to eat crow or accept that Baker wasn’t the problem. Trask will get murdered behind this o-line.

You seem to be half way reasonable so question
Where? I have now seen four sacks and have seen no indication of that so at most two times I didn’t see? the only thing I can make sense of is that when he runs and doesn’t pick up yards thats called holding on to the ball. But like I said
You can’t cheer when the runs work and call foul on him trying when they don’t.

That is it in a nutshell. So, what is the problem with the Bucs and Joe not wanting to even SEE what the Trask kid can do? It makes no football sense to not play your high draft picks. It’s frikin retarded if you ask me.
November 26th, 2023 at 8:29 pm
First, Baker was 22nd in yards per attempt at the start of this game. Might have dropped some more. So his “top 15” stats are looser stats. Second, he has only managed to have one game where none of his passes were batted down. He’s had at least 1 pass batted down in all the rest, with several games having 2 or more. Third, when you gas your defense early by putting them right back on the field after a long drive by Indy, and then can’t keep up scoring, it deflates your defense. The defense did force the Colts to punt a few times, so we had our chances, and Baker, again, failed to bake.
November 26th, 2023 at 8:30 pm
have said it a million times on this site. No Oline and a defense that cant win games. To many big plays. Yes White rushed for 100 today, but almost all outside red zone. This line cant get it done most of imes never mind in the red zone!!! The line is soft, weak, and gets pushed around when it counts.
Hey Joe, can you talk to the players again and get them to talk about Brady and how it is good that Brady isnt here, like Brady wad the problem last year?
This team is full of a bunch of pathetic losers who had a 7 time superbowl winner and still doesnt understand what wins in the NFL!
November 26th, 2023 at 8:30 pm

November 26th, 2023 at 8:32 pm
Mayfield,Trask Peyton Manning doesn’t matter to me I just want see some wins with consistency and see good play from the Bucs. I ve been keeping an eye on the Texans they were 8” from winning their 7th game and their play is just fun to watch. Again, this is a team with a rookie QB and HC and a organization that had just been horrible
November 26th, 2023 at 8:33 pm
Can we start Trask for the remainder of the season to see what he has and also give him a chance that other teams can see. What do we really have to lose? Give him a chance. This is not a Super Bowl Team, Barely a wildcard team.
November 26th, 2023 at 8:40 pm
Rod, I know your immune to facts but Bakers stat line is quite literally almost identical to Mahomes.
Mayfield has a 91 QB rating (17 TD 7 INT) while Mahomes has 93. (19 TD 9 INT)
Obviously, nobodys saying Baker is on Mahomes level (no one is) but the fact that the stats are similar proves that the QB is not the problem for the Bucs.
Again, it’s a fact. But coming from the maker of “275 yards 2 TDs and 0 Ints is a bad statline” I’m not surprised.
November 26th, 2023 at 8:41 pm
Buc’s got no money, sad, hard to get to where they need to be with no room and $
Not sure where u start, DB’s, OL, DL, need to get some of these young stud WR, keep Evans on as long as possible on resonable terms.
IDK, they’re not playing well
November 26th, 2023 at 8:44 pm

he thought eagles should punt with .30 seconds in the 4th qtr on 4th down.
November 26th, 2023 at 8:51 pm
I AM CALLING FRAUD ON JOE AND COMMENTERS
I didn’t get to see the end of the game. I took all your words for it on the fumble that ended the game –
All I can say after reviewing the fumble is all you guys in central florida ( I am more to the south) must use some good stuff when you watch the game that even South Beach Miami doesn’t have.
Baker had the ball all of 3.5 seconds and there was only a FOUR MAN Defensive line and our line so botched the protection Baker was looking to go deep and was stripped from behind when just about to release the ball at the 3 second mark
There was no holding the ball too long. This was ridiculously bad protection without even a real pass rush on. I hereby absolve Baker entirely and my bet is when the coaches view the film they will say the same thing.
as for holding the ball too long. I reviewed most of the sacks and saw no such thing. Heres what the real story is –
Bowles , baker and even Canales don’t stink as much as the TEAM stinks. You all including the Joes just don’t want to admit it and want a one shot fix like you got with Brady. Put on your long pants and take off the boy shorts. The team is neither talented on Offense or on Defense. You have two threats on offense and nothing else. You have three or four players on defense but with defense and offense thats 5/6 out 22
Team sucks. Go get a QB after the real 2/3 superstars are picked and we have a good shot of looking like the Panthers. You NEED to because when even the media is in on such analysis as blaming the QB for a botched oline protection Baker has good cause to walk regardless of even making the playoffs
Lets have Trask – We can at least see those alleged perfect spirals thrown to the back of the end zone with no room to make a catch as perfect placement :).

What a couple of loser coaches – they only have one combined timeout between the two with 20 seconds left.
And the Eagles kicking a FG from 59 yards instead of punting? This clown coaching the Eagles has no clue – you punt from the 40, always.

Rod is an idiot,
he thought eagles should punt with .30 seconds in the 4th qtr on 4th down.

he was also calling for a 59 yard field goal as I recall before the half knowing full well our defense was easily allowing passes down the field. I guess Rod thought a shorter field would confuse the Colts if we missed..
November 26th, 2023 at 9:06 pm
The hype was all hype and Baker is busting on his 4th team. Time to see what our second-round draft pick can do with the starters in a game. Nobody has seen it so nobody knows. That this is the kid’s third season with the Bucs and he still has not played with the starters in any game whatsoever speaks to the gross dysfunctionality of the franchise. From the Glazers down to the ball boy, they should all be ashamed of themselves.

‘This game was lost today because defense couldn’t stop anybody.’
This statement is wrong.
Even with the bad defense, we cam within 7 points.
This game was lost because Baker Mayfield fumbled and Todd Bowles stupidly did not call a timeout with 3 minutes on the clock.
Bowles totally gave up.

You morons commenting on Baker’s height needs to have their heads examined. He’s 6’1″. Same height as Jalen Hurts. Lamar Jackson is a whopping one inch taller then that. Russell Wilson is shorter. His height is not an issue.
Did height help Mike Glennon? Did Drew Brees’ height hurt his career?
It’s a dumb argument by the knuckle dragging mouth breathers.

Thats good news Bonzai. So that mean Baker didn’t lose us the game. Anyone that looks at the film will see the oline screwed up badly and allowed the FOUR man defensive line to reach the QB in 3 seconds as his hand was back about to throw deep.
No Qb can be blamed for that.
Go bake.
November 26th, 2023 at 9:56 pm
Tony Marks, Baker Mayfield sucks. You continue to wave the flag for him and stinks! He terrible beyond 10 yards down field, you cannot play in the NFL if you can’t throw down field accurately. The commentators even chimed in at how terrible he is completely a forward pass beyond 10 yards.
November 26th, 2023 at 9:57 pm
If the rest of team excluding a few had this man’s fire I promise you we would not be 4-7.
November 26th, 2023 at 10:02 pm

Baker is rated top 15 in the league. Kiddies writing on blogs doesn’t change that. However Seems to me it will soon be your guy’s time under the lights. I don’t want to hear anything about Trask not having experience. He’s been in the league three years and is paid to be ready. I expect and will hold him to play well against the lousy Panthers. We will see when he plays atlanta or the Jaguars.
November 26th, 2023 at 10:20 pm
Tony Marks, White was open in front of him for the first down. Good QB’s know when they have to get rid of the ball and to take what the defense gives them. He failed, plus he could have stepped up to the line of scrimmage and gotten and extra second. Further, 3.5 seconds is an eternity in the NFL. If I recall Canales wants the ball gone in 2.7 seconds.
And to the idiot actually comparing Baker to Mahomes…just GTFO. Baker isn’t even in Mahomes zip code. They’ve only scored more than 20 points 3 times all season with this joker at QB.
November 26th, 2023 at 10:20 pm
Trask may not be any good, at this point what’s the harm in seeing? The Bucs continue to lose, they can’t score points. The offense is not rolling with Mayfield, if the other guy does not perform any better then you look to the draft or free agency. This team will go nowhere with Mayfield.

because the first time you claimed this you said “seemed to have been saying ” to now them actually saying it.
Its all obvious total garbage on your part because everyone knows Baker routinely makes passes more than ten yards. Some complain about deep balls but those are much longer than 10 yards.

just looking at multiple lost opportunities with less than five yards and goal this team EASILY has two more wins and is leading the division with a consistent running game.

I’m sorry Tony, success is determined by wins and losses.
November 26th, 2023 at 10:32 pm
Baker has completed 64.7% of his passes with 17 TD and 7 INT. Joe Burrow (10 games) had completed 66.8% of his passes with 15 TD and 6 INT. Baker had the exact same number of TD passes and INT as Burrow before today’s game. Baker has 6 more TD passes than Trevor Lawrence with only 1 more INT.
The Bucs would be tied for 1rst in this awful division if Buc defense could have kept Texans out of the end zone with 45 seconds left and ball on their own 25. BTW – Baker put Bucs ahead with TD pass. If Godwin had actually turned around in time and located ball, he could have made catch on perfect “Hail Mary” pass by Baker to beat the Bills.
Nobody said Baker Mayfield is an elite QB but he has performed pretty well for a guy making at most 8 million this year.

Total bull. In fact total bull squared You want to AVERAGE 2.7. If you are going long then you need more than that just to have your receivers get separation and down the field in their routes. .
Do you watch any NFL? Qbs REGULARLY hold the ball up 4 and five seconds when going deep. You are just making excuses because the film doesn’t lie. NO way should a four man front get to the QB So deeply as to get him from behind as he pulls back to make a throw. Its a CLEAR blunder on the OLine.
November 26th, 2023 at 10:46 pm
Perfect time to give Trask a shot.
It’s his 3rd season. 11 games in a new offense.
Full week of practice as starter with Mayfields injury against a weak opponent at home.
I could be wrong, but I don’t see him making the costly mistakes Baker makes. He’s been better than expected but he lost us this game even with a run game.

thats right for the whole team – not one player. If you want a sport where one person wins or loses a game kid – try tennis or golf. Come back when you learn the NFL is a team sport.
What traskies like you can’r accept is that the whole teams sucks. so you want one person as a scape goat one player or coach fix .
and don’t even think you will be able to back pedal like you already tried . Trask better perform because a lot of you been claiming he is the answer – now as the day approaches I see a lot of you starting to try and tone down expectations – I wonder why? lolol.
I’ll be rooting for him but don’t think that translates for a second to letting you guys off the hook. His attitude has been fine so he gets my pass but his fans will hear an earful if he is not this elite QB that tears up the world like you all claimed he has a reasonable chance of being.
the schedule is pretty soft so he better look top 10 and tear up the remaining games because since according to you top 14 sucks if he’s not top ten then he deserves the same suck grade you gave — or worse.
November 26th, 2023 at 10:52 pm

Its puuurfect for him and he should be okay against such an inferior opponent but it won’t mean a thing until he plays better than the bottom of the barrel team However since this is a total gimme game I dont want to hear about inexperience in games after that . He better tear up the league like you all said he would.

I went to college in Tallahassee, I’m not the one here embarrassing themselves with the pro Mayfield talk. I’m a Buccaneer fan over 30 years as a season ticket holder. The Bucs invested a 2nd round draft pick on a QB who has not had an opportunity, the guy who is taking snaps is a loser, on his 4th team in over a year. When the team loses 6 out of the last 7 it’s not good. At this point and my opinion let’s see what Trask can do. If he falters then you look to the draft and start new. Im sorry to offend you, Mayfield ain’t it. I totally understand the team game and there are plenty of weaknesses, QB play is definitely one of them. Mayfield struggles with downfield accuracy, the big play doesn’t exist in this offense.
November 26th, 2023 at 11:07 pm
Baker and Toilet Bowl are done. Baker fans go away and stop bragging Baker stats with Joe B. and other elite qb’s. He The difference is they win while scoring in when they matter the most not in garbage times. He is 1-6 just shut up Baker fans. You making us feel sick after losing to a terrible Colts team.

LOl if you think we are going anywhere you are delusional as always kid. Your guy came in and threw a ball to a spot a receiver could never stay in bounds. Our guy is injured ( like I said he would be all season) so its time to put up or shut up. NO EXCUSES. he’s been in the league three years and he is paid to be ready.
Next Sunday is as close to a preseason game you are going to get. I can’t see ANY QB being able to mess that up. Call me when he is showing himself to be a top ten QB against Atlanta , Jacksonville etc
IN fact the way you have been going on and talking all season – Trask better not drop a single game or he sucks because this is the softest part of the season.
November 26th, 2023 at 11:28 pm

Gus ,
You claim the Bucs are showing how dysfunctional the team is because trask hasn’t played in a game with all eleven first teamers.
First, that literally makes no sense whatsoever. Teams don’t give out participation starts. It’s not like any team in the NFL has a QB developmental program. If they did then the draft would be much easier to draft a player.
Coaches aren’t responsible for Trask’s development, nor is management. The only one responsible is… wait for it .. wait … trask ! He’s responsible for his development or lack thereof.
This he has not played with starters. True. But you have to earn your spot to play with them. And according to reports from jets practice, trask has a habit of looking good and then he gets in with the starters and something goes wrong.
Read it again and again. That’s from practices with the jets.
If trask isn’t the best player on the 2nd team or third iteams then wtf !
They just hand him a start to make all you butt hurt fan bois feel better?
Thats what it seems like and its seems traskies are soft and emotionally unstable . Reason over emotions is how us men do things. We don’t hand out participation trophies or starts to make you feel good.
Toughen up , get trt or something but stop being ..a whiny Karen in a gator tee shirt. Or just transition.

MY preferred Qb is injured and can’t play ( and by the sound of it gritted it out to play nearly the whole game injured) . I have nothing to be offended about. NO one cares what you think. You make make no decisions and Baker is not being benched healthy but on an injury.
Get….a ….grip
I am just putting you on fair notice that for all the smack you talked during the season regarding Baker and how Trask was a viable candidate not just for a starter but the answer to the bucs need for an elite QB
You are going to be HELD to that standard not be allowed to walk it back . IF baker at top 14 sucks then your boy better show himself against REAL teams better than the panthers to be top ten in the league or he will EQUALLY or MORE suck.
No double standards No excuses. Go Trask!!
November 26th, 2023 at 11:38 pm

Youve been clamoring for Trask all off-season and even when Baker has exceeded expectations from his play you and all the other Trask lovers still can’t accept it and recognize the real problems with this team. (Defense and lack of weapons on O)
Did you miss Trey Palmer dropping a wide open pass that would’ve been a huge gain?
Outside of the Traskies that seem to run rapant on this site, it’s widely accepted amongst NFL circles and other Bucs fans that Baker has been a line bright spot on a bad team.
As long as the Bucs still have a shot to make the playoffs, Bakers not getting benched this season so deal with it.

From what I am reading I think its doubtful baker will be ready for next game and I certainly don’t think he should push it. SO Trask is likely to get a start and playing against the scrum of the litter panthers will prove nothing so frankly I hope he gets more than one start.
I am just noticing with all these calls for trask ALL SEASON and all that he would likely bring to the game all the traskies are now – well errr we aren’t saying he is going to tear it up.
really? I’ve been reading it all season long but now the time approaches its full reverse. every single regularly Baker hater commenter has said Trask can’t do any worse. So if top 14 in the league sucks then unless Trask shows himself to be top ten or better – he then would suck by the same standard

The players are not being utilized to their abilities on offense the defense gets picked apart by mediocre to Great offenses to me what’s going on is all on the coaches the coaches don’t mesh well with the talent of the team and the ability of the players they’re not playing to the player’s strengths they’re not adapting when they’re behind to me it’s coaching issues because we all know as Bucs fans we have the talent

November 27th, 2023 at 6:23 am
Tony Marks, you need to wipe your chin, as you have something dripping off it. Seriously dude, your unrepentant love of Baker is just disgusting. I’ve been watching football since I was a kid during the McKay days. I’ve seen the good and bad with this team and been there the whole time cheering them on. I know a bad QB when I see it, and Mayfield is bad. A good QB knows, especially by the 4th quarter when he’s already had 5 sacks, that he doesn’t have time to dilly dally and keep the eyes downfield in that situation. White was literally a few yards in front of him and could easily make the first down. He should have felt the pressure and let it go quickly to White and live for the next play. He didn’t. And lost the game…again. The defense is getting tired, and making way too many mistakes. The solution is to actually score early and get up on teams, so they can go into full pressure mode. We haven’t scored a TD yet on the first drive, and regularly only get 7 points a half. Most of Baker’s best stats have come late agains prevent defenses. And yet, you’re still defending him. Pathetic.
November 27th, 2023 at 6:46 am
this was the game the buccs have been waiting for finally a run game except the defense could not stop the other team from going up and down the field and get points. Where was the blitz? What about the evans catch that the red flag was never thrown-Canales should have been answering questions right after the game. This team can still win the division and that starts with a win this Sunday-if they cannot win that game its over. If lavonte can play next week bench devin white and put in dennis he looked much better.
November 27th, 2023 at 7:45 am
maccafan@ Burrows missed 1 game and 1/2 earlier in the season and played through the injury. It boggles the mind the Baker boys throw out Brady,
Mahomes, Burrows as comparisons to Mayfield. He lacks the arm, skill and mental awareness of all those QB’s. He is 15 for a reason, he is average!!! Except it.
November 27th, 2023 at 11:22 am
Basically same comparison I make, Baker is far to inconsistent to be a super bowl winning QB, I’m just surprised he hasn’t taken the int record from Jameis yet. He’s proven to be mediocre everywhere he’s played, idk how anyone thought this was a good idea.
November 28th, 2023 at 1:57 am
Baker has been a top 14 QB this year. Imagine where he’d be without all the dropped TD’s and chunk plays. Probably top 10. You people calling for Trask just don’t know football or are Baker haters.
If the defense can play at a top 20 level and Baker can stay healthy they’ll still win the division. Get used to Baker. TB will extend him after the season for sure.
November 28th, 2023 at 6:48 am
Todd licht was actually brilliant in signing Baker. 1. Cost hardly anything 2. If they win great. 3. If they lose it is a tank and a high draft pick… 4. Bucs can,t be charged with tanking because it was not obvious like what Charlotte is doing. 5. Deep draft so somebody good will be left mid to late round. 6. Baker will Be a better coach than player.

Watch More All-22 Before Commenting, Thank you! It seems no one else on here watches what’s is going on in the game, much less look at the film. How many times do the Bucs get a short field to score due to good defense? Seems it is always 80-90 yards to score. % of success is low for all the NFL in that situation.
November 29th, 2023 at 10:45 am
D-Rome, exactly. Mayfield is the same height as the guy everyone wants to draft, Williams of USC.
November 29th, 2023 at 11:38 am
RGA, the fastest receiver the Bucs have can not get past 30 yards in a sprint, not a pattern, in the 3 second time Mayfield has to throw. So how is accuracy on throws, that he doesn’t have time to make, his problem? You know nothing RGA.
