Baker Mayfield Passing Chart
November 12th, 2026
Bucs QB Baker Mayfield.
Boy, failed Bucs offensive coordinator sure does like his nickel and dime passes.
Against the Bears, Bucs quarterback Baker Mayfield threw the ball 32 times. Some 15 of those attempts, nearly half, were no farther than five yards past the line of scrimmage.
An additional seven more were thrown between 5-15 yards from the line of scrimmage. Of Mayfield’s 32 attempts, seven were either at the line of scrimmage or behind the line of scrimmage.
The Bucs basically have no intermediate passing game. It’s either checkdowns or four-air-yards passes behind the line of scrimmage or bombs.
It’s bad, folks. But, since KitKat-eating Bucs coach Todd Bowles decided to keep rolling with the failed Robinson, this is what we will get for the next eight weeks.
Then, it will be on to the next offensive coordinator. And the way Robinson is running the offense into the ground, his looming vacancy won’t be the only one.

I don’t need the chart to know. I have been living through it. The $165M man. This is what you asked for.

What exactly is the problem Joe??? We’re winning every game we play.
Sure, the scoreboard doesn’t always reflect Todd’s genius. But that’s only due to the operator of the scoreboard being dyslexic.
In reality we are in fact beating every team. The refs are betting on the games and calling penalties to ensure they get paid.
Since we were gifted in 2022 with the HOF HC we’re undefeated. 77 straight regular season victories and 4-0 in the playoffs.
They managed to rob us of the SB titles because we beat everyone too much.

Nutty professor, sarcasm is not your bag. Stick to straight trolling. But you and McBay? Bedfellows for sure.

So nice! I said it twice.

Joe, we see you tryinf to make it sound like whwre Baker puts the ball on a given pass play is what Robinson wants, and it doesn’t work like that.

Warren Brooks Lynch … Nice try (sticking up for Zac Robinson), but Joe will have none of that. Zac is the guilty party du jour; not Baker, not the OLine, not the receivers. And as Joe concludes … “this is what we will get for the next eight weeks. Then, it will be on to the next offensive coordinator.”
For kicks, took a look back at 2024 when Kirk Cousins carved us up like a Thanksgiving turkey; Falcons won in OT 36-30. Cousins was 42-of-59 (71.2%) for 509 yds passing, 4 TDs with 1 INT. Granted that he threw a LOT of short passes (which we had trouble stopping), but he also threw 7 deep passes, and connected on 4 of those for 90 yds.
In their 2nd win against us that year (31-26), Cousins was 23-of-29 (79.3%) for 276 yds, 4 TDs and 0- INTs. Of those, he was 4-of-5 deep for 115 yds and 2 TDs.
Just using those 2 games, it looks to me like Zac isn’t a ‘Bombs Away’ type of OC, but rather he ‘selectively’ uses the deep pass, at least IF his QB & receivers have a decent chance of completing them. Cousins was 8-of-12 deep for 205 yds in those 2 games against us. So Cousins went deep a tad over 15% of the time (12-of-78 passes) and got 2 TDs out of it.
Maybe it’s the QB? Maybe it’s the receivers?

@DR
Doesn’t work like that either, you cannot take the production of QB-1 & QB-2 to make a case for the OC they shared to make the case for the OC choosing who a play is designed for compared to who the QB decides to actually pass the ball too.
Look up any of the passing charts from last year, would make a better case over a Kurt Cousin volume comparison from 1-2 games. Also, saying that as if Mayfield & Cousins are the same player, and I’d argue Cousins is better from the pocket. Not as mobile, but as far as standing in there going through reads to make a decision.
Kurt clears Baker, again an OC can want to do something like duo blocking, but at some point you might realize it may not be a strongsuit/best case with what tou have to work with. So you incorporate more gap, but we’re not givng Robinson credit for seal outs or pulling to set a trap/counter up. So why do it in just 1 aspect of the offense? To make an excuse? Needing a bag man? Not wanting to call out our low emotional IQ QB? Who lashed out about being thrown out like trash, just to come into this season and play…like trash.

🤮
Joes blame everyone except those IN CHARGE!
Shameful pandering!

Get Baker out of the pocket… When is the last time we saw a play-action bootlegs or a designed rollout?
Baker stinks in the pocket but he can throw pretty well on the run.
I’m not asking for non-stop rollouts but how about a few per game?
To keep doing what we are doing over and over seems a bit insane to me…

Zac Robinson the next sacrificial lamb. Joe can’t fool us, we know who should get the blame.

I found this interesting:
“According to historical analysis from Pro Football History, roughly 17 out of 25 teams (and 10 out of 16 (63%) recent midseason offensive changes) saw an improvement in their end-of-season winning percentages or scoring output after firing their OC”
