“What’s Wrong With You?”
July 15th, 2026
Moving moment in the Quarterback docuseries on Netflix featuring Baker Mayfield, along with Joe Flacco, Jayden Daniels and Cam Ward.
At a Bucs practice following the Week 3 win against the Jets, Mayfield’s throwing arm is hurting after an injury suffered in that game.
Mayfield is trying to hide the bicep issue and swelling. Receiver Sterling Shepard senses a problem.
Sterling Shepard: What’s wrong with you? (pause) What’s wrong with you?
Baker Mayfield: What do you mean?
Shepard: Your knee?
Mayfield: No, my arm.
Shepard: Fu*c is wrong with your arm?
Mayfield: When i got it hit on the Z-choice [play].
Shepard then reacted in horror when Mayfield showed him his bicep area.
Mayfield is then seen talking to Mike Evans about the bad arm. He says to Evans, “there’s so much bruising but it doesn’t, it’s not even bruised on the part where it hurts. It hurts on like a tendon right there.”
Evans looks on as Mayfield rolls back his sleeve to show the bruising. “Whoa!” Evans reacts.
Netflix then shows pictures of the wide range of bruising on Mayfield’s arm, from below the elbow to near the armpit.
The Bucs lost in Week 4 to the Eagles, 31-25. Would a healthy Mayfield arm have made a difference? It might have on Mayfield’s red zone interception to Chris Godwin in the fourth quarter.

Joe… is every article going to be if Mayfield was not hurt would they have won. I would say if this team as a whole played better ball they could of at least won one more game.

lol..c’mon lol…baker wasnt the only player dealing with bumps and bruises lol
wonder howlong its going to take for the baker fan club to chime in lol
GO BUCS!!!!

Pretty sure if we didn’t start the game with a blocked punt it would have been better. But yeah, maybe a healthy throwing arm would have enough zip on it to get past the guy who tipped it.
But also, that was last year so I really don’t care anymore

I’ll just be glad when we get a franchise qb, a competent gm, and a good hc. You know stuff successful franchises do to stay relevant. I just don’t think baker is it especially long term, Jason needs to learn how to scout and evaluate positions other than o line and wr.

lol @ But also, that was last year so I really don’t care anymore

Pretty sure if they had better coaching they would have won a few more games by adjusted or maybe having a better backup but who cares really it already happened. Let’s hope we don’t see a repeat of the past oh look joes favorite word hope lol.

Any QB with an inexperienced offensive coordinator who can’t compensate for injured Oline and no Mike Evan’s will struggle. Remember special teams allowed a block punt return for a TD. Down 24-6 and defense eagles to a TD in second half. Final score was 31-25. Yes Baker threw an INT but we were behind the whole game.

Supposedly ‘professional’ decisions obviously weren’t so professional …
o Baker did the team no favors by insisting on ‘playing through the injury’.
o Bowles did the team no favors by not knowing what was going on with his QB & not pulling him.
o Licht did the team no favors by bringing on Bilgewater instead of a much more competent backup QB.
o Bucs’ OLine did Mayfield no favors by not adequately protecting him.
o And as an aside, Bucky Irving did the Bucs no favors by fumbling on the Tampa 25 yd line in the 3rd qtr, after our defense had already forced the Eagles to punt THREE times in the 3rd qtr. Hurts & Barkley combined on SIX straight rushes to punch the ball in for a TD (their ONLY points of the 2nd half and the difference in the ballgame).

813….trust me, i gave up a while back….no longer worth my time…makes me not read here much anymore. No offense to the Joe’s of course. its just ridiculous time after time, Baker hate everywhere, even in articles not discussing him. But im the one getting moderated the last 3 weeks…every comment.
So you win 813 and your Baker hating little girls….now go take a victory lap in heavy traffic on the skyway
July 15th, 2026 at 1:25 pm
Reality is reality!!! It is and was what it was! Now… Can the OL keep BM6 in a clean pocket long enough for him to pick apart the D???? Can the O line and RBs provide a run game?? These things will bring Ws!! Bring on September!!
July 15th, 2026 at 1:33 pm
crazy how some confuse facts with hate lol…
facts are:
baker won a playoff game in 23′
led the NFL in INTs and Fumbles in 24′
missed the playoffs in 25′
has MUCH to prove in 26′
GO BUCS!!!!

“Does a hurt arm affect a QB?”
lol.
July 15th, 2026 at 1:38 pm
Nov 7,2025 first poster hopes hopes Wirfs, Breadson and Barton snap out of their funk. All the time saying the Championship Defense was on display. Also in November he stated that the team was going to win 12 games Book It. And of course Giz needed to run the ball more and not get pass happy.
813 you need to read some of your own posts because we know you suddenly changed your tune. It’s all Baker’s fault now.
July 15th, 2026 at 1:40 pm
baker and kirk cousins led in fumbles and interceptios in 2024
July 15th, 2026 at 1:40 pm
You left out Baker leads the league in TDs since settling in here. He’s way up there in yards too. Isn’t that what a QB is supposed to do? Obviously, he’s doing his job and somebody else isn’t. I think that’s why we revamped the defense!
July 15th, 2026 at 1:41 pm
There was no injuries to him. He hasn’t had any surgery during the season or the off-season. Ask our site doctors.
July 15th, 2026 at 1:47 pm
DBS
and then the real baker showed up in DEC lol….
5 4th quarter turnovers in 4 games…
nice try bakerfanboi!!!!
GO BUCS!!!!
July 15th, 2026 at 1:55 pm
Is every episode of the show going to feature Joe asking “could a fully healthy mayfield won more games?”
July 15th, 2026 at 1:55 pm
813, well it didn’t take too long for his detractors to show up. Beat the other guys to the punch so to speak.
July 15th, 2026 at 2:01 pm
I don’t care how tough you are, how much “moxie” you have, or whether or not you’re a “franchise QB”. If your throwing arm is hurt, it’s going to affect your throwing motion and accuracy. Period.
July 15th, 2026 at 2:02 pm
813,
You just plain hate Baker and look for any excuse you can to bash him. I’m like some of the other others it’s not even worth reading anymore.
July 15th, 2026 at 2:26 pm
Waiting for Rod Munch’s comment……….
July 15th, 2026 at 2:42 pm
i dont hate baker lol…again, stating facts doesnt equal hate lol
some of you make excuses and ignore the facts lol
GO BUCS!!!
July 15th, 2026 at 2:46 pm
Ive stated facts regarding bowles and you clowns eat it up lol..no one calls me a hater…..when the facts are brought up regarding baker, its excuse season from the bakerbunch lol
GO BUCS!!!!

Individual stats are not what you have a franchise QB to do as his main goal.
Winning football games should be the focus for a franchise seriously competing for another title.
After the 3-0 start we were 5-9. That’s a .357 win percentage. Sub par.
Would you rather be with the 9-10 hot girl that is fun to be around but dumb as dirt, or the solid 7 girl that treats you right and can help you win a scrabble tournament?
Looks fade away but intelligence and consistency are long lasting traits that win.

Seems to me the todd bowles hate was and is a lil unnecessary. It’s clear todd put together a team that could have made the playoffs if the “star” QB ego wasn’t so big. The defense wasn’t great but baker was terrible and a lot of those final losses you have to put it square on baker shoulders not the coach.
July 15th, 2026 at 3:12 pm
I no longer care about sh#t that went on last season.
July 15th, 2026 at 3:18 pm
“Would a healthy Mayfield arm…”
Tough call, Joe
The Eagles are no slouches.
Sure, we’ve had pretty good luck against them the past few years, but there were a lot of mistakes in that game that weren’t on Baker.
We crawled back to within 6 points of them in the 4th, so maybe we would have.
July 15th, 2026 at 3:24 pm
Is Baker ever not hurt?
Also, come on… “The Bucs lost in Week 4 to the Eagles, 31-25. Would a healthy Mayfield arm have made a difference?”
The Bucs got blown out that game, it was only close on paper because the Eagles just sat on their huge lead. It would be like pretending the Dolphins or Pat games were close because Baker got some late garbage time stats.
July 15th, 2026 at 3:51 pm
If a player is hurt that is a fact. And the injury can effect his performance, another fact. Saying an injury is just an excuse and the guy sucks because YOU want to crawl on that dung heap and crow is showing ones ignorance and 13 year old troll wannaa-be self.
July 15th, 2026 at 4:08 pm
It sound like the Bucs need to hack that audio feed so that they know the condition of their QB.
But, for a team that has clearly been rebuilding, just getting good starters on the field has to come before getting good backups.
This year it looks like the Bucs are coming much closer to succeeding in doing both.
July 15th, 2026 at 4:09 pm
The best part of last night was watching 6, getting tackled by the cops!!!
July 15th, 2026 at 4:10 pm
Muncheslikeitsgoingoutofstyle. Your comment about garbage time stats lets some light in on your astonishing knowledge of the game of football. Just saying.
July 15th, 2026 at 4:25 pm
I honestly don’t think this show is helping Bake at all. It showcases his ego and lack of intelligence regarding his health and how to play the game.
813, Rod, Melvin, myself and other are just stating facts. The word hater gets thrown around so much its obvious yall dont know what it means. To hate on someone, that person has to be successful or the best at what they do while being nitpicked or “unfairly” criticized. This clearly isn’t the case.
What’s so crazy to me is how so tightly some of you hold onto Baker being a Buc. As if, there’s no other option forever if he leaves. Its so strange, especially for a player who’s biggest NFL milestone is a division playoff loss.
July 15th, 2026 at 4:40 pm
Plenty of blame to go around for the loses last year. It’s much easier to talk about the very few players that played well. Thinking back in the year, the 6-2 start was a miracle with the horrible special teams play.
July 15th, 2026 at 4:47 pm
What a shocker. Someone with a negative view of Baker going into watching the show sees it as showing Baker in a negative light.
We see what we want to see.
July 15th, 2026 at 5:06 pm
” we see what we want to see”. That’s the truth. I’ve only been through one episode, but it looked like a positive spin to me. Showed his maturation. His mature family life. Growth as a football player and man. But yeah, I guess I’m just seeing what I want to see, right?
