Icecube Posted September 19, 2019 Report Share Posted September 19, 2019 Today he was saying Baker's off-field distractions are hurting his game. He said he was doing too many commercials and things. Said Lamar Jackson was doing no commercials or anything like that, and he was obviously spending time in the weight room instead. He feels you need to focus on being great before you focus on building your brand. We shall see if he's right or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not about "who says what" it's about what has truth to it. Baker had 13 commercials and 9 magazine articles in the offseason. Has he looked prepared to you in the 1st two weeks? Can you answer that with honesty? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baker had 13 commercials and 9 magazine articles in the offseason. Has he looked prepared to you in the 1st two weeks? Can you answer that with honesty? Cowherd is saying that's cause and effect. Possible? Sure. He has zero proof of what Baker is doing in regards to game prep. Kitchens even came out saying he's at least party responsible for Baker looking bad. And Cow-pie made sure he kissed Jackson's ass because he's looked good- playing two lousy defenses. Hardly anything to relate that to him not doing endorsements. Let's not forget Mayfield had zero preseason game reps with OBJ, and I've already said in multiple threads- if there was any defensive coordinator who knew exactly how to mess up Baker it was Greg Williams. If Mayfield still looks like crap against the Rams Sunday night, I may start buying that argument- but I can just as easily attribute it to the dreaded "sophomore slump" that has afflicted many top QBs. Not what he's doing with endorsements. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyingfooldoug Posted September 19, 2019 Report Share Posted September 19, 2019 Those tv commercials took about 2 days. The magazine articles, some were cobbled together from April. If Baker really does have any issues, too much sex. After all, he is a newlywed. And that’s bullshit too. The kid has a great work ethic. Blame the cba if anything 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jackson played the Dolphins and the Cardinals....the two worst teams in the league. He could have been distracted all he wants and he could have won those games. Besides...have you heard Jackson talk? He can barely speak English, and when he does he sounds like a Goombah. No one wants a spokesman like that. Very difficult to understand him when he talks: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Making a few extra bucks doing a few spots might be ok. Being all over the TV might be some overkill by the #1 pick in the draft..... unless you're tearing it up on the field. I guess we will wait and see. Oh he doesn't really need the money. The team did not disclose the contract details. NFL Network reported that the contract was a four-year deal with $32.68 million guaranteed and a $21.85 million signing bonus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tour2ma Posted September 20, 2019 Report Share Posted September 20, 2019 He's an asshat, but Cowherd's take is plausible. I'm seeing a lot of Baker.. and I'm out-of-market. He aggressively built his "brand" from ground zero over the off-season. If you think he's not thinking about the business of him many, many time over the time spent on set for a shoot... then then I don't think you understand branding. Mahomes? One commercial... with Aaron Rodgers.... and Patrick ain't all that photogenic either. Freddie stood up and took the bullet for Baker's performance to date... and I for one believe him. We'll get a glimpse Sunday. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyingfooldoug Posted September 20, 2019 Report Share Posted September 20, 2019 I see Mahomes all the time. So he sells State Farm and that’s different than Progressive .... how? I see way more of Patty than I do Baker and I’m in the Cleveland market. One commercial? No way Jose Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zombo Posted September 20, 2019 Report Share Posted September 20, 2019 One thing I am not worried about is Baker Reagan Mayfield and his focus on leading this team.

I think Baker's "problems" are 75% not HIS problem.....but the problem of the coaching and the OL. I will give you that Baker has had some bad, off target throws. But he is rushed to get the play off every time because the plays come in late....and he has not time to read the defenses or do other things necessary to total success. It puts him totally off his rhythm. His leaky OL doesn't help. Not saying they have been horrible....but they could have been a damned sight better. Plus, really he is learning a new offense.

It may be a combination of both.. the sideline is not getting the play in on time causing him to have no time to read defenses/call changes etc. where he has to have the snap in short order....then yes....it can appear that a lack of time can cause a lack of focus. Many things done in a hurried manner are done sloppily. Including having to play QB in the NFL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
