Green Bay Packers’ Lambeau Field isn’t a place where opposing quarterbacks usually thrive. However, that didn’t stop Tampa Bay Buccaneers’ Baker Mayfield from becoming only the second quarterback in history to have a perfect passer rating at the legendary stadium in Sunday’s 34-20 victory over the Packers.

Mayfield delivered arguably his best performance of the season against the Packers. He completed 22 out of 28 pass attempts while throwing for 381 yards, four touchdowns, and no interceptions for a perfect rating of 158.3. The only other QB with a perfect passer rating at Lambeau Field is Packers’ legend Aaron Rodgers, who did it back in 2019.

Mayfield played on Lambeau Field two times on previous occasions, but he notched two losses and overall struggled. It is why he described his performance on Sunday as “third time’s a charm.”

“Our team was really prepared to come in here. Just like we talked about that mentality, the playoff mentality, to come in here with one job in mind and just find a way to win, and we did that,” Mayfield said after the game.

The win allowed the Buccaneers to remain ahead of the New Orleans Saints and on top of the NFC South with a 7-7 record. The Packers, on the other hand, fell to a 6-8 record and face an uphill battle to sneak into the playoffs.

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have announced veteran signal-caller Baker Mayfield as their starting quarterback for Week 1 of the 2023 NFL season. Mayfield will start for his fourth team since entering the league as the No. 1 overall pick in 2018 by the Cleveland Browns.

Mayfield joined the Bucs on a one-year, $4 million deal in the offseason. He previously played for the Browns, the Carolina Panthers, and the Los Angeles Rams.

Mayfield winning the starting job with the Bucs doesn’t surprise. Although Tampa Bay insisted that it is a real competition between him and 2021’s second-round selection Kyle Trusk, it seemed that it was Mayfield’s job to lose.

Speaking with the reporters about his decision, Bucs’ head coach Todd Bowles said that the coaching staff likes the progress Trusk has made but that Mayfield got the upper hand thanks to his experience.

“Baker’s our starting quarterback, Kyle’s our No. 2,” Bowles said. “We love everything Kyle has done. And he’s gotten leaps and bounds better than he was in the spring, and he’s continuing to get better, and we’re excited about him. But Baker’s our guy right now — experience-wise and just understanding the playbook just a little bit better.”

After spending four years with the Browns, Mayfield was traded to the Carolina Panthers during the 2022 offseason. He played seven games with the Panthers, starting six, before being released by the team. The Oklahoma product was then claimed off waivers by the Rams, where he started four games.

Mayfield completed 60.0 of his passes in 2022, throwing for 2,163 yards, 10 touchdowns, and eight picks.

The 2022 season is proving to be rough on quarterback Baker Mayfield. The former first-overall pick has gone from being a starter in the league in Week 1 to becoming unemployed by Week 13.

According to multiple reports, the Carolina Panthers have released Mayfield on Monday. The 27-year-old player is now heading to waivers and, if not claimed by another team, will become a free agent.

The move was a mutual decision by the two parties. After losing his status as a starter, Mayfield realized he would have to look for opportunities elsewhere and asked the team to release him. The Panthers happily obliged, as they were already planning to let Oklahoma State product walk at the end of the season.

Mayfield joined the Panthers shortly before the start of the 2022 NFL season in a trade with the Cleveland Browns. Carolina hoped he would elevate a talented team and finally resolve their QB problems. But that wasn’t the case.

Mayfield mostly struggled during his time as starting signal-caller for the Panthers. He completed a career-low 57.8 percent of his passes while throwing for 1,313 yards, six touchdowns, and six interceptions in seven games. He was 1-5 as a starter.

The Panthers will now proceed with Sam Darnold and PJ Walker as their quarterbacks for the remainder of the season. Mayfield, on the other hand, will look for a place where he could make an impact. The San Francisco 49ers seem like a plausible destination considering that they have lost their starter Jimmy Garoppolo to a season-ending injury on Sunday.

Baker Mayfield’s era in Cleveland is officially over. The Browns announced that they have traded the 27-year-old quarterback to the Carolina Panthers in exchange for a conditional draft pick.

According to the official announcement, the Browns are entitled to a 2024 NFL Draft selection. They will reportedly get fourth-round or fifth-round selection depending on Mayfield’s time on the field.

Mayfield was on the trade market ever since the Browns finalized a trade for the Pro Bowler Deshaun Watson back in March. The Panthers were immediately one of the candidates for his next destination, but their unwillingness to take on Mayfield’s full $18.8 million salary in 2022 proved to be a stumbling block in the conversations.

ESPN’s Adam Schefter reports that the two teams eventually agreed to split the salary in a way that the Browns will pay $10.5 million while the Carolina will pitch in $4.85 million. Mayfield himself gave up the remaining $3.45 million in order to facilitate the move.

In Carolina, Baker Mayfield now gets to have a fresh start and a second chance to lead a franchise. However, he isn’t guaranteed a starting spot and will have to beat Sam Darnold and rookie Matt Coral for the job. Mayfield and Darnold both entered the league as part of the 2018 draft class, with Mayfield being selected first overall and Darnold being taken third overall.

Mayfield leaves Cleveland with 59 starts under his belt and a 29-30 record in four years with the Browns. He threw for 14,125 yards, 92 touchdowns, and 56 interceptions while completing 61.6 percent of his passes. The Browns made one postseason appearance with Mayfield under center, reaching the Divisional Round in 2020.

The Cleveland Browns will face the Denver Broncos on Thursday night without their starting quarterback Baker Mayfield. Instead of Mayfield, who is dealing with a shoulder injury, the Browns’ offense will be led by veteran Case Keenum.

The Browns made this decision after Mayfield practiced in a limited capacity in recent days. The 26-year-old initially got hurt in Week 2 against the Houston Texans but has continued to play through the injury since.

Reportedly, Cleveland hopes the added rest will allow Mayfield to continue playing this season and avoid the surgery. While he was officially diagnosed with a torn labrum, he didn’t have to undergo a procedure since it’s his left, non-throwing shoulder.

The game against the Broncos will be the first Mayfield misses in his NFL career since being named the starter in Week 3 of his rookie year.

For Case Keenum, on the other hand, this will be the first start since the 2019 season and first in Cleveland Browns’ uniform. Keenum signed with the Browns on a three-year, $18 million deal in 2020. The 33-year-old since attempted 13 passes in four relief appearances, throwing for 52 yards.

Keenum, who previously played for the Minnesota Vikings and the Broncos, among other teams, has 14,420 passing yards and 75 passing touchdowns in his NFL career.

It appears that there was something more to the poor performance that Cleveland Browns quarterback Baker Mayfield delivered against the Minnesota Vikings in Week 4 than just a bad day at work. According to the NFL Network, Mayfield has a partially torn labrum in his non-throwing left shoulder and has been playing through the injury for the past two weeks.

Mayfield got hurt in a 31-21 win over the Houston Texans while trying to make a tackle after he was intercepted. The 26-year-old star reportedly won’t need surgery at the moment and hasn’t missed any practice.

While the Browns managed to get a 14-7 win over the Vikings, Mayfield had one of his worst outings in recent memory. He completed just 45.5 percent of his passes while throwing for just 155 yards and no touchdowns.

So far in the season, Mayfield has only two passing touchdowns that rank him 30th in the league among starting quarterbacks. His 935 passing yards are enough for the 22nd spot while he ranks 26th in QBR.

Cleveland managed to overcome Mayfield’s poor performances so far, but he will have to significantly improve his game if the team wants to stay competitive in the AFC North. The Browns currently share a 3-1 record with the Baltimore Ravens and the Cincinnati Bengals and have a tough stretch ahead of them that includes a road game against the Los Angeles Chargers and a home game against the undefeated Arizona Cardinals.

Despite entering the last two minutes of the game against Oakland Raiders with a 42-34 advantage, Cleveland Browns couldn’t get the win on Sunday night. Raiders came in from behind to get a touchdown and 2-point conversion to force the game into overtime. There, they kept their cool and managed to get a win with a field goal.

This was a game that Browns supposed to win, and their rookie quarterback Baker Mayfield knows it. Talking with the reporters after the game, Mayfield, who made his first NFL career start against the Raiders, took the blame for the loss on himself.

“I’m the quarterback of this team,“- he said. “It’s on me.“

It was a game with many ups and downs for Mayfield. He completed 21 out of his 41 for 295 yards and two touchdowns. On the downside, he also threw two interceptions and committed two more turnovers.

While the game didn’t exactly turn the way Baker Mayfield would wish for, he still proved that Cleveland Browns made the right choice when they drafted him first overall in the 2018 NFL Draft. The 23-year old showed the ability to make big plays and accurate throws, leading the team to their highest scoring output since 2007. Mayfield was also one yard short from scoring his third touchdown, which would make him the only first overall pick to throw more than two touchdowns in his starting debut in NFL history.

Browns will welcome red-hot Baltimore Ravens next Sunday, and if Mayfield continues to learn from his mistakes, they might well have a chance in this game.

We finally got a chance to see Cleveland Browns rookie quarterback Baker Mayfield in action on Thursday night in the preseason opener against New York Giants.

Mayfield, the first overall pick in 2018 NFL Draft, took the field towards the end of the first quarter and threw away the football. This certainly made the Browns front office and coaching staff nervous, but the 23-year-old remained calm after the mistake. He then went on to complete 11 out of 20 passes for 212 yards and two touchdowns and seal 20-10 win over the Giants.

Baker Mayfield looked great on the field and convinced that the Browns didn’t make a mistake by drafting him. He showcased all the talents that made him the No.1 overall pick including his arm strength, mobility, and ability to make the right decisions under pressure.

While some people were caught by surprise with Mayfield’s ability, his coach Hue Jackson didn’t expect anything less.

“I thought he did some good things, I’m not surprised by anything Baker does because I see him do it on the practice field,” – said Jackson after the game. “Obviously, the throws he makes, the poise he has, he demonstrated all of that in college so I’m not surprised by it.“

The rookie quarterback, on the other hand, was more critical of himself, focusing on the areas where he can get better.

“Did some things well, but there’s definitely room for improvement,” – said Mayfield. “It’s good to get it out there early to where you can work on that and make sure it doesn’t happen again and then I’m happy with where we progressed, you know we got into a little rhythm.“

Although this is just one game, it looks like Cleveland Browns have their quarterback of the future in Baker Mayfield. And Browns’ fans deserved to have a franchise quarterback after years of suffering, that’s for sure.

With 732 first-place votes and 2,398 points in the voting totals, the Oklahoma Sooners quarterback Baker Mayfield has run away with the Heisman Trophy. In the pursuit for the award, which honors the most outstanding player in college football in the United States, were also Stanford running back Bryce Love who ended second with 75 first-place votes and 1,300 points and third-placed Louisville quarterback Lamar Jackson. Jackson, who was last year’s Heisman Trophy winner, collected 47 first-place votes and 793 points.

“This is unbelievable for me, being up here among these greats,” – said Mayfield said upon receiving the award. “It’s something that words can’t even describe. God has put me in this position that I’m so blessed, and a lot of times I wonder why. But it’s such an honor to be up here. It’s unbelievable.“

Mayfield became the sixth University of Oklahoma player that won the trophy after Billy Vessels, Steve Owens, Billy Sims, Jason White and Sam Bradford. This means that his statue will soon be a part of Oklahoma’s Heisman Park. He also won multiple other awards in 2017 including Maxwell Award, Walter Camp Award and was named Associated Press Player of the Year. Oklahoma Sooners quarterback also became the only player in the history to start his career as a walk-on and win the Heisman Trophy.

Baker Mayfield had an amazing season, having completed 71.0 of his pass attempts (262 – 369) for 4,340 yards. He managed 41 touchdowns with just five interceptions. Despite his success at college, many football analysts doubt that Mayfield has what it takes to make it in NFL. He is considered undersized for his position, and also there is a belief that his power isn’t sufficient for the league. There is also the issue with his behavior off the field, that could make NFL GMs doubting he will be a good fit for their team.
