Baker Mayfield: I still can't believe the Giants drafted Daniel Jones with their #1 pick

Near our booth, a SportsCenter segment about the New York Giants catches Mayfield's eye. “I cannot believe the Giants took Daniel Jones,” Mayfield says, about New York's much-maligned draft-day decision to spend the sixth pick on the quarterback from Duke (whose college record was a measly 17–19). “Blows my mind.”
I tell Mayfield that I'm mystified that so many supposedly expert quarterback scouts seem unable to predict what makes a good NFL quarterback.
“Some people overthink it,” Mayfield says. “That's where people go wrong. They forget you've gotta win.”
To Mayfield, the characteristics of a great quarterback are simple. “Either you have a history of winning and being that guy for your team,” he says, “or you don't.”

Realistically he’s sour that he has to be a franchise QB in Cleveland

I wonder, was he a Haskins guy like plenty of other people?

Baker just needs to stfu sometimes. Come on man.

John Elway never went to a bowl game and went 20-23 while he was QB at Stanford so...

I think he wanted the Giants to trade up and take him

Baker would have drafted Greg McElroy #1.
Reason #57363847 why it’s pointless to listen to athletes rank and discuss other athletes.

He isn't afraid to speak his mind, never has been.

I don't think Daniel Jones was good pick by the Giants, but LOL at Baker thinking QB winz is the defining factor for evaluating quarterback play- ESPECIALLY with the talent disparities in college football.

Actually reading the article, and not just the headline, it's not as bad as I thought
Posted on 8/20/19 at 9:19 am to Bench McElroy
I mean based off of the quote alone he's not taking a shot at him. Nobody in America could believe that pick. He's not saying he thinks Jones is a bad qb or that he even thinks he didnt deserve to go there. Just that it wasn't expected.
Again just going off of that quote with no other context.

He’ll learn to shut his mouth one day.
On second thought, nah he probably won’t.

Don’t think Bakers record would look so great if he had stayed at Texas tech either

I think there’s a middle ground

Patrick Mahomes started from 2014-16 at Texas Tech. They were 16-21 in those years.
