![]() ![]() Disregard the ridiculously short stuff to White and that goes down to 162 of 268 passes for 60.4% to the rest of the team. When your lead RB is 35-for-37 catching the ball out of the backfield in just 9 games with an Average Depth of Target (ADOT) of MINUS 0.5 yards it kinda tells you something.īaker’s completed 197 of 305 passes (64.6%). I put the number closer to 100% since Licht, Bowles & company don’t seem to view Kyle Trask as their QB of the future (personally I wish they’d traded him to a QB-needy team instead of doing him like they’re doing him).īaker’s performed adequately thus far, but that’s really about all. ‘Joe has been fairly convinced, maybe about 80 percent, that next spring the Bucs will draft a quarterback, likely in the first round.’ Let the executives who are paid to do this decide if one is worthwhile. I am sure that there will be some fans at draft time saying there are 5 or 6 Qb’s valued high enough to select in the 1st round. ![]() I am really pleasantly surprised by Baker.įive quarterbacks were selected in 2021 - Trevor Lawrence, Zach Wilson, Trey Lance, Justin Fields, and Mac Jones. Or does Mayfield earn the right to remain the Bucs’ starting quarterback while the first-round pick of a quarterback gets to slowly develop by starting his career on the sidelines like Aaron Rodgers and Pat Mahomes?īaker Mayfield is on pace for a career year □ highlighted his play so far this season /88vgLNakXhġ38 Responses to “Baker Mayfield No Longer A “Bridge Quarterback?”” Will Mayfield play strong enough in these last eight games of the regular season for Team Glazer to postpone plans to draft a quarterback? Mayfield is clearly on pace for his best season for passing yards in his career, and for his best for TD-INT ratio since he led the Browns to the playoffs in 2020. Consider the numbers Lawrence is putting up and the numbers that Mayfield has racked up this season.ĭang! Mayfield is having a better season than Lawrence. Joe came across something on the JoeBucsFan Twitter feed yesterday that almost bugged Joe’s eyes. Joe thinks it is fair to suggest if someone walked up to just about any Bucs fan and asked, no questions asked, would you be good with Jags quarterback Trevor Lawrence, well, who wouldn’t? He’s made some money for himself this year, and would seem to be an ideal bridge quarterback for somebody (maybe even the team he’s playing for now) in 2024. ![]() And Breer added that bridge may lead to Mayfield re-upping with the Bucs as the team’s starting quarterback.īaker Mayfield’s performance last week against the Texans was overshadowed, justifiably, by Stroud, but he played really well in that game, and he was good again as the Bucs pulled to within a half-game of first in the mediocre (to say the least) NFC South. Yesterday, Albert Breer of SI.com, who succeeded King and his Monday NFL column on the site, also referred to Mayfield as a “bridge” quarterback. When the Bucs signed Baker Mayfield to succeed Tom Brady, Peter King of NBC Sports got Bucs fans all bent out of shape when he referred to Mayfield as a “bridge” quarterback meaning the next quarterback isn’t yet on the team’s roster but will be soon. Recent NFL history says if you don’t have a stud quarterback, you are SOL, that’s all there is to it. That desire, especially since Tom Brady retired, has not vanished.īesides, with so many quality quarterbacks coming out for the 2024 draft, if you aren’t going to draft a quarterback, then when? It’s why the team drafted both Josh Freeman and Mr. Joe knows Team Glazer desperately wants a franchise quarterback. In 2023, Evans has appeared in four games for the Eagles and recorded 15 total tackles, one forced fumble, one recovery and two pass deflections.Joe has been fairly convinced, maybe about 80 percent, that next spring the Bucs will draft a quarterback, likely in the first round. He was testing the market as an unrestricted free agent once again this offseason when he signed a deal with the Eagles. The Saints opted to sign Evans to a one-year deal last offseason. He was eventually placed on injured reserve and waived in December 2020 with a foot injury. He was in the final year of his four-year, $5.19 million contract and set to make a base salary of $1.17 million in 2020 when he was waived.Ī lingering Achilles injury landed Evans on the PUP list to start camp in 2019. Jenkins.Įvans, 28, is a former second-round pick of the Buccaneers back in 2017. Philadelphia also signed TE Noah Togiai and OL Lecitus Smith to the practice squad and released TE E.J. This opens up a three-week window for Evans to practice with the team before he has to be added to the active roster. ![]() The Philadelphia Eagles announced a series of roster moves, including designating S Justin Evans to return from injured reserve. ![]()
