It's funny how half of you say you don't want a project, but are hooting and hollering for Mayfield.
I absolutely love Mayfields poise in the pocket and maneuverability, but he rarely has to thread the needle into tight windows. Nor does he make any pre-read calls.
I understand I'm calling out things he's not asked to do in this offense, but please explain how Mayfield isn't a project at qb and is worthy of a top 10 pick.
Darnold turned the ball over alot this year but you regularly see him make hard angle throws into tight windows, throwing his recieved open.
I think most, if not all would prefer Darnold, but obviously its not realistic at this point to believe he is even an option. Not sure why that comparison was brought up.
Mayfield may not have to throw into extremely tight windows constantly, but the majority of his throws are incredibly accurate to make you believe he has that capability. He has flaws for sure, but he has improved every year and presents a lot of positive qualities that you can build an offense around.
With the way NFL teams are incorporating spread offenses, with the right coach (and I believe Morton is that coach for us) I think he can be put in a position to be productive early on while he works on footwork, mechanics and the mental game.
