Baker Mayfield Vs. Pat Mahomes Vs. Saint Lamar Jackson
July 3rd, 2025
Stunning comparison.
Joe has to admit, he was shocked by this.
Now Joe doesn’t follow the Chiefs closely. Joe’s too busy with Bucs coverage to pay too much attention to other NFL teams (Joe tries to keep up with a handful of college teams, at least a little bit, just for the scant recreation time Joe has during football season).
Now if someone would ask Joe who the best quarterback in the game is, reflexively, Joe would say Pat Mahomes. Who else would be other than maybe Josh Allen?
Trick there is, Allen has yet to conquer Mahomes and the Chiefs in the playoffs. Advantage: Mahomes.
So when FanDuel twittered out stats for Bucs quarterback Baker Mayfield and Mahomes, Joe started sniffing his coffee mug, thinking someone poured Barrel King Knighted in it.
So color Joe stunned when he read the stats below and noticed that Mayfield had better numbers than Mahomes, other than with picks (Mayfield had one more than Mahomes).
Wow. Would you ever hear or see this on the four-letter? Of course not. Mayfield plays for the backwards, sun-poisoned unwashed down in Florida. Mahomes is a star!
This also got Joe to thinking, when have you ever heard on one of those hollering shows weekdays on FS1, much less the four-letter, ever noted that Saint Lamar Jackson has but one more playoff win than Mayfield?
Joe’s going to guess you’ve never heard that on BSPN or FS1. Besides, folks who work in network sports television have apparently signed a clause in their contracts never to utter a discouraging word about Saint Lamar Jackson, or risk being blackballed from the television industry.
Maybe it’s time for these same talking heads to slap some respect on Mayfield’s name.
