“I Don’t Know If Anybody Understands How Tough This Is”
October 9th, 2025
Baker Mayfield is wowing NFL legends.
Joe hasn’t seen anything like this in a long time.
It seems everyone from coast-to-coast is on the Mayfield bandwagon. But what’s most impressed Joe is how the retired quarterbacks are bowing to Mayfield.
Joe just about never links to anything on YouTube and doesn’t embed YouTube videos here for a variety of reasons tied to treating Joe’s treasured advertisers ethically, but this one clears the very high bar.
Hall of Fame quarterback Kurt Warner has a YouTube channel devoted to no-nonsene Xs and Os study and review. Joe’s learned a lot there over the years.
This week, Warner took on Mayfield versus the Seahawks and he doesn’t hide being blown away by Mayfield’s ability to execute “chunk” throws, “turn his hips and rip it, play with good fundamentals, use his eyes and read defenses.
Mayfield’s bomb to Emeka Egbuka seemed to take Warner’s breath away. “I don’t know if anybody understands how tough this is.” That’s why Joe devoted a post to that throw.
Joe hopes Warner dissects Mayfield another time or two this season.
