While it will always be labeled “just Preseason”, one cannot ignore the big first week from Baker Mayfield. The national media spent hours last week telling us how great Sam Darnold was for the Jets, two seconds after he signed his rookie deal and took one snap.
We continue to hear about the veteran poise of Josh Rosen, the “Rocket Arm” of Josh Allen and the “versatile attack” of Lamar Jackson. However, for all that hype on the others, Mayfield, though one game, has looked the best. Again, it is Preseason and you can only put so much stock into that.
