Baker Mayfield’s lighting up the gridiron in 2024 – he tossed for 4,500 yards, dropped 41 TDs, hit a slick 71.4% comp rate, and only threw 16 picks, not to mention racking up career totals of 3,395 att, 2,157 comp, 171 TDs, 90 INTs, and 24,832 yds with a 91.2 passer rating. It’s like watching a classic underdog montage in a ‘Rocky’ sequel, where every stat tells a story of blood, sweat, and highlight reels.
In a twist straight out of a script by Quentin Tarantino, Liam Coen—the man behind the magic as Bucs’ OC in ’24, steering a 10-7 season and nabbing the NFC South title—has pulled a fast one by jetting off to be the head honcho with the Jags. Despite the “betrayal” vibes, Baker’s chill as ever: “I’m happy for Liam, he’ll help Trevor Lawrence.” Mayfield, no stranger to dramatic NFL plot twists, added, “People have their thoughts about how it went down and I understand the emotional aspect of it, but I’m happy for Liam. He deserves an opportunity.”

He wasn’t just handing out praise like a Marvel sidekick either; while Mike Evans dropped some future-retirement truth bombs that could rival any Tarantino monologue: “This is good practice for me in the Olympics. Most likely, I’ll be retired by 2028. How many years is that? 3 years. I don’t know. 2028. How many years is that? 3 years. I don’t know. But if I am retired, I would definitely like to play in the Olympics.”
