From the episode

before he got injured, he was bad. The Buccaneers were one of the worst offenses overall. And it's always weird when these quarterbacks come off of these hand finger injuries. I know that Burrow had that wrist injury and he was like, yeah, man, like, I don't really know how to come back from this. Like, it's a really weird injury. So the fact that Baker Mayfield had to, like, get his strength back in his grip, I think is kind of interesting. And the fact that he's going to be playing with a glove, which he traditionally doesn't do, is also something that you have to kind of consider.

STACKED’s take

Negative signalProjection

Baker's return clouded by pre-injury struggles and hand injury recovery.

Baker Mayfield returns from a hand/finger injury but faces significant concerns: the Buccaneers offense was one of the worst in the league before his injury under Zach Robinson, he's recovering grip strength, and he'll play with a glove he doesn't traditionally wear, all against a red-hot Carolina Panthers secondary.
