From the episode

Baker Mayfield, when he's an underdog, when he's being counted out, when he's playing for a contract. Man, the Buccaneers are definitely rolling the dice because they're taking a big risk, but they're also guaranteeing we're going to get production from quarterback this year.

STACKED’s take

Positive signalProjection

Underdog mentality drives production; durability is the only concern.

Baker Mayfield, when he's an underdog, counted out, or playing for a contract, produces at a high level. The Buccaneers are rolling the dice with him but guaranteeing production from the QB position. The source notes he plays 'like his hair's on fire' and is fun to watch, though his reckless playing style raises durability concerns. He hasn't signed a long-term deal yet because the organization wants to see him stay healthy before committing multi-year money. His underdog mentality and contract motivation should drive strong 2025 production.
