From the episode

I mean, I think there's a great narrative behind pissed off contract year Baker Mayfield and what he could be. There's also the flip side of that coin where Baker has played through so many different injuries.

STACKED’s take

Negative signalProjection

Baker Mayfield is a boom-or-bust wild card in a contract year.

Baker Mayfield is a high-variance 'wild card' for the Buccaneers; while he is healthy and playing in a contract year, there is significant risk that if the team struggles, he may choose not to play through injuries, potentially leading to Jalen Daniels taking over.
