Terry Bradshaw: “I Don’t Like Baker Mayfield”

By Wendi Oliveros November 7, 2020 @WendiOliveros1

August 17 2006: Kansas City Chiels v New York Giants at Giants Stadium in East Rutherford, NJ - Terry Bradshaw gets set to go live during the Fox Broadcast.

 

Former Steelers quarterback Terry Bradshaw was a recent guest on ‘The Herd’ with Colin Cowherd.

When Cowherd brought up Browns quarterback Baker Mayfield, Bradshaw was quick to let his feelings be known about him.

Terry Bradshaw on Baker Mayfield: "I don't like Baker Mayfield and I never did … His body language and the way he acts is a turnoff for me." #Steelers

— Blitzburgh 🦃 (@RenegadeBlitz) November 7, 2020

In a twist of irony, Bradshaw revealed that he never met Mayfield in person so he is judging him only by his on-the-field behavior.

 

Do Your Job

 

Bradshaw thinks Mayfield should just do his job.

The extra antics are not necessary; they just draw unnecessary attention.

If it’s any consolation, Bradshaw characterizes Johnny Manziel and Cam Newton the same way.

 

Lack of Self Awareness

 

Bradshaw cites a lack of awareness and humility in these players.

It’s hard enough to win in the NFL without engaging in those behaviors.

He talks about how his father taught him to respect people.

Bradshaw explains that players can be competitive as well as being kind and respectful.

 

It’s His Opinion

 

Certainly, Terry Bradshaw is entitled to his opinion.

And he doesn’t have to like everyone in the NFL.

But it’s a little unfair of him to judge Baker Mayfield without ever meeting him.

In the same interview, he talked about Aaron Rodgers not having the fighting spirit of Tom Brady when the Packers were losing to the Vikings last week.

Baker’s on-the-field behavior is not disrespectful.

It is his way of getting himself psyched up and game ready.

And to lead his team.

Baker never gives up and is never out of a game.

He puts everything he has into it.

So instead of interpreting his body language as disrespectful, maybe Bradshaw should remember from his playing days that professional athletes approach the mental aspect of the game in different ways.

And just respect Baker’s methods and his competitiveness.

 

Colin Cowherd

 

I actually really like Colin Cowherd, but I also think his Baker Mayfield criticism has almost reached the point of becoming uncomfortable.

— Bryn Swartz (@eaglescentral) October 4, 2020

Everyone knows Cowherd can’t stand Baker.

He talks about it regularly and says his dislike of him extends back to his Oklahoma days.

The fact that he enlisted Terry Bradshaw to share in his Baker dislike only means one thing.

If the Browns keep winning, Bradshaw will probably be a more frequent guest on The Herd.

For no other reason than to bash Baker.

    I can’t stand Baker Mayfield either. He is a LOSER and a BUST! I don’t really care about the antics; I look at his performance on the field. The truth is that he is the WORST starting QB in the AFC North, which hopefully means that his days are numbered in Cleveland!

      Bradshaw is getting old. Old Man opinions. Many here in Texas that played for OU are Season Ticket holders. Watched many good to great Players over the past 40+ yrs. Respect many good Athletes that have made it to the Pros from All SCHOOLS. Bradshaw, Aikman, Montana, Brady, Manning, Elway, Marino, Farve, Brees, Staubach, etc. Great in there days. Many of us really like Mayfield. So we are entitled to OUR OPINIONS ALSO. Colin Cowherd, there are MANY of US that don’t watch or care for your show THE HERD!!!

      He has not lived up to the hype. I agree with Terry on most of his assessments. Mayfield needs to get out of the mindset that he is great, keep his mouth shut, and put in whatever time and energy it takes to become what he Probably can be. Frankly, his biggest mistake was accepting his drafting by Cleveland! I would have sat out a season before I went to Cleveland!

      He can’t be worse then the Bengals QB. Ben Rothlisberger is a great QB but he’s getting closer to retirement. Lamar Jackson is good but he is also on a team with lots of weapons on offense and defense. The best player on offense for the Browns is Odell Beckham Jr. and they are still winning games. So to say he is the worst starting QB in the AFC North is not a logical statement.

    Baker Mayfields BIGGEST problem is he’s had 3 coaches, a large turnover of players, and as usual, no matter where he goes, Odell Beckem. Hes a whiny lil dick who gets hurt all the time. You can’t judge Baker’s playing when he’s had 2 of the worst coaches in history. Give him this year and next year, then worry about it. Bradshaw has a right to his opinion, but should at least meet Baker first.

    Terry Bradshaw. What I remember as a Brown’s fan….Terry as a player was physically gifted at 6 foot 3 and threw a nice tight spiral pass. 4 Super Bowl rings as part of great teams coached by a great coach. can’t deny any of that. As I recall Terry was cocky as hell in his day just like Mayfield so Terry needs to shut up about Mayfield. Overall career 52% completions and for every touchdown Terry threw he also threw an INT. 212 -210. Noll also had to dumb down the offense for Terry ’cause he just was not that bright compared to other starting QB’s in those days. Not stupid but just not good at reading defenses hence all the INT’s. If not for the team that surrounded Terry he would in no way be in the HOF. I have met Terry on one occasion and spoken briefly to him. He is seemingly a very nice down to earth person and his personality seems also genuine. As far as Colin Cowturd is concerned his obsession with Baker is getting creepy. It’s gone beyond ratings. Could be a man crush going on there me thinks.

    Let’s be honest it’s the opinion of a man who rode a great defense and some remarkable plays be true HOF ers to a successful career. He wasn’t even pittsburgh’s first choice at qb and his career numbers are borderline terrible he was never really any good he just had an amazing team around him so he can say what he wants if he had to play on the teams that have been in cleveland he would have been a two year bust also

    Well Chuck Noll didn’t like you either Pittsburgh Steeler! Bottom line is you don’t like Baker because you were hand picked by the Ohio hating Colin Cowherd. To go deeper, you don’t like Baker because he has rhythm and can dance, and he expressing how he is feeling when he dances, something you could never do. Another point, people like Baker, and Chuck Noll (A former Cleveland Brown) would deride you so, others didn’t care for you either. Baker is just fine with us, so you and Cowherd can go sip lattes and watch old tape of Swan saving your javelin throwin’ ass with amazing catches. We like Baker, I could have won with those Steeler Teams, and Coach Noll would’ve like me cause I played football in Ohio.

    That’s for his FULL 3rd. year.
    Mayfield’s 1/2 way point in his 3rd. year.
    62 percent completion rate. 1514 passing yards. 15 TD. 7INTS. Rating of 90.9. Not to mention 3 different coach’s and personnel. BETTER THAN YOU WERE BRADSHAW.

    Terry Bradshaw is 100% correct. Anybody comparing passing stats of the past to today has no clue about the evolution if the game. The now infamous highlights from the day were not the norm. The game was mostly running and defense. QBs of today have the benefit of 50 years of offensive play evolution. Offensive plays are extremely complex compared to the former; “block the guy in front of you” strategy. It’s like comparing the warfare strategies of General Cornwallis/General George Washington to Gen. Grant/Robert E Lee, Patton, to generals of “modern” warfare. Educate yourself on the game before making pointless comparisons. The worst team in the NFL (probably the Jets) would crush any team from the 70’s, and even less than 10 years ago. I’m willing to give Mayfield a little more time to to prove himself worthy of the paycheck and hype, but he’s running out of time. OBJr doesn’t do him any favors. He is a parasite wherever he goes. Waste of God-given talent. Fyi, I haven’t met any of them.

    Why would Bradshaw say something ignorant like that. Have you tried to have a conversation with Baker. He’s. A very nice guy from what I see with my own eyes when his whole team left him out on field alone because baker wanted to sign autographs for some military men. He signed them because they asked him if he would. I thought that was amazing. Another I saw was Baker with I’ll children that were do excited to see him and get his autograph. He spent time with those kids and spent my re time than they wanted Baker too. So terry Bradshaw really you are turning me off for being ignorant. Grow up man. You must judge people by what they wear or by color of skin that’s what you made me think. How does that feel?

    Baker Mayfield is a game manager and would be best served as a backup QB. He consistently makes the same mistakes game after game. INTENTIONAL GROUNDING? HOLDING THE BALL TO LONG? These are day one rules for a professional NFL QB, yet he’s still doing it 3 years into his career. This is not a result of bad coaching, or different coaching game plans. This is a result of an arrogant, and cocky individual who thinks he knows it all and doesn’t need help. Maybe he should spend more time in the offseason studying his career and making himself a better QB, instead of making lame commercials with his wife. I have one word of advice for him:

    “Hey Baker, you wanted to make your flashy little commercial holding onto all of Tom Brady’s SB rings, why don’t you pick up the phone and ask him how he became one of the best QB’s in NFL history!”

    I like Mayfield now, after watching him for a few seasons. I have discovered his arm is as big as his mouth, and I can respect that. To be fair, he didn’t spend all his time throwing his team under the bus in the early seasons and they all got better together. Clearly they love him. He does not have off field behavior problems, and by all accounts is a stand up guy in person. Sometimes what looks like cockiness might just be having a good time. I’m surprised Terry Bradshaw can’t see the similarities between him and Baker. They’re both wacky fun guys. Also, Baker’s commercials are hysterical. Hmmm…so are Terry’s. Another similarity?
    And I can’t even believe anyone would compare him to Manziel or Newton. THREE COMPLETELY DIFFERENT ANIMALS.
