From the episode

Mayfield is the only quarterback who has been worse than Baker Mayfield. EPA per play is Justin Herbert... Baker is playing with the special cast on his hand, so he doesn't have like full like efficacy or whatever there.

STACKED’s take

Negative signalProjection

Mayfield ranks second-worst in EPA/play; hand injury and weak Panthers game mask issues.

Mayfield is second-worst in EPA per play (only Justin Herbert is worse), and is playing with a special cast on his hand limiting full efficacy. The Panthers game last week was not indicative of true performance because Bryce Young played like a high school quarterback with only 11 dropbacks.
