From the article

Robinson's best trait as an OC is his ability to scheme receivers open on the perimeter, something the Bucs need more consistency in as they evaluate this season if Mayfield will be the guy beyond 2025. Working alongside former longtime QB T.J. Yates as passing game coordinator and Whitmer as Mayfield's latest QB coach gives the Bucs, on paper, a very strong brain trust around this offense that carries big expectations at the moment... NFL fans at large are familiar with the edge Mayfield plays with when feeling doubted or disrespected in any way, and although that angle comes from his own front office this time around, it very may still work to unlock the best of Baker in 2026, with coaching being a huge part of this equation too.

Mayfield has elite QB coaching staff; edge mentality could unlock best version.

Mayfield returns as the Buccaneers' quarterback with continuity on offense; the source notes new offensive coordinator Zac Robinson's best trait is scheming receivers open on the perimeter, which the Bucs need more consistency in. With new QB coach Chandler Whitmer (who coached Fernando Mendoza at Indiana to a national championship and first overall pick status) and passing game coordinator T.J. Yates, Mayfield has a strong coaching brain trust around him. The source suggests Mayfield's edge when feeling doubted or disrespected could be unlocked further in 2026, with coaching being a huge part of this equation.
