The bull case for believing in Mayfield comes down to really believing in that latter point... it's clear that Baker - with MANY of the offense's other key contributors - were operating at less than full capacity.
STACKED’s take
Mayfield's 2025 decline due to injuries; upside if health returns to 2023-24 form
Mayfield's 2025 decline came amid significant injury accumulation, not talent erosion. He played through a full list of issues that limited his performance in the latter half of the season after an MVP-caliber start (Weeks 1-6). His career trajectory shows sustained excellence: 2023 saw career highs in passing yards (4,044) and touchdowns (28) leading Tampa Bay to an NFC South title and playoff victory; 2024 he posted 4,500 yards and 41 touchdowns under OC Liam Coen with the Bucs ranking fourth in scoring and capturing another division title before a playoff loss. Ian Hartitz ranks him QB20 (pick 124) while ESPN has QB19 (160.6) and Sleeper QB18 (141.3). The bull case hinges on believing the 2025 injury list explains the decline and that Mayfield returns to his 2023-2024 form with health restored.
