Seems as if Baker may miss the Senior Bowl.

Looks like there is a family issue with his mom. Hopes she is doing OK. Looks like some Cleveland pod caster tried to call him out. Did not go well for him.

I can't imagine why Baker would not play now that he is at the Senior Bowl and practicing. Just heard on ATL sports talk radio that Sean Payton and New Orleans like what they've seen from Baker at his Senior Bowl practice.

Great news. Clearly titled the post wrong. My bad. Hope his mom is doing better. Looking forward to seeing him kick @#$ and impress the NFL boys.

It's amazing how many people try to get their 15 minutes of fame by slamming Baker.

There is the possibility it won't play. if they see all they need to see in practice they could simply play the other QB's.

Heard that OSU's Mason Rudolph sprained his foot in practice and is unlikely to play on Saturday.

Let's just call Kecma for what he is, "shocksports jerkoff" His kind are a dime a dozen. Baker planted a flag in his face, prOUd of Bake!

That's too bad for the kid although he'll most likely make a buck or two in the game somewhere. Silly agg..

Probably would have been better if he did not play. Looks like he played first quarter only and went 3 of 7 for 9 yards with one rush for -4. He made a good impact during the practice sessions. That plus the combines coming up will hopefully get him where he wants to be. Good luck!

Watched the first half of the Senior Bowl. I guess the ESPN script said to refer to Baker Mayfield as "polarizing," which they did at least four or five times. But they did talk about how he came in to the week late due to his Mom's health issue and that he worked really heard during the week, impressed the coaches and also bonded with many of the players.

Baker went 3/7 for 9 yards. One nice mid-range pass was dropped and he overthrew fellow Sooner Dimitri Flowers on a wheel route that would have scored. Had another pass broken up by the DB that would have scored if he'd put a little more air under it and he got sacked once. After halftime, they announced that Baker had dressed and left the stadium to get back to his Mom.

Besides the pass from Baker, Dimitri Flowers had one carry for about four yards. Obo Okoronkwo played about four series and got one sack. He's incredibly quick, but his size may hold him back at the next level.

Too bad about his mom, it would be difficult to concentrate I would think. I was hoping he would light up that south d for a few series.

Strange play calling when Baker was in there, and crappy OL blocking. He should have skipped it. NFL Network announcers were terrible.

He did not look good. Did not shine. Please let's not make excuses for his play. He'll do better. But on this day, for this game, he clearly was not the best QB that played.
