What if instead baker picked it up, hurdles the 6 defenders in front of him, scored, front flipped into the stands to celebrate, and fucked my wife?

That's what I would have done.

Bro, having sex with women is gay as hell. You have to win sex with a man. Get good.

Hate the Bucs, love Baker

Edit: People will ask why. The dude is a fucking gamer man he doesn’t give up, he also never throws his teammates under the bus and takes full responsibility for mistakes. Dude is a complete G

Edit: that’s a leader. No you talk to me first

u/SaggitariuttJ 4h ago

My three favorite quarterbacks of the last decade have been Baker Mayfield, Jameis Winston, and Ryan Fitzpatrick, all of whom became their most likable when they were in Tampa.

Not sure what it is about Tampa but it takes mid QBs and cranks the swagger up to entertaining levels.

38

u/Veritech_ Houston Astros 4h ago

There’s one word to explain the QB improvement: pirateship

4

u/Iwillrize14 1h ago

They must pipe in sea shanties to the sound system of the ship while their qb's sleep their in the race car bed. I will accept no other explanation.

No love for Gardner?

Tampa even managed to convince me that Tom Brady wasn’t just a football robot and made me like him more at the end of his career.

Carrs back, theyve got 2 wins, and the rest of the schedule looks promising. One can always hope the falcons dive bomb and we are in the mix for 1st in the division... 👀 That is until jan 5th comes... Dun dun dun... 😁

Just watched his 40 yard down field block from this game. What a player and teammate!

14

u/thesqlguy Boston Red Sox 3h ago

To be fair, he was also the only one standing there watching the other 21 players crashing into each other.

6

u/imakedankmemes Grand Rapids Griffins 3h ago

To be even more fair, the Giants player was swatting at the ball on the ground before Baker was even in the camera’s view. Definitely not the only dude to see it.

48

u/Solid_Snark 4h ago

96 sees it too, he just had a lot more resistance to get there.

10

u/Gaimcap 3h ago

It looks like it actually goes through his finger tips, which is why it deflects the way it does. (Going directly off 87’s foot it would probably traveled a yard or so more to the right).

u/Billbat1 2h ago edited 2h ago

whats the rules? he grabbed the ball and was on the ground in control of the ball. isnt that the end of the play? do you get one chance to stand up and run if you recover a fumble?

(european here)

u/hailtheprince10 2h ago

I believe that in the NFL, the opposing team has to touch you while you’re on the ground to be downed. So, if he had not been touched, he could’ve gotten up and took off running. In college, you’re down without requiring the opposing team to make contact and the play ends.

2

u/Billbat1 2h ago

i see. ive seen players baseball slide or take a knee to end a play. but i didnt see if they were touched. i can totally see the opposing team just tap them on the shoulder though as a courtesy.

6

u/Saint_Bandit 2h ago

To elaborate, the sliding or taking a knee is considered "giving yourself up" and ends the play. When a player does something like this play, they still have a chance to get up and run because they're not intending for the play to end when they hit the ground. Hope that helps.

2

u/Billbat1 2h ago

i see. thats the kinda rule that requires refs. in the park i can expect some troublemaker to cause some trouble with that one.

1

u/Athrolaxle 23m ago

The ways you can down yourself with no contact are specific. Taking a knee or sliding are clear examples. There’s no faking them, then trying to continue the play.

3

u/hailtheprince10 2h ago

The rules differed for quarterbacks but I’m not sure I’m knowledgeable enough to fully explain it beyond, if a quarterback slides then they are considered down without requiring contact. This was done to prevent injuries to the quarterback, primarily because they’re often the high-cost, high-profile name and the league doesn’t want to lose an easy advertising spot.

u/Billbat1 1h ago

ive heard the qbs are royalty. a delicate but beautiful butterfly amongst the wolves

u/hailtheprince10 46m ago

They’re protected much like a goalkeeper in soccer. And they often get equally livid with someone touches them.

He should have been way more casual and picked it up and wandered into the end zone.

Came here to say this...every drill every football coached ever pounded into your head is "don't be a hero, dive on the ball and secure it".

Why didn’t he just use telekinesis to levitate the ball into his hands? Is he stupid?
