Baker Mayfield’s “Gesture”

joe_rush45

Looks like Baker Mayfield isn’t going to START (but will play) against WVU this weekend for grabbing his crutch towards Kansas’ team

Is it me or does he seem like a Johnny Football pt. 2 ? He hasn’t shown any character or class this whole season #OnlyHurtingHIMSELF

Should not win the Heisman. The Heisman may be more steeped in tradition than any other individual award in sports. It should be the most outstanding player but that player should also be an outstanding representative of his school and college football at large. Mayfield is a great player no doubt but he doesn't meet all the criteria. And before someone throws Johnny Football's name out as a contrarion example: remember, the majority of his off the field antics came the yr after he won the Heisman, not the year of.

Hopefully he gets ran out of the Heisman rankings like this because of that gesture. I hate him so much.

They gave it to Manziel, Cam Newton, and Jameis Winston. Not solid citizens by any means. Do I need to list all of the stuff they did or were at least accused off. And we all know they got off easy.

Eh, I think about what a moron I was in my early 20s and try to give him a pass

No doubt. King of **** when I was that young.

I totally agree that it is largely due to immaturity and I hope he learns from it. That said, there is a lot of space in between "he's a horrible, despicable human being" and "he's exactly the example of what we think a college football player should be." There's nothing wrong with placing him somewhere in between. It doesn't have to be one extreme or the other. For me, if you publicly conduct yourself that way you're off my Heisman list. That is one of the consequences of choosing to behave that way, particularly in the public eye when you are literally on national TV wearing a jersey representing your school.

Just when I'm about to blast one of these guys, I remember the stupidity of my college years as some no-name frat dude. I can't imagine being an elite athlete on a college campus. I would have been the biggest man-****, party animal in the whole state. I don't think I would have stolen crab legs or someone's laptop, but I would have been a freaking wild-man and probably get suspended a few times. Plus, nobody had camera phones to document stiff back then...thank God.

Had a quarter pay phone in my frat house. Only way to call in or out. LOL!! Thanks for reminding me of grabbing an incoming call and having to yell out to a frat bro that his "wife" was wanting him.....hahaha...

Great. A guy grabs his crutch in the direction of a team and everybody melts. If I happened to grab my walking stick in public in the direction of a crowd, are you guys gonna attack me as classless too? There are some people in this world that have to grab their crutch. I couldn't walk around without grabbing my crutch. By the way who is Baker Mayfield?

At least he only did it to himself...

Well in Clemson's defense... Ohio State did look a little rusty. That play was only checking his oil for him.
