I used ANY/A as a benchmark, figuring that as single-metric approaches go, it’s better than alternatives.Mayfield’s career numbers are right about the same as Trubsiky’s and Winston’s
player A: 61% CMP, 87.0 rating, 2.7 INT%, 6.22 NY/A
player B: 61% CMP, 87.0 rating, 3.4 INT%, 6.78 NY/A
player C: 64% CMP, 86.0 rating, 2.5 INT%, 5.88 NY/A
I’d say all of those guys belong in the same group of barely competent NFL QB. Capable of giving you good games and awful games (or good quarters and awful quarters). Just like Mac Jones can look decent against Philly and Buffalo and absolute trash most of the rest of time time.
Mayfield is having a better year (clearly) and has a little more upside but he’s definitely in the same general tier as Winston and Trubisky, even if slightly closer to the top of the tier.
Using that, Mayfield is about as good as Winston in his TB days, and quite a bit better than either Winston now or Trubisky across his career.
