Looks like D4H might actually have got 1 prediction right (UGA as champs), not quite the blowout he predicted though.

Is Mayfield an NFL QB ?

Yes, if by NFL QB you mean decent backup. However, if you're asking whether he'll be a decent starter? Then no. He's not a starting caliber NFL QB. He lacks the arm strength to drive those 20-25 yard dig routes that beat zone. He also lacks the height to see over offensive lines consistently. I know people will bring up Russell Wilson but Mayfield doesn't have that level of athleticism.

Baker Mayfield will have the mirage of success like Tim Tebow for a little bit. But he'll be exposed soon enough and spend the majority of his career as a backup.

Don't think arm strength is his problem. Totally agree about his height and lack of athleticism. Also playing all those years in a conference where he's allowed to sit back and run around isn't conducive to what he will see in the NFL. We saw today UGA get in his face and he wasn't able to run it and wasn't able to make some throws.

People who try to make money at it don't predict with their heart and just pick their favorite team to win everything and pretend they have the top talent and they DAMN sure don't change their predictions half way through the year

I got the Heisman Trophy winner correct and picked two SEC teams to meet for the national championship. I would say that looks pretty good right now. Especially when I flipped that Tennessee pick to Georgia on October 1st.

So basically since Oct. 1, I got 3 of the 4 playoff teams right (Georgia, Alabama, and Oklahoma) as well as predicting the eventual Heisman Trophy winner (Baker Mayfield).

Making predictions after the season starts is not how you do it. You were wrong at the beginnijg of the season. Nobody cares what you said in October

October 1st was only 4-5 weeks into the season. Alabama and Clemson were rolling. And people still were skeptical of Georgia.

This wasn't a situation where I jumped on the bandwagon of the favorite. I picked a team that people said was not gonna win it all. It was a bold move on October 1st.

Alabama was a favorite the entire year. Oklahoma was a favorite the entire year. Baker was among the favorites for the Heisman preseason and has a long resume to back it up.

Groundbreaking predictions. Stick with beating the Kamara drum.

It wasn't. No matter how many times you keep repeating it, it wasn't. That was 5 games into the season, so the season was almost half over. And less than 24 hours earlier you said UT would beat the hell out of them.

And yes, people said Georgia wouldn't win it all.....YOU said that. You specially laughed at anyone picking Georgia.

Up your troll game fool.

Let’s all pick the NC game, D4H style.

We all pick who we think wins now. At halftime, we come back and can change our picks if we want to.

Then we claim we picked the correct winner all along.
