The Cleveland Browns tried to destroy Baker Mayfield’s NFL career and reputation after he helped them end the NFL’s longest post season drought and win their first playoff game in 26 years.
They said they wanted an “adult” in the room.
Now Baker is the Franchise QB for the Tampa Bay Bucs after playing for the Panthers and the Rams during a 2 year sabbatical.
He never gave up. He never lost sight of who he was. This year he threw for a career high in TD passes, passing yards, yards per attempt and Passer Rating and has the Bucs in the playoffs right now.
Turns out he was the “adult” in the room and Cleveland is still searching for their Franchise QB.
Drew Lock today:
- Potentially lost the Giants No.1 overall pick
- Got Malik Nabers to 1,000 yards
- Ended the Colts season
- Saved Brian Daboll's job
- Made it easier for Joe Burrow and the Bengals to make the playoffs

These aren't contradictions, they are proof of what it takes to win at the highest levels.
Winners don't succeed in spite of failure, they succeed because of failure. While others shield themselves from the sting of defeat, winners run towards it. They take big risks and put their reputation on the line, knowing that whatever happens, they'll come out a more competent opponent on the other side.
Whether you're chasing championships or personal goals, the same truth applies. To double your rate of success, you have to double your rate of failure. The more you learn about what doesn't work, the more you understand what does.
Everything changes when you reframe losses like this. It's not a setback, it's one step closer. It's not a measure of incompetence, it's proof of your willingness to take risks and charge boldy forwards.
Failure isn't the enemy of success, it's the foundation.
@naiivememe You could own 1 building worth 4.5m and a sfh worth 500k, be house poor and have the building be a money pit... 5m net worth doesn't really give an accurate scenario to determine if you would be able to afford a $250k car... it ALL depends on how finances are structured.
@PeterSchiff There has never been anybody so over leveraged and hell bent on getting the opportunity of saying “I told you so” in the history of mankind. Kudos you stubborn m’fer you.
Good Morning X!
