I don't consider myself a conspiratorial person—especially in today's politically charged public discourse. Admitting you believe in any conspiracy theory carries with it a plethora of baggage. But after watching Baker Mayfield get picked up from the airport, come off the bench and lead a 98-yard scoring drive for the win against the Raiders Thursday night, it's just one of things that make you go "hmmm!”
I'm not as down on Mayfield as most of the sports media, not that I really consider myself part of the sports media in the first place. I believe Mayfield can be a sufficient game manager with decent accuracy and above average decision-making—both exclusively occurring when given time in the pocket.
