Baker Mayfield's got that Iron Man rep with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, always battling

through herds that it's sideline most quarterbacks.

He started the 2025 season on fire, going 6-2 before the buy, looking like an MVP lock.

But then the wheels fell off, and the Bucks missed the playoffs for the first time since

2019.

The slide was brutal.

Mayfield's deep passes tanked to league-worst levels, turnovers piled up, and they dropped

seven of their last nine games.

Fans and pundits adore his grit from college days through the pros, calling it why he's

a fan-favorite in Tampa and beyond.

Now comes where from Bucks Whiteout, David Moore, who told Skip Bayless that Mayfield gutted

out a slew of nasty injuries last year.

Stuff no quarterback should play through.

This shed's new light on that collapse, showing the real toll behind the stats, and has everyone

rethinking what might have been for Tampa next time.
