Cris Collinsworth Gets Called Out For Comparing Baker Mayfield To John Elway (TWEETS)

Baker Mayfield is good, but he is nowhere near what John Elway was.

Mayfield, who completed 27-of-32 passes for 297 yards and two touchdowns on Sunday Night Football, found himself being compared to the Broncos legend by none other than Cris Collinsworth.

Collinsworth was called out on social media for bringing up Hall of Fame quarterback John Elway when discussing Mayfield’s throwing style.

“nah, i don’t know what you mean when you say baker Mayfield throws kinda like john elway, cris collinsworth,” ESPN’s Bomani Jones tweeted.

I like Baker and think he’s a pretty good QB but if Chris Collinsworth would stop comparing him to John Elway, that would be great.

I can hear the collective outrage of @Browns fans when @CollinsworthPFF made comparisons between Mayfield and Elway. It's almost like Cris Collinsworth doesn't know what happened in the '80s, and that alot of the Dawg Pound hates Elway, and I say this as a Denver fan #CLEvsNYG
