Congratulations to Baker Mayfield on the win. His performance proved he can win games when good coaching and playing calling give him a chance to succeed. Let's hope Baker can pull out a few more wins and help the Panthers draft position.

It certainly seems that way .

Yes, there are teams that would like to have him.

My guess is the Panthers will be drafting somewhere around # 6. If he is there i feel they should take him and get a good coach to further develop and enhance his great natural talents.

I don't have a very recent jersey. I only have a Jake, Cam, Morgan, Peppers and Smith jersey that I have purchased and a Beason one that I won in a promotion drawing. They are all are either, white ,blue or black and I wear the color the team will be wearing when I go to home games..

For what it's worth, it has been reported that less than half of first-round QBs manage a single 4000-yd or 24 touchdown season. Those are pretty low bars for success. On top of that, almost half don’t even make it to a second contract. Expecting a first-round QB to change your franchise appears to be wishful thinking. If we tighten the constraints to just top-10 picks, things don’t get much better. We still see that half still don’t ever see 4000 yards or 24 touchdowns in a season. On top of that, only 70% last 5 years with their drafting team. Okay, let’s be VERY restrictive: just first overall picks. Now we are down to a sample size of 12 guys. It’s little surprise that the numbers are looking better. A 3200-yd season is closer to a guarantee and we have pretty good odds at 4000 yards and 32 touchdowns. Still, the elite marks remain elusive and two of the 12 quarterbacks don't see their fifth year.

" Fitterer, keep checking on the Huddle to find out who we should select # 1 in the 2023 NFL Draft. "

My previous dislike for the Sea Hawks was based on what I thought was unfounded glory that kept getting heaped on Russell Wilson. Now that Wilson is gone, they are just another NFL team to me, that is on a downward spiral.

Daniel Jones 85.7 passer rating still ranks in the bottom half of starting quarterbacks. Nuff said.

Why not? It is not everyday someone on the Huddle gets to talk to a mom or dad of a current NFL QB.

I feel sure the Jets will be shoping Zach Wilson and hoping to get a 2nd rd draft choice for him.

I will add a double fug to that. Ha Ha

It should be obvious to everyone that you don't watch much football or you would not make such a profound and misguided statement,

OOOPS!!! Excuse please!! I replied to the wrong person and post.

I wish Baker Mayfield all the luck in the world and hope he can fit in on his new team. Perhaps Baker can become a decent back up QB because it looks like his NFL starting days could be a thing of the past.

Baker Mayfield: Top landing spots for the former Browns QB now that the Panthers have released him 192 Jeff Risdon Mon, December 5, 2022 at 12:29 PM·4 min read The ongoing dramatic saga surrounding Baker Mayfield keeps rolling right along. Mayfield is once again out of work after the Carolina Panthers released the former Browns quarterback on Monday morning. Carolina is the second NFL franchise to dump Mayfield in the last six months, following the Browns’ lead. Despite two teams with losing records giving up on Mayfield in such a short period of time, there will be some teams interested in Cleveland’s starting QB from 2018-2021. Houston Texans Browns fans know very well how badly the Texans need a new quarterback. Houston benched second-year QB Davis Mills to watch Kyle Allen turn the ball over four times, including a pick-six to Browns LB Tony Fields, in Sunday’s win by Cleveland. Both Mills and Allen have prove they are not the long-term solution in Houston, which holds the NFL’s worst record at 1-10-1- Mayfield might not be the long-term solution either for Houston, but he’s at least got competence and experience on his side. Those can help the Texans better evaluate the rest of the offensive roster, including young WRs Nico Collins and Amari Rodgers and TE Teagan Quitoriano. Los Angeles Rams No, that’s not Matthew Stafford being sacked there. It’s new Rams starter John Wolford, who took over when the Rams placed Stafford on injured reserve last week after suffering numbness in his toes following a concussion. Wolford and Bryce Perkins are suited to be No. 3 QBs, not the primary backup. And now that the backup will be starting for at least the remainder of 2022, it’s time for the Rams and head coach Sean McVay to find someone better than what they’ve got. In theory, Mayfield could make a nice eventual replacement for Stafford and insurance in case the Super Bowl champion retires soon. The Rams did have interest in Mayfield in the 2018 NFL draft despite having 2016 No. 1 overall pick Jared Goff (now in Detroit) leading them to a Super Bowl berth. This one would be fun just to watch the bombastic, dynamic personalities of McVay and Mayfield work together, even for just six weeks. The cap-strapped Rams can’t really afford to claim Mayfield, but that hasn’t stopped them before. San Francisco 49ers San Francisco is cruising right along with an outstanding defense, but the 49ers lost their starting quarterback on Sunday. Jimmy Garoppolo broke his foot in the win over the Dolphins and will miss the rest of the season. The 49ers primary backup, Trey Lance, is also out for the season. That leaves the 8-4 49ers poised to effort a playoff run with Brock Purdy at the controls. Purdy is this year’s Mr. Irrelevant, the last player selected in the 2022 NFL draft. The Niners quickly signed journeyman Josh Johnson as a backup. Johnson is smart and mobile, but he’s won exactly one start in his 14-year NFL career and has tossed more INTs than TDs. Mayfield has some familiarity with the Kyle Shanahan style of offense and playoff experience, which could coax a claim from the NFC West leaders. Minnesota Vikings The Vikings are 10-2 in the first year under head coach Kevin O’Connell. That man seated to O’Connell’s right is Vikings GM Kwesi Adofo-Mensah. Yeah, former Browns VP of Football Operations from 2020-2021 Kwesi Adofo-Mensah. Kirk Cousins is playing very well as the Vikings starter. Behind Cousins is another familiar name for Browns fans, Nick Mullens. It was Mullens who started for Cleveland for an injured Mayfield in the Week 15 loss to the Raiders a year ago. He’s acceptable in mop-up or spot duty for Cousins, but if the starter gets hurt in Minnesota, it’s easy to see that contending team wanting more than acceptable. Mayfield has proven that he can, in fact, be a lot more than acceptable. At times. Adofo-Mensah witnessed those times firsthand, though he also happened to see Mayfield at his worst. It seems far-fetched, but this wacky QB season has proven anything can happen in the NFL.

I am not sure i would take the same approach he did but at least the players can respect the fact he is laying his cards on the table and giving then a choice to chose their own destination.

This is some long sighted thinking but if Deion Sanders has continued success coaching in college and serves a year or two in the NFL as an asst. coach, I could see him eventually win a head coaching job. Deion is someone players look up to and has a sort of personality that rubs off on a team he's connected with.

You don't have to put in a backup QB to prove Wilson is trash all you have to do is watch his past and present performaces this year.

It would be hard and somewhat unfair to evaluate any QB correctly that had to play behind the horrible offensive line the Panthers had prior to this year,

Mayfield finished his Panthers tenure with career-lows in completion percentage (57.8 percent), yards per game (187.6) and only six touchdowns with six interceptions.

How the Panthers finish the seasons ending next five games will probably determine the fate of both Wilks and Darnold.

Your assumption could very well be correct. The waiver wire order is set by reverse league standings after Monday Night Football. With the 49ers at 8-4 and in first place in the NFC West, all but four teams will have a chance at claiming Mayfield before they could. Any team that claims Mayfield would owe him a prorated $1.3 million.

I can vision the Panthers winning a couple of more games and finishing 6-11. I know this would be a long shot but if QB Sam Darnold can becomes a flop that fliped and starts show casing the talent he had in college, my opinion will go out the window.

This sums it up very nicely.
