They already have quarterback Sam Darnold, the third pick in that same draft. Both players have guaranteed contracts of $18.8 million for 2022.

The Panthers desperately are seeking a franchise quarterback. Their lack of interest in Mayfield means they don’t believe he is one, or that he can become one.

Or maybe they’re just sick of kissing frogs in the hope that the become franchise quarterbacks. It’s an expensive — and so far fruitless — habit.

They’re having a hard time attracting an established franchise quarterback. And for good reason. Coach Matt Rhule enters 2023 on a hot seat, as evidenced by his inability to hire an offensive coordinator more accomplished or desirable than Ben McAdoo. Their best bet will be to draft a quarterback and hope he becomes a franchise quarterback, under either this regime or the inevitable next.

As I’ve said all along the Panthers balked at the asking price before the Browns even traded for Watson. They want a 1st LOL

Sure, sure we'll give you a first for your backup QB. The one that was your starter but you don't believe in him anymore and traded a kings ransom for a troublesome QB. A QB that may or may not play out his entire contract due to legal issues.   

Sure, no problem.  

We'll give you a backup and throw in a receiver for him plus a pick.

Didn't think so.

The Athletic's Jeff Howe reports the Panthers "don’t intend to pursue a trade for Browns QB Baker Mayfield at this time."

With Matt Ryan landing in Indianapolis and the Panthers reportedly not interested, Mayfield is nearly out of options. The Seahawks are the last logical spot for the former first-overall pick. Referring to Seattle, Howe added, "Mayfield has some advocates in the building." With no other buyers on the market, the Seahawks should be able to acquire Mayfield for an incredibly low price. Mayfield would be paired up with an elite receiving duo in Tyler Lockett and DK Metcalf but his new coaching staff also trends toward the run to a fault. At this point, a starting gig is all Mayfield can ask for.

      Bryce’s new look. He looks like a grown up

      By SCO96 · Posted

      I feel the same way. Bryce hasn't proven himself to be so good that he would clearly lap anyone that we'd bring in the compete for the starting job. I think the team is actually afraid to do that. If Bryce goes down does anyone think Kenny Pickett is solid option to replace him?. We can control him for 2026 and 2027. The problem is 2028. Unless he takes a massive leap forward ability wise, I don't see how Carolina can justify paying B.Y. $50 million a year. So far, Bryce has not shown that he can CONSISTENTLY carry a team. He needs to be carried by a strong offensive line, running game, pass catchers and a respectable defense. If he's lacking any of those things I don't think we can make the playoffs in 2026/2027 unless the NFC South is as bad (or worse) than 2025. Unfortunately, athletes and agents have EGOs! When he has a chance for a 2nd contract his management team will probably insist on a "market deal" and feel insulted if they don't get one. That leaves a couple of options if his play hasn't significantly improved. 1) Let him walk and test the market. 2) Franchise him for the 2028 season if you're still not sure about what to do. 3) Extend him to a team friendly deal that pays him below the "current market" which would allow the team to continue to build a solid team to support him. 4) Over pay him and pretty much ruin any chance of becoming a consistent contender. The last option is the LEAST DESIRABLE ONE. The 2026 season is a pivotal season for Bryce and the Carolina Panthers. The success of the next 5-7 years could ultimately be decided on how well plays the next 2 seasons.

      Drake Maye ended up putting almost 300 on them lol. Bryce was stunned from the beginning to end. I know that's an easy comp for the Bryce truthers but no one else put up those puny QB stats against them all season long.
