Why sign a QB that doesn't want to be here?

Mayfield is not interested in Carolina. Why would they try and force his hand if he is going to be a problem?

Are they stupid enough to do this knowing he could cause turmoil on the team and in the locker room? From what I have read his Brown teammates are not very fond of him as a person.

What do you think....would they force the issue?

Honestly, Baker is ultimately going to play wherever he can because no one really wants him. I'm not even sure that we do. Sure, we'll take him under the right circumstances (which will include jettisoning Sammy), but I just don't see it happening. Forcing the issue for Baker Mayfield just seems too funny to say (funny as in peculiar and/or humorous).

You guys don't remember the "mutual disinterest" tweets from a few weeks ago?

Yeah it sounded like the one was Watson wasn't interested either until he was.  It also said we weren't interested in Mayfield either and now sources are saying there is some interest.  Unless he says it himself I wouldn't consider it too valid...

Where did he say he wasn’t interested in playing for us? 

There were reports that per "league sources", there was "mutual disinterest" between both parties. That may mean nothing, but I will say that in Baker's first interview after breaking his silence, he mentioned Seattle as a potential fit and didn't say sh!t about the Panthers, when we're arguably the most obvious ones.

Is there a good QB that wants to be here?

With Rhule as HC, I don't think there is. This team is extremely dysfunctional right now and it starts with our HC. Who (other than Tepper) can look at the way our team has been running the last 2 years and honestly say that Matt Rhule is going to turn this franchise around and build a winner?

There have been indications that our position has changed.

There's been no indication thus far that his position has.

I mean I doubt he is knocking down the door trying to play for Matt Rhule, but I'm sure he would have no problem playing here if we traded for him.  Let's be honest, he doesn't have many other options nor is he in a position to be picky...

      Rookie season being key to uour argument. I didn't at all mislead about the talent Cam had to work with. Kalil was a great center. Olsen was a great TE. Our WRs were probably the worst in the league. Cam still won MVP, we went 15-1, and we went to the SB. Your attempt to bring up Cam to defend Bryce is desperate and clownish. Bryce has more talent to work with and has done WAY less.

      Not exactly sure that is an honest assesment of the talent he had to work with that year. Olsen had over 1100 yards that season making the PB, Stewart had close to 1100 total yards also going to the PB. He had Kalil at C who went to the PB, Trai Turner at RG who also went to the PB, and Michael Oher at LT who played well enough that the Panthers offered him a new contract the following year. I wouldn't call that a trash OL. He also played with a defense that was stacked with talent as well.   "The thing we are doing better this time around is actually surrounding our #1 overall draft pick QB with talent vs. asking him to completely carry the offense. I just hope that effort is leading us to realize that the guy isn't even good enough to get carried." Please.... Did you not read the list of names Newton had to work with his rookie season. I guess you missed it so I will post it again for you... Steve Smith (PB), Greg Olsen (PB), Brandon LaFell, Ted Ginn JR, Deangelo Williams (PB), Jonathan Stewart (PB), Jordan Grossn (PB), Ryan Kalil (PB) on the offensive side and then he had Luke Kuechly (PB), Jon Beason (PB), Thomas Davis (PB), Star Lotulelei, Kawann Short ( PB ),Charles Johnson, Greg Hardy (PB ), Mike Mitchell, Josh Norman (PB)  For comparison, here is who Young had his first year.  Chuba Hubbard, DJ Chark, Jonathan Mingo, Adam Thielen, Hayden Hurst, Ikem Ekwonu, Chandler Zavala, Bradley Bozeman, Nash Jensen and Taylor Morton. Not a single PB player on the list and most of them aren't even playing any longer. Additionally, his HC was fired during the season and the defense was as bad as the offense.  You might not like the comparison but saying Newton had to completely carry the offense isn't exactly fair to the 4 pro bowlers on offense who played with him that year.
