Not sure I get the hate for Mayfield. He was really good in 2020 and then he was hurt in 2021. Knowing Mayfields career to this point, he will come back stronger elsewhere. Surprised Detroit hasn't made a move for him, or Miami. I think he would be much better down there with the weapons they have than Tua.

Same.  It’s the fuging Browns.  They literally went 1-31 over a two year span, drafted Baker, and make the playoffs within a few years WHILE ALSO getting a playoff win over their Steelers rivals.  Not to mention he broke the rookie TD passing record his first year.  Any other QB from that draft would’ve flopped big time with them imo.  
 

Dude’s whole persona is having a chip on his shoulder; he’ll come out of this better than the Browns after it’s all said and done

 

edit - Baker would’ve been an upgrade over anybody on this roster, but I’m glad we did what we did with getting Corral.  Cheaper, younger, more upside.  We’ll see how it plays out

There is still a chance he is a Panther when it's all said and done, if he is though you can probably kiss a top 2023 QB prospect good bye, I'd that what your hoping for.

I do not think they will cut him and pay the salary. If no trade partners are found they may do like the Texans did last year with Watson. Keep him, but apart  from the team. Some team may have a major injury and need a quarterback before the season is over. 

After everything that has happened, there is no way they can keep him on the team and keep him separate from the actual team during the season, particularly when/if Watson gets suspended for at least 6 games to start the year.

Totally different scenario than to Watson last year, they HAD to have him on their active roster and had no interest in actually playing him given the situation.  

Baker is a good dude who did nothing wrong, the team just screwed up the situation.  They can't keep him around, pay him $20 million, and just keep him away from the rest of the team, it would be a BAD look for the franchise in the eyes of other players around the league, not going to help attract people to want to play for you in the future when that's how you deal with a situation that the team caused.

I'd say literally 0% chance he is on their roster come Week 1, they're paying his salary regardless if he plays or not, they won't keep that distraction around come the actual season, if they can't trade him by then, he'll get cut after the last preseason game.

They chose him over trading for Cleveland Browns quarterback Baker Mayfield when the Browns refused to pay more than $3.5 million of Mayfield’s $18.86 million contract, according to a league source.

I like this quote

One slip by Darnold and fans will be screaming for Corral, who last season led an Ole Miss team that hadn’t had a winning season since 2015 to a 10-3 record and a trip to the Sugar Bowl.

Its so true.  The writing is on the wall.  Darnold knows it.  The question is, will he get beaten out in camp by the rookie?  One can only hope.

      Brown on BY9 while talking to Chris Long

      Then why are they paying QBs so much compared to other players? QB are making so much it's harder and harder to pay other players. If a guy plays like 1 of 11 then there pay should be in line with that. Not all QB should be breaking the bank just because your next or a former 1st rounder There is a reason they say try to win it all on a QB rookie deal because after that they can cripple a team on what it can do. I would rather not do that for a bottom 1/3 QB. Cam and Jake have been the only QBs worth investing long term into this team has had I would rather not lower the bar. If a guy don't got the IT factor and it shows I would rather not invest long term into them and keep looking

      I mean, I hear what y'all are saying, but Derrick could have been positive without being negative.  He essentially accused people of not seeing Bryce's improvement because of their desire to not be wrong. He could've kept it about Bryce and the team. For example, he could've said: "Bryce has made strides, and we believe in him. This coming season, his continued improvement will turn a lot of people into believers."  That would've been supportive of his teammate and sent a message to the doubters. That being said, his tact almost summoned and left the door ajar for more skepticism. That's my take anyway. Bryce has improved from the bottom to perhaps skirting the line between the bottom third and mid-third at best...after three seasons. We've all seen it. Yay! In my mind, Bryce has still got a long way to go and a short time to get there, but my expectations are top five--at least top 10--always! Yes, I am a fan, so there's that, but I don't believe it's unreasonable to expect excellence. Hopefully the Panthers FO has the same mindset (and that doesn't even necessarily have anything to do with what we gave up to acquire him). That is the lens I'm looking through. Derrick Brown has his homer glasses on. He just needs to be more diplomatic and thoughtful with his words in my opinion, but I get it that he's a good teammate.
