Panthers name Baker Mayfield as starting quarterback for 2022 season

[Auggie]

In a move most everyone saw coming from the moment he became a Panther, Baker Mayfield has been named Carolina's starting quarterback to open the 2022 season.

Cleveland traded Mayfield to Carolina in early July in exchange for a 2024 conditional fifth-round draft pick, officially ending his time with the Browns and giving the 27-year-old an opportunity to prove he could still be a viable starter in the NFL. Mayfield needed only to beat out Sam Darnold -- a 2021 acquisition who fell short of expectations in his first year in Charlotte -- for the starting job with the Panthers.

No love for the Browns anymore. Go Panthers!

1. Baker seems like a real solid cat ... I wish him well ... when he's not playing my Raiders (nt)

2. Solid is a great description IMO

Always thought he made good decisions at QB. Browns erred big time in letting him go.

3. Why the Browns decided to go with Watson

and all his baggage defies explanation. He’s also an arrogant son of a bitch.

I wish Baker well.

4. I hope Baker has a great year and obliterates the Browns. They should have never let him play

Injured. Now they have that disgusting DeShawn Watson. I hope they lose every game.
