The writing may be on the wall for the Carolina Panthers’ quarterback competition, and it’s continuing to read “Baker Mayfield.”
Another league expert has thrown his two cents into the Baker bucket this week, stating Sam Darnold’s track record pales in comparison to Mayfield’s. And that man is NFL.com analyst and noted film hawk Brian Baldinger.
“If I put the résumé up of Baker Mayfield vs. Sam Darnold, it’s not even close,” Baldinger exclaimed. “Baker Mayfield comes in, he’s the No. 1 pick in Cleveland, he sets an NFL record for touchdown passes by a rookie in a season—he did it in 13 starts. Baker Mayfield went into Heinz Field and came out of the tunnel and led his team to a playoff victory against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Sam Darnold can’t make that claim.”
