Four matches in leopards He may or may not be ready to pull the plug on the Baker Mayfield experiment. Now 1-3 after Sunday’s 26-16 loss to basicsCarolina didn’t get much production from before Brown This year’s quarterback, and its Week 4 interceptions helped stamp out the offense. Then coach Matt Rolle wasn’t ready to predict changes in position, but he wasn’t ready to rule anything out, either, leaving the door open for Mayfield to sit on the bench before week five.
“I will refrain from any big picture until tomorrow,” said Rolle, Per NFL.com. “At the end of the day, I’m on a headset, and I see things, and I know there’s not one person here, one person there, there are a lot of different things, so I’m going to try to give you a really thoughtful answer after watching the tapes. All that being said, I think it’s We can play better than that. I just feel we have to expect more from all of us as an insult, and it starts with me first.
“We have to get it right,” Ryol continued, “but as far as anyone is concerned, I don’t think it’s right to talk about it now.”
“Now” is of course the main wording. The Panthers are clearly 1-3 this year – and now 11-26 combined under the norm – for many reasons. But QB has been the club’s most consistent and/or most visible issue since Rhule took charge. It’s not like Mayfield entered a certain job security, either, competing with the former Planes Castoff Sam Darnold to start work in pre-season. In four games with the Panthers, Mayfield threw four touchdowns and three interceptions, completed only 54 percent of his passes and posted a QB rating of 74.98, one of the worst among active starters.
Asked Sunday whether Darnold, who is recovering from a pre-season high ankle sprain, would be available in the coming weeks as a replacement, Roll did not specify when Mayfield’s predecessor could return. The only other active QB on the Panthers’ depth chart is backup PJ Walker, who was primarily serving as the caller to signal #3.
