“All That Head Butting Paid Off”: Huge Baker Mayfield Update Prompts Panthers Fans to Erupt On Twitter

Next Sunday, the Carolina Panthers will take on the Baltimore Ravens at the M&T Bank Stadium. Before that match-up, the Panthers announced that quarterback Baker Mayfield will start the next game against Lamar Jackson and the Ravens.

Earlier in an interview, the interim coach of the Panthers, Steve Wilks, told that PJ Walker suffered an ankle injury during the game against the Falcons and will miss the game against the Ravens. Hence, Baker Mayfield will replace him on the team.

NFL fans react to the Baker Mayfield news

After the Mayfield news came out, some of the fans reacted both negatively and positively. One fan posted a hilarious tweet:

Notably, Mayfield was seen head-butting his teammates at the end of the game against the Falcons to congratulate them for the win. After seeing that, fans made fun of him as well.

Meanwhile, many fans think the timing of PJ Walker’s injury was suspicious.

Another fan wants Mayfield out of the team.

One particular fan thinks he will be auditioning again for the quarterback spot.

One Twitter user pointed out his snap percentages.

Meanwhile, one fan thinks Mayfield got this opportunity because Walker did not play well in the last two games.

On the other hand, many Panthers fans supported this move.

Another fan is hopeful that Mayfield will cement his place in the side after this opportunity.

One more fan felt this was the correct move and praised Mayfield for being a great teammate.

Another fan showed support for Mayfield.

It is worth noting that Mayfield started the first five games of the season and his performance was not up to the mark. In those five games, he had 4 touchdowns and 4 interceptions. Then, he got injured in the game against the Niners and backup quarterback PJ Walker replaced him.

Since then, Walker has been playing for the Panthers, and they won 2 out of their last five games. However, Walker’s performance has not been very convincing. During the game against the Bengals, the Panthers were terrible as the opposition was 35-0 up after the first half. As a result, both teams made some changes in the second half and Mayfield entered the field and threw two touchdown passes.

Now that he is back again in the offensive line, Panthers fans would hope for a better showing from Mayfield. Currently, Carolina is third on the table in the NFC South division, with 3 wins and 7 losses.
