“The World Gonna Shut Down”: Baker Mayfield’s Big Breaker From the Hands of Panthers Divides NFL Fans

NFL world divided over Baker Mayfield 

The Panthers got Baker Mayfield from the Cleveland Browns in an effort to transform their offense. But after a bad start to the season, they first benched him and then decided to waive him off the team. The former first-overall draft pick will be looking for new pastures to revive his career.

But where will he go? The news has divided the NFL world. While some fans think he needs a good offense, there are others who don’t think he is good enough for the league. Here is how the fans reacted to the news.

This fan says Mayfield will win the Super Bowl this year with the San Francisco 49ers.

Another fan feels terrible for the QB.

For this fan, Mayfield deserves a shot with a good squad like the Niners.

But not everyone thinks that Mayfield would go somewhere. This fan had a lot to say to the QB.

For this fan, this is another bust of the NFL.

A fan asked if Mayfield could go back to college.

The Browns picked up Mayfield first overall in the 2018 NFL draft. But after a couple of good seasons at Cleveland, his relationship with the franchise soured. And after the 2021 season, they decided to part ways. But how did he do after the trade to the Panthers?

Baker Mayfield came into the Panthers’ offense with an air of optimism around him. But that quickly faded after the team lost four of their first five games, including Mayfield’s old team, the Browns. The bad run of form led to the dismissal of the Panthers’ head coach Matt Rhule. But QB’s misery didn’t end there.

Mayfield picked up an injury in week six and lost his starting place to backup QB PJ Walker. After spending the next two games on the bench, he came back into the team during a loss to the Cincinnati Bengals. The QB started one more game for the Panthers, but never really managed to be at home with the offense.

Mayfield has thrown 1,313 yards of passing this season with six touchdown passes. But he also has six interceptions to his name and a 1-5 record as a starter. Who will pick him up to give him a chance to redeem himself?
