Since joining the Panthers in a trade with the Browns, all signs have been that Baker Mayfield will start as quarterback for the team, which raised the prospect that he'll play his last couple in his initial contest.
In the absence of an accident, that potential became a certainty on Monday when the Panthers selected Mayfield as the victor of their quarterback battle over Sam Darnold. At a press conference, after complimenting Darnold's professionalism and calling him a "wonderful man," focus switched to his chance to compete against the franchise that selected him first overall in 2018.
Although Mayfield acknowledged that facing the Browns meant more than facing any other team, he added that his main priority right now is improving the Panther's offence in preparation for September 11.
There is undoubtedly a great deal of connection, according to Mayfield. "Just like I said to you guys at Wofford. I won't just remain here and claim it has no significance. It will. But for the time being, all that counts is that I keep getting better until the start of the regular season.
Mayfield would probably be a little more fired up than usual for his first opportunity as a Panther to create a lasting impression against any opponent. It will only be more straightforward for him to find the correct amount of motivation because it will be coming against a Browns club without the quarterback they selected over Mayfield.
