NFL fans left divided over Baker Mayfield's first outing as a Panther Comment Share Carolina Panthers v Washington Commanders Baker Mayfield made his Carolina Panthers debut in their preseason game against the Washington Commanders. He looked crisp and went four of seven for 46 yards. There were some teething problems with miscommunications with receivers and fumbles, but in general Mayfield looked good. He started just one series before Sam Darnold took over for one of his own. It proved enough for NFL fans to give their take on Twitter. Some of them were positive, whereas others were negative. Truthfully, a preseason game is not the right forum to reach any conclusions, but what would be the fun in that? Here are some of the best reactions to his performance: Skip Bayless@RealSkipBaylessAs predicted here, over and over, Baker Mayfield looks like BAKER MAYFIELD in his first preseason start for Carolina. After labrum surgery, his velocity looks 50% better than it did last season when he played hurt from Week 2 on. In his first 2 drives, Mayfield is LIGHTING IT UP.2518146As predicted here, over and over, Baker Mayfield looks like BAKER MAYFIELD in his first preseason start for Carolina.

He also had a solid pocket escape and picked up a couple to avoid a sack.181Solid day for Baker Mayfield. 4/7 that included one throw away, one possible miscommunication and then one deep ball dropped but more of a great play by Washington, for 46 yards and went 3/4 on 3rd downs.

That was before the other quarterbacks on the depth chart had a chance to show their mettle. Panthers head coach Matt Rhule refused to be drawn into the subject of who the Week 1 starter will be. Instead, he pointed out that Mayfield had taken them down the field, whereas Darnold helped them get the touchdown, so both were in command. Here's what he said: "I have to really watch the tape to see exactly what they did, but I thought they were both in command. They made the right checks, so I was pleased. [Baker Mayfield starting] was for today, that was just for today... Obviously, Sam got us in the end zone. Baker led us down the field. Looked like both guys played well in terms of production..." But many will point out that Baker Mayfield leading the first drive indicates that he will be the starter. Most think that he is the starting quarterback in Carolina, and it is up to Darnold to change Rhule's mind. Those that choose to knock Mayfield down will note that on throws longer than 10 yards, he went 0-2. He also fumbled and was not on the same wavelength as his receivers. The name of Carolina's starting QB will only be known for sure when the rubber hits the road and the NFL regular season starts in earnest.
