Message: [QUOTE="Munyaradzi Mafaro, post: 63985, member: 636"] Baker Mayfield and Sam Darnold joined the Carolina Panthers as former top draft picks seeking fresh opportunities after struggles with their original teams. The Panthers traded for Darnold on April 5, 2021, but he posted a 4-7 record as a starter in his first season while recovering from a fractured scapula. Mayfield arrived on July 6, 2022, and won the starting position over Darnold before a high-ankle sprain limited his playing time. Carolina released Mayfield on Dec. 5, 2022, while Darnold finished the season with a 4-2 record as a starter. The Panthers declined to re-sign Darnold after the 2022 campaign ended. Both quarterbacks found success with new franchises as Mayfield signed with Tampa Bay, and Darnold joined San Francisco as a backup before moving to another team. [/QUOTE]
