Quarterback Baker Mayfield was recently traded to the Carolina Panthers from the Cleveland Browns. His exit was looming for a long time, as Deshaun Watson was brought in by the Browns to replace him.

Mayfield had to wait a long time to get traded, as the market for him wasn’t big. However, finally, he is freed from the shackles and has been provided with a chance to redeem himself. Colin Cowherd made a very interesting and bold take on the former Browns quarterback.

Cowherd on his show The Herd with Colin Cowherd spoke about the good things that are presented to Baker Mayfield because of his move to the Carolina Panthers. He believes that Mayfield will be the best quarterback in his division when Tom Brady leaves the Bucs.

The Journalist said, “The division is really bad, when Brady leaves in a year Baker could be the best quarterback, it’s a bad division, it’s the worst division in football if Tom Brady left, it’s a mess, um so that’s the good news, the good news is it looks like they have a left tackle, the o-line should be better.”

An exit for Sam Darnold looms large after the arrival of Baker Mayfield

As expected, the arrival of Baker Mayfield has brought a lot of uncertainty around the future of Sam Darnold. Darnold was the starting quarterback for the Panthers, but now his spot is under threat. Mayfield will be fighting for that spot. There is a big sense around the league that he will be the QB1 for the Panthers.

Moreover, Colin Cowherd also believes the same. Talking about Darnold, and Mayfield, he said, “Now the Darnold thing is a weird dynamic, my guess is Carolina moves Darnold out of town, I think you want to separate those two, they came in together not that they don’t get along, but you want to give Baker the snaps.”

Baker Mayfield will have a chance to face his former team in week 1. The Carolina Panthers are scheduled to kickstart their season against the Cleveland Browns in the upcoming season.
