If Carolina struggles again, Rhule could be gone after this season. He didn't turn around Temple or Baylor until his third season with each program, so Tepper probably expects the same with the Panthers. Head coach Matt Rhule has gone 10-23 over the past two seasons. What's going to happen if the Panthers don't emerge as a playoff team and surprise Super Bowl contender this season? Turnover is the most likely answer. Matt Ryan was never a realistic option because the Atlanta Falcons weren't likely to trade him within the division. Their interest in Watson dated back to last season, but the Browns wound up acquiring him instead. This offseason, they "had discussions" with the Seattle Seahawks for Russell Wilson, according to Joseph Person of The Athletic, but nothing materialized. Last year, the Panthers failed to swing a deal for Matthew Stafford. And until you have that guy, you’re evaluating, evaluating, evaluating every year." … Unless you have that guy for sure that gets you to playoffs and Super Bowls, you have to keep reevaluating that because that’s the only thing that matters is Super Bowls.
That’s the most important position on the field. "It's an ongoing process and it’s a question of who can be that guy that can help you win. And that’s what we’ll constantly go through." "I think when you get to quarterbacks and NFL in general, you always want to try to figure out, do you have the best that’s in the position of this right now? And that’s constant evaluation and re-evaluation of that. Depending on which version of Mayfield we end up seeing in that matchup, backup quarterback Jordan Love could be starting on Christmas Day.In December, Panthers owner David Tepper discussed the importance of finding a long-term answer under center, per the Charlotte Observer's Alaina Getzenberg: Based on FiveThirtyEight’s playoff model, Green Bay’s playoff odds essentially drop down to 0 percent if they lose to Los Angels on Monday Night Football in two weeks. That’s worth monitoring, as the Packers get Mayfield’s Rams after Green Bay’s Week 14 bye. Currently, the 49ers are now relying on rookie Brock Purdy, the final pick in the 2022 NFL Draft, to push them into the postseason.Īccording to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, Mayfield won’t practice with the Rams until Wednesday but may play on Thursday Night Football against the Las Vegas Raiders this week. It’s worth noting here that the San Francisco 49ers desperately need a quarterback after both Trey Lance and Jimmy Garoppolo went down with season-ending injuries this year. The fact that Los Angeles claimed him impacts the Green Bay Packers’ playoff perspective, too. There’s a chance that another change of scenery could bring up Mayfield’s stats and it’s almost certain that he’ll be the most talented quarterback in the Rams’ quarterback room from the moment he sets foot in the building.
Mayfield has started six games for the Panthers this season and hasn’t faired much better in 2022, but he has recorded 30 career wins over his NFL career. Among the 52 NFL quarterbacks this season with 30 or more pass attempts, Perkins ranks 52nd in Adjusted Net Yards Per Attempt while Wolford ranks 47th. In place of Stafford, Los Angeles backups John Wolford and Bryce Perkins have gone 0-3 in their three starts and posted 57 completions on 96 passes for 551 yards (5.7 yards per pass), two touchdowns and five interceptions. The Rams recently placed their preferred starting quarterback Matthew Stafford on the injured reserve for a spinal cord contusion injury that will end his 2022 season. That opportunity came on Tuesday when the Los Angeles Rams picked up his $1.35 million salary and added him to their active roster. The former first-overall pick was traded to the Carolina Panthers in July and recently requested that the 4-8 team waive the quarterback so he can get an opportunity to earn playing time elsewhere.
