“The people here may not know what they are doing” - NFL analyst slams Carolina Panthers' quarterback carousel

The quarterback carousel this offseason is set to come to a halt soon following Baker Mayfield's recent trade to the Carolina Panthers in exchange for a fifth-round pick.

The disgruntled Browns quarterback requested a trade from the team when they acquired Houston Texans All-Pro Deshaun Watson.

NFL analyst Roger Sherman spoke about the Panthers management and their lack of success with recent quarterbacks on the Ringer NFL podcast.

Sherman said:

"Since Matt Rhule took over, they cut Cam, they signed Teddy, they traded away Teddy, they paid a lot of money they ate a lot of cap to trade him away and started paying him a lot. Then they had to bring back Cam. When you lay it all out it just gives the impression that the people here may not know what they are doing. "

Teddy Bridgewater signed a three-year, $63 million contract on March 26, 2020. He was released after one season after throwing 15 touchdowns and 10 interceptions as the Panthers slumped to a 5-10 record.

On April 5, 2021, Darnold was traded to Carolina in exchange for a 2021 sixth-round pick and second- and fourth-round picks in 2022. Darnold went 4-7 as the starter last year and threw nine touchdowns to 13 interceptions. He did add a career-high 222 rushing yards and five rushing touchdowns though.

The Panthers signed former quarterback Cam Newton after Darnold went down with injury last season. He had an awful second stint with Carolina. Newton went 0-5 as the starter, throwing four touchdowns to five interceptions. Carolina has no plans to bring him back this coming season.

They also signed PJ Walker, who shined in the XFL but has only started two games for the Panthers since joining the team in 2020. He went 2-0 but only threw for two touchdowns and eight interceptions.

Mayfield will now be the newest quarterback to try his luck in Carolina.

Mayfield joins Sam Darnold, PJ Walker, and rookie Matt Corral in Carolina's quarterback room. The signal caller during his time with Cleveland led them to their first playoff win since 1995. He also threw for over 14,000 yards and 92 touchdowns in his four seasons with the Browns.

While the job won't be given to Mayfield, one can imagine he will win the starting role in the offseason. He's the best quarterback on their roster, has the most career wins, and has won a playoff game.
