After amassing a 1-5 record in his starts and a handful of career-worsts in 2022, Baker Mayfield simply didn’t work out for the Carolina Panthers. But that doesn’t mean their fans aren’t happy when things do work out for their former quarterback.
Just three days after being released by the Panthers, Mayfield led to the Los Angeles Rams to a magical comeback win over the Las Vegas Raiders on Thursday night. So, how’s the Carolina faithful feeling about it?
Here are the fans’ best reactions from an insane night for Mayfield.
Matt Rhule and Ben McAdoo should be charged with treason. pic.twitter.com/mqiaHYIcvx

Baker got Rhule fired and just helped us in the draft order. Let’s get it Baker!

The Panthers waiving Baker Mayfield and him winning on his Rams debut just shows how bad Matt Rhule and Ben McAdoo are.
Baker handled the situation in Carolina with class and respect, and he didn’t have negative things to say unlike our former coach. #KeepPounding

All Baker needed was to wash off that Matt Rhule stank that was still in the building in Carolina
Enjoy Indy next year Baker! You won the job!!!

Baker Mayfield stays helping the panthers. The #Lions have the #Rams 1st round pick so he knew he had to win for the #Panthers. Baker Mayfield deserves a statue outside of Bank Of America Stadium

With a finally upgraded OL, all the Panthers need is a QB like Baker Mayfield and they’ll be all set.

Folks got to stop throwing players under the bus that suffered under Rhule. They called Teddy “salty” when he called him out for not being able to run an NFL practice and it turned out he was right. Baker isn’t the first and won’t be the last player to benefit from escaping Rhule

Whatever the #Panthers do at the head coach position, they need to hire an offensive play caller who makes the game easy for their QBs.
Folks are doubting the Shanahan scheme nowadays, but Brock Purdy stepped in and balled.
Baker tonight.
Mike White with the Jets.
It works.
