Tampa, Fla. , Tampa bay bouquaneers Quarterback Baker mefield Throw some shadow on Carolina Panthers Again on Wednesday, when asked about his time now-Seattle Seahawks Quarterback Sam darnoldWhich he will see on Sunday.
Mefield was asked if he and Daranold “reminds of the good old days in Carolina,” where Mefield moved 1–5 as a starter in 2022 before the release of that season.
He replied, “Uh, reminiscent of, What Day? ,
Then after a long stagnation, he said, “Uh … no, not us.”
Daranold launched 11 games for Carolina in 2021 and moved 4-7. In 2022, Panthers traded with a conditional fifth round of draft pick Cleveland Brown For Mefield, who set a high ankle sprain in the week 5. Subsequently, PJ Walker took over, started five games and left 2-3.
After his return to Mefield in the week 11, he coincided with his departure. Daranold took over in the week 12 and finished season 4–2.
“Sam and I are really closer,” said Mefield. “I am happy for him – going to some different places that were not great for us to be a good opportunity elsewhere, it is fun to see. I knew that he just needed that opportunity, and he is rich now. It is good to see, but hopefully not at the end of this week.”
After a quick term with Los Angeles Ram In 2022, Mefield signed a year deal with BUCS in 2023, priced at $ 8.5 million with a base salary of $ 4 million. He inspired the team for 9-8 records and a division title, where he defeated Philadelphia eagles 32-9 In the wild-card round of the playoffs.
Mefield was then rewarded with a three -year deal with a guarantee of $ 40 million with $ 100 million, and $ 115 million with encouragement. After another division title (they ended 10–7 in 2024), Bucs guaranteed him $ 30 million in 2026.
Daranold’s visit has been similar to Mefield, the first pick in the 2018 NFL draft. Darnold was elected third in the same year New York JetsHe played three seasons there and went as a starter from 13–25, before the jets traded him in Carolina in exchange for the sixth round of 2021 and 2022 seconds and fourth round pick.
Although Carolina did not take out for any player, Mefield saw some positivity in her time.
“PJ Walker, Sam and I – It was fun with that entire QB room,” said Mefield. ,[We were] Friends have played the ball, they knew that we need each other in that room … We will just bounce things [each other]Normal football conversation, grow and learn together and go from there. ,
Panthers traded Darnold San Francisco 49ers The following in March 2023 Jimmy GaroppoloDeparture and injuries Brock Purdie And Tray lansThen in 2024, on one and one year deal-this time Minnesota Vikings -Daranold left 14-3, lost to Ram 27-9 In wild card. He then signed this offense with Sehox with a guarantee of $ 100.5 million and $ 50 million on a three-year deal, and was recorded 3–1, like Mefield in this season, 3–1.
Connection adding – Walker signed after spending training camp with the old brown team of Mefield in 2023 Chicago beerHe was then with Sehox at the training camp last season and spent last year with CFL’s Calgary Stampders.
For Mefield, this was not his first shot in panthers. After the victory of books over jets in week 3, he said, “I loved it.”
“And also their D-Menter [Steve Wilks] He was the one who bites me into Carolina, “Mefield Said,
Wilks, who fired the head coach Matt Rule after five matches, praised mefield, but then Said to a reporter Last Friday, “I don’t know how long you have been doing, but I am sure you are quite educated on it. I don’t think an interim coach has so much right on the personnel. If this is, then I will never be able to get rid of my best player, Christian Macfrey,
Mefield also talked about her dismissal in Carolina when BUCS won the NFC South title in the 2023 season week 18. When he said“Yes, we are standing in this room right now, where I came to know that I was not going to be part of the team anymore.”
