Panthers will give Baker Mayfield one more chance to earn the starting QB job

Baker Mayfield started the 2022 NFL season as Panthers QB1. Unfortunately, injuries left him out for multiple games and P.J. Walker covered his absence so well that he is now the starting quarterback.

In Week 10, Walker was injured with a high ankle sprain in Panthers’ win over the Atlanta Falcons. With P.J. ruled out for Week 11, Mayfield will be the starting quarterback in the game against the Baltimore Ravens.

This could probably be Mayfield’s last chance to prove he deserves the starting quarterback role. Walker has had an amazing run during his absence, so a good performance against the Ravens could return him the job.

As a matter of fact, faith will give Mayfield his biggest challenge this season against a team he knows very well. When he played for the Browns, Baker had a 3-5 record against the Ravens, with a 83.2 passer rating, 13 touchdownsand nine interceptions.
