"Everything we did was first class from the top on down, everything that we've done. "It's in the mutual interest of both sides for us to move on," Mayfield told ESPN at the time. It's in the best interest of both sides to move on." ... Both guys are doing a good job with that." "I don't play against the other quarterback. I know it's the most cliché thing to say, but that's just the truth."

Camp Observations: Baker Mayfield likes "transparent" competition (Panthers.com)

Mayfield will work with the starters Tuesday after taking second-team reps throughout Monday's first padded practice.

"The thing about Shaq, he'll say something, and you say something back, and he'll just laugh," Darnold said. — Darnold was a little frustrated with himself for a couple of balls on the ground. It's reasonable to think that for the sixth overall pick in this year's draft (and the top player on their board), that's at left tackle for Ekwonu. — As expected, Rhule and the quarterbacks were asked about Monday's six-game suspension for Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson, which would take him out of the opener. The Browns are expected to start Jacoby Brissett in Watson's absence. "For me, it's obviously not second nature yet, but I'm trying to make those steps toward you learn the reads well enough to where it's a reaction to get through the progressions and knowing where to go," he said. Coaches don't want players on the ground, and these are teammates, but that's kind of what they drafted Ekwonu to do. — Monday was the first day in pads, and players were fortunate that it coincided with a mild, somewhat rainy day. — Of course, Ekwonu was still taking most of his work with the second group behind incumbent Brady Christensen, though they're starting to mix things up. It's not being said to one person, and Sam hears another thing; it's right there in front of us and clear and concise." "Get in where you fit in," is the old football cliche, and that's what all three are doing so far. There could be, and perhaps some think there ought to be, but there really isn't.

Like, that is gonna motivate this guy every single day in this competition.” But this guy is going to go into Carolina, and he’s got this one carrot dangling in front of him, every day—those Cleveland Browns that he used to quarterback are coming to Carolina Week 1. Unfortunately for Darnold, he can’t make a lot of claims over Mayfield to this point.

Regardless, Mayfield is the odds-on favorite to start under center for Carolina against his old squad. It’s the most cliché thing to say, but that’s just the truth. And if I’m playing or not, I’m trying to help this team win.

Carolina Panthers training camp quarterback battle: Baker Mayfield, Sam Darnold heats up as Charlotte NC NFL team practices with pads Monday in Spartanburg, ...

Mayfield brought his best practice to Wofford College to start Week 2 of Panthers training camp. Higgins opened immediately on a quick slant and Mayfield delivered a precise ball high and in front of Higgins for an easy score. Smith motioned across the formation and opened at the line of scrimmage as Darnold reached the perimeter. The confirmed fumble came via a read-option exchange with backup Spencer Brown. The smooth pitch-and-catch ended in Darnold and Smith congratulating each other in the end zone. Marshall started on the right of the formation and then worked over the linebackers and between a safety until Mayfield found him. A few players later Mayfield hit Marshall on a deep over route for a gain of 25. He did not do that on Monday, instead his opportunities were fumbled (once literally) by either his receivers not getting open against the Panthers’ No. 1 defense or him missing assignments. After a quick check, Mayfield took the snap. Darnold worked more heavily with the first team. Marshall extended, making the toe-taping diving catch. Mayfield is doing an excellent job controlling his eyes on dropbacks.

"He's a competitor," Thompson said of Mayfield, via Joseph Person of The Athletic. "That's how Cam was in 2015. Mayfield chose to answer those questions in a diplomatic manner while redirecting the conversion toward his current situation: a position battle with Sam Darnold, a fellow former first-round pick. Along with having success in practice, his on-field demeanor has hit the right chord with his teammates. While it's still early in camp, Mayfield has enjoyed a solid start with his new team. Mayfield spoke to the media just hours after former Watson's suspension was reported. I know that's the most cliche thing to say, but that's just the truth when it comes down to it.

Baker Mayfield Reacts To The Deshaun Watson News (The Spun)

Panthers quarterback Baker Mayfield fielded questions Monday, one of which had to do with Deshaun Watson's six-game suspension.

I don't play against the other quarterback [as much of] a cliche [thing] as that is to say. The Browns signed Watson to the richest contract in NFL history this offseason before eventually moving off of Baker Mayfield via trade; sending him to Carolina for a conditional fourth or fifth-round pick in 2024. That honestly is none of my business.
