If there was any question about the Panthers’ choice of Baker Mayfield as their starting quarterback, he answered Friday night.<\/p>\n

Mayfield made his home debut and provided Panthers fans hope for this season.<\/p>\n

He played four series in the Panthers’ final preseason game and threw two touchdown passes as Carolina took a 14-0 lead into the locker room at halftime.<\/p>\n

Mayfield finished 9-of-15 for 89 yards with a 2-yard touchdown pass to D’Onta Foreman and a 19-yard touchdown pass to Shi Smith. Sam Darnold, who lost the competition to Mayfield, replaced Mayfield for Carolina’s final series of the first half.<\/p>\n

Mayfield played two games in the preseason and went 13-of-24 for 134 yards and two touchdowns.<\/p>\n

He will open the season against the Browns, who traded him to the Panthers this offseason after acquiring Deshaun Watson. Watson’s 11-game suspension begins Week 1 of the regular season, so Jacoby Brissett will start for Cleveland against Carolina.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
