Panthers release Baker Mayfield

Can't see the 49's doing that. They seem to be a QB independent team so I can see them going with what they have rather than trying a retread at this point in the season.
 
If the 49er's aren't all this guy, that will say alot about his future in the NFL. But I think he has to go through waivers, so someone in front of the niners could claim him.

They have nothing. Lance and Jimmy G are done

Jacob Eason is on their practice squad but not sure he will be their backup
 
When you're an "intangibles" QB and don't win in the NFL, those "intangibles" don't look so attractive anymore.

Yep, he has some play making skills when the play breaks down. Problem is, you can’t design an offense around that trait.
 
Is Mayfield something?

He is not much. But if you are currently leading your division, do you really turn that over to a rookie who was the last player drafted? The team knows what they have in that kid and maybe he is the answer. But I think I take a shot on a vet, to manage the game and has been there before (playoffs).
 
Yep. Niners


What are the waiver rules?
I think the 49ers are 29th on the wire. But only one other team that might claim him but I doubt they do and that would be the Texans. All the other teams have their QB.
 
Happened exactly the day after Garoppolo was injured for the year... That can't be a coincidence. I wonder if there was possibly some under the table arrangement made between the Panthers and Niners for them to make Mayfield suddenly available in mid season. Of course he needs to pass through waivers so not exactly sure this would make sense. Just a thought.
 
All the Niners need is a mistake-free bus driver. Can Mayfield give them that?
 
I can see other teams like the Texans, and Falcons put claims in for this guy...,maybe even the Dolts
