Baker Mayfield takes ownership for Panthers offensive struggles Ive got to command this group better

The ' addition of quarterback provided some optimism for a fan base that desperately needed it. Markelle Fultz Jersey With a few decent wideouts, a star running back in and what were perceived to be a couple of upgrades along the offensive line, it wasn't absurd to think Carolina's offense could surprise some people out of the gate, right? Wrong.The Panthers are 0-2, with both lo ses coming to teams that mi sed the playoffs last year in the Deshaun D.J. Augustin Jersey Watson-le s , and the .
