Baker Mayfield took back his starting quarterback duties from P.J. Walker on Sunday when the Carolina Panthers squared off against the Baltimore Ravens.
It didn’t go well. He went 21-of-33 passing for 196 yards and no touchdowns in a 13-3 loss. Baker’s QBR for the affair? 20.2. The team is now 1-5 when he starts. Not great, obviously.
Fortunately, it wasn’t all bad news for the Mayfield family this weekend.
Baker’s wife, Emily, once again stole the show on social media with her most recent provocative outfit. The imagery is pretty self-explanatory:

Fans loved it.
“So stunning,” one wrote.
“That’s my girl!! Absolutely stunning,” another added.
“YES EMILY!!!!! Looking FLAWLESS,” a third person chipped in.
While Emily has been doing great things for the Mayfield clan in 2022, what with her recent racy photos at various events, Baker has been a massive disappointment.
Next week Sam Darnold will take over as starting quarterback for the Panthers. From there, maybe Walker will get his job back.
In any scenario, though – it’s hard to see Baker getting another shot to lead this squad long-term. Or, frankly, serve as a starter for any other NFL team. That ship appears to have sailed.
Obviously this pair will continue to make headlines. Be it for their wild Halloween costume decisions or that unfortunate leaked private messages brouhaha Baker got himself in to – there’s always something going on with them.
Plus, their Instagram content always does great engagement numbers:

The Mayfield family is an undeniable part of the larger cultural zeitgeist. That doesn’t just go away. After all, folks are still following Johnny Manziel and all the wild shenanigans he gets into with his new girl.

But as an actual, legitimate NFL starting quarterback – Baker’s run seems to have come to an end.
What will the next chapter of his career ultimately look like?
Time will tell.
