Baker stated he didn't care that the fans were booing in the stand, "all that matters" (to him, at least) is the locker room. Well then. So there you have it.

Baker Mayfield took a snap on fourth-and-1 in the fourth quarter and looked for a target. Unfortunately for the Carolina Panthers (1-3) — like four other times in the team’s 26-16 home loss to the Arizona Cardinals (2-2) on Sunday — the only thing Mayfield could hit was a defender’s hand. Cardinals defensive end Zach Allen leaped and batted the ball down, forcing a turnover on downs. The crowd launched into an onslaught of boos just minutes after rooting the team on with “Keep Pounding” chants. Mayfield and his teammates walked to the sideline as the chorus of jeers projected from the stands.
The game was effectively over, but the world wasn’t ending, according to the Panthers’ polarizing QB. “Obviously, I’m frustrated, the fact that we’re 1-3,” Mayfield said. “I mean, that’s it though. We’re four weeks into the year. We can sit here and let you guys pile on us, or we’re gonna come together as a locker room. That’s exactly how we’re going to handle it.
“I don’t really care about the fact that our fans are booing or what’s going on — we’re going to figure it out and when we win, it’ll still just be us in the locker room, and that’s all I really care about. So, we’re going to be just fine.”
While Panthers fans have grown frustrated with Mayfield’s struggles through the first four games of the season, his teammates and head coach Matt Rhule — at least publicly — are providing support.
