Sports Illustrated's Albert Breer believes drafting a quarterback with the sixth pick in the NFL Draft is the Panthers' "only way out" of the team's quarterback predicament. 

Breer said the "financial complications" of Sam Darnold's disastrous contract, "the inability to attract a proven star at the position and the hot-seat element" has "driven [Carolina] into a corner where, outside of a swallow-hard trade for Jimmy Garoppolo (and his injury timetable is relevant, given that the Panthers have Ben McAdoo introducing a new offense), it feels like using the sixth pick on a quarterback is the only way out, which isn’t where you want to be." The Panthers have met with all of the draft's top signal callers including Malik Willis, Sam Howell, Matt Corral, Desmond Ridder, and Kenny Pickett, who has a history with Carolina head coach Matt Rhule. Unless Darnold has made vast improvements from last season, it's possible a rookie quarterback would be the Panthers' Week 1 starter. Carolina is 22-43 since last making the postseason in 2017, becoming an NFL laughingstock along the way.

I don't think #6 is the only way out, but I do think that the draft is. The only vets we're going to get are the ones with no other choice. We're going to have to find out next QB on the draft. There just aren't very many Jake Delhommes out there.

I’m 100 percent behind a QB at #6 overall if we get a vet LT to partner with Christensen at LG. Then our line is complete AND we have hope for the future at QB. Start Darnold until the rookie is ready, and we are off to the races. The rookie will have good skill position players and a decent line at that point

We're reported to have been in touch with Duane Brown.

I could see a scenario where they agree to terms in secret but don't announce anything until after the draft so as not to telegraph their plans.

      Give Legette another season?

      By frankw · Posted

      There is a lot of talk about his IQ and his commitment to the game and this and that and no one can firmly say one way or another unless they are with him day to day. Not to mention the standards don't jive with the presented reasoning for defending Bryce Young’s rookie season and subsequent beginning of his sophomore season and third season to where we are now 40+ games as he is finally beginning to string together better QB play. When I think of Legette present day I think back to Ted Ginn being a pretty significant bust with the Dolphins as a 9th overall pick and then coming to Carolina (twice) and still struggling with the same mental errors on the field and Cam Newton going back to him again and again and again and even going to a Super Bowl with him as the #1 WR. Deactivating him is weak. Figure something out to his strengths for the rest of the season and reassess in the offseason.

      No MATTER WHAT HAPPENS TWO WEEKS FROM NOW.... this season is a WIN in my books

      I think the season has been a success.  I try to look back at what I said would be a successful season before week 1 and we have reached that.  The success though has you wanting more haha.  But we've had improvements and are right there fighting.  Bryce has improved which was a big thing we needed.  Hope we improves more obviously.  But I agree with others about Evero, unless we have an offense putting up 30 points a game I don't like this type of defense he has.  No pressure either.  The biggest issues I see with this team are, zero pressure on the QB, soft zones, and the horrible special teams play on kickoffs/return coverage.  So I wouldn't mind replacing Evero if someone better is available and definitely get someone new running special teams.  When you combine Evero's defense and the fact we allow teams such good field position often it's a bad match.  Overall, we have won 8 games which is crazy.
