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.

      With the first pick, don't draft a QB? Draft a DE? C'mon!

      This draft is 2023 all over again, it's not hard to see. QB's who don't grade out as high first round prospects while at the same time, the following draft class looks to be loaded with elite QB prospects. Drafting a QB just because you need one (or making a bad trade to make said draft pick), when there isn't one worthy of that draft pick, is how you ruin franchises, just look at us right now.

      I upgraded to the S24+ a few weeks back. Very happy with it.

      LOL... Yet again proving you can't look below anything than what you see on the surface Mock drafts ARE NOT draft grades They are what people think will happen.  They are mocking teams taking QB's in the top 5 of the draft because that's just historically how drafts go regardless of the grades on the QBs.  Almost every draft expert, even those mocking QB's going high, have said time and time again that none of these QB's actually grade out as those type of picks. This is again, where I say you don't like to actually read what I have to say, because I already explained it. 2022 the exact same thing happened, mock drafts had guys like Pickett and Willis going in the Top 5 because that's just what teams usually do, but GM's listened to their prospect grades and knew they weren't worth taking that high, so they didn't. It's not to say QB's won't go that high this year, but it's to say that they aren't graded out as elite QB prospects.   And yes, I've never said I'm not a T-Mac homer. But me being that doesn't change that he will be the highest graded offensive player in this year's draft, at a position we haven't been able to solve since we lost Smitty.  Taking him makes all the sense in the world, my bias aside.
