Darnold vs Mayfield might be the highest profile QB battle the Panthers have ever seen. When was the last time the #1 overall and #3 overall picks from the same draft battled it out for a starting job? I don't know if that's a good thing or a bad thing.....

Recap of the last Panthers QB battles I can remember.....

2011: Cam Newton vs Jimmy Clausen. Not much of a battle, Cam was clearly the starter.

2010: Matt Moore vs Jimmy Clausen. Again, not much of a battle. Matt Moore was set up to be the starter.

2003: Rodney Peete vs Chris Weinke vs Jake Delhomme. Rodney Peete was the starter in 2002 and was set up to be the starter in 2003 again. 

2002: Rodney Peete vs Chris Weinke. Again, kind of a lackluster battle. Peete took the job and held onto it all season.

2001: Chris Weinke vs Jeff Lewis, others. Damn what a garbage battle that was. The Panthers went into the season without a QB who had ever started an NFL game....no wonder they went 1-15.

Before that it was Steve Beurelein and Kerry Collins except for a few games started by Frank Reich in 1995 but no season had a true "battle"

I thought 2010 was a set up for Matt Moore.  He was the starter but Fox never liked the guy fully because he wasn’t all rah rah like Delhomme. They were looking for every opportunity to pull him and play Clausen. Matt was clearly a better player though but he wasn’t given any kind of leash to grow or make any mistakes.

Hell, by that point, Fox had already checked out.

He and most of his staff pretty much mailed in the entire season.

      if  ANYONE actually goes & looks at the FACTS on rookie Qb's after 2 full seasons as a starter in the NFL & they are still well below average do they rarely ever actually become top tier Qb's & instead most likely either do not recieve a second contract & or become life long backups...just saying

      So he became GM and decided not to address the weakness in the QB room following one of the worst rookie QB performances in NFL history?  There were options last season other than signing Dalton to a 2 year deal. Brissett and Jones by a wide margin, both of whom outplayed Bryce, Wilson, Winston, hell even Rivers off the couch was more exciting at the QB position. The time to address the failure in the QB room was last year but instead people on the Huddle cheered when we brought Dalton back then cheered when we were able to get anything for him after they finally realized he was washed up like a few of had been saying all along and got poo'd for even mentioning.  This year, the options were more limited obviously, especially since we lost Icky. It changed the dynamic of our draft. I think we were stuck this year keeping Bryce, but i still think giving him a 5th year option for what has amounted to replacement worthy performance was the wrong move. Why guarantee 25m if you're planning to replace him? You think he's going to want to be a bridge QB? Hell no. He's going to want out and we'll end up cutting him if he has another lackluster season because no one is trading for him with that price tag.  Were there better options as far as production available. A couple. Were there guys available with more physical tools than Bryce, Pickett or Grier, you damn well better believe there were. I've been saying all along, you always keep looking for your 1b. Bryce has yet to prove he can be a starter. Keep looking for someone who may. Put competition in camp. Let the best QB lead the team. Stop settling for less than mediocre.
