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.

      Wish I would have been able to see the game yesterday. I can’t modify my opinion without doing that.    People said we went downfield more and were aggressive. If I have one thing that is a dealbreaker out of all of it it would be the lack of a downfield game. That has been an issue since his first game in the league.    If we had one I would be a lot easier on him. Even though I would never have drafted him in the 1st round, and have viewed him as totally unworthy of the job we gave him these three years.

      What to do at WR2?

      By ECHornet · Posted

      I will be watching what Green Bay does with their WR room. Doubs is set to become a free agent. I doubt they bring him back, but if they do, that’s a crowded WR room with Watson, Doubs, Golden, Reed, Wicks, and S Williams. I’d really love Jayden Reed if he became available in the last year of his rookie contract.

      D’Marco Jackson, App State grad and Gaffney graduate may be available. He’s absolutely shown out for the Bears when he’s gotten his opportunities. 15 tackles one game, INT, Bears defense played a lot better last night when he got on the field.    4.4 speed shows up at MLB.
