When was the last time the Panthers had a true starting QB training camp battle?

[hepcat]

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"

John Fox calling 03s camp a competition was kind of a farce. Peete didn't practice through most of it and then after like one series in a preseason game, Fox handed him the job. 

Week 1 showed everybody what a dumbass decision that was.

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.

This 'competition' is about as real as Jimmy v Cam was.

Enter Matt Corral who's taking this competition seriously:

Baker vs Corrall will be the bigger competition. Sammy is just expensive noise added to the discussion.

I think Sam will look good or at least decent till he gets live bullets.  Then
