The Charlotte Observer reports "there's a strong chance" QB Sam Darnold will be the Panthers' Week 1 starter.

Fitterer has literally said he's going to be adding lots of competition to the QB room. if Darnold somehow comes out on top of that competition, I can't imagine it will last all that long. there will be a rookie (or injured ) QB waiting in the wings to take over.

Maybe Rhule wants to get fired. He can collect his salary from Tepper and then get another college job. Win/win for him.

If any trade or other than benching Darnold I hope this don't take place.

No one in the NFL is serious about Kaepernick anymore. Regardless of how good(or bad) he was viewed as a player and regardless of his political stance, he has not taken an NFL snap since 2016. He does not have a future in the NFL as a player.

I don’t understand people fascination with Kaepernick. He had regressed a lot. He is 34 years old. And hasn’t played a game since 2016. 
I know people will say he is better than Darnold but is he really? Plus I am tired of people going to that reason for signing mediocre players. Even though I don’t think Kaepernick is mediocre anymore.

The media blitz that would come with signing Kaepernick would not be worth it for the Panthers.  

It would be fun to see the Cowboys or Steelers sign him.  The redneck aspects of their fan bases wouldn't know what to do.

Been saying this since the season ended. It makes zero sense to give Rhule a rookie or one of the leftover vets because not one of them will save his job. Wouldn’t doubt if Tepper told him to upgrade the line and prove everything we gave up for him was worth it.

Well, they made their bed. Cam must have told them to kick rocks.

Who is Joe Marino? Profile says he's a draft analysis for Draft Network. And has a Bills focused podcast. I wonder what he hard and he would have access to in order to gain his "insight".

Out of what we got, he is.  It's his spot to give up to someone else.  I feel very confident in that if he has a strong line of protection he will be much better than before.

I agree, in addition the coaching staff should be stronger. His biggest challenge is decision making on those few occasions when his protection held up. If a quarterback is drafted he will sit for some time. There are no available quarterbacks that would be an upgrade. A healthy McCaffrey and decent OL is worth 3  more   Wins if the defense holds up.
