Rhule "warming to" starting Darnold?

I never wanted Baker coming here anyway, so this is good news. We'll get our franchise QB in the 2023 draft imo. 2022 is pretty much a lost season.

Don't tell that to the guys holding out hope for saviors in free agency.

With Tepper basically giving him another mulligan year, why not? If we suck, he points to the QB situation.  If we do better than expected, Rhule comes out on top.  It's really a win-win for him.

Person added this comment regarding Tepper possibly not wanting to add another veteran like Mayfield...

In fact, after the Panthers traded up to take Corral in the third round a couple of days after David Tepper’s comments about being patient through a rebuild, it makes sense that Tepper doesn’t want to spend much more on another quarterback who probably won’t get the Panthers any closer to a Super Bowl.

So adding any FAs this late in the offseason isn't about getting substantially better as a team, it's about moving the benchmark forward for Rhule, even if it's just a little.  That's precisely what I thought.

That's not exactly what's being said. 

Person's full quote from the article...

I know, I know — this isn’t terribly original. But it’s kind of important, especially considering the Panthers’ struggles at the position since Rhule arrived. The third-year coach seems to be warming to the idea of rolling with Darnold and rookie Matt Corral this fall, though he refused last week to shut the door completely on adding a veteran quarterback (which is to say, Baker Mayfield). Rhule suggested it wouldn’t be that difficult for a new QB to come in at or near the start of training camp and pick up Ben McAdoo’s offense and be ready by Week 1.
