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.

      What top 10 prospect do you absolutely NOT want?

      I don't get the Hunter hate. Just imagine his ceiling if he stopped trying to be this 2way freak and focused on one side of the ball

      Is running back on the table for the panthers this draft?

      100%.  You have to play the cards that are dealt.  Not the cards you wish were dealt.

      I'd say its definitely going to be addressed this off-season.  We went into the last draft with a roster of RBs including:  Chubba, Blackshear, and Miles Sanders. We picked Jonathan Brooks in the second and still signed Rashaad Penny afterwards.  Fast forward....One turned into a top 10 back, 1 is injured/out for most if not all the '25 season, 1 retired, 1 will either take a huge paycut or be cut, and the last is a restricted free agent. We brought in Mike Boone as well. Add him to the free agent list also.  We need a physical option.    Which qualifies:  Ashton Jeanty(Boise St): Overall ranked Top 10. Almost 2k yards after contact, 28 tds. Would take our first rounder. My money would be on an NFC East team selecting him. (97.2 PFF run grade) - 121 forced missed tackles.  Omarion Hampton(UNC): Ranked everywhere from 20 - 59 overall. Consensus #2 back after Jeanty. He'll be a second rounder. 1,222 Yards after contact w/ 15 tds.  (90.5 PFF run grade) - 72 forced missed Tackles Kaleb Johnson(Iowa): Ranked from 38 - 69 depending on which media outlet you prefer but generally #3. 2nd/3rd possibly. 1,060 Yards after contact w/ 21 tds.(86.7 PFF run grade)- 66 forced missed tackles Cam Skattebo: Ranked from the 50's - 104. Every mock I do he ends up BPA at some point. 969 Yards after contact w/ 17 tds(92 PFF Run Grade). Probably the best receiving back of the group. 81 forced missed tackles.  If the '24 and '25 draft classes were combined, IMO the rankings would be, in order: Jeanty, Hampton, Brooks, Johnson, Skattebo. I wouldn't take one high but I'd take one for Chubba and Brooks insurance.
