You’re probably aware by now that the Carolina Panthers used the No. 100 overall pick in the NFL Draft last night to select quarterback Will Grier. I’m sure you are also aware that the Panthers currently have a 29-year-old franchise quarterback named Cam Newton. Putting those two pieces of information together, I’m sure you’re probably thinking anything from ‘Well, that’s gonna be awkward.’ to ‘Oh god, what have we done?!’.
I’m here to tell you something: Slow down, take a minute and breathe.
Everything’s gonna be okay, y’all. The Panthers didn’t draft Grier to create a quarterback controversy or to shove Newton unceremoniously through the door.
