The 2019 preseason is over and the regular season is just around the corner. The Panthers have debuted a brand new defensive scheme, held an ‘open’ competition for their highly relevant back up quarterback position, and developing interest in a new kicker. As preseasons go, this year has been eventful.
The backup quarterback job has not been as pitched as we were led to believe. Kyle Allen came into the preseason with a clear inside lane on that number two job. That was made clear by last night’s game when he played on series and surrendered the rest of the game to Will Grier and Taylor Heinicke.
