SPARTANBURG, S.C. -- The Carolina Panthers won't make what coach Matt Rhule called a "major decision" on any position, particularly the battle between quarterbacks Baker Mayfield and Sam Darnold, until after the Aug. 19 preseason game at New England.
Even then, Rhule might not declare a winner if one hasn't clearly separated from the other after two joint practices in Foxborough, Massachusetts, and the game.
"I'm not putting a timetable on the quarterback position until after we get back from the Patriots week," Rhule said after Saturday's scrimmage in which neither quarterback had a decisive advantage.
