The Panthers are one of a few teams hosting to a quarterback competition during training camp as former 2018 draft picks Baker Mayfield and Sam Darnold are busy at work, vying for the top job. However, coach Matt Rhule is in no rush to name a Week 1 starter.
Speaking with reporters after a scrimmage on Saturday, Rhule explained that he won’t rush into making a “major decision” at any position. He shared that he doesn’t envision naming a starting quarterback until after the Panthers second preseason game against the Patriots on Aug. 19.
“I’m not putting a timetable on the quarterback position until after we get back from the Patriots week,” Rhule said.
