The Carolina Panthers have a bit of a quarterback quandary on their hands. They traded for Baker Mayfield this summer after drafting Matt Corral in the third round, thus bringing in plenty of competition for Sam Darnold. It looks like Mayfield has the edge on the starting job with Darnold the projected backup, but the future could be sooner rather than later with Corral if both of the aforementioned guys falter. Whatever the case, quarterback is not expected to be the bright spot of the Panthers. If this franchise is going to turn things around, star running back Christian McCaffrey will have t o stay healthy for once.
With the 2022 NFL season a little more than a month away, it's time to see if Carolina can contend if everything goes right.
