CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- New Carolina Panthers offensive coordinator Ben McAdoo emphatically said "yes" on Tuesday when asked if Sam Darnold was his starting quarterback and added the third pick of the 2018 draft was one reason he took this job.
Seconds later, the former New York Giants head coach tempered his yes by adding coach Matt Rhule has a say over the decision and "the way it is in the building right now, Sam is our starting quarterback."
Darnold and P.J. Walker are the only quarterbacks under contract for 2022, and the Panthers are vetting quarterbacks as candidates for the No.
