Panthers firmly behind PJ Walker at QB

That was the Carolina interim head coach's sentiment on Tuesday when asked why the team was going with PJ Walker at quarterback in Thursday's meeting with the Atlanta Falcons.

Walker was benched last week, posting a 0.0 passer rating with two interceptions and three completions before Baker Mayfield entered in the third quarter.

"Trust my decision-making. We all have bad games. I could bench everybody if we go off bad games," Wilks said. "PJ wasn't the only one. We're going to rally behind PJ, definitely give him the things he needs from a gameplan standpoint."

Offensive coordinator Ben McAdoo said he supported the decision to leave the offense in Walker's hands.
