During media availability Thursday, Panthers coach Matt Rhule touched on the current quarterback situation for his team and gave an update on who is looking to be the starting quarterback for 2022.
“Sam’s gotten a lot better, he’s really improving in the offense,” Rhule said on Sam Darnold. “If we played today, Sam would be our quarterback.”
There’s been significant speculation over who’s going to be the starting signal-caller for Carolina in 2022 for several reasons. The most serious one being trade rumors surrounding Browns quarterback Baker Mayfield. Cleveland continues to look for a trade partner to deal Mayfield after the team signed Deshaun Watson to a five-year contract worth a guaranteed $230 million and the Panthers are a destination that makes sense.
