The NFL offseason is a learning period for everyone and Panthers offensive coordinator Ben McAdoo learned that the hard way on Tuesday.
McAdoo, who’s entering his first season as Carolina’s OC, met with reporters to discuss the team’s outlook ahead of spring workouts. While fielding questions, he was asked specifically if Sam Darnold was the Panthers starting quarterback as of this moment, to which he responded “Sam is our starting quarterback, yes.”
A short while late, McAdoo walked back his declaration.
"One of the things I've been working on is being better talking to you people," McAdoo said.
