Panthers general manager Scott Fitterer was clear in his comments at the NFL Combine on Wednesday that Carolina’s pursuit of the right fit at quarterback has not stopped.
When asked did he believed Sam Darnold could be a playoff- or Super Bowl-caliber quarterback, Fitterer said “Darnold needs to take the next step,” and called Carolina’s quarterback situation, “open.”
“We need stability at the quarterback position, whether that is Sam or someone else, someone needs to take hold of that position and hold that,” Fitterer said. “Right now, it’s open.”
