On Wednesday, Carolina Panthers head coach Matt Rhule said a decision on the team’s ongoing quarterback competition could come in two weeks (it won’t) or could even come as soon as, well, now. And now, a late night scoop from The Athletic may have that very decision.
According to Jeff Howe and Joseph Person, the Panthers will likely be awarding the starting job under center to Baker Mayfield. That, as also indicated by the report, was always the expectation—way back when Carolina acquired the former No. 1 overall pick on July 6.
