With the 2023 NFL Scouting Combine now coming to a conclusion, the Carolina Panthers will have a broader lay of the land regarding potential targets and the options at their disposal. Interviews and assessments formed the key elements throughout the week, with the team also using this opportunity to discuss a potential switch for veteran free-agent Derek Carr. This has come with a mixed reaction from the team’s fanbase, who want a long-term alternative via the draft. However, judging by the general consensus in Indianapolis, the Panthers might need to make a daring move up the pecking order to land their prospect of choice. General manager Scott Fitterer and others have a monumental upcoming decision at football’s most important position. One that could shape the franchise’s future for good or bad in the coming years.
