Carolina Panthers
The Panthers are another team with a huge question mark under center.
The franchise might be looking to move on from Cam Newton this offseason in order to save a hefty sum of money, which could lead to Carolina looking for a new quarterback, whether that be in free agency, the draft, or both.
Kyle Allen failed to prove he was the long-term solution, and if the Panthers move on from both he and Newton, Will Grier would be the only signal-caller left standing.
A scenario in which Mariota battles it out with Grier, and quite possibly a rookie quarterback, sets up perfectly for No. 8 to come away with the starting spot for Week 1.
Having wide receivers like D.J. Moore and Curtis Samuel, along with star running back Christian McCaffrey, could lead to a situation in which Mariota can thrive.
