As the 4-5 Carolina Panthers begin preparations for the 8-1 Arizona Cardinals, there's a looming question about who should start at QB following another lackluster performance from Sam Darnold. Matt Rhule is noncommittal on Darnold and making a change. Is it time for the Panthers to bench Darnold? Can P.J. Walker save the season?

The video of Mac Jones' appearing to twist Panthers DE Brian Burns' ankle on Sunday afternoon has made the rounds on social media including to the league office. Did Jones intentionally twist Burns' ankle? What discipline should the NFL place down, if anything?

The Panthers offensive line has struggled with injuries and continuity through the first nine weeks of the season. That will continue this week as center Matt Paradis has been ruled out for the season with a torn ACL. From an evaluation standpoint, how important are the next eight weeks for Scott Fitterer and Matt Rhule when it comes to the Panthers offensive line?
