Panthers interim head coach Steve Wilks wasted no time naming Sam Darnold the team’s starting quarterback following Sunday’s 23-10 victory against the Denver Broncos.
On Monday — the eve of the Panthers’ Week 13 bye — Wilks explained why anointing Darnold was a no-brainer.
“It is not so much a quick decision. It was more like a quick announcement,” Wilks said. “There were a lot of times that even with PJ (Walker), I knew what I wanted to do. I just didn’t express it at that particular time.”
