The Carolina Panthers have benched quarterback Sam Darnold in Week 7's game against the New York Giants. P.J. Walker will take his place.
Darnold was abysmal through the first three quarters of Sunday's game, making brutal mistakes seemingly every "drive". The Panthers pulled the plug heading into the fourth quarter and will give P.J. Walker a shot against the Giants.
Walker was an XFL standout who impressed enough to become highly sought after when the league folded. A dual-threat quarterback, he will hopefully help breath some life into a lifeless Panthers offense.
