The season was marred by quarterback issues both on and off the field. Drew Little, who was the Panthers' starting quarterback for the 2010 season, was suspended for the first four games of the season and his backup, Kelton Hill, was arrested prior to the season opener. This left punter Bo Schlecter as the Panthers' starting quarterback.^[1]
