Let's just face the facts:

1. we are stuck with Fox/Hurney/Peppers/Delhomme at least through this year.

2. there will be no trades in season, as to do so would be to admit that the season is over. This is a coach who played his starters against New Orleans scrubs year before last, in the last game of the year to win one more game. Does anyone really think he would trade his 'star' player at game 6?

3. as long as John Fox is coach, a QB will not be drafted. Understanding Brady is the exception, its hard to find quality QBs in the 4th round anymore.

It sure would have been nice to have traded for Cutler and we would not be talking about drafting a QB. Cutler seems to have settled down in Chicago. oh wait, we have Jake....yeah, that's it...we have Jake...Cutler to Smith, in flight, would be a great sight to see.

It will be very interesting to see, if the Panthers go the likely, 5-11 low to optimistic, 7-9, what Jerry Richardson will do.

Quinn BLOWS!

And I have been thinking about this a bit. I don't want to trade Pep UNLESS we are getting a new coach in here. Can anyone possibly imagine how bad our defense would be WITH John Fox and WITHOUT Julius Peppers?

So if we are going to trade arguably our most talented defender then I want a coach that is going to use the draft pick we obtain to get a QB.

So...if we trade Peppers I want to turn the page on this Panthers team and start over with a new coach and a QB that can take over sooner than later. If Richardson isn't willing to fire Fox then what the hell is the use in trading Julius Peppers?

The ONLY THING I want for this team is a new QB that can win games for us instead of "not losing" games. That seems to be an important factor with most good NFL teams...

Actually, I would like to keep Pep if we get a new coach, maybe the new coach can get more out of Peppers.

id be all for both those deals. Quinn is low risk high reward type deal. worst case scenario we have a backup that's better than any of our current backups. and peppers is gone after this season anyways so might as well get something for him why we can

We should at least let our next coach decide who he wants for a QB...

Fwiw, if we trade Peppers now, that is basically giving up on this season. Expensive or not, he is our best pass rusher. Brown and Charles aren't the players Peppers is.

I don't have a problem with trading him, but lets wait till the season is over.

He's an unrestricted free agent when the season is over, unless we franchise him again (or he signs a new contract, which he isn't going to do).

      Hey guys, remember when we won those meaningless games in 2010 and it cost us the #1 pick and the chance to draft Cam? Oh.... right I get that's more of an extreme example because it got us a HOF caliber QB.  But it's the general concept, you want to win late season games when you have the pieces in place to make a run the next season, we currently are not in that place. Herbert and Sewell are the ones I point to so much, because we literally lost out on 2 franchise different makers by 1 draft slot.  Give us those two players while we still have CMC, Moore, and the rest of the picks we gave up for Bryce, and we'd have been a legit playoff contender the last few years. Draft position matters in the NFL more than any other sport (other than the #1 pick in the NBA in a year with a generational talent).

      It’s so crazy. If we had a shot for pick 1 and there was some generational player there then yeah maybe I could get behind the draft position argument. I’d say most GMs and coaches aren’t diving into the draft right now. They are trying to win games.
