What is the one position on the field that as a front office and coaching staff should be the best and most important position on the field? QB. Thats supposed to be and has always been the #1 priority. Look at the top teams in the NFL most of the SB winners. Most of them drafted/traded for a franchise QB. And they have someone ready to go if something happens. This coaching staff pissed around for 8 years and brought in only 1 QB that is even capable of starting in this league. We shouldn't even be in this situation, and it pisses me off. Matt Moore is a question mark. But he shouldnt be. we should have someone that this team is confident in, and is ready to go now. This is one of the many reasons that Fox and Hurney are, and should be on their way out.

Agree in many ways. This is the same conversation we were all having the year Jake got hurt, Carr sucked ass and the season was lost. One of the biggest failures of Fox/Hurney era is to have a QB of the future on this roster - whether they accomplished that through the draft/trade/ or free agents signing. They have tried but failed miserably and now we have another lost season due to it. What also pisses me off is they were so down on Moore they put McCown on IR to bring in Feely. Not that McCown is the answer but they traded picks to bring him in this past offseason. Now he is healthy but cant play.

I agree with you 100% and have stated so in a different thread.

Carolina needs to do whatever it takes to trade up into the first round and draft that franchise QB. That QB will be the new face of the team and someone who we can rebuild around.

Tony Pike in the second round will be our guy. And I love your sig...EBHS Class of '06.

Agreed TOTALLY! I'm sick of this "game management" bullsh!t! Even when we do "manage" the game, we still get beat!!! I want a high scoring offense. I want touchdowns not lame "time of possession" stats.

I'll take an ugly win over a pretty loss any day of the week.

Whatever we do to win. Who cares. JUST WIN!

This is an argument people have been making since '06 but were subsequently steamrolled with:

"Jake took us to the Super Bowl"

"Jake has the best post season stats"

"Jake is a perfect leader and has a strong arm"

"its the run game fault"

"It's the o-line fault"

"It's the defense's fault"

"It's the coordinator's fault"

"Its the coach's fault"

I just wonder what has put an end to all the excuse making.

I'm sure I left out a bunch. Anyone who has posted or lurked around here for awhile could certainly come up with a more detailed list. Some of my favorites were the isolated stats that included wacky parameters defined by score, quarter, defined down and distance, and my favorite... "when Steve Smith was out..."

I agree that the man to take over for Jake should have already been on the team....like after the 2005 season. they tried with carr but that was a disaster...nother thing, i believe both those cock fks (fox and hurney) new Jakes arm was jacked up before it popped. they have been gambling for a long time and now they are losing which is costing us. I still think we have a good core of players but need improvement at mostly qb. Fox needs to roll out. I mean, plenty of other bungled deals have passed thru the panthers organization but what the hell was your thought process to say im going to give Jake that kind of money off that kind of performance...

We need a new attitude around here. 'it is what it is' needs to change to 'damn, we beat their ass again'...

      Build up the Dline, just like the Oline

      By kungfoodude · Posted

      Gambling in the first three rounds just makes the building effort longer. So you have to weigh that into the equation. Ultimately, you want to get to a situation where those picks net you at least one starter/starting caliber player and two very good rotational players(at LEAST) almost every year. That can get us back on track. So if you are having to just take a raw gamble in those rounds, versus a guy that can help you win games....I don't think we are in a good spot to be able to afford to do that. Definitely not year after year.

      I mean, someone has to start. If we are rolling out Brycd for 17 games in 2025, I suppose that means we will get to watch the rebuilding process all over again. You can try and get another veteran QB in free agency but they will also have a salary attached.  If you want to take a gamble on another young and bust QB, that's fine but that also likely leads to more rebuilding after the 2025 season. Those guys so rarely pan out. So what is left? Draft a QB? Sure, maybe. But this isn't an impressive QB draft on paper and they are going to be walking into a challenging situation. Dalton as starter in 2025 isn't waving the white flag, IMO. It's just acknowledging that we have to start attempting to build a franchise.  That said, I would never be giving out $20+ mil contracts for older QB's(Flacco, Dalton, etc). That ship has sailed.

      I guess bottom line is we need to give Canales a shot at His QB. However they find it.  Ideally we would sign an undervalued vet that Canales knows what he is getting, and start looking hard for one we can grab at good value and groom. And for me it is okay to burn a pick on a miss just don't cripple your future. Hitting on your other picks should allow for a long shot every so often.
