A list of every top-tier free agent QB and possible top-tier QB draft pick next year

[joemac]

The past few years there really hasnt been too many 1st round busts. Since the Manning/Rivers/Big Ben draft it seems like most 1st rd. QB's have worked out for their given teams......so far anyway.

Brooks Bollinger. Bring him in from the UFL. He's lighting it up. haha.

kyle orton is the only appealing qb on that list.

Agreed, Orton would be the only QB in the FA list that I would be interested in the panthers signing. As for the Draft list, Bradford doesn't have arm strength and then he also has the shoulder injury question mark, most of the QB's on that list aren't worth the spot they would be expected to be drafted at.

Sign Orton if possible and use the Draft picks on a WR, G or a young DT to add to the rotation.

I like Orton and Troy Smith.

If Bradford fell to us in the second, and we hadn't signed any FA then we could not afford not to take him. His shoulder will heal and he will be good, whether he plays next year or not.

I like Cambell. I'm pretty sure this will be his last season in DC. His problem, from what I've seen, is a make-shift O-line and changing systems like some people change underwear. So basically, his problem is DC in general.

If we were to draft, I like Snead or Mallett. Mallett especially, he has the size and the arm, but he doesn't have the experience. I have a feeling he'll wait one more year.

Mr. Scott is right... drew brees is the ONLY starting 2nd round choice and of all the late draft picks they ALL had to wait a lot of years before they started. As far as winning next year we must have a first round draft choice, but I do disagree with Mr. Scot on the homework part, I don't think there has ever been an NFL franchise that didn't do it's homework on a QB draft choice so I don't think one can do enough homework to have a QB suceed I think its mostly play calling and there physical abilities.

Like being able to hit a wide open reciever in the middle of the field and not overthrowing twice for two game losing interceptions... those abilities.

[Baschski]

I don't think we necessarily need a big name QB out of the draft. Do you think Sam Bradford wants to be nothing more than a game manager for a heavy run-oriented offense? We just need a guy who is smart and reliable.

Riley Skinner

Yep, he's good too. Under rated.

[Davidson Deac II]

Riley Skinner

I am a big fan of Riley Skinner, and what he has done in his career at Wake has been amazing. But I am not sure he has the arm strength for the NFL. And he has thrown a lot of interceptions this year. Might be worth a late draft pick though.

No to Campbell. Yes, the OLine is a major problem, but Campbell compounds that problem by not getting proper reads and consistently checking down with open receivers downfield.

Two words. Tony Pike.

Seven words. To Jordan Shipley for the Panther touchdown.

I would love to have an open QB competition b/w Troy Smith, Moore, Drafted QB and maybe Dellhomo.

The thing that always has to be remembered when talking about first rounders is the high failure rate. Yes, there are the Mannings and the Ryans and such, but for every one of them there's a Tim Couch or a Ryan Leaf.

When they're good, they're great. When they're bad, they can set your franchise back for years.

For the record, I do favor using high picks on QBs. But you have to do your homework first. The stakes are high and the risks are huge.

I think for every Manning or Matt Ryan there's 2 or 3 Ryan Leafs, Joey Harringtons, Tim Couches, David Carrs, etc etc etc.
