While I guess things could change I have gotten zero sense that the Panthers are planning on seriously pursuing Carr or any other high priced vet QB. If anything they might kick the tires and do some due diligence but that’s the extent  

The plan since Reich’s hiring and all the staff brought in since have been about drafting and developing their own franchise quarterback. I don’t know where others are “hearing” things but at this point it’s much more likely to trade up in the draft than sign or trade for a current signal caller.

Pretty obvious we are taking a first round QB and the coaches hired have a 2-3 year window to mold him behind a good and young OL.  

I don’t understand how this plan by now isn’t clear to some ppl.. 

They’ve had plenty chances not to go this path..

1. Trading CMC for picks then not trading Burns.. So you get the picks to get your QB but don’t effect the defense..

2. If they wanted a vet FA option.. They could have save themselves from the grief of not picking Wilks.. Get Carr and run it back with a better QB.. They didn’t do that..

3. Bringing in not 1 but 3 QB whispers (Reich, Caldwell, and Mccown).. Why does a vet QB need this many QB guys on staff?? A rookie does..

They’ve been clear about the plan since Rhule was fired..

People love taking on other teams QB's thinking they will make a difference for us.smh

 

I see everybody claiming Carr is elite, but nobody can tell me why the Raiders cut bait with such an elite QB...

The same reason the Broncos cut bait with Cutler.

There aren't 32 people currently walking the planet that can play QB in the NFL to a competent level. This whole 'retread' narrative is ridiculous. Carr is a proven commodity.

He's thrown for 35k yards in his career with a 2-1 TD-INT ratio (with over 200TDs).

So yeah, he's proven he's a pretty damn good NFL QB. 

Who has won nothing and put up meaningless stats..

At this point he’s Kurt Cousin lite and wants Cousin money.. 

But you’re right he’s proven in 8 years he has a ceiling and that ceiling needs a lot of help that his contract demands won’t help you get..

I can’t understand ppl fascination with quick fixes to mediocre?? Smh

Drafting a franchise QB is usually the way to go (easier said than done), but for those teams who only lack a few pieces of the puzzle, bringing in a hired gun has proven to be a successful strategy (See the Rams and Bucs).

I don't believe the Panthers are just a few pieces away from competing, so if Reich and Company believe in one of these QBs in the draft they've got my support.  On the other hand, if they choose to bring in one of the better vets to make the Panthers immediate playoff contenders, I'm good with that as well.

Afterall, I'm just a spectator.  No matter which way the Panthers decide to go, it isn't going to change my life in any meaningful way.

Pretty much.

How about reasonably priced vets like Brissett or Minshew who have experience in Indy/Philly systems?

Well some younger vet QBs could still stand development, and some obviously made some jumps the last couple of years. 

I know that many of you just don't believe in Matt Corral, but I'd say that he will be on their things-to-do-list as well as anyone.

      Some love for Steve Wilks

      By PootieNunu · Posted

      Wilks is a nobody in the grand scheme of things.  He is right back out of the NFL, exactly where he was before Carolina dragged him back to the NFL.  I don't see what he has to be pissed or salty about. He got a shot with 2 teams and was just a average coach as he has always been.  He is a lesser Fox/Rivera

      Chris Long: Bryce Young Went Toe To Toe With Patrick Mahomes

      By shaka · Posted

      The way BY must play quarterback has a much higher degree of difficulty.  Coupled with his physical limitations his margin for error is small.    The guy evading the blitz and dropping a dime deep over double coverage is more exciting then a wobbling ball thrown into the blitz with good enough placement that gets 6 yards on a 3rd and 5.  It's been beat to death that he will never be the first guy.  He was the second guy vs the Chiefs.    The second guy is harder to do because it's mostly mental:  reading, reacting and processing the correct solution that the defense provided within a second or two.    It's harder to see on film, it's harder to evaluate.  That's why I think there's a divergence between fans yelling "noodle armed middle schooler!!" and analysts going "hold up, let's not write him off yet"    I personally need to see the Chiefs game be the start of growth before getting hopeful.  Ideally would like to see 1-2 300yd multi td games.  Then I'd expect the entire off season to fix his footwork.  With his physical limitations that footwork needs to be damn near perfect.  I would still bring in competition at the QB spot even in that scenario.
