Backup QB Options

[Mr. Scot]

With Moore now officially named the starter, the team is in need of a veteran backup. The most obvious name out there would have to be Josh McCown. My hope is that the Panthers re-sign him.

Barring that, there's Chad Pennington (assuming Miami doesn't convince him to stay), guys like Kyle Boller, Patrick Ramsey, possibly Marc Bulger, and the recently released Jim Sorgi (whether Meeks would lobby for him is unknown).

Let's be clear up front. For numberous reasons, Michael Vick is not an option. Don't even bother pitching it because it's not going to happen. Neither is Delhomme coming back at a reduced salary. They released him in part so that Moore wouldn't have to look over his shoulder.

So who would you like to see them bring in for a shot?

I'd love Bulger if released.... otherwise I am fine with McCown

Stick with a vet who knows the system and sign McCown.

What if Moore and McCown end up being the vets so to speak?

Would it surprise you if the Panthers picked a QB with their third rounder? They are not planning on going to the playoffs next season they way it looks. So why go get a vet?

McCown

McCown + late round draft pick and we're set at QB.

I already have a Bulger rookie auto card so I will go with him..

McCown could give some stability to Moore adjusting as the man. This would mean that at some point....McCown could be the man. You ok with that?

I'm not.

So, get one other solid vet. No need to draft a qb this year unless one falls into your lap in the draft much earlier than you thought.

Pennington?

This is the most moronic written sentance in recorded human history. Congrats!

You obviously missed the whole Tommy Jone episode.

I would be thrilled if we could snag Pennington as a backup.
