I think it would be smart to bring in someone young like Troy Smith or Brady quinn and someone old like Jeff Garcia or Vinny Testaverde. It diffidently would be smart for us to have 2 backups instead of 1 and not to waste a draft pick on a QB. What do you guys think?

That article's been around the block already.

Troy Smith wants to start, and could make a case that he should for wherever he ends up. Not a good option if all you're looking for is a backup (and that is all we're looking for).

Brady Quinn's already been traded to the Broincos. The team that just acquired him is not going to trade him again.

Garcia and Testaverde are both older than dirt. Plus as has been discussed numerous times, Garcia is only good in a West Coast Offense (which the Panthers do not and will not run).

The best option right now is still Josh McCown. I suspect he still will be later in the offseason as well, but the Panthers are waiting to see.

I have a feeling it might be Marc Bulger. The Rams signed AJ Feeley from us, they are likely going to draft Bradford #1, and Bulger looks to be the odd man out. He was pretty good back a few years but seemed to lose confidence as the weapons around him aged and left the team. Wouldn't be a horrible choice for a backup. We could do worse!

Bulger's contract is crazy. He signed a 6year deal in 2007 for something redonkelous like 65 mill. If he was paid like a backup he would be fine. I don't see a lot of vets that i would want on my team. The best thing we can do i feel is draft a backup. I see nothing wrong with a group of young QB's. This mentoring crap is overrated. The OP says something about not having to waste a pick then mentions Quinn and Smith both players that have been tendered and would cost a draft pick to acquire. THEN mentions two QB's in their 40's. Give it up we need a young guy behind Moore. Let's draft him.

If we would go the Bulger route, I seriously doubt we would trade for him. Rather, we would probably just wait for him to be released and try to sign him as a FA, so his current contract would have no impact on the Panthers.

      Joe Person: Panthers really like Mason Graham and Jalon Walker

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      I don't think it was fear of the unknown because he tried to hide the extent of the injuries that made him drop. After the drop, the reports I heard were that teams knew what was wrong with his knee and it was something similar to another athlete from a few years ago (honestly don't remember if it was even a football player).  That it was basically one of those things where he should be fine for a while, there isn't a huge concern of immediate injury risk.   But what he has going on with his knee is something that is degenerative and there's little chance he'll be able to play more than 5 or so years on it before he won't be able to play anymore. So basically it was teams knowing if they draft him, he's probably going to be only a rookie contract player and even if he's great, you might not be able to get use out of him on a second contract.  Which in turn makes the drop make sense, but I'm kinda surprised some contending team didn't take him late in the 1st, hoping he'd put them over the top on a SB run but then not even have to worry about giving him a big contract in 4 years too.

      Depends if they see the writing on the wall with their roster and contracts and decide to bite the bullet and begin a complete rebuild and roster overhaul.  I have no clue why some franchises (IE us) refuse to do this and keep half assing trying to win 8 games or so.  Do it correctly, take your lumps and build a contender.  We shall see what loomis decides.

      Each team plays 17 games.  I do not see why they don't just have each team play one international game per year.  Neutral site game, 8 home, 8 away.
