Panthers interested in Jason Campbell

Unlike other player positions, it seems to me that there is consistently a high demand in the league at all times for reasonably competent quarterbacks.

In my mind, that means that even though Bulger and Campbell are both competing with each other to land a roster spot, their values will not drop. It seems to me that Carolina is of the mindset this year, that if they just wait long enough, many released free agents will become desperate, and we will be able to pick them up after the draft at a bargain.

This of course gives us all huge anxiety while it appears that our season is destined to fail, but it won't.

My point is this: I think the Carolina FO is right.....as long as we aren't talking about the quarterback position. With regards to Campbell, Bulger, or any other veteran QB, I think the wait-and-see strategy will fail, because the market interest in that position never subsides.

Campbell's value is relative to our current QB situation.

He is probably considered superior in athletic ability, durability, NFL experience, and overall intelligence to Josh McCown. Those are qualifications enough to earn him a roster spot, albeit not to get paid what he was as a starting Redskin. I don't know enough about McCown's charisma or leadership ability to know if that dilutes Campbell's attraction some, but I don't get the feeling that charisma is McCown's forte.

Campbell would probably be worth a 4/5/6 rounder to the Panthers, However, to a lesser team Campbell will be considered worth more than that, and I think we have to consider his value elsewhere.

Remember now, we already have a youngster at the helm. We aren't looking for a rookie to back him up, we are looking for a veteran. None of this draft's QB's are ready to start in the NFL.

Any rookie we'd sign would be an answer in 2011/12. Since our organization hasn't proven to be good at developing QB's, I don't think the Panthers will draft a QB at all, and if I'm right then we are looking at free agents, and possibly signing more than one.

I do agree with you here.

I think we'll re-sign McCown, but I think the fact we haven't yet points to the chance we still might draft a quarterback. I guess we could still have Moore, McCown, a rookie from the draft, and then throw Cantwell on the practice squad.

      Redzone Offense vs. KC by drive

      By Icege · Posted

      Film Room Playlist _ NFL Pro — Mozilla Firefox 2024-11-25 10-20-11.mp4 🎯🎯🎯 There were a couple of "fans" yesterday saying that this wasn't a helmet-to-helmet shot... 👀 Looks like based on where Moore was and where the play ended, he'd have gotten maybe just a yard or two more. Chuba was downed at the KC 16 and Moore was on his way back to the QB, so the offense got what they could for the most part. After reviewing the all-22, Bryce made the right call here. Tremble was the hot and KC sent both LBs. He gets it out with a clear pocket but it's quickly collapsing. If there was a little more time it looked like AT came free at the end but whether or not Bryce would've been upright still is another story. Smart move to get the completion and keep the field goal in play to stay alive. George Karlaftis is about to get himself a big ole hug and Bryce heaves it to where David Moore is going. Trent McDuffie slipped just a step or two before this shot, but we can see the clear DPI here as he's wrapped around David Moore before knocking him over as the ball gets there.

      2025 Mock Drafts

      I’m taking a TE early day 3 Ian Thomas and Tremble are FA.  We should have no desire to bring them back.   There’s more than enough film of ball bouncing off their hands or facemask.

      Bryce developing before our eyes

      Daniel Jones sometimes would sling it for 300 or 400 yards.  That's my stance.  We know what Bryce is.  If you consistently play any QB at this level, they largely are going to end up w/ some good days/games.  last time Mahomes was at BOA, Teddy Bridgwater threw for 300+ yards and a couple TDs and the Matt Rhule Panthers almost took him down.  We know what Bryce is.  Now we got people predictably falling into a predictable trap.
