Just cause he's in a WCO right now doesn't mean he can't play anything else. And it's really hard to tell what offense we'll be with the new coach.

We may as well move to WCO, that's the only way Clausen MAY succeed.

Can you name a guy that's successfully transitioned from a WCO to a conventional offense?

Agree Clausen would be better in it, but unless we go that route, I wouldn't favor targeting Kolb.

I just have 0 faith in this team developing a QB. Unless we get some proven coach in here that's done it in the past, it's scary to me.

I have zero faith in FOX developing a quarterback. But I wouldn't be opposed bringing in Kolb and another older vet and keeping either Clausen or Pike. Kolb is young enough that he can grow and mature with us and be our QB of the future. I haven't a lot of him but from what I have seen and read he's a pretty good QB.

There is NO chance that John Fox will be the Panthers coach next year. In the last 3 years he has essentially driven this team into the ground. He doesn't have a contract for next year and we are currently 1-7 with little hope for improvement. Whoever the next coach will be will make the call on the QB situation and the draft. All I have to say is that I hope they make a good decision and I'd like to get a fiery offensive guy in here to run this thing rather than a John Fox clone.

Kolb would look as good or worse than Moore has looked, this season, if he were on the Panthers.

The Eagles have a nasty stable of receivers. That, and the system he is in up there in Philly is a gold mine for stat padding. Seriously, if we're going to switch our system around, I'd rather the new HC sticks with Clausen.

So I just read today that the Eagles want Vick to be their QB for next year and beyond. So what happens to Kolb? I've watched some of Kolb and he looks like a good QB to me.

Would it be wise for us to make some kind of move for a QB that is "sort-of" proven, knowing our track record (or lack thereof) of developing QB's? I'm sure he doesn't want to stay there and play second fiddle to Vick.

This could allow us to work on some other needs too.

Kolb=really bad idea

Nope, but it would make sense since we've drafted two WCO-only QB's.
Clausen ran a play-action similar to what we run here in college, and Pike ran the spread. Neither is a true WCO Quarterback. That's not to say they can't be, but accuracy in the short passing game is only part of the skill set required. The WCO relies heavily on timing and receivers running quick, crisp routes.

Clausen doesn't have the deep arm right now, but neither did Moore his rookie year. Give him some time to finish maturing physically, and let the trainers work on him. It won't take long for that arm to emerge.
