Draft Luck, Sign Hasselbeck

No matter what QB we draft this year (Luck or Mallett presumably) I don't think its smart to bring them in with only Jimmy Clausen as competition. Matt Moore just needs to be let go because he won't ever contribute. Ideally for me I'd trade Clausen for whatever we can get for him and not worry about whether or not Clausen is mature enough to be relegated to a backup role in just his second season.

Therefore, if we draft a QB with our first pick (if we don't then we are rooting for a loser franchise) then we need to go out and get a veteran QB that knows how to run a team. IMO no other free agent would be better than Matt Hasselbeck and I think he'd come here knowing that he'd have a really good chance to start at least the first part of the season. Get him in here to teach Luck/Mallett how to run a team and to help the young QB mature and win over the respect of the older players. Clausen didn't have that this year and I think it killed any chance of him ever being a leader of the team. A veteran is a must and it wouldn't hurt to have a guy that has been a winner at his other team.

Moore can't contribute? Lol

Drafting Luck/Mallet/whoever.... And signing a vet like hasslebeck is a good idea, but we gotta send clausen somewhere in a trade or just let him go, he has too many negatives that you just can't fix

Having Cluasen on the team might make Luck nervous, because he may have to look over his shoulder all the time, and ultimately lead Luck to be a bust.

Hasselbeck is only a good option if we go with a West Coast type of approach on offense.

My feeling is that Hasselbeck doesn't even need to start, he just needs to teach the rookie how to run a team and earn respect. If he has to toss a few balls then that's fine but we don't need to run an offense that he is "made for" just because we sign him as a vet.

never say never, but I'm pretty sure Seattle will be in a similar position next year and won't be in any hurry to let Hass leave. Pretty sure Seattle will also use a high pick for a young QB and they'll want to use Hass the same way you would.

I've heard that before...but I've heard the exact opposite many many times. He's a competitor for sure...maybe more competitive than skilled sometimes and I believe that frustrates the poo out of him.

I've met him once in person, in Denver this season, and he was extremely nice to me.

      Fix Your Franchise: Carolina Panthers

      By fanpanther · Posted

      100% even if rest of team is really talented if they march young out to be qb and he plays like he has for 90% of his starts the panthers have already lost doesnt even matter how good the rest of the team is or isnt and also makes it hard to even tell how good they are.  They need true competition for young this offseason.

      Another renovation to BoA?

      By dave-o · Posted

      It will be awesome to have an improved stadium to lose in I guess....   https://www.yahoo.com/news/panthers-file-rezoning-bank-america-111500840.html     The Carolina Panthers have taken another necessary step toward renovating their home of the present and future. Panthers Stadium, LLC, filed its rezoning site plan with the city of Charlotte on Monday, initiating an important — if mostly technical — step toward renovating Bank of America Stadium. The filings state that the rezoning relates “primarily to technical aspects associated with improvements to Bank of America Stadium,” and that the rezoning is required because “the current stadium zoning is out of date” for the team’s stadium renovation plans.   The planned stadium updates include new seats installed throughout the upper and lower bowls; stadium safety and security enhancements; a reimagined South Lawn Pavilion; upgraded restrooms; exterior enhancements (including LED video boards) and more. Planning for the stadium renovation project will continue through 2025, with construction starting in 2026 and the renovation’s conclusion in 2029, The Observer previously reported.

      In my dream, we somehow luck into a top 2 pick and someone wants a QB bad and doesn’t want anyone else to jump them. Somehow we’ll probably screw up the picks anyway, but it would be nice to do even partially what Chicago did to us. We’d have to lose out, which is a decent possibility unless Tampa is resting. We need Atlanta to stay within a game because Atlanta beat Tampa twice. The rest of the draft slots are who knows because Jax plays the Raiders and then Tennessee and you never know who will rest starters. I think we are top 7 unless we somehow pull out 2 more wins. The 4 win teams have higher SOS and there is only one 5 win team with the same SOS. If we win 1 of 3, we still should stay in top 7. If we lose out and the Jax games work for us, we can easily be top 3.
