Mentor for our QB's

[pantherfool]

We obviously need one whether we draft Luck or not. I've thought about what kind of traits a mentor would need.

1) He should have some talent so that he could start a few games while our young QB gets the hang of the offense.

2) He should come here knowing that offering help to our young QB is his main job and that he will be the backup when the time comes to pass the torch.

3) Should be an QB that has had some measure of success but is no longer a viable every week starter.

Some QB's that might fit that criteria:

Charlie Batch

Jon Kitna

Byron Leftwich

Marc Bulger

and i hate to mention it:

Jake Delhomme

There are others that i missed but i think the backup Qb will be just as important as who starts for us next year.

thats overrated..

who mentored Manning,Bradford,Ryan,Freeman,etc?( this point was brought up by somebody else in another thread, so i'm not claiming to be the first to bring this up)

[Kevin Greene]

Jim Harbaugh.

Still, I think a capable backup should also be on our "grocery list" of things to shop for.

Brett Favre and his crooked dick

Rule no 2 excludes him. He's the Joe Paterno of the NFL. He thinks he still has it.

Carson Palmer

a good QB coach/

[PantherDude]

Bradford hardly has any mentor QBs to help him with the Rams & he's doing well. I think Luck can do that if we get him with how he could be better. That & better QB coach too.

God this is such a tough question to answer for:A) the boobies were extremely distracting, and very nice, and Great question and PantherFool and be sure to check in next time for my answer. Thanks again caller...

umm...couldn't agree more, but shouldn't you put in Kerry Collins into the qb pool? we have to think about places that are going to clean house to see if we can get any good back ups anywhere. What if Chad Pennington doesn't retire? I like Marc Bulger a lot as a possible back up.

[Jangler]

The bigger question is: What if Pennington has to play?

[jtnc]

I say Delhomme it'll be nice to see him on the sidelines again.

[cardiackat88.]

Garrard...duh

[YourMomsLover]

If anyone...Delhomme.

Let the guy retire a Panthers for fugs sake!
