Hurney: QB is Carolina Panthers' 'No. 1 need'

You're not far off. "Fishing" is probably the best metaphor.

The hope would be that someone falls in love with one of the top QB prospects enough that they simply have to have them. So Hurney throws the bait out there, making it look like we plan to take them. Hopefully, the other team responds by offering us a decent trade for the number one pick.

No guarantee it'll work, of course. Other GMs could easily suspect it's a trick.

If no one bites, c'est la vie. We just use the pick to take the best player available (probably Fairley).

But we're at least gonna try.

Sounds like the Skins have a real hard-on for Locker...

I believe we'll get a vet (makes the most sense, really) I just don't want any of Andy Reid's former guys. They pretty much always stink once they leave Philly.

I know some will say get McNabb, others want to trade for Kolb. I just can't get behind either one.

Not sold on Kolb at all, but I think the dysfunctional nature of the Skins means there still might be hope for McNabb.

The real barrier to taking McNabb is that 8 figure bonus they owe him on the 2nd day of the season... I doubt we would be willing to take that on.

McNabb will go to wherever he's traded and like it.

McNabb is the kind of guy Richardson loves. Great persona, stand up guy that stays out of trouble.

McNabb will not play for a losing organization like ours at this point of his career unless this is the only organization giving him an opportunity. And unless you plan on eating that HUGE contract the Skins just gave him, Carolina wont trade for him either.

Donovan McNabb wouldnt come here. People need to stop saying his name. Only way he becomes a Panther is if we are the only team that has interest and he still wants to play. That isnt the case at all.

I'm sure McNabb still wants to play and you never know... he might view the Panthers as a chance to step out of the spotlight and get his act together.

The beauty of being the Panthers QB is nobody cares or expects anything from you anyways... so pretty much anything you do that is positive is viewed as a pleasant surprise.

Not so sure about that. He's got a rep for being a whiny diva and blaming teammates.

Bottom line for me though: Pretty much every QB that Andy Reid has turned into a star has gone to another team and completely sucked :(

They just don't function as well outside that system, and what we're running won't be anything close to equivalent.

Just say no to Reid QBs :nonod:
