The COLTS are working out Mark Sanchez. The Indianapolis freakin Colts are working out a QB...how is the team with the best QB in the league working a guy out and the PANTHERS haven't even sniffed a first round QB and our guy is Jake Delhomme?? Granted they probably are not going to draft this guy but it just gives you a little perspective as to how stubborn this organization is with drafting first round QBs..

Every team is interested in just about every 1st round prospect. No doubt the Panthers have seen Sanchez workout.

Last year the Panthers were one of the main interest in Matt Ryan.

Just because you don't hear about what the FO does, doesn't mean they're not doing anything.

Good lord, I love how ANY QB related topic always ends with the poster mentioning something about how its insane that we still have Delhomme or something along those lines.

The organization, and especially Fox, don't like drafting young QB's. Especially extremely inexperienced QB's such as Sanchez and Stafford. They prefer experience. Yes, they are stubborn with drafting first round QB's.

Not to mention, first round QB's are pretty damn risky for the amount of money they get. They are an extremely risky position. Look at the lame-ass QB's that have hit in the first round since about 1995: Kerry Collins, Jim Druckenmiller, Ryan Leaf, Tim Couch, Akili Smith, Cade McNown, Chad Pennington (although he might have finally found his stride), Michael Vick, Joey Harrington, Patrick Ramsey, Alex Smith, JP Losman, Byron Leftwich, Kyle Boller, Rex Grossman, David Carr.

Comeon. And since then, what 1st round QB's really showed solid excellence? Peyton Manning, Donovan McNabb, Carson Palmer, Eli Manning, Ben R., Matt Ryan, Daunte Culpepper (debatable...), Phillip Rivers. Not many.

The Panthers are smart because they'd much rather invest in solid defensive/offensive linemen or running backs or DB's. They are easier positions to transition to in the NFL. They can be starters for years and years.

QB's are just damn tricky, especially young ones.

    • If Canales has helped Bryce a “poo ton” and this is what we have then what’s the fuging point? And the offense wasn’t humming with Dalton in there either, except against the raiders who’ll likely be firing their coach after this season.  XL is probably the fourth best looking receiving option on the team right now behind thielen, Coker, and sanders. I don’t think anyone would disagree with that. Who cares about total receiving yards when everyone else has missed time and there’s like 180 yards of receiving a game.  and lmao they were “believing” shut the fug up. They lost and for the most part those games were all the defense shutting down the other team. The chiefs turned around and gave up an actual impressive stat line to Aiden O’Connell and I not even the most delusional raiders fans think that means anything. Bryce did nothing against the eagles, the Bucs are a mash unit, and any one of us could have done that Bryce did against the giants and saints.  And as far as who they’d get, they didn’t have any trouble hiring the guy you’re tripping over yourself to defend. They also could have hired Dan Quinn, who’s actually succeeding with a young qb.  And people are acting like the risk of getting paid for not working for five years is a negative. Canales is going to spend the next half a decade getting paid to watch porn in his Bible camp office.
    • the Dallas game definitely quelled the hype. his biggest issue will always be his size, and that shows when he gets sacked. he's simply not big or strong enough to protect the ball. even in the KC game, he fumbled it on a basic sack and thank god icky landed on it. INT's are going to happen, most fans don't understand that tipped balls and wrong routes account for most interceptions. but the wet-bar-of-soap type fumbles upon contact are a huge reg flag. the common theme with players like Darnold and Mayfield who previously played for us and are now excelling makes me want to practice patience more when it comes to the QB position. I think Bryce bought himself another season, perhaps with more weapons. I do like the idea of adding a QB whether that's a FA or mid round rookie. if the same mistakes occur next season and we see no further growth or most importantly, wins, then it will be time to move on. just a quick reminder though, football is not an individual sport. QB is just one position, albeit the most important. 
    • There's some big assumptions in here - first, I think Canales HAS helped Bryce a poo ton. To pretend he hasn't is asinine. Has he fixed him?  I mean, the dude looks like he could perhaps be a backup or low-end starter now, whereas he looked like he didn't belong in the NFL a year ago. You're talking about a coach that brought one of the worst NFL QBs of all time to a point where he may actually be a low-end starter. That IS impressive. Second, the bolded. Come on - given the offense, the dude is far from "trending towards bust." He definitely needs work but he's shown an impressive ability to get open. He's contributing to an anemic offense. The dude is our leading receiver (though he'll be #2 in yardage by end of season by a little, as Thielen does better per game).  As to his coaching, he had this team competing and believing against 3 of the better teams in the NFL, despite the lack of talent, and despite our QB situation.  Yes, things fell apart vs DAL, and he was outcoached. But that will happen with young coaches IMO.  I don't think it indicates he cant' be better. The idea of "pulling off the bandage" is ridiculous. Who would want to coach here if we fired this guy after one season?
