josh freeman to visit carolina panthers

[scpanther22]

Jamarcus, and his agent stepped on their own dicks by holding out his rookie year and not signing until mid September. His first year was a total loss. Then he's stuck in the Raider organization with coaching changes and everything else. Player, agent and team have combined to retard what may someday be a great career. Too early to tell. In an optimal situation things would probably be much different.

i agree as of right now i dont think it matters who is behind center with the raiders..when you FO sucks what can you do..no matter how good you are at QB

you think he could also be the next jamarcus russell? similarities between the two have been pointed out for years and it hasn't been size as the only comparison and they haven't all been favorable, either.

i can see culpepper (pre-injury, with good receivers), or big ben.

i could also see a project like russells has become taking a couple years to get into the groove of things (that is assuming that russell is getting into the groove).

for him to be effective right out of the gate is going to have to take him getting into just the right situation (something russell did not do).

jets seem to be drawn to him pretty heavily as do a couple other teams.

i don't see QB being the immediate concern that several other positions are. next year has some pretty decent QBs in it. unless he falls to the 3rd or 4th (incredibly unlikely) i don't see us getting him. it would cost too much to get him without him being a sure thing.

If someone brings Freeman along nicely and it's the right environment, he has a better chance of panning out.

Russell was just thrust right into a craptastic team with a craptastic offensive line to block for him.

historically speaking....how has our new QB coach developed QB talent during his tenure.

I know of Derek Anderson....anyone else?

Josh Freeman...I don't think I want a QB that's compared to Culpepper. Randy Moss made that QB, simple and short.

I'm trying hard to think of anyone that the Panthers FO visited or had a visit from that they actually drafted... anyone?

Chris Gamble....Jonathan Stewart...Keary Colbert........

thats interesting but thats just makes me think why freeman..we dont have a shot at him..a lot of things would have to go right for us to get him.idk

Hmm.. I didn't know they visited with those guys before the draft. Hard to keep track of that when you live in Texas and all you get is the Cowgirls info. It's good to finally be in NC now, so I can keep up

And 2 outta 3 ain't bad btw, lol

I think Josh Freeman has just as much chance of being successful in the NFL as Stafford or Sanchez at this point.

The Panthers don't know whether or not they're gonna have a first round pick (or how high that pick will be) on draft day, so they're doing their due diligence and working out a guy they're interested in. It does demonstrate that the Panthers are thinking about the heir to Jake as well... and despite what Fox says, they don't feel like they have that guy right now.

I really feel like freeman can turn into a great QB and if we let him sit for a year or two, he could be our franchise QB which would be great for our franchise. Deangelo, Stewart, Freeman, great o-line(relatively young), Steve Smith would make a scary offense for years to come.

Interesting... Although to me, it is still meaningless.
