You will not get an argument from me. Unfortunately they've tried everything but to draft one. At some point they will be forced to draft a QB. I thought they were at that point last year.

If you hadn't noticed we don't have a lot of choices at the position right now. The position also has a ton of cap tied up. The only solution to digging out is the draft. They need more than one rookie contract at that position and the draft is the best place to start. So look for them to draft one every year until the find one that sticks.

Be prepared for anything my friend. This current front office seems hell bent on getting a "franchise" qb no matter the cost. If you go by what they've said publicly next year's picks are not off the table. Now I do not think they would necessarily resort to that but I would not rule it out. Given the state of things in Panthers land getting a QB has always been at the top of the list. Yes, a LT is still a top wish list but it's always been number 2 in the team's view, or should I say Teppers. They will take a qb somewhere in this draft. No, he won't be a franchise qb right out of the box. Yes, he will be better than what is currently on the roster. The only thing that will stop them from getting one is not getting an opportunity to pick any of them.

I was thinking more of trading back into the late 1st early 2nd. Fitterer is not opposed to use players as trade bait for a draft slot. He's mentioned it on more than one occasion. He seems itching to try it at least.

He's been given orders to fix the oline. Leave no stone unturned. Look for some quality prospects on day 3 to surface that no one has ever heard of.

Don't worry friend, they will be drafting a qb next year even if one is taken in this draft.

The Panthers are going after a qb in this draft. I just don't know which one and where. My guess is it will involve trading up but at what cost I haven't a clue.

I think it's wishful thinking that anyone would want to trade up to 6 to be honest.

I'm getting the feeling Fitterer would trade a young promising player for a couple of picks in this draft. He mentioned that as an option in the video from the conference and again in the interview on the way back. It was a strange thing to throw out there, twice. I think he's trolling the waters first more picks already and it's not coming from next year.

That's rich, Congress investigating someone for shady dealings.

My take is that they have their selection for LT and QB narrowed down. But the plan is to trade down to hopefully get both. But if they stay at 6 I would not be surprised if they don't take an edge rusher. The Huddler will implode killing a million hamsters. If they do manage to trade down I get the feeling it will be for Penning and Ridder or Howell. The top 3 QB's will probably be gone before their next pick they trade down to and even if one is there I feel they would take Penning over him. Then they could get the QB with their next pick, either late 1st or 2nd round. I'm not buying what the team is selling with all this QB interest being displayed publicly. Nope, I smell a rat.

Have not heard his name mentioned in years. I thought he was out of the league a long time ago. Anyway, he wasn't good when he was younger so I can't imagine him being any better now.

How old is he now,50?

I get that. I was probably that way at one point in my life. As I grew older I learned that the strong competition you face is what makes or breaks you. What glory is there in beating up on a weakling? I just think the game is better when there is more great coaches and great teams. My old ass opinion anyway.

It's not so bad. Folks tend to leave you alone.

That's going to happen regardless of who's taken at 6.

Why? He's a good coach and as far as I know a good man. If you haven't noticed there's a shortage of those right now.

I hate to hear this. It has to be his health to not at least finish out the season.

If he's there at 6 it's a no brainer, take him and don't look back.

That happens to all defensive ends. He's not strong enough or big enough. Point still remains.

He's a waist of a roster spot.

We got him in the 2nd round already. Had to throw in a 4th and 6th to move up. We got CJ Henderson in the 3rd round. Can you believe that?

Apparently.
