Will the Panthers draft a quarterback?

In the high rounds, the answer is obviously not.

But if you look at the players who were brought in for pre-draft workouts, there were more QBs on the list than you might normally expect. That would make me think that the team might be looking at backup / emergency / tryout / long-term project options.

So do you foresee the Panthers actually using a lower round pic on a QB prospect?

If so, do you have anyone in particular you'd like to see them get?

And final question: Do you see any possibility of current backup Derek Anderson's job being in jeopardy?

Good topic Mr. Scot. I have also noticed the in-house QB visits as well, and have thought about whom we might take later in the draft.  I have 5-6 viable candidates. 

 

5th-6th Round - Aaron Murray and Logan Thomas

Logan Thomas is a poor man's Cam Newton.  He's built the same physically, ay 6'6" 250lbs, with immense potential, but he's very very raw.

Aaron Murray could be a steal.. reminds me of Russell Wilson a bit.

 

7th Round-UFA -

Garret Gilbert - he was the top QB high school recruit in the nation 4 years ago, and committed to Texas before transferring to Ole Miss.  High potential.

Connor Shaw - USC

Taj Boyd - Clemson

Stephen Morris - Miami

 

I like most of these guys because they have some mobility, winners in college, and great stats.  A few of these guys have small measurable's which could be hurting their stock.

 

I have to think one of these men listed will be in camp with us this year.

I think Garrett Gilbert is the guy I would focus on if I was going to draft a QB. Sure, he ran simple spread offense at SMU, but the dude looks like he could develop into a star at some point. I'm sure he'd also be available in the 6th or 7th and is more akin to Cam than Derek Anderson is.

Actually I like most of the quarterbacks you list here, especially Aaron, Connor and Gilbert if we could get them in the 7th round or undrafted.

      If you could add one player from any team in the NFL to the 2025 Panthers to make them Super Bowl contenders, who would it be?

      Neither Barkley nor even a healthy CMC would move the needle much for us. Those are guys that impact teams that already have impressive overall offenses and defenses, so they can perform the complimentary roles that make them actually valuable. We should know that specifically because CMC almost never moved the needle on bad Panthers team after bad Panthers team. Ask Giants fans about that with Saquon.

      I would generally disagree. You see a lot more load management than previously but that is because being healthy in the playoffs is such a key factor. Different philosophies in that regard than previous generations.  Baseball really doesn't matter until at least halfway through the season. I am not gonna say they don't play hard but the physical demands are infinitesimal in the MLB in comparison to basically any other major pro sport.  People dislike all the shooting these days but that's a direct correlation with how much the overall skill level of the average NBA player has drastically risen over the past 15ish years. There are other aggravating factors, certainly, but that is the biggest one in terms of playing style differences. So many of the guys from the 80's and 90's wouldn't even be able to play in the modern NBA at all. The biggest problem the NBA has with the American market(they are the only US sport that has any real international appeal or interest, minus the NHL) is that they are so steadily corrupt and fix the systems against the small market teams. Well, you eventually lose a big chunk of the league viewership/potential viewership in the process. Take the very obviously fixed NBA draft lotteries. Superstar and upper tier star players rarely want to play for small market teams, nor can they usually afford to pay them. So how do you expect them to possibly compete in that environment?
