Ummmmm, didn't we have a starter that was trying to come back from a surgery that no other QB ever had?

I have always liked him, and really couldn't figure why the Jets were cutting him when he was still very productive for them.

Just seems weird that we didn't really go after him hard.

Because he would have had the weakest arm on the team?

People keep saying that, and he still manages to start in this league.

Maybe he doesn't have a Cutler or Russel arm, but he sure is a smarter QB than most out there, and certainly more accurate.

I like Pennington, but there is some truth to the "noodle arm" comments.

Our passing game relies on the big plays opened up from the running game. I just don't know if Pennington would have fit our offense.

Not to mention Fox and Hurney have apparently lusted after McCown for quite some time.

yea but jake does not have a strong arm himself..

I heard Adam Schefter say last offseason that we talked to Pennington's agent but he was more interested in going somewhere that he could be the starter so he signed with the Dolphins.

This. He made this quite clear. Plus we should all know Fox does not want a "QB controversy" in camp. Him having to answer those questions is enough reason not to want to consider that. They plan on living and dying with Jake.

      Off Season Thread

      I originally hated the Miller deal but with the cap projected to rise nearly $10M next season the Canes struck some pretty good deals between Miller and Ehlers. Most of the team is locked in for the next few years. Nikishin will need an extension probably in the $6M AAV range. And Blake will need one if we don’t move him. Personally I’d move Blake, picks, and any prospect not named Nikishin for McTavish as I don’t see any any of the big time players moving teams next year. Realistically the Hurricanes should just target Gustavsson next year to fix the goal tending issue. But I’m all for moving Blake, picks, and prospects for McTavish this year. Ehlers - Aho - Jarvis Svechnikov - McTavish - Stankoven Martinook - Staal - Carrier Hall - Kotkaniemi - Robinson Jost - Jankowski Slavin - Miller Nikishin - Chatfield Gostisbehere - Walker Reilly Andersen Kochetkov

      Best draft picks ever at each slot (4 Panthers)

      Very true on the length but stuff like this is never where we shine. We aren’t a good team at drafting.

      Homerism aside, the more I see from Dan, the more impressed I am.  His player evaluation instincts. Last year his 2 premier FA signings, Hunt and Lewis COMPLETELY changed the line and I have a feeling his success in choosing blue chip guys will continue.  Look at the panthers’s rep for FA signings in the past. By and large, it’s been guys 1 year past their prime who had an injury and suckered our GM in to a crippling contract. We never get nice things. When was the last time this team signed 2 young blue chip studs  in the same offseason to contracts worthy of their impact? Ever?  Im telling y’all, players respect and trust Morgan.
