Panthers working out Aaron Murray

Former Georgia quarterback Aaron Murray is working out for the Carolina Panthers today, according to two league sources.

Murray, the SEC’s all-time leader in passing yards, completions and touchdowns, spent last season on the Philadelphia Eagles’ practice squad. But Murray was the only player from the Eagles’ practice squad who was not signed to a futures contract this month.

 
 

 

The Panthers’ two quarterbacks behind Cam Newton -- Derek Anderson and Joe Webb -- are both under contract for 2017. So the Panthers likely are just kicking the tires on Murray, who was a fifth-round draft pick of the Kansas City Chiefs in 2014.

Murray, 26, did not appear in a regular-season game in two seasons with the Chiefs, who waived him last September as part of their final roster cuts.

Aaron is better known for being the brother of a bachelor/bachelor in paradise legend than anything to do with football these days! (Come at me)

 

With that said Anderson and Webb are two of the most overrated bums on this site! I'd be happy to replace them with anyone 

DA maybe but I dont see how you can have a much better 3rd qb than Webb. He's decent at multiple positions and is a good special teamer. Almost every team is screwed anyhow if they get down to the 3rd qb

Webb's special teams play went downhill last year.

Hopefully for 2nd string.  DA couldn't even beat the Bucs at home, has one more year on his deal, and his 2017 cap hit is more than his 2016 hit.  With the exception of maybe New England who will be getting rid of their #2, would any of these playoff teams advance with their backups anyway?

DA is extremely over rated

His family including parents, brother, Grandfather and others tailgated with us a couple years ago when the Chiefs were in town for a preseason game since a friend went to school with his Mom. Really wonderful family. Ever since I was really rooting for the guy to succeed. As a result, I followed his career and watched him play the preseason games on NFL Network when they were on. I am no expert by any means but I just didn't see the steady progress that one needs to make. Hoping I am wrong as like to see him do well.

    • Just another 1st round QB that never paid off for the team that drafted them or traded for them. It's been like this since the SB began. 36 QBs have now won the SB & only 13 of them have been 1st rounders winning with their original team. Namath 1968, Griese 1972, Bradshaw 1974, McMahon 1985, Simms 1986, Aikman 1992, Elway 1997, Roethlisberger 2005, P.Manning 2006, E.Manning 2007, Rodgers 2010, Flacco 2012, & Mahomes 2019. Only 3 have taken longer than 5 seasons as the starter to win a SB.  4  6  5  4  6  4  15  2  9  4  3  5  2 [the years it takes for these 1st round QBs] 5  1  4  1  3  1  1  2  3  4  [10 of the 36 have won a chip with their 1st team that haven't been drafted in the 1st round. These are the years it took them as a starter] What stands out? Only 2 of these QBs have lost their first championship appearance. Elway took 4 years as a 1st rounder & Hurts took 2 years as a 2nd rounder. Of the 10 non-1st round QBs, 2 are 2nd rounders, 3 are 3rd rounders, 5 are 6th rounders or later. Please stop wasting time on drafting 1st round QBs with such a high failure rate. The remaining 13 QBs are traded or free agent signings. Stafford, Favre, Young, Williams and Dawson are the 5 trades. Peyton Manning & Tom Brady also won for teams as free agents on a short stay as well as being drafted. The lesson here is don't waste your franchise on farming up 1st rounders for the league, and steer clear of trading for a franchise QB. Stick to finding that championship QB by drafting them outside of the 1st round or through free agency.  
    • I lost most of the respect I had for Fox in 2010. He should have resigned if he hated the job that much. Instead he stuck for his paycheck and let stuff go to hell.    I burned out on Ron too but my deal breaker issue with him was away from football and after he was gone from the Panthers. He may have been out of his depth but never quit on us. 
    • From where they were one year ago to now, pretty incredible. I mean, say what you want about Vrabel he is no Jerrod Mayo.
