Mike Palardy Compares Himself To Drew Brees As Both Backup QBs Were Out Today

For a team who regularly keeps three to four quarterbacks on the roster, it's rare to hear the Panthers having a "quarterback crisis." 

However, that's exactly what the Panthers faced during their first practice after their bye.

Panthers QB Derek Anderson and Garrett Gilbert each found themselves exempt from practice, with the injury designation of "an illness." Essentially, that left Cam Newton as the only active quarterback at practice for the first time in a while.

So, when the Panthers began their emergency search for a scout team quarterback, Michael Palardy was all too happy to boast and offer his "Brees-like skills."

Quote

Punter Michael Palardy, who as a freshman and sophomore at Florida powerhouse St. Thomas Aquinas High played kicker and quarterback: “I have a little Drew Brees in me. I've got the size, I've got the frame for it. Why not, right?” (Palardy is 5-foot-11, 200 pounds; Brees is 6-0, 209). 

Long snapper J.J. Jansen: “He was ready to renegotiate at the quarterback franchise tag level. He had some Gatorade commercials already lined up.”

For more, and how Ken Dorsey got involved himself, check out this humorous oral write-up of what transpired this Monday.

If he’s available (fat chance I know) I’m taking Josh Allen with our 2nd round pick. Physical specimen who needs fine tuning but would be an unreal backup/guy to groom/future trade asset/fill-in if Cam needs to sit a game or two/practice QB with rocket arm and athleticism/etc.

Where do you propose getting a MUCH needed backup QB?  Giving big money to a bum like DA again=bad.  Investing a late pick on a bum like Kaaya=bad.  Solution?

in the FIRST ROUND WHOOOOAAAAAAHHHHHHHOOOOOHHHHHHHHHHHHHOOOOOHHHHHHHOOOOO

I said 2nd.  Obviously no way in the 1st.  Consensus on Allen differs VASTLY-from #1 overall to day 3.  HIGHLY unlikely he makes it to the late 2nd but I pounce if he is with two 3rds now in the fold.  A Jimmy G/Patriots type acquisition.

Backup QB is a huge need.

I'm not so sure a first round QB is off the table next year.

At some point you have to start grooming a replacement, and the Packers did it the right way with Aaron Rodgers.

Mind you, I'm not necessarily advocating this notion, but I do see it as a legitimate possibility.

    I love your optimism. Thinking this team could get by with using a 2nd round pick on a developmental, back up, QB. I mean, most folks would never dream of not using that pick on say a WR, or DE. Or maybe a S, or CB.

 

    Not you. You believe this team is good enough to get away with it. Man, that is optimism.

We may or may not get away with it-but the league takes kill shots at our QB and we’ve already learned that big money to an aging name is fool’s gold.  At present our punter is playing QB.  Food for thought at this point.

    I am sorry, but, I don't see it. We do not need a replacement for Cam. We need a back up. We are a long way from needing to groom that guy. All we need is a guy who could be DECENT in practice, and MAYBE play well enough to keep us in it, for a game or two.

 

    I mean, when will this Cam is fragile narrative end? Cam has been Cam for almost 7 years. And he has missed what? 4 games? 

 

    We have Gilbert, who has flashed, and knows the system. We have Kayaa, whom for some odd reason, the FO seems to like. Two up and comers who can fight it out.

 

    We don't need to use resources on a back up at this time.

Not in the 1st.  Cam has another decade of good football.  But a huge difference between late 1st and late 2nd.

      Adam Theilen said he came back to play with Bryce, and he expects the Panthers to surprise some people

      By frankw · Posted

      Me and you clearly have different definitions of production. If you remove the 2023 season where Thielen had just over 1k yards he is 43rd on our all time receivers list just ahead of Jonathan Mingo. And before you ask why would we remove that season? Well a couple reasons. For one thing we won a whopping 2 games. And for the biggest. Thielen was 14th in targets in 2023. We absolutely force fed him the ball all season and finished with the 32nd passing offense. For comparison sake 33 year old Jerricho Cotchery eclipsed over 1k total yards in just 2 more games and with 67 less targets than Thielen did in that 2023 season. He has above average hands. That's it. We overpaid him because we were desperate and overvalued him. That's the reality no matter how many times you or anyone else wants to quote me and get defensive about it.

      He's played great and it was a win-win (rare free agent) for both parties.  One of the points is he hasn't made enough difference to "waste" 35 million on. Another point is by the time Panthers are hitting their prime, he would have taken snaps away from young WRs/TEs/RBs. "Thus" in the long term, hurting the teams new future "window."  But I dare think of the monkey poo of a offense the Panthers had without him the past 2 years. Lack of talent leads to many problems, including paying a 35 year old to be somewhat respectable. Hes one of few that cared enough and made a effort. Plus you know he's done great stuff in many other ways for the team, community juggernaut, leadership, etc.  Judgement is for AT and his 3 year panther career!!

      But it has gotten a little wacky. RBs-https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/contracts/_/position/rb     A couple months ago iggles made Bark the highest guaranteed RB, jeanty was until then. That's what matters the guarantee. A rookie never played a down was the leader, until iggles howie made things right.  If a safety gets drafted in the top 8 or so, he would have the highest money too or very close to it.    Add in TEs and C too.    Even with the fixed %, the numbers are getting too much for a player that's not proven themselves.     Plus anytime a QB is drafted it screws up the contracts for players around and if next year a punter gets drafted at the same 90th spot, they want the same contract with the 5.7% increase. Teams would be laughing.    Its just reached this point. Another 10 years and I bet the vets will be crying.
