My feeling is we'll probably still go for a veteran option on a one or two year contract while Gilbert develops some more.

Mind you, I will be kind of interested to see what Norv Turner can do with Gilbert.

if that's the case just bring back DA

A vet that can actually win a game if need be

Not unless the answer is Garrett Gilbert.

He's had his moments but is he ready to be a full time backup?  I'd be iffy on that idea.

He has another off season to get more comfortable and everyone on the offense will be making adjustments to NT including Cam.  I would say he is as good an option or better than any on your list and he is probably much more affordable than a lot of them.  I think he is already a better option than the guy we rolled with this year, but you know Rivera and his pet vets.  I am hoping NT takes control of the offense  and fills in his roster by merit rather than seniority.

DA needs to go, he has done nothing to show he can step in for Cam and be productive. Don’t know what the staff thinks about Gilbert, maybe working with Norv will show he can step up when the time is called.

Yeah hes fallin off but I'm not sure if theres anything better & cheaper out there

see how the draft shakes out.  I wouldn't be opposed to using a mid round pick on guy if the right dude was there.  Carolina at the point where they need to look at some young talent IMO.  

Cam is now a vet.  Bring in a young dude to learn the game.  Norv is a big film room guy.  Good time to break in a new guy and have him ride the bench.   Take a note from Belichick.  He always bringing in and working youngs guys at QB just in case.   Guys he hopes actually could be good.  

I don't want a new DA

One of the things Norv Turner says that he loves the most about coaching is grooming a young quarterback from the beginning.

I agree it wouldn't be a bad idea to draft a youngster and start grooming him for the future. My question would be how high a pick would you be willing to use?

Newton

Osweiler

Gilbert

Not what I necessarily want but what I predict. Could also see Moore or McCown

Realistically, we aren't going to get much going 4th round or later with QBs. Brady in the 6th is an exception, definitely not the rule. If we are planning to groom someone to back up Cam, 3rd is really about as high as I'm wanting to go for a backup. As I said before, I think it does need to be someone with a similar skill set as Cam.

DA  is as bad at quarterbacking as shula is at coordinating 

time to move on from da

For what it's worth, every team who has had Sanchez as a back-up raves about him in that role. They say he's a great leader, teacher, and coaching presence on the sideline.

Apparently he has a future in coaching if he so chooses. 

I wouldn't be against bringing him in as a backup and drafting a dude with a late round pick.

Interesting take.

I've seen a couple of different articles that mention us drafting a QB, not only as a backup, but as Cam's future replacement. I mean, assume he'll play at least 6 or 7 more years. If we draft someone good enough to replace him, it doesn't seem likely that they'd still be on our roster by that time (though I know it's possible). Just seems like an odd take.
