Let's just face the facts:

1. we are stuck with Fox/Hurney/Peppers/Delhomme at least through this year.

2. there will be no trades in season, as to do so would be to admit that the season is over. This is a coach who played his starters against New Orleans scrubs year before last, in the last game of the year to win one more game. Does anyone really think he would trade his 'star' player at game 6?

3. as long as John Fox is coach, a QB will not be drafted. Understanding Brady is the exception, its hard to find quality QBs in the 4th round anymore.

It sure would have been nice to have traded for Cutler and we would not be talking about drafting a QB. Cutler seems to have settled down in Chicago. oh wait, we have Jake....yeah, that's it...we have Jake...Cutler to Smith, in flight, would be a great sight to see.

It will be very interesting to see, if the Panthers go the likely, 5-11 low to optimistic, 7-9, what Jerry Richardson will do.

Quinn BLOWS!

And I have been thinking about this a bit. I don't want to trade Pep UNLESS we are getting a new coach in here. Can anyone possibly imagine how bad our defense would be WITH John Fox and WITHOUT Julius Peppers?

So if we are going to trade arguably our most talented defender then I want a coach that is going to use the draft pick we obtain to get a QB.

So...if we trade Peppers I want to turn the page on this Panthers team and start over with a new coach and a QB that can take over sooner than later. If Richardson isn't willing to fire Fox then what the hell is the use in trading Julius Peppers?

The ONLY THING I want for this team is a new QB that can win games for us instead of "not losing" games. That seems to be an important factor with most good NFL teams...

Actually, I would like to keep Pep if we get a new coach, maybe the new coach can get more out of Peppers.

id be all for both those deals. Quinn is low risk high reward type deal. worst case scenario we have a backup that's better than any of our current backups. and peppers is gone after this season anyways so might as well get something for him why we can

We should at least let our next coach decide who he wants for a QB...

Fwiw, if we trade Peppers now, that is basically giving up on this season. Expensive or not, he is our best pass rusher. Brown and Charles aren't the players Peppers is.

I don't have a problem with trading him, but lets wait till the season is over.

He's an unrestricted free agent when the season is over, unless we franchise him again (or he signs a new contract, which he isn't going to do).

      So he became GM and decided not to address the weakness in the QB room following one of the worst rookie QB performances in NFL history?  There were options last season other than signing Dalton to a 2 year deal. Brissett and Jones by a wide margin, both of whom outplayed Bryce, Wilson, Winston, hell even Rivers off the couch was more exciting at the QB position. The time to address the failure in the QB room was last year but instead people on the Huddle cheered when we brought Dalton back then cheered when we were able to get anything for him after they finally realized he was washed up like a few of had been saying all along and got poo'd for even mentioning.  This year, the options were more limited obviously, especially since we lost Icky. It changed the dynamic of our draft. I think we were stuck this year keeping Bryce, but i still think giving him a 5th year option for what has amounted to replacement worthy performance was the wrong move. Why guarantee 25m if you're planning to replace him? You think he's going to want to be a bridge QB? Hell no. He's going to want out and we'll end up cutting him if he has another lackluster season because no one is trading for him with that price tag.  Were there better options as far as production available. A couple. Were there guys available with more physical tools than Bryce, Pickett or Grier, you damn well better believe there were. I've been saying all along, you always keep looking for your 1b. Bryce has yet to prove he can be a starter. Keep looking for someone who may. Put competition in camp. Let the best QB lead the team. Stop settling for less than mediocre.

      Reasonable. I mean I didn’t see a clear path to relief this season myself. As I have typed already, I think the QB FA class is more interesting next season and that draft is supposed to be stacked as well. There just weren’t many options this year.  When you have Tepper to contend with you have to tread lightly around this unless you are 100% certain and willIng to stake your job on it.   There were a couple of outings that helped Bryce a lot in terms of  thinking maybe he can do this, and if you are a supporter you are giving them a lot of weight. You are likely to think just get him some more help and he can do that every week. Which I think Tepper falls into that category.  And the playoffs, division champs, regardless of the way I see that, the supporters will also give that a lot of weight.    And the big one, the atmosphere In BOA for that WC game, Tepper had to be soiling himself over that. If you pulled Bryce out right now you had better be right and your new guy had better make the playoffs and look good doing it or you will be gone and your chance to build your old team back into respectability will be gone too.  So here we have Pickett on a one year deal, and Grier and King. I understand it.
