Schefter calling for changes in Carolina

[raleigh-panther]

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.

Agree completely.

QUINN BLOWS. Quit acting like he'd be good here. He wouldn't, here nor anywhere.

Did you know that Adam Schefter can put 3 of Oscar Meyer's wieners, end to end, in his mouth at once and not even bat an eyelash.

Not side by side, but end to end.

Brady Quinn was over-rated coming out of college just as he is now. Better off drafting a QB in the second round and working with that, trading for Brady Quinn.

Talk about "inside" information.....you guys are on the balls! :cheers2:

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).

funny thing is, i sent adam a tweet a few days ago in response to speculation on where quinn might end up. he didn't respond, then comes out with "quinn to carolina" in his article.
