I say go with Heineken and draft Jarrett Stidham next year.

I'd choose Will Grier so I can keep cheering for him.  He also grew up in North Carolina as a Panther fan.

Plus he's good, which kinda matters...

they keep Dobbs for themselfs if they think he is good cause Big Ben is known to miss games so they gonna need a good backup to step in if that happens again.

If they really valued Dobbs and believed in him as the successor to Ben, they wouldn't have drafted Mason Rudolph this year. Mason played well enough that I would expect he would be the backup (and heir apparent when Ben retires).

I'd root for him too - My mom taught him in elementary school!

It'd actually be a decent pick, I think.

Also a good choice, but Stidham is a good QB as well. Keep an eye on him this year.

My status as a WVU homer probably affects my judgment on this, but that's not all there is.  He's genuinely good.

Admittedly, one other non-football factor is that I'd love to see a kid who grew up as a Panthyer fan become a star with the team.  That was also part of the appeal of Mason Rudolph.

Heinicke is more similar to Cam in athleticism than Dobbs is. Dobbs is and has always been overrated, since his days at Tennessee. Heinicke, if put in a stable situation, has the ability to develop into a starting level QB.

I just watched the Saints replay, is or will Hill be available? He made some nice throws and good runs...

Saints are supposed to be pretty high on him.

I think Cody Kessler is a decent Qb. He put up a few 300 yard games with the browns when he got to start. Imagine what he could do with a decent team.

Yeah I thought they were too,  but just in case they weren't willing to carry 3 QB's, I thought he played extremely well. He kinda reminds me of Brees. The trade for Bridgewater was unexpected if they had all confidence in him...

Let’s all be honest here for a second;

if anything happens to Cam Newton we are so unbelievably fuged that it really is inconsequential as to who our backup is. 

This team goes as Cam goes, so outside of someone coming in for mop up duty in a lopsided win or loss our backup doesn’t matter.

That appears to be the case now, but Norv is changing that. By this time next year, we could be a championship-level team with any number of players starting at QB - which is as it should be.
