Bill Voth on Kaepernick and FA QB's

I’m not sure they're all that interested in any veteran quarterback right now. They clearly were intrigued by what they saw out of Kyle Allen at the end of 2018. Sign Kaepernick - or any veteran - and Allen’s reps go away. It’s long past time the Panthers try to develop a young arm. That road offers a higher ceiling than toying around with most of the available retreads.

Anyway, I can see an argument for both sides on Kaepernick, so I’m not going to scream one way or another. But as of today, I don’t see the Panthers pulling the trigger.

Exactly what I’m thinking...Kyle Allen showed promise...develop that guy and let him get the reps...at least there’s the possibility of him being a Warner/romo/delhomme type of unheralded guy that’s a gamer or a good solid back up...and at a price where we can address oline  and D. Everyone knows what Kaepernick is and isn’t at this point. Burn that 20 mil of cap and money on a backup QB...no thank you

If Kaepernick wants to play he can find a team somewhere else in the league because we are already set at starting QB and QB back-up with Kyle Allen.

If he wants to come, let him come

But its got to be the right price 

 

He needs a prove it deal like Vick had in Philly, as he has been out of football the same amount of time.  And prior had injuries and struggled prior to this break

kaepernick was booty before any of this drama. why would ANYONE want to sign him after a few years away from football?

Because there are folks that will praise a man for where he stands on social issues even if he sucks at football. Just as there are those that will hate a man for where he stands on social issues even if he is good at football. 

 

Kap in Carolina makes less sense than it does elsewhere or even anywhere at all. He had 1 maybe 2 decent years and that is about 5 years removed from 2019. 

 

Can we we stop talking about this dude in a football context already?

      Panthers attempted to trade up with Ravens?

      By strato · Posted

      I am gonna believe it wasn’t us if the 4th round pick price is accurate. We needed 225 points to get from 19 to their pick. 875 at 19 to 1100 at 14.  Our 2026 4th was valued at 56 points I think. A future 4th has less value. So that wasn’t close to enough.    It would have taken our third and our fourth. Comes within a point of even.    Now, moving to their spot in the second round we could have done but after Miami took Rodriguez why would we?

      2026 Charlotte Hornets

      I mean it's expected.  This is the NBA.  And they hate the Charlotte Hornets.  Flagg was also the guy "magically" given to the Mavs who lost Luca to the wildly popular Lakers.  Was always an uphill battle.  But the award is BS since it's not voted on before play-in starts. Kon probably lost because of the play-in as many people switched votes.  It was a regular season award, so this is some nonsense.  Kon also didn't have the luxury of taking 10 games off to rest up injuries like Flagg did.  If he did, he wouldn't have been nursing his back the last month.  I mean, screw him for being on an actual playoff team that matters.  Flagg took tons of shots a game, he was wildly inefficient.  Kon was a huge reason the Hornets made the play-in and turned the season around after Jan.   I think Flagg will probably be the better player long term, or at least the most impact.  But Kon should have won ROTY.
