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?

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By Tepper's Chest Hair · Posted

      Sometimes its fun to read the threads/posts.  The panthers could literally hire a groundskeeper and we'd have a thread "improving the field for no other reason to prop up Bryce Young".  Apparently no move is ever done to actually make the team better.  All a conspiracy to just focus on Bryce Young. Or suddenly daydreaming and reminiscing about Sam Darnold when he was hated more than Bryce Young.  Its really fun to do a message board search about Darnold during that time period.   Or thinking there is just a tree that grows QB, and you can just easily go up and pluck one.

      Yeah okay. We as an organization have been more patient with him than many. And there has been a small parade of guys drafted since he was, also to bad teams, that have passed him. Some have lapped him. As a fan I am out of patience but he gets this year it is out of my hands always has been. I just hope the bar is higher than it has been for him.    FWIW, XL dropped two passes last year. He did do some other bad stuff, just saying.

      Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.
