Then take some late round no name. Statistically it's about the same.

Because Carpanfan is right about the situation, and it means they may not just be looking at this season.

Like it or not, they have to plan for the possibility of life after Newton.  There are different options on how they do it, and yes they include a QB this year. And given that they have a QB guru on staff, they're not necessarily going to shy away from taking a mid-rounder with the idea of developing him.

I understand wanting insurance in case Cam isn't 100%.  But, 1) Grier ain't it and 2) we also have several other needs that we have to fill with these picks in the event that Cam is healthy.

Grier's not the only option. Neither are our options limited to guys we've visited with.

That said, Grier seems to be an option that the Panthers like. The question is just how much.

Grier looks legit to me. I don't know why people are so dead set against him. Sure, he doesn't have a cannon, but he sure does deliver a pretty ball from what I've seen. 

I think that people get caught up too easily with sexy first round picks. The first round ain't the only round to pick a QB that's worth a damn.

My concern with Grier is that he may he a system QB. Seems like that's the case for ever skill position player that comes out of WVU. Certainly looked to be the case during Senior Bowl week. I don't hate him, but I don't want him prior to our second 3rd rounder at the very earliest and I'm not even sure about that

You know it's snowing in hell, but I tend to agree with Scot on this one. 

And for the record, I love Cam, as should be evident by now, but I love the Panthers more. Last season showed me that it's past time to get a capable backup and someone who could be Cam's successor. If you don't think that it's Grier, fine! But fine QBs emerge from anywhere, from Wilson, to Mahomes, Romo and Brady.

The fact that they're strongly looking at taking one is reality.

And if they take one, I don't think they're gonna be terribly bothered by whether you thought it was a good idea.

I also don’t think they’ll be worried about your opinion just as much, if we’re being assholes about this.

Never said they would be.

I just find the whole notion that bringing in insurance in case a player can't go is some sort of insult to the player in question utterly laughable. Even more laughable is the idea that we should just agree to having a bad season if Newton goes down rather than doing the best we can to win without him

I think some folks are dead set against anybody at this point.

      Just another 1st round QB that never paid off for the team that drafted them or traded for them. It's been like this since the SB began. 36 QBs have now won the SB & only 13 of them have been 1st rounders winning with their original team. Namath 1968, Griese 1972, Bradshaw 1974, McMahon 1985, Simms 1986, Aikman 1992, Elway 1997, Roethlisberger 2005, P.Manning 2006, E.Manning 2007, Rodgers 2010, Flacco 2012, & Mahomes 2019. Only 3 have taken longer than 5 seasons as the starter to win a SB.  4  6  5  4  6  4  15  2  9  4  3  5  2 [the years it takes for these 1st round QBs] 5  1  4  1  3  1  1  2  3  4  [10 of the 36 have won a chip with their 1st team that haven't been drafted in the 1st round. These are the years it took them as a starter] What stands out? Only 2 of these QBs have lost their first championship appearance. Elway took 4 years as a 1st rounder & Hurts took 2 years as a 2nd rounder. Of the 10 non-1st round QBs, 2 are 2nd rounders, 3 are 3rd rounders, 5 are 6th rounders or later. Please stop wasting time on drafting 1st round QBs with such a high failure rate. The remaining 13 QBs are traded or free agent signings. Stafford, Favre, Young, Williams and Dawson are the 5 trades. Peyton Manning & Tom Brady also won for teams as free agents on a short stay as well as being drafted. The lesson here is don't waste your franchise on farming up 1st rounders for the league, and steer clear of trading for a franchise QB. Stick to finding that championship QB by drafting them outside of the 1st round or through free agency.

      I wake up this morning full of rage towards Ronald McDonald Rivera / Gettleman / Hurney

      I lost most of the respect I had for Fox in 2010. He should have resigned if he hated the job that much. Instead he stuck for his paycheck and let stuff go to hell.    I burned out on Ron too but my deal breaker issue with him was away from football and after he was gone from the Panthers. He may have been out of his depth but never quit on us.

      From where they were one year ago to now, pretty incredible. I mean, say what you want about Vrabel he is no Jerrod Mayo.
