Now that Joe Brady is the Carolina Panthers offensive coordinator, does that give any indication or hints as to whom they will go after in the draft for QB assuming Cam Newton doesn’t return?

 

As to the type of quarterback or a specific quarterback, I can’t say that as of yet. I’m sure Brady will have input but it’s up to new head coach Matt Rhule. The belief at the Shrine Game, and there were a lot of Panther scouts on hand, is the team will draft a quarterback early and sign a veteran signal-caller.

i was hoping we would wait a year but yeah the writing is clearly on the wall Cam is done

I don't see Olsen returning either.... three of my favorite Panthers including my all time favorite likely gone in one off-season... and I'm keeping a level head about it others are not.

God, I really hope not. There's about 0% chance we can trade up for Burrow, and everyone else is very questionable this year. Tua would be the second best choice, but he's more injury riddled than Cam, and the Dolphins will make getting the second or third pick uber costly. So that leaves whoever you think is the third best quarterback where there is a large drop-off in talent, and polish.

In some ways getting Rhule, and especially Brady, is a somewhat of a curse. Brady could probably make anyone we draft this year look good, for this next season. Though then what? Brady becomes a head coach for another team, and we're stuck with a mediocre talent at quarterback. I hope we have someone learning under Brady ASAP that can continue his system beyond next season, because I don't have a lot of faith in drafting a quarterback this year.

It's possible to hit a on a star later, but it's not likely. Don't let recency bias get your hopes up.

    • Like many of the old heads, I’ve been here for a long time.  I got a lot of respect for everyone on this board for your dedication to this team.  We’ve all been through it during the tougher years. At this point in life, I’m not one to judge anyone’s level of dedication, or their reasons why anymore.  Time, and a lot of bad football, will do that.  For me, it’s simple.  We share a common bond.  For that, I love and appreciate all of you crazy SOB’s. For me, last season was at a minimum, entertaining.  BY lead a young team to multiple come from behind 4th qtr wins.  That showed me heart, and that he has the clutch gene.  That’s the wildcard intangible.  For me, that was fun to watch even  if it was mindbogglingly frustrating at times.  Over the past two seasons, we have progressively built a better team around him.  On paper, the defense should be better this season.  That’ll help.  Let’s see what he can do as the other guys continue to develop too.  Besides, his contract is cheap for a few more years, and we just made some smart cap decisions during the draft. Let’s see how it shakes out. 
    • Hiring Shula & his Cam save us playbook.
    • I would very much liked to have seen Jake Delhomme's career if Tommy Jone no hurt Jake.  I just know that roster and the leadership were destined to hit paydirt but Jake was never the same after the elbow injury, and unfortunately he was the sole reason they didn't make it back to the big one.  I think that 08 team was the best in the league, and Jake masked his inability well all season til the Arizona game put it all on display.  I'll go back to the season prior even and say the 07 team was primed to be a competitor.  Jake was off to a fantastic start that year (for a Panthers QB).  They may have been a championship caliber club for a few seasons after 08 too.
