What do you think is the right direction to take at QB?

  1. 1. Everyone seems sure about what they don't want to happen, so let's run a poll. What makes the most sense in rebuilding year 1?

    • Tua Tagovailoa
      16
    • Justin Herbert
      4
    • Cam Newton Returns!
      74
    • No Cam, No Top QB, No FA, Allen-Grier 2020
      38
    • 2nd-ish Round Special (Fromm/Eason/Hurts/Gordon)
      4
    • FA Special (Bridgewater/Mariota/Keenum/Rivers)
      13

I’d prefer Cam, but it’s pretty obvious to me that’s not the way it’s going. If not Cam I’d rather try and draft a QB this year as I think tanking is a lot harder to do than people believe and it’ll cost more to move up for a guy next year.

Everyone seems quite opinionated about what they don't want.  Don't want certain trades, don't want said free agent, don't want Tua, don't want Herbert, etc.

Well what do we want? Poll time!

I want a decision made on Cam so we don't have to keep hearing these rumors. Make a decision before FA. Qb's are out there that could help this team. If we want a rebuild just do it and quit delaying the process.

Yeah I agree to an extent.  I'm not in love with Herbert but if he is there at 7, this board may turn into a mad house because I can really see that happening.  I'm forcing myself to warm up to Tua and Herbert.  Ideally, I want Derrick Brown but really don't know where we go at QB.  Want to get some peeps on the record haha.

I am curious to see the numbers on this poll. 

I figured being a slow time before everything really unfolds this could tell a lot about what the majority here is thinking. (Edit: and some bark pretty loudly about what they think the right direction is at QB so wanna hear it from the more vocal huddlers)

I have a hunch Tepper is going after Tua but I’d rather let Grier get us a top 3 pick Next year.

I know we need line men but that’s a significant project. Getting a QB this year isn’t much different than getting one next year when it comes to our line play.

FYI: Scott Fowler and Alaina Getzenberg had a whole discussion on this:

Quote

Getzenberg: It seems unlikely to me that the Panthers’ starting quarterback Week 1 of 2020 will be the long-term starter. I think there’s a higher chance that the team goes with a stop-gap approach while they are rebuilding. They can’t afford to pay anyone too much next year, especially with a significant amount of dead cap, so free agent quarterbacks like Tom Brady and Philip Rivers seem out of the question.

I also think that because there are at least three teams ahead of them in the draft that need a quarterback, there likely won’t be one they like enough left to pick at seven.

Right now, I could see them bringing in a cheaper free agent quarterback that could potentially cost less than Newton, like Ryan Tannehill, possibly Teddy Bridgewater or Andy Dalton, if he becomes available. This QB would be a cheaper — or, in Bridgewater’s case, a more reliable option, health-wise — but would still bring a veteran presence into the quarterback room.

Fowler: Tannehill had a great year for Tennessee and Bridgewater would be exciting, but in my opinion the Panthers don’t gain too much and do spend too much money if they sign a stop-gap veteran of that caliber. If you’re going to do that, why not just keep Cam for another year and see how it goes? He’s still under contract for one more year at $21.1 million, after all.

And as enticing as someone like Rivers or Tannehill would be, this is still a Carolina team that isn’t going to be very good.

To me it makes more sense to use the No. 7 draft pick to pick a new quarterback. And, if needed, use that pick and some other assets — this year’s second-round pick, any player not named Christian McCaffrey, or both — and move up a spot or two to ensure you can get Oregon’s rocket-armed Justin Herbert (I’d also be happy with LSU’s Joe Burrow or Alabama’s Tua Tagovailoa, of course, but the price for either will likely be too steep).

What should the Panthers do at quarterback

      Why? AI already taking jobs, running up power bills, drinking all the water and just bad for the environment but hey lest try to shoehorn another useless way to use it.

      2026 Mock Drafts

      By Soul Rebel · Posted

      I'm going rogue in R1 but there's so much confusion around us. Last year, we were going Walker or Williams and caught folks off guard with TMac. The previous year we LOVED Legette and it was no surprise when his name was called. This year, I think we nail three areas that weren't totally addressed in FA.  R1 - Kayden McDonald Full disclosure, I want Thienemann here, but think he goes before 19. Some might see an "overdraft" but McDonald unlocks so many people on our D. Having a DT the caliber of McDonald let's Lloyd, Wallace and the newly drafted Hill flood the offensive backfield. Also opens up Moehrig and our EDGES to eat. Lastly, it also removes all the pressure on DB to be the primary facilitator in the trenches and A'Shawn will be missed. I don't care about Turk. McDonald is the only true DT worth of a R1 grade and Morgan seals up our trenches here w/ a kid from a blue blood school. R2 - Anthony Hill Jr *trade up*  I love JRod, but think a smart team takes him at the end of R1 (Seattle, NE w/ two d-minded coaches). Hill, Jr is a beast and lost in the shuffle with all the Styles/Allen/Rodriguez hype. He and Lloyd with DB and McDonald up front and flanked by Scourton/Phillips is nasty.  R3 - Hecht/Lew/Center du jour Let's stop the madness with ignoring this position in the draft. We need one and should start normalizing the capital invested in our OL with someone on a draft contract. He won't need to start day 1, but I think the right selection will push for starter reps. R4 - Bud Clark Not sure if he's here in R4 where we pick, but would fit the "type" of FS/roamer that we need opposite Moehrig and Ransom. Allows us to run 3-safety looks and really keep teams guessing with personnel packages. R5 - Kendrick Law The kind of WR we need. IDK if he's any different than Horn, Jr or Metchie but Law could be a dart throw that brings a deep threat to our WR corps I'm guessing one of the R5 picks is used to move up in R2 along with a '27 day 3 pick.   Post-draft, I sign Njoku to bring in a vet at TE. I'm also keeping my eyes open for pre-week 1 team cuts for a young CB that we could bring in to maybe plan for Mike Jack's departure next year. Flame away.... I know the McDonald pick will not make people happy.
