Not a thing huh?  I guess Derek Anderson would have done just as bad as Allen/Grier.  It is a thing and a smart thing to have in case your starter, say Cam Newton for example, can't stay healthy for 3 years.  At worse you have a reserve QB you have confidence in if the starter is hurt. At best he develops into a starter and somewhere in the middle you have a trade and/or comp pick in FA when their deal is up.

you're right man, we should just stick to signing veterans so we don't have to waste a draft pick on one

also I had this response ready before you even posted because what you were about to say was so predictable

Knock it off.

I don't care who starts it. Both of you stop this pissing contest. 

I see either of you derail a thread with it again you both get a week off.

I see one of you attack the other, you get 2 days off, but if you two start this poo up again and go back and forth you get a week off. Then after that if I see it you get two weeks off and we'll go on from there.

You both are acting like petulant children. I don't care whose fault 8t is. You're be both acting like idiots and it's polluting threads and it's going to stop.

This isn't a discussion so don't PM me. I don't want to hear your side of it. I just want it to stop and it's going to stop one way or the other. Got it?

Can I attack you? 

I was done with that discussion anyway. And already said I'm only on for a little while today.

Day 3 guys stick rates are so high that a QB that potentially doesn't make it is way worse than a DE, WR or DB that gets cut.  I get the logic.

I think Grier shell-shocked you, we are talking about day 3, not a day 2 pick.   Yes, if his stock rose so much he became a day 2 pick, I would even be against it.

There's been speculation around guys like Ryan Tannehill and Teddy Bridgewater, though neither of them would necessarily be backups.

Heck, I was hoping for a veteran backup last year.

I do not think we have talked to many-if any--QBs other than this one. There is something someone sees in him.  Bill B in NE likes him, and he sorta drafted Brady late.  Maybe that was luck, maybe not. 

We have not re-signed Allen.  If we draft a backup QB on day 3, I call it a win.  If he becomes a starter soon, Big Win.

Was there talk of interest in Jacob Eason or someone similar?

Both are looking for starting jobs and if no takers, they will be very expensive backups.  Very expensive FAs backups and rebuilding don't jive together.

Hence why I say I don't think they'd be looked at as backups.

Tanking talk aside, if your expected starter has health questions, having another starting quality quarterback on board would be a sound strategy.

Marty Hurney, drafting a developmental QB from Conference USA? No thanks. I'll pass on Stefan Lefors 2.0. Gross.

True unless, you are 100% in rebuild mode.  Rebuilding doesn't mean intentional tanking per se, it does mean you are going to have along season ahead.  While the team is honestly trying to compete, the parts needed to do so are all not in place yet.

 Now thats funny. 

Why?  Because the poster is obsessed with other Huddlers or that some wanted Grier?  I was not on the Grier train, but I thought he was high on some boards and off others.  However, since you are new, some Huddlers are very insecure and make no points for fear of being wrong (self-esteem, I guess--built or lost on the internet) but they attack others using hindsight.  This clown went back to 2013 on me recently.  Sad.

I'm not dead certain what mode we're in 

I expect a lot of us will be banging our heads against the wall for the next few months trying to figure it out.

If Cam is coming back in 2020, then there is no better time to draft a high-upside QB to see what you can do with him.  At worst a backup.  At best, a starter in 2021.  Nobody here knows what it is they see in him or what Brady and Co can do--let's see.

What coach on the Panthers when we drafted a QB has ever shown the ability to develop that QB? 

We just might have that now.  They seem very focused on the QB position now.

I don't care about will Grier, and I hope that the team isn't considering him in any of their thought processes about the QB position.

What I don't want is for the team to do anything that gives them cause to pat themselves on the back about "addressing the QB situation." What I don't want to is to lose a pick that could be packaged to actually address the QB position, or at the very least, draft a player who may possess some value.

If there's no chance this guy could even be a mid round pick, why is it so important that we draft him at all?

Watched any footage yet? If so, thoughts?
