Normally when all three of these things align a ''New QB'' is all but guaranteed, so with that being the case what would you like to see?

Initial thoughts, if we trade for Watson how do we handle the dead money from trading or releasing Teddy? Would we be able to FT / extend Moton? Potentially losing multiple first round picks in the process on a team that still has lacking talent on the OL, LB, and secondary. 

Being able to build around a talented rookie at that pay-scale allowing us to bolster other parts of the roster over the first 5 years of a rookie's career is an extremely valuable asset knowing the money that Watson or even a Stafford would command, I'm not really in on Stafford as he's always seemingly an injury risk, and he's older than Cam so that's a move that doesn't make a lot of sense to me.

I'd do my due diligence. I'd be scouting the hell out of these QBs and I'd also be having preliminary conversations with Houston and Detroit to determine the viability of working out a deal. I'd also be having preliminary conversations with teams like Miami that may potentially be willing to move down. Gotta explore all options and not go all in on any Plan A. Don't be Mike Shula.

Fields or Wilson yes. 

Lance has the biggest risk associated with him. 

If we want Lance and have a shot to get him (maybe even with a trade back?) I think it would be worth the risk, but you'd have to sit him for at least a year, maybe 2, behind Teddy for him to develop in time. Could be a tremendous move in the long run, but we'd have to put up with watching Teddy start for another year+... Give me a trade up for Fields if possible.

This is their first stint in their current positions at the NFL level....so ''new''.

Enjoy yourself. 

I get that, and I also think it's likely we grab a new QB this offseason but Rhule and Tepper technically already got their "new QB." They moved on from Cam who wasn't all that far removed from an MVP and then were involved in picking Teddy. I do think they've seen enough from Teddy that they will move on from him this soon but I don't think it's the 100% sure thing that it would seem to be if they hadn't already signed a QB to a starter contract last year.

      Off Season Thread

      I originally hated the Miller deal but with the cap projected to rise nearly $10M next season the Canes struck some pretty good deals between Miller and Ehlers. Most of the team is locked in for the next few years. Nikishin will need an extension probably in the $6M AAV range. And Blake will need one if we don’t move him. Personally I’d move Blake, picks, and any prospect not named Nikishin/Nadeau/Artamonov for McTavish as I don’t see any any of the big time players moving teams next year. Realistically the Hurricanes should just target Gustavsson next year to fix the goal tending issue. But I’m all for moving Blake, picks, and prospects for McTavish this year. Ehlers - Aho - Jarvis Svechnikov - McTavish - Stankoven Martinook - Staal - Carrier Hall - Kotkaniemi - Robinson Jost - Jankowski Slavin - Miller Nikishin - Chatfield Gostisbehere - Walker Reilly Andersen Kochetkov I’d do Blake, Felix-Unger-Sorum, and 27 2nd for McTavish.

      Best draft picks ever at each slot (4 Panthers)

      By WhoKnows · Posted

      Very true on the length but stuff like this is never where we shine. We aren’t a good team at drafting.

      Panthers Blueprint out now

      By Gapanthersfan · Posted

      Homerism aside, the more I see from Dan, the more impressed I am.  His player evaluation instincts. Last year his 2 premier FA signings, Hunt and Lewis COMPLETELY changed the line and I have a feeling his success in choosing blue chip guys will continue.  Look at the panthers’s rep for FA signings in the past. By and large, it’s been guys 1 year past their prime who had an injury and suckered our GM in to a crippling contract. We never get nice things. When was the last time this team signed 2 young blue chip studs  in the same offseason to contracts worthy of their impact? Ever?  Im telling y’all, players respect and trust Morgan.
