Would Trent Edwards Fit As Panthers QB?

I love all these threads where people offer up QB ideas and they're all garbage: Edwards, Campbell, Thigepen, Pat White, Quinn, etc. Why don't we set our goals a tad bit higher? And no, don't ask me how we could get a QB like that. It just depresses me to think McCown, Trent Edwards, or freakin' Brady Quinn is the future of this team.

There are very few elite quarterbacks in this league, and it's often tough to find a franchise quarterback through the draft.

What's wrong with surveying realistic options? Many of the names you've mentioned have shown promise, and could benefit from a change in scenery.

For the record, I think Campbell or Thigpen would be good fits here.

hahahahaha is this thread a joke. Trent Edwards is ruined. He played real well before he took that helmet to helmet hit from Adrian Wilson last season, since that concussion he has been a different QB. He's scared to throw the ball downfield and always looks at the checkdown first!

Then again to be fair, he has had to deal with 2 different systems in 2 years and 2 completely DIFFERENT O-lines, we have basically started 4 rookies on the O-line all year which has been the main problem for our offensive woes this year. But I personally think a short career of injuries and concussions have ruined and changed Trent.

Lee Evans and T.O. have gone public on how they think Fitzpatrick gives the team a better chance to win so Edwards likely won't even get another start the rest of the season. He will likely be cut at the end of the year.

      Okay gentlemen, REAL talk...

      Here's the thing. You compared him to Jake. Jake was signed to the practice squad out of college. Bryce was the number 1 overall. Their expectations are wildly different and so are their contracts. You can talk all you want about what a player is and where they are now and all this other mumbo jumbo, but Jake never had a 5th year option and we weren't talking about the possibility of a top 5 QB contract extension at the end of his 3rd year. What he was expected to be matters because we invested heavily at a cost of future capital, including a 2nd round pick this year, for him to be that guy. The cost to add Bryce took value from the team. To be worth it, he has to add that value back.  Actually, I don't prefer yards, TDs, or only INTs. All those stats by themselves are misleading which is why I said you have to use a lot of different stats. ADOT - Average depth of target.  Completion %. Pretty obvious until you factor in ADOT. 0-5 has a lot higher C% than 10-15%. Hang time. If a pass is in the air for 4.6 seconds vs 3.1 on a 40 yards throw, that gives a DB a lot of time to correct. Is it a loft or is it a laser.  EPA - Expected points added. A way of measuring QB efficiency on every play.  CPOE - ranking pass completions based on several factors, not just the throw.  There's obviously more, but those are the more common.  Typical stats don't show everything. You need to look all over. Looking at a stat line is lazy. That's why I said, you need to analyze everything. Once you start looking at the numbers you start looking at the player. That's why you follow numbers. They lead you places. You look at what happening when the numbers show you patterns. That's where you start finding the problems that yards, TDs and Ints won't show you.

      ESPN guys talk Bryce fifth year option

      It's not relevant who wins or loses. It's about actually attempting to get better at the position.

      Bryce might be the most frustrating player we've ever had.

      Thank you. I don't understand how the Bryce stans don't see this. I've never seen a player get more hyped for doing so little. Honestly it's driving me a little insane.
