Albert Breer: believes drafting a quarterback with the sixth pick in the NFL Draft is the Panthers' "only way out" of the team's quarterback predicament

I don't think #6 is the only way out, but I do think that the draft is. The only vets we're going to get are the ones with no other choice. We're going to have to find out next QB on the draft. There just aren't very many Jake Delhommes out there.

It's not hard to see that Fitterer wants to go the draft route.

Convincing Rhule might not be easy though.

It doesn't work like that

It works pretty much any way you want.

No one's required to report anything until it's official.

It would get out.  Deals are not done in secret like that.  Way too many moving parts

We are drafting a QB at 6.  May as well deal with it and cheer the young kid on.  

If it's Pickett, he's not exactly young. He's damn near 25.

How many times have we seen deals announced with people we didn't even know we were talking to?

Hell, that's been this entire offseason.

Bro there are no secret deals in the NFL that stay quiet for over a month.

I don't see the team winning anything with Sam.

It's either take a shot at quarterback or trade for Mayfield.

Mayfield has not been good. Trading anything of significance for him (especially without them paying a good part of his contract) would be going on Darnold bad. The QBs in the draft may ultimately be better than Mayfield. He's a backup level talent. He's thrown more INTs than any QB since he's been in the league (including Darnold). He's another Cleveland Browns' bust.

Our only way out is to ride with Sammy D and let Rhule walk. Staying locked in mediocrity helps no-one.

If they have to pull the trigger at 6, then go Corral. Everybody will say it is to high a pick for him, but guarantee he won't be around long. Seahawks and a few others want him also. If they need to do this as Breer says, then go corral. The others will be holding a clipboard or riding the pines.

Lol

Or we could trade back in to the 2nd or 3rd and get the same quality prospect QB in this draft that we could get with the 6th. 

This isn't a way out of QB hell but just taking a longer stay with a new face.

[MHS831]

Here is how I think it could be playing out:

We don't see a lot of difference between QB 1 and 5, so trade back and take the last man standing.  If that fails, you still have a shot at Howell or Ridder.   Personally, I think Corral goes sooner than expected and Pickett drops.  I mean, we are not considering 2 of the top 5 QBs at #6,  so it seems the SMART play is to try to trade back and get a QB--to me, there are 5 that are pretty even.  So by having them all in Charlotte, it does not guarantee a QB at #6, it suggests that we want to know how far back we can move.

You'd think that failing twice with the level of vets he can attract would be a wakeup call.
