Crazy Idea: Sign UFA Minshew, Draft a TE

Now that we are out of the running for a top QB in this draft--and I doubt we have the capital to move up--I say take a close look at Gardner Minshew.  Draft a stud Offensive weapon TE instead.

The Minshew deal would remind me of the Jake Delhomme acquisition.  We would have a 26-27 year old QB who is a fiery leader.  A solid OL, and a new tool for the offense--today's NFL offenses need a productive receiving TE.  If we continue to run the ball, you do not need a $50m QB.

With the way the Defense is playing, and if we can improve the Offense at 2 spots (TE, QB), I think the Panthers would be in "win now" mode. 

I am just speculating for fun, and I realize there are hundreds of scenarios, but I have always liked Minshew and I think, in the right system, he could be very good.

And hell, even if you draft Anthony Richardson signing a guy like Minshew as a bridge/mentor wouldn't be a bad idea. You don't want to be forced to play a guy like that until he's truly ready.

Minshew, Richardson, and Eagles OC has been mentioned a few times on here.

We’ve hit that point where we can’t even hope for more. We’re just hoping to get a delhomme? No. Take a risk. Give me a guy that has a high ceiling. Draft THE guy. We’ve hoped the last like 3 QBs could at least be a jake. Where has that gotten us? 

Are you kidding me? I'd love to have another Delhomme. I'd rather have another Cam but he'll yeah I'd take another Delhomme. Put a prime Jake Delhomme on this team and we could make some noise.

I know what you’re saying. But do you not see yourself settling for less? Not saying jake was terrible or having someone of his level/skillset isn’t an improvement of what we currently have. Didn’t mean to make it look like i was bashing him that hard lol

Are we supposed to settle for nothing less than GOAT level QB play? Should the Chargers castoff Herbert because he isn't Mahomes? I mean, if they're so inclined I'd gladly oblige them.

      Can we get to 9-8?

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      A winning record would be nice, but I still have us winning around the 6 to 8 game mark. Realistically we should beat the Jets and Saints, that gets us to 5 wins. After that, we have to face a lot of potential play off teams and our divisional opponents. I think we’ll win 1 or 2 of those games to take us to 6 or 7 wins, perhaps 8 wins if we can spring a further surprise.  Is that enough progress for head coach and QB? I’m not sure, it will depend on performances and output. That said, it’s nice to be back in a position where we are thinking about the play offs.

      Eight of Bryce Young's nine wins have come off game-winning drives

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      I would tend to agree about not falling into the trap and paying a below average QB, but sometimes situations can “force” a team to pay that QB. For example, if we play ourselves into a 9-8 like record, then what options will we have in the draft? Or do we avoid the draft and trade for or sign someone in free agency?  I’m not convinced by the 2026 QB draft class. There’s some intriguing prospects but no one that really screams “draft me”. I’m not sure we’ve got anyone really that stands out as a trade candidate or free agent signing. So although we might not want to commit a big money contract to Young, him playing well and showing progress might force the team’s hand.

      Trade Chuba?

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      Realistically we would be looking at no more than a mid round pick for Dowdle or Chuba. Are we really that desperate for a mid round pick? Not really. I would much prefer us utilise the two RBs in a 1-2 punch similar to how we used D-Will and Stewart. After all, Bryce is not Drew Brees. He won’t throw for 300+ yards and carry the team consistently as a passer. So having a strong running game with a 1-2 punch will be beneficial to him, and it will also be beneficial to the RBs because we can spell them and not overwork them.
