Drafting QBs: A Carolina Panthers Primer

[Anybodyhome]

Can anyone here name every QB the Panthers drafted since joining the NFL without looking?

While you try to think of them, I'll save you the time:

Kerry Collins, Colquitt, Weinke, Fasani, LeFors, Pike, Clausen, Newton, Grier, Corral.

10 drafted QBs, 1 good one. Maybe 2 if you count the first couple years of Kerry Collins stint in Charlotte. And I guess the jury is still out on Corral, so the team has a roughtly 10% success rate at drafting QBs, far worse when they've drafted from a position of desperation. And, here's another thing- it's not like any of these guys were even average or serviceable- they were fugging terrible.

And yet, here we are, continuing to pin hopes and pipe dreams on another drafted QB to lead the Panthers to the promised land. Why waste the time and money? Take all the guess work out of it and just go get Derek Carr for a 2-year deal and see if Corral develops in the meantime.

Whoever was drafted by different regimes in Carolina has absolutely nothing to do with whether we should draft one now or who Fitterer might pick without Rhule's influence.
