Go for Carr hard and save #9 pick?

[Jmac]

Guy has been to the pro-bowl four times so he has talent. Would you go after him and steal him from the Saints (possibly) and use #9 for a position of need? Would that be the better way to go at this time? I believe he was released out right today.

I think we're going to look into it as I'm pretty sure they realize that #9 might be too low to get the QB they might want in the draft and to trade up will prove very costly.

The Panthers are going to have to bring in a vet regardless. Get Carr and draft a QB. You never know who is going to fall in the draft. We can draft BPA in the first whoever that may be be.

I am so split over Carr.  I think he's a good QB, but he's only got maybe 3-4 years left.  And at what cost?

Carr = Cousins

What's the point big picture of going down that road.

I'm fine either way. i see pros and cons to all of it, but ultimately i trust the coaches. feels weird.

Same.

I think the most popular route among those who do want Carr is to sign him but still take a QB at #9 (or higher)

No vets. No bridges. DRAFT A QB!

i'm not nuts about that idea, tbh. i'd rather use day 1 and 2 picks for weapons on offense if we are getting carr.

That's reasonable.

I don’t see anything wrong with getting carr draft Richardson and let him sit for a year or two and if carr gets hurt we are covered and no draft picks given up

I think the biggest cheerleader to sign Carr is probably Coral. 

If we draft a QB then Corals career is virtually done as he will never get an opportunity. Carr allows him to be the developmental QB.

Yeah, I think Carr is young enough and you're going to have to commit enough to him contract wise that if you sign him you need to go all in on putting the best team around him that you can. I like the WR depth in this class but I don't see any elite prospects. Go Mayer at #9 then best WR in round 2.
