People love taking on other teams QB's thinking they will make a difference for us.smh

 

I see everybody claiming Carr is elite, but nobody can tell me why the Raiders cut bait with such an elite QB...

The same reason the Broncos cut bait with Cutler.

There aren't 32 people currently walking the planet that can play QB in the NFL to a competent level. This whole 'retread' narrative is ridiculous. Carr is a proven commodity.

He's thrown for 35k yards in his career with a 2-1 TD-INT ratio (with over 200TDs).

So yeah, he's proven he's a pretty damn good NFL QB. 

Who has won nothing and put up meaningless stats..

At this point he’s Kurt Cousin lite and wants Cousin money.. 

But you’re right he’s proven in 8 years he has a ceiling and that ceiling needs a lot of help that his contract demands won’t help you get..

I can’t understand ppl fascination with quick fixes to mediocre?? Smh

While I guess things could change I have gotten zero sense that the Panthers are planning on seriously pursuing Carr or any other high priced vet QB. If anything they might kick the tires and do some due diligence but that’s the extent  

The plan since Reich’s hiring and all the staff brought in since have been about drafting and developing their own franchise quarterback. I don’t know where others are “hearing” things but at this point it’s much more likely to trade up in the draft than sign or trade for a current signal caller. 

Drafting a franchise QB is usually the way to go (easier said than done), but for those teams who only lack a few pieces of the puzzle, bringing in a hired gun has proven to be a successful strategy (See the Rams and Bucs).

I don't believe the Panthers are just a few pieces away from competing, so if Reich and Company believe in one of these QBs in the draft they've got my support.  On the other hand, if they choose to bring in one of the better vets to make the Panthers immediate playoff contenders, I'm good with that as well.

Afterall, I'm just a spectator.  No matter which way the Panthers decide to go, it isn't going to change my life in any meaningful way.

Pretty much.

How about reasonably priced vets like Brissett or Minshew who have experience in Indy/Philly systems?

Bringing in not 1 but 3 QB whispers (Reich, Caldwell, and Mccown).. Why does a vet QB need this many QB guys on staff?? A rookie does..

Well some younger vet QBs could still stand development, and some obviously made some jumps the last couple of years. 

I know that many of you just don't believe in Matt Corral, but I'd say that he will be on their things-to-do-list as well as anyone.

I know Carr is better then the likes of Mayfield and Darnold but I find it really hard to believe the coaching staff and F.O. are gonna go after a veteran QB again when that's what got Reich fired in Indy and is the same thing we've been dealing with. Just seems like it would be a tough sell to the fanbase especially considering Carr isn't gonna come cheap.

It’s believe it’s more due to a fear of not getting one in April.

      Yeah, Bryce has to put that a little deeper. But XL can't allow the pick there. Gotta become the DB when you're undercut like that.

      Micah officially requests a trade

      By TD alt · Posted

      You see, I just don't subscribe to a cookie cutter type of philosophy when it comes to trades or team building. Every situation is different. Many may disagree, but I think that FOs that can't draft impact-players beyond the first round aren't really viable.  Just for argument's sake, because we all know this hypothetical trade is as realistic as the moon being made of cheese, Micah is a young dawg really just beginning his prime and is arguably the most valuable pass rusher in the league. He could realistically play at a high level for at least the next five to seven years. Parsons' current trajectory is Canton. That being said, he's not some old merc that fits the mold of "one piece away," he's a core piece to any defense for the better part of the next 10 years. Pass rushers of his caliber and age don't generally become available, so, sure, he'd help an elite team, but he's also a fit for a younger team that's building. I know that you don't agree, but it's all good. I respect your rationale.

      Micah officially requests a trade

      Here's my not important take on this subject.  Who wouldn't want a pass rusher of his consistency?  I would absolutely love to have him on this defense.   Would I give up Brown in a trade for him.  Nope, I would never do that.  Interior linemen are way to important to be settling for whatever you can get at the position.   Would I trade 2 firsts,  plus fork out a big contract for him?   Without knowing if Young is for sure going to be our long term, franchise guy,  there is no way I'd be okay with letting go 2 firsts. As for the contract that he'd demand, I just dont get caught up with NFL contracts.  They have been out of control for decades.  So I really dont get upset over big contracts. It's just a fact of life in the NFL.  You HAVE to pay for talent.
