Flying South?

Espn... I mean Pat Yasinskas has an article about Donavan Mcnabb possibly coming to Carolina.

Thoughts?

Personally I would love to see Mcnabb, Moore, and Delhomme battle it out for the starting position.

A real QB competition? could be fun to watch.

It's hardly what I'd call "an article about Donavan Mcnabb possibly coming to Carolina."

It's an answer to a mailbag question from a fan, and Yasinskas' take is that while he'd be in favor of it personally, there's little to no chance of it happening.

Pat Yasinskas: Despite all the rumors about McNabb, I’m not sure the Eagles will really part ways with him. The guy’s had an incredible career, far better than a lot of Philadelphia fans give him credit for. If the Panthers tag Peppers and the Eagles made McNabb available in a trade, I think that’s something the Panthers would have to consider. But it’s sounding more and more like the Panthers just might let Peppers walk. If that happens, I don’t know that will instantly free up $20 million. I think the Panthers, like a lot of teams, are going to be conservative this year because of the labor situation. Still, somehow, I’d like to see them get a quality quarterback. I think Matt Moore is an option, but he certainly isn’t a sure thing. John Fox needs a sure thing at quarterback.

I wonder who played better in the last 5 games of the season...McNabb or Moore?

Just kidding, I don't actually wonder that because I already know the answer.

Absolutely no reason to spend what it would take to get McNabb when Moore is everything we need in a QB. Pick up a proven back-up like Tyler Thigpen and/or draft a promising rookie QB in the middle rounds for development. Moore starts and Delhomme hangs around another year in case Moore gets hurt/flops.

LOL, kinda what I was thinking.

They made it seem like that when the article on the main nfl page of espn has a big picture of Mcnabb and the description. Flying South?Is Donovan McNabb a possibility for Carolina, which lacks a sure thing at QB? Maybe, but a lot has to happen before the Panthers would consider such a move.

    • I've been hearing all about this "winning culture" for years while watching us piss away top shelf draft position with meaningless late season wins when we're already eliminated from the playoffs but being assured this is building "winning culture" just to inevitably suck again next year. With that said, I'll always take a playoff berth. Just make the dance and you have a chance to make some noise. But spare me the "winning culture" bullshit.
    • Winning culture trumps ALL.    Here’s my way to long take:  Last season this team started out breaking the sports books and being the lead pipe lock of the week. They finished by being a tough out for both SB teams.  I don’t think they’ll pick up right where they left off, but for the first time in years they’re on the legitimate upswing. Honest to God NFL talent has been infused.  Offense is already going to be good for 2-3 more 3rd down conversions (I don’t think anyone will argue that) a game over last year so I’ll go (very optimistically) 5-6 more points better than last year’s team. ADDED: A legit backup RB and a money WR who catches everything, along with 2 promising rooks. No significant losses (sorry Miles). KEYS: Can Dave bob and weave play calling if things aren’t working? Does protection continue to hold for Bryce. Did this team pick up dudes who know how to find the end zone or will the struggle of 3rd and goal continue.  Defense. If they can force even 2 (hopefully 3) more stops a game on third down (not asking a lot, hopefully more), that’s good for -4 (optimistic) points for opposing teams.  ADDED: legit run stuffers. Legit (appearing) edge guys. LOST: Clowney. Question: With legit 3-4 talent can Evero finally show what we have been VERY patiently waiting on? To me, EVERYTHING on defense hinges on Evero. Everything. Every position group was upgraded (still not good enough, but certainly improved).  Losing Brown early and Luvu… completely and utterly devastated the run defense. Luvu put up one of the best seasons at LB this team has ever seen. His under appreciation by some fans was criminal. He alone was our 3 down stop machine. Brown was pretty much it up front. Those 2 held RBs in check long enough for safety help to arrive.  Coaching: Halftime adjustments and no prevent defense. In a nutshell, that’s pretty much it. No cutesy offense to show off WRs/Bryce when it’s not working. Use your sledgehammers, Dave.  There is finally veteran leadership and legit NFL talent. It’s going in the right direction (I couldn’t have been more wrong last offseason) to build a winning culture, but teams have to learn how to win, especially the games where nothing is going right (this team has NEVER been able to do that). They will still lose more close games than they win, and that alone is where it all hinges.     
    • With his current level of play I'm quite content to not activate his 5th year option and let him walk away for free after year 4.
