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

http://espn.go.com/blog/nfcsouth/post/_/id/8280/nfc-south-mailbag-2

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.

      Draft Week Rumors, Leaks and Media Draftniks Final Mocks

      Hard to interpret some of Brugler's opinions. Capable of running a robust route tree sounds like a lazy thing to say - I'm sure just about every slot TE is capable of running a full route tree... I want to know if he is currently able to (which from tape leads me to a no). Granted, it's pretty common for most receivers/TE not having a full route tree developed before they get drafted. Agility/acceleration after the catch hasn't shown up on his tape (at least his Oregon tape) for those dig/out breaking routes while it has for the seam and slant routes. Agree he has a good physical build and he is very good running seam routes. His build definitely helps him to shield defenders and create a large target point for the QB. Drops were a concern, but it could be focus drops just like T-Mac was/is prone to. Run blocking is an accurate statement, but again, we have only seen him run block in the slot/backfield - inline blocking is a whole different animal. With his athleticism, he definitely has a high ceiling. I just think he also has a low floor and don't like taking that big of a risk on a mid 1st rounder. I think this is a deep TE draft and would much rather target one in the 3rd or later. He's very boom or bust to me - bust in terms of being worth a 1st round pick, not an out of the NFL in a few years type bust. I feel like he gives me Evan Engram vibes. Not saying that Evan Engram was/is a bad NFL player, just that most people would agree he shouldn't have been drafted in the 1st.

      I mean I would love 6-1. It’s funny the hurricanes usually dominate the first game and win by three or four goals. But keep the second game close. It would be nice if it’s the reverse of that tonight.

      Brugler has him as TE1 and going to the Ravens in the first.  Apparently Sadiq's football IQ is pretty high (interviewed very well).  Also he was an WR and CB in high school.  This is why I always thought his route running was solid.  I'm sure it needs some polishing but for a TE it's pretty good. nfl.com Built like a bodyguard with a compact, well-defined frame. Capable of running a robust route tree. Gets in and out of breaks with good snap and separation. Vandalizes defensive seams with impunity against man coverage. Survives collisions with catches thanks to his hand strength. Shows off agility and acceleration after the catch. Fits up run blocks with proper positioning and base width. Grips and presses forward with moving feet to stay connected. -Again I don't know if we should take him but if he goes to the right team he could become a scary weapon at the next level.  I just like him as a prospect.
