I think it would be smart to bring in someone young like Troy Smith or Brady quinn and someone old like Jeff Garcia or Vinny Testaverde. It diffidently would be smart for us to have 2 backups instead of 1 and not to waste a draft pick on a QB. What do you guys think?

That article's been around the block already.

Troy Smith wants to start, and could make a case that he should for wherever he ends up. Not a good option if all you're looking for is a backup (and that is all we're looking for).

Brady Quinn's already been traded to the Broincos. The team that just acquired him is not going to trade him again.

Garcia and Testaverde are both older than dirt. Plus as has been discussed numerous times, Garcia is only good in a West Coast Offense (which the Panthers do not and will not run).

The best option right now is still Josh McCown. I suspect he still will be later in the offseason as well, but the Panthers are waiting to see.

I have a feeling it might be Marc Bulger. The Rams signed AJ Feeley from us, they are likely going to draft Bradford #1, and Bulger looks to be the odd man out. He was pretty good back a few years but seemed to lose confidence as the weapons around him aged and left the team. Wouldn't be a horrible choice for a backup. We could do worse!

Bulger's contract is crazy. He signed a 6year deal in 2007 for something redonkelous like 65 mill. If he was paid like a backup he would be fine. I don't see a lot of vets that i would want on my team. The best thing we can do i feel is draft a backup. I see nothing wrong with a group of young QB's. This mentoring crap is overrated. The OP says something about not having to waste a pick then mentions Quinn and Smith both players that have been tendered and would cost a draft pick to acquire. THEN mentions two QB's in their 40's. Give it up we need a young guy behind Moore. Let's draft him.

If we would go the Bulger route, I seriously doubt we would trade for him. Rather, we would probably just wait for him to be released and try to sign him as a FA, so his current contract would have no impact on the Panthers.

      Adam Schefter: Panthers getting trade calls for Andy Dalton

      By strato · Posted

      To kick this up, The Athletic has a really comprehensive piece out where pretty much all QB questions are addressed. It is worth seeing.  https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/7083539/2026/03/04/starting-quarterback-projections-free-agency-draft/?source=user_shared_article I’m putting something specific here but it should have a thread or something. It is an extensive exercise.  This is a dense write up with a lot of column inches used, about the Jets and Murray and Reich, all this stuff.. then it goes to backup QB and there is Dalton.  I am pasting that part: As for Dalton, Reich is installing the offense he was trying to run in Carolina in 2023 before he got fired, and Dalton was with the Panthers then; he’s an ideal option as a veteran backup to replace Taylor. Reich said this about Dalton in 2023: “The way he's throwing the football, the way he works through progressions, the way he handles the operation. … Since day one (when) he walked in the door, I'm like, 'This guy is starter-worthy.' You guys know I've said that all along. He's, in my opinion, one of the best 32 quarterbacks in the world.” ——— That’s true love lol. I never heard any of this. Pretty crazy I think, considering how the year went.   Anyway the dream is not dead. .

      I’VE FOUND OUR WR3 (Rashid Shaheed)

      By Car123 · Posted

      The Seahawks traded for wide receiver/returner Rashid Shaheed at the trade deadline. He proved to be a key acquisition. Shaheed returned a punt and a kickoff for touchdowns in the regular season and had a 95-yard kickoff return in the postseason. Shaheed, though, is scheduled for free agency. So, the 12 games he played, including the postseason, might be the extent of his time in Seattle. Adam Schefter of ESPN reports that Shaheed and the Seahawks are not close to an extension, and the expectation is that the two-time Pro Bowler will hit free agency. Shaheed has 153 receptions for 2,243 yards and 12 touchdowns in his four-year career to go along with three punt return touchdowns and a kickoff return touchdown. He ranks 13th on PFT’s top-100 free agents. https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/report-rashid-shaheed-appears-headed-to-free-agency
