Panthers interested in Jason Campbell

Unlike other player positions, it seems to me that there is consistently a high demand in the league at all times for reasonably competent quarterbacks.

In my mind, that means that even though Bulger and Campbell are both competing with each other to land a roster spot, their values will not drop. It seems to me that Carolina is of the mindset this year, that if they just wait long enough, many released free agents will become desperate, and we will be able to pick them up after the draft at a bargain.

This of course gives us all huge anxiety while it appears that our season is destined to fail, but it won't.

My point is this: I think the Carolina FO is right.....as long as we aren't talking about the quarterback position. With regards to Campbell, Bulger, or any other veteran QB, I think the wait-and-see strategy will fail, because the market interest in that position never subsides.

Campbell's value is relative to our current QB situation.

He is probably considered superior in athletic ability, durability, NFL experience, and overall intelligence to Josh McCown. Those are qualifications enough to earn him a roster spot, albeit not to get paid what he was as a starting Redskin. I don't know enough about McCown's charisma or leadership ability to know if that dilutes Campbell's attraction some, but I don't get the feeling that charisma is McCown's forte.

Campbell would probably be worth a 4/5/6 rounder to the Panthers, However, to a lesser team Campbell will be considered worth more than that, and I think we have to consider his value elsewhere.

Remember now, we already have a youngster at the helm. We aren't looking for a rookie to back him up, we are looking for a veteran. None of this draft's QB's are ready to start in the NFL.

Any rookie we'd sign would be an answer in 2011/12. Since our organization hasn't proven to be good at developing QB's, I don't think the Panthers will draft a QB at all, and if I'm right then we are looking at free agents, and possibly signing more than one.

I do agree with you here.

I think we'll re-sign McCown, but I think the fact we haven't yet points to the chance we still might draft a quarterback. I guess we could still have Moore, McCown, a rookie from the draft, and then throw Cantwell on the practice squad.

      A look at the team after the draft and udfa signings...

      By KillerKat · Posted

      My projection. I think at WR its time to go with youth. This means Moore should be the odd man out. Horn can return both punts and kicks and Tremayne is a better WR than Moore. XL gets one more year to prove himself, although I could see a trade in the future which would mean Moore could stay. For OL, I would like us to bring back Brady if we can. The RBs, Trevor can return both punts and kicks too. With the uncertainty of Brooks and Dillon, its hard to choose either one. I think the team would like for Brooks to have a breakout season to clear any uncertainty that he deserves a spot. For now, I have them both even and on the team. DL looks solid as well as OLB. Watch out for the UDFA of Aaron Hall and Isaiah Smith at OLB. They look promising and could knock someone off the team. ILB is still the biggest weakness on the team. We need to upgrade that any means necessary. CB is strong and Im praying to all the Gods that Wheatley beats out Scott at FS.  OFFENSE: WR: Tetairoa McMillan - *Chris Brazzell II* - Brycen Tremayne TE: Tommy Tremble - James Mitchell LT: #Rasheed Walker# - *Monroe Freeling* LG: Damien Lewis C- #Luke Fortner# - *Sam Hecht* RG: Robert Hunt - #Saahdiq Charles# RT: Taylor Moton - #Stone Forsythe# TE: Ja`Tavion Sanders - Mitchell Evans WR: Xavier Legette - Jalen Coker - Jimmy Horn Jr. QB: Bryce Young - #Kenny Pickett# RB: Chuba Hubbard - Trevor Etienne - #AJ Dillon# - Jonathon Brooks DEFENSE: LE: Tershawn Wharton - Bobby Brown III  NT: *Lee Hunter* - Cam Jackson RE: Derrick Brown - LaBryan Ray LOLB: Nic Scourton - Patrick Jones II  LILB: Trevin Wallace - Bam Martin-Scott - *Jackson Kuwatch* RILB: #Devin Lloyd# - Claudin Cherrelus  ROLB: #Jaelen Phillips# - Princely Umanmielen LCB: Jaycee Horn - Akayleb Evans RCB: Mike Jackson - *Will Lee III* - Chau Smith-Wade SS: Tre`von Moehrig - Lathan Ransom FS:  Nick Scott - *Zakee Wheatley* - Demani Richardson  SPECIAL TEAMS: K/KO: Ryan Fitzgerald P/H: Sam Martin KR: Trevor Etienne - Jimmy Horn Jr. PR: Trevor Etienne - Jimmy Horn Jr. LS: J.J.

      So is Legette getting traded?

      By MHS831 · Posted

      His contract is guaranteed.  Legette is just not where he needs to be mentally.  Not fully invested, it seems.

      Literally like Hill. He's not QB1 material (now or ever), but if we can turn him into a H-back and use him like  Swiss army knife, that's his ticket to make the roster.  H-back/emergency QB.  I wonder how good his hands are?  If they are at least above average by NFL standards then we can line him up in the backfield, in the slot, split out wide and of course, in the Wildcat.
