Now boarding the Tony Pike Bandwagon...

I guess you have to be tough when you stay hurt all the time.

The first order of business for this guy is to put some meat on his bones, then he has to re-learn how to play QB, because lining up under center and adjusting to what the defense is doing (without looking to the sidelines for help) pre snap is all brand new to every one of these spread QB's. Basically, we probably won't know what Pike can do until about two years down the road.

Lol just in time for a contact year

:out: People still forgetting whose is starting QB now in Carolina. It sure is hell not pike are clasun. Moore is going to be the QB for Carolina for years to come. Some people keep thinking Moore is not able to win games for us. It seems to me in the 8 games he played for us. He won 6 of 8 them. If that doesn't prove that he can do it. Then who can. Moore is the starter for the whole entire season. Unless he suddenly turns in old man Jake Delhomme and start throwing tons of ints to the other team. I support Matt Moore 100% until he proves he can no longer can win for us. So Pike and Clasun can fight for the 2nd string postion.

Well if everybody that is on the clausen bandwagon quotes me all the time I'll just apoligize now, didn't mean to upset the wagon

It really isn't a big deal. It's just the fact the Pike didn't play in a Pro-style offense like Clausen did. Jimmy Clausen played in a very similar style of offense that the Panthers use. So he will adapt quicker and has more strength/ability than Pike. Not to say that Pike wont' be great, in a few seasons he will be a starting NFL QB. But for right now in Carolina he is just a project.

    • 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. . 
    • 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
