What do u think on Fox not wanting to draft a first round qb?

Next year should be a good year for QB's, so I could see them going with a QB in the first round next year, assuming they aren't high on Moore or McCown that is.

This year I believe we just have too many needs ahead of QB (such as D-line) to take one in the first round this year.

I really don't think this team will ever try and develop a young QB -- it isn't FOx's style. He likes the veterans. He doesn't have patients for young QBs because he really wants a QB who is SMART with the football first and foremost and young QBs have a tendency to jump the gun. The problem that Fox has, is that our defense isn't good enough for a clock management offense. Our secondary is to pathetic for that sort of setup.

Wait wait wait.........

If what I highlighted in bold was true, he wouldn't be starting Jake....

Your saying Jake is smart with the football?

I don't think Fox has ANY CLUE what he likes in a QB, nor does he have the skill(or patience) to groom one up.

    • I've shown you numerous comps for other tackles in the same age and talent range.  His contract, taking into account his age, health, etc.  is the going rate.  It's a fair deal. I've shown you examples of how long it usually takes to find even an average replacement.  Hell, look at every tackle that has ever started for the Panthers.  How many would you consider a success?  They are not easy to find. After everything we've done with this team since drafting Bryce why would we decide to let our best linemen go and add a huge question mark at tackle?   FA is a crapshoot in which any guy available will have cons/issues.  If not, they'll cost a fortune.   Outside of a first or maybe 2nd round pic next year it'll take a few years for a tackle to learn the position at the NFL level.  There are still questions about Icky. Every vet NFL player deals with maintenance.  Between the contract value and history I'm not overly worried about his knee.  I contend his knee issue isn't anything to be overly worried about.  It's not zero risk but it's an acceptable risk.  Every player we draft and every contract we sign has risk.  You're blowing up his own negative words about his knees and ignoring him saying he is healthy and the knee is a non issue.  You have a strong chicken little complex with this team.  Being he has always been a Panther they are very aware of any health issues. We paid now because now is cheaper.  If his knee was really an issue they would have waited.  That tells me it's not the issue you want it to be.
