Just cause he's in a WCO right now doesn't mean he can't play anything else. And it's really hard to tell what offense we'll be with the new coach.

We may as well move to WCO, that's the only way Clausen MAY succeed.

Can you name a guy that's successfully transitioned from a WCO to a conventional offense?

Agree Clausen would be better in it, but unless we go that route, I wouldn't favor targeting Kolb.

I just have 0 faith in this team developing a QB. Unless we get some proven coach in here that's done it in the past, it's scary to me.

I have zero faith in FOX developing a quarterback. But I wouldn't be opposed bringing in Kolb and another older vet and keeping either Clausen or Pike. Kolb is young enough that he can grow and mature with us and be our QB of the future. I haven't a lot of him but from what I have seen and read he's a pretty good QB.

There is NO chance that John Fox will be the Panthers coach next year. In the last 3 years he has essentially driven this team into the ground. He doesn't have a contract for next year and we are currently 1-7 with little hope for improvement. Whoever the next coach will be will make the call on the QB situation and the draft. All I have to say is that I hope they make a good decision and I'd like to get a fiery offensive guy in here to run this thing rather than a John Fox clone.

Kolb would look as good or worse than Moore has looked, this season, if he were on the Panthers.

The Eagles have a nasty stable of receivers. That, and the system he is in up there in Philly is a gold mine for stat padding. Seriously, if we're going to switch our system around, I'd rather the new HC sticks with Clausen.

So I just read today that the Eagles want Vick to be their QB for next year and beyond. So what happens to Kolb? I've watched some of Kolb and he looks like a good QB to me.

Would it be wise for us to make some kind of move for a QB that is "sort-of" proven, knowing our track record (or lack thereof) of developing QB's? I'm sure he doesn't want to stay there and play second fiddle to Vick.

This could allow us to work on some other needs too.

Kolb=really bad idea

Nope, but it would make sense since we've drafted two WCO-only QB's.
Clausen ran a play-action similar to what we run here in college, and Pike ran the spread. Neither is a true WCO Quarterback. That's not to say they can't be, but accuracy in the short passing game is only part of the skill set required. The WCO relies heavily on timing and receivers running quick, crisp routes.

Clausen doesn't have the deep arm right now, but neither did Moore his rookie year. Give him some time to finish maturing physically, and let the trainers work on him. It won't take long for that arm to emerge.

      2026 Mock Drafts

      By Crixtala · Posted

      all the trades and using PFFs draft rankings and Gemini's analysis: This is a high-value mock draft that effectively uses trade-down strategies to rebuild the Carolina Panthers' defensive interior and add depth to a roster with multiple holes. By turning mid-round capital into a volume of picks, you've secured several "sliding" stars and developmental high-ceiling players. Based on 2026 PFF big board trends and player value, here is the analysis: Draft Grade: A- The Top Picks: Interior Dominance  * 19. Peter Woods (DT, Clemson): Getting Woods at 19 is a steal. Heading into the 2025 season, he was viewed as a potential top-5 talent. While his production dipped slightly, his 4.75 40-yard dash at 315 lbs is elite. He provides the Panthers with a versatile disruptor who can play 3-tech or slide outside.  * 63. Dontay Corleone (DT, Cincinnati): "The Godfather" is one of the best pure nose tackles in the class. Pairing him with Woods creates an immediate identity for the Panthers' front seven. PFF loves his "unmovable" anchor. Securing him at the end of Round 2 after trading down from 51/53 is excellent value. The Mid-Round Steals  * 83. Deontae Lawson (LB, Alabama): Lawson is a high-IQ "green dot" linebacker. Many scouts projected him as a late 1st or early 2nd rounder before an ACL injury in late 2024. Getting a 2-time Alabama captain at 83 to lead the defense is a massive win for culture and stability.  * 130. Drew Allar (QB, Penn State): This is the "high-upside lottery ticket" pick. Allar has prototypical size (6'5", 240 lbs) and a massive arm. His stock fell due to a 2025 ankle injury and inconsistency, but at 130, he’s a low-risk, high-reward backup/successor to Bryce Young if the former No. 1 pick continues to struggle. Trade Analysis & Late Round Value Your strategy of "tier-dropping" (trading 51 for 53/121 and 53 for 63/95) allowed you to stay in the same talent bracket while picking up Kevin Coleman Jr. (WR) and Genesis Smith (S).  * 168. Parker Brailsford (OC, Alabama): Great value for a technical center who can compete for a depth spot.  * 169. Tacario Davis (CB, Washington): At 6'4", he is a rare physical specimen at corner. PFF and other boards often have him as a Day 2 talent; getting him in the 5th round (via the 161 trade) is arguably your best value pick of the draft. Summary of Picks | Pick | Player | Position | School | Analysis | | 19 | Peter Woods | DT | Clemson | Elite traits; Top-10 ceiling. | | 63 | Dontay Corleone | DT | Cincinnati | Best run stuffer in the class. | | 83 | Deontae Lawson | LB | Alabama | Vocal leader; sliding due to injury. | | 121 | Kevin Coleman Jr. | WR | Missouri | Speed threat to complement the room. | | 130 | Drew Allar | QB | Penn State | High-ceiling developmental passer. | | 169 | Tacario Davis | CB | Washington | Massive reach/length for a late flyer. | Final Verdict You addressed the trenches aggressively and took advantage of "injury discounts" on Lawson and Allar. The only minor critique is that the roster still feels thin at Edge (until the 211 pick), but the sheer volume of talent added to the interior DL and Secondary compensates for it.
