This thread might be the death of me but hear me out on this before shooting down the idea...

As most are aware on this forum, the main topic and focus has been on the potential search for the next head coach for Carolina.

While there may be a new head coach roaming the hallways of BOA Stadium next season (if there is a season), there will be questions as to what players will come and go in Carolina.

There has been some speculation amongst the fans (merely ideas) that we could ship Clausen to a WCO team since (as Mr. Scot has alluded to) he seems to fit better in that scheme.

I personally would like to see what Clausen can do under a new regime and see how the new head coach ultilizes him and whether he can fix the rookie's biggest problem, confidence.

Meanwhile, in Philly, the Eagles are having no issues with their QB situation, except they have two talented QBs that neither one wants to be "second string." Seeing the situation going on in Philly and what is happening here in Carolina., I am sure the new head coach would like to bring in someone to compete with Clausen... Why not Kolb?

I know everyone is high on Luck but why bring in another unproven rookie QB when there is a guy sitting on the bench in Philly eager to start again?

Essentially the problem is that we don't know what Philly will do with Kolb but based on his performance in the limited time he has played, they can certainly get some trade value for him which wouldn't suit well with Carolina.

Could we possibly trade our #1 pick for a later #1 pick and still manage to get Kolb and yet get someone of need later in the 1st?

Food for thought

To me Kolb is still unproven.

agreed with this which helps this next comment put the whole matter to rest, imo.

The Eagles want two first for him.

If any of you can get past that statement, good luck with the thread.

yeah....i'd rather roll with luck.

in defense of the OP, it's a reasonable assumption that kolb, if brought in, would be brought in by a new head coach and staff... which, conceivably, could be of the WCO minset.

Possible. I personally hope not. I'm not that big a fan of the WCO.

What always makes me shake my head is when people look at a WCO quarterback and think his stats project just as well to a conventional offense.

People used to call for us to go after Jeff Garcia on an annual basis, not remembering that every time he was taken out of that system, he stunk.

Marty Mornhinweg was one of the dumbest head coaches in the history of the NFL. The fact that he's not messing up while coordinating one of the most talented receiving corps in the NFL with former 1st overall pick throwing to them, does not override that.

Hey, maybe he'd do okay...as long as none of our games went to overtime :sosp:

      Robert Hunt Practice Window Activated

      By MHS831 · Posted

      It is a tough decision.  There is another factor.  Is he in game shape?  A tired Hunt is not better than an "in-shape" Corbett.  When coming off an injury, it is natural to want to protect the injured area, even if it is completely healed.  This can cause you to contort your body for no reason, lose fundamentals, and it could lead to other injuries.  For example, I had a knee in high school that required getting taped.  That made me aware of the knee (not used to tape on my knee) and I pulled my groin (favoring or dragging the leg with the tape).  The trainer explained the groin injury the way I do here--but scared money makes no money.  If he is cleared to play, he is cleared to play.  Watch him, rotate him in for a series, etc.  Specifically, I would want to watch the matchup--who is winning more--Corbett or Hunt?  How is the defense reacting (if at all) to Hunt being in?  Etc.

      Chad ‘Ochstradamus’ Johnson and Shannon Sharpe on Panthers

      By MHS831 · Posted

      Shannon was sued for $50 million (settled out of court, I believe) for forcing sex on his girlfriend during a two-year relationship.  He denies it, but ESPN let him go last April.  Chad Johnson's wife filed a police report because he head-butted her in a car and was put on probation. I had to google it.  I watched the Ray Rice video and when you see it, you realize just how vile and cowardly abusing a woman really is.  But for the same point Aussie tried to make, these women are defenseless, and being phyiscally bigger and stronger does not validate your actions.   I can't even stand to watch Steve Smith.  I can't normalize this kind of behavior--again, I do not think R-P had that in mind when he posted this.  When the reason was exposed, we should realize that we are talking life (quality of) and death (in some cases) here.

      I can respect the fact that we should not glorify or normalize men who have a history of beating women.  I do not think anyone was thinking of that when they posted this, but if head-butting your wife and unconsensual sex (rape) is something you cannot overlook, I agree with that.  I think they are both half-crazed attention hounds regardless of their pasts.
