I know he is a little raw. But he has the height and arm strength to make the necessary throws. I think with some time and development he could be (or will be) a starting QB (somewhere). Should we invest resources into seeing what he's got? I'm tired of watching Clausen getting his passes batted down, missing wide open WR's, and ether checking down/throwing the ball away every play.

OR

Do we draft another QB. One that has great arm strength and raw talent but no consistent accuracy? Or one that might have the size, but prefers to run 1st/pass later and also has off the field issues?

Is there a QB in the draft that can be a potential Franchise QB down the road?

I'm so torn by this news of Luck that the #1 Overall pick is going to be a toss up. Who knows who we draft?

Honestly after the wounds of recent heal, I hate to say this, but Pickles could turn out OK for our system. I know he missed some wide open passes, but he was on his back on just about every play. Give him some time in the pocket before we write him off.

Pike, I think he played ok when we seen him. I honestly think he played the best out of all of them this year. What gets me is the one game that he played the 4th quarter or whatever, he moved the ball well. But Fox basically said he sucked and he didn't play him after that.

I'm not sure what plays out, but lets just hang in there with a new coach and see if that helps.

Im totally for signing Palmer or Mcnabb when they get cut and having Pike and Clausen behind either one...Pike is tall, has a hell of an arm...He just wasnt given a chance at all with Fox...

As of right now, neither of those guys are available. Lewis said he is sticking with Palmer, and Shanahan is saying they are going to try to mend the wounds with McNabb.

That's how I feel. I think with some good coaching and a fair shot, that Pike might be able to develop into a good QB. He has all the intangibles, he just needs the reps and game experience to polish them.

      BREAKING!!! Panthers signing Packers LT Rasheed Walker

      Agreed.  Unless a DE is a Julius Peppers type, it takes a couple of years to really develope.  I am hoping we can get one to go with Prince and Scourton.  Or another Interior Dlineman might work as well.

      Great work Dan. This is the first time in a long time heading into day 1 of the draft that I don’t care which way we go.

      BREAKING: Panthers sign QB Kenny Pickett

      By SmokinwithWilly · Posted

      I don't think it's about Bryce's ego. I think it's about Tepper's. Bryce was Tepper's draft pick. Everything that's been done has been to protect the image.  New HC with a shiny contract fired after he loses interest immediately after he supposedly drafted his guy. He can't make an offense for him because he's the QB that fits his style of offense. Bryce's rookie season is one of the worst in history. It was obvious he wasn't ready. He was named starter without any real camp competition. No real preseason reps. Coach keeps playing him despite terrible play.  A new coach and GM are hired on the condition that Bryce is the guy. No searching for a new QB. It's Bryce or else.  Bryce is benched year 2 for multiple games, replaced by Dalton who stunk it up proving he's washed up, then Bryce comes back in after Dalton injures his thumb and finishes the season. Dalton's contract is up, plenty of younger, higher upside FAs available. Dalton is brought back 2 years guaranteed as a "mentor". Jack Plummer, so bad in 24', brought back to camp in 25' and lo and behold, he's still terrible and has no business being on a field.  Other QBs brought in, the most recognizable being Hooker. All those brought in so bad even the PS can't hold them.  And now, after 3 years of bottom tier QB performance, with Dan saying we need to improve our QB room, we bring in a QB that's not passed for over 2500 yards in either of his 2 seasons as a starter, before he's benched and sent to the life of being a backup.  The common denominator in all of this is there's never been any real competition here, even when it was justified. After last year, it's debatable if he's starting QB material. Good moments and horrific moments. From one minute to the next, you don't know what you're gonna get.  So if you ask yourself why some of us feel bringing in KP is a joke, it's because it looks how it's always looked. That everything being done is to prove that David Tepper was right when he made the choice to draft Bryce and everything done since has been to protect that decision. Bringing in another QB with even the potential to challenge Bryce was always out of the question.
