No quarterbacks in the draft

Not this year anyway. Having thought it over, I just can't get behind it.

I've previously been willing to accept the notion of a guy in the later rounds (no one interests me in the first or second, for sure) but for now, even that is off the table for me.

Why?

Youth.

We've already got two young quarterbacks in the mix from last year's draft. What's the real point of throwing yet another youngster in if he's not a franchise caliber guy (and with Luck staying in school, none of those are available) :nonod:

I'd much rather pick up a vet like Billy Volek, re-sign Matt Moore and give him a shot in camp, and go from there.

If it doesn't work out, maybe you can engineer a shot at another franchise quality QB in the draft or free agency. But for this year, there was only one franchise QB in the draft, and he's not coming. The free agent class may not be great, but at least it offers a little balance in the age department.

Sorry fans of Newton, Gabbert, Locker, Mallett, Taylor and anyone else. I just can't get behind it.

pretty much what I've said. Nobody this draft is polished enough to be worth it. They are all projects. Some have more upside, some look damn fine and many have very good chances of being great QBs down the line but we already have a QB analysts thought could be a great QB down the line and is a project... so meh

That's what I been saying for months. We got a rookie qb throwing to rookie wr and you want to go out and get another rookie qb and expect us to be better next year. Really?

Get someone who has played for a while and can actually read a defense and understand what he sees on the field and audible into a good play every now and then. Even if Luck would have come out we still need to get a qb with some experience for next year (if there is a next year).

I'd also add there's no one I want to see us trade for, either (no one we could realistically get, anyway, unless Denver comes way down on Kyle Orton's asking price).

Right now my vote is for Billy Volek. He's likely the best stopgap available.

and Rex Grossman :D would make for some entertaining games at least.

Who is on the roster or potentially obtainable that would be better?

It depends how good you think McNabb is. I loved him in Philly and thought he was a top 5 QB. Out of that system, he doesn't cut it. He's old and when he talks he doesn't sound like he wants to mentor anyone. Can you imagine the poo storm if he actually got benched for Clausen?

Currently his talents aren't worth his cost and potential headache. Plus I doubt he comes to a 2-14 team at the end of his career.

      Another Win

      Dennis Rodman’s son lands Summer League shot with the Hornets   The Charlotte Hornets are coming off a promising 2025 NBA Draft class and will enter Summer League with no shortage of new faces looking to make an impression. But the most interesting addition didn’t come from the draft board. Instead, it’s DJ Rodman — the 24-year-old son of Hall of Famer and five-time NBA champion Dennis Rodman — who’s bringing some extra attention to the Hornets’ Summer League roster. Rodman played four years at Washington State before making the move to USC for his final season.  He wasn’t exactly lighting it up with the Trojans, putting up about 6 points, four boards, and an assist each game. But he did shoot well — hitting around 41% from the field and draining 36% of his three-pointers.  Standing 6-foot-6, he’s got the size to play on the wing and offers some versatility, which could be just what the Hornets are looking for as they try to fill out their roster. The Hornets’ Summer League squad already has plenty of fresh faces with this year’s draft picks and young guys fighting for a role. But Rodman’s last name alone is enough to turn heads, and now he’ll get his shot to prove he belongs once the games tip off in Vegas. Charlotte’s Summer League team is already drawing interest with recent draft picks and young players hoping to crack the rotation. But Rodman’s last name — and his potential to bring energy and toughness — adds another layer of intrigue. What Rodman lacks in college stats, he makes up for with hustle and competitiveness — traits his dad was known for throughout his Hall of Fame career. If he can bring that same energy and show growth in Summer League, he could carve out a role and surprise some people. Though the odds are against him making the Hornets’ final roster, there’s no denying the spotlight that comes with the Rodman name. The Hornets kick off Summer League next week in Las Vegas.   Dennis Rodman’s son lands Summer League shot with the Hornets

      Question to the posters on this thread because you are knowledgeable--I love watching and pull for the Canes, but I never played so I don't have the understanding I had when I played football then watched it.  Having said that, Do you think we are weak at Center?  I see the team to be pretty strong on the wings, promising defense, and weak at Goalie.  It would be ideal if the Canes had 1 more position to upgrade, not 2.  I don't think you can count on Anderson to play a full season and he is 35.  However, are we solid at Center in your view?
