We are not getting a franchise quarterback this year.

There are none available in the draft, in free agency, or via realistic trade. None :nonod:

Next year? Maybe. This year? No. The best thing we can do this year is find a reasonable stopgap. For me, that's Volek via free agency. I have no interest in reaching in the draft, taking a shot at a guy we hope might be a franchise guy (already did that last year) or giving up the kind of significant value it'd take to trade for a guy that could fit that role.

This is one problem for which there just isn't any solution available this season, so we are just going to have to be patient.

(yes, I know ahat I'm asking) :sosp:

:lol:, asking the Huddle to be patient...

I don't know why, but I have this weird feeling that Carolina takes a QB with that first pick....

Who should they take.... Got me.... there really isn't a player in this draft worthy of a #1 selection, its kinda meh....

Myself, I don't like any of the FA options that are supposed to be available. Not really sold on anyone in the draft, but I'll wait and see how the players do at the combine and so forth.

It's actually looking like Clausen might be the best bet for next season. @_@

Whoever it is, they need to make an impact.

I would go with Moore Clausen and Pike then. Dont need a VET FA, we have Moore, who has already stated that he wants to stay here. QB Coach and OC are going to be very important hires. Lets see what they come up with.

A veteran presence is typically someone who can pass on good habits to the younger players.

Will Moore be passing on good habits?

:toetap05:

We're going to go out and get a veteran this offseason, but it's like I've been saying, there just isn't "that guy" to go out and get this year.

This is why I've been on the Green bandwagon.

Because if you can't get a great QB, you've got to put what you can around him to make him better.

At this point I'd rather us just stack the defense. Rivera is a defensive guy so why not stick to what you're good at? Even if we did draft a franchise QB our offense is still going to be mediocre at best. This D is a few pieces away from being elite. Make it so.

Mr. Scot, my man, you wouldn't be hinting that Clausen will be our franchise QB in 2012, are you...in your old Scottie type of way? Or, perhaps you're saying that Clausen sucks...I'm just messin' with you:D.

      New Huddle FAQ

      By Zod · Posted

      Hello there.  We are rolling out a complete overhaul of the Huddle. Why: Frankly this site is so old the database and antiquated software has gotten unmanageable. There is not much we can do to fix anything anymore. The new site is wired for the future including getting back in the app stores.    When:  Hopefully by early July so that we can test and recover things. After the migrations we will still have access to the old site behind the scenes to bring over anything we missed.    Wait, will I lose anything?  We are only bringing over topics and posts from the past calendar year. The tinderbox is being set on fire and rolled off a cliff. All it ever did was made this place feel horrible all while changing approximately 0 minds in 20 years.  The new site will only have 4 forums to keep this joint Carolina team sports focused. Panthers, Hornets, Charlotte FC, Hurricanes.    Improved Moderation  This is a clean slate for us, as such if you are a problematic member (you know who you are) that enjoys getting banned and coming back, we aim to make it much more difficult for you. However, upon the move your slate is clean. Take advantage of it.  We would love to get this place back to what it used to be. Nice folks with friendly banter centered around Carolina sports. We will be using the BAN HAMMER liberally to rid this place of people who aren't interested in that or try to drag the new site back into the gutter.   New Features With new tech comes new features we will be rolling out over the rest of the year.    What about the damn ads?  Fewer and less problematic ads. Again, new tech allows for this. Without ads this place gets shut down.    What if I can't login?  If you can't login due to not being able to reset your password from the login screen, email [email protected] with your username and we will get you squared away.    Let me know if you have any specific questions.
