I think it's a really lousy year to need a quarterback, given what the draft and free agent pools look like :(

My choices for camp this year would be Clausen, Pike, Matt Moore and Billy Volek. Keep the best three going into the season unless someone better gets cut from another squad.

You never know. A new offensive staff might be able to make something half-decent out of guys we already have (for a year, anyway).

I have a hard time getting on board with bringing Moore back into the fold. It's not like he knows the system we'll be running. He has a very questionable throwing shoulder now, post injury. Granted he looked good compared to our other options, but look at what we have on the team to compare him too. All other things aside, the shoulder make it a risky signing IMO.

There's not really a huge risk involved being the fourth guy in training camp.

I wouldn't mind seeing the Panthers get Gradkowski. He is better than Volek in my opinion.

McNabb is washed up and wouldn't fit here anyway being a WCO guy.

I like him....very un-sexy but solid. He isn't an option as a long term starter, but a smart, wont get us beat backup is gonna be a need when we do find our young franchise QB.

um.....no. Volek is however decent. Isnt he one of the few guys who passed for over 400 yards in back to back games? I will take him any day over captain unibrow

"His longest streak of starts came in 2004 for the injured Steve McNair in which Volek started eight games for the Titans. Over this eight game stretch he completed 61.1% of his passes, threw for 2,486 yards, 18 TD, 10 INT and finished with a QB rating of 87.1. This was also the season where Volek joined an exclusive club of QBs who have thrown for over 400 yards in back-to-back games, passing for 426 and 492 yards against Kansas City and Oakland.

Lets face it we do not have alot of options at qb coupled with the fact Hurney is not going to declare his pick Clausen a bust yet.I feel they will keep Clausen,Pike and maybe Moore and then add a veteran like Volek to the mix.Pike may go to the PS or get cut.

    • Hello, soccer fans [crickets, tumbleweed flies by]. The World Cup kicks off in less than 2 weeks and, well, 🇺🇸USA USA USA🇺🇸 and all. We beat Senegal 3-2 yesterday in a tune-up friendly at BoA, with Christian Pulisic finally entering the scoring column.  How will we do in the World Cup once our tournament kicks off on the 12th? Well, there are 48 teams (assuming Iran is there) and it feels like one of two thing happens: we get grouped for the first time since '98, or we make it to the Round of 16 for the third time in the last four World Cups. I tried out the lottery for an Atlanta game and struck out, so yesterday was as World Cup as I'll get for in-person ($285/ticket for like Norway vs $39/ticket for USMNT right beforehand was a layup).  The U.S. has a travel-heavy schedule in group play, playing in LA, Seattle and LA. Real road warrior mentality being built. Glad the east coast gets worse kickoff times for a NA World Cup than a Qatar World Cup.
    • Well, that's the thing. Drafting players only for their physical measurables as you are suggesting only really happened during 2024, and X unfortunately has become the poster child for that. To be clear, it's not necessarily about drafting RAS over skill, but RAS over NFL-readiness and/or a solid body of work. Lots of players show skill in college, but those skills don't necessarily translate to the NFL for a multitude of reasons. But, getting back to the main point, to be clear, I believe that our FO is still enamored with physical gifts (who wouldn't be?), but now they're letting Dr. Eric Eager's proprietary system--his "secret sauce" prioritize the players that the Panthers draft, and it seems like it weighs not only a solid body of work, relative to a college career of course, but consistent gradual improvement as evidenced by production pretty highly. 
    • Its a good article about how pathetically bad our past drafts ('23 and '24) have been. Building the team in '23 since we weren't ready yet and taking your qb in '24 made so much more sense in hindsight. Ladd McConkey over XL is pretty much a given but not sure it does as much to change Bryce's trajectory as the author suggests.  As bad as '23 and '24 drafts were, the '25 and '26 really give me hope.
