For those wanting a new QB

Gantt is probably right, the FO will not shake up the QB roster next season. I just want a draft pick for competition.

Anyone who has followed Fox and Hurney and their QB philosophies over the past seven years knows that Gantt is just being logical here.

Basenez's is an emergency 3rd QB at best IMO. If (big if) we finally have a QB coach that teaches fundamentals and can develop QBs, then finding some competition that has the raw talent to start is finally an option. Good competition instead of just another arm to run plays would make all our QBs better. Having an excess of talent at this position would cause this fanbase to meltdown when we have to release one of them though. Heaven forbid we let somebody go that was successful elsewhere in the process of finding the right guy for us.

Gantt is an idiot.

How did you come up with this conclusion based on his article?

Gantt is exactly right. If you really believe ANY QB will be on the roster other than Delhomme, McCown, and Moore (not just Delhomme, but all 3 won't change), then I have a huge bridge to sell you in Brooklyn. If you're interested, please PM me... I have the paper work all ready to go.

Guys, no offense, but what part of that article suggests to you that the Panthers have even the slightest interest in "competition"?

Basanez said the Panthers offered him a contract before he chose the clean slate offered by his hometown Bears. From the Panthers perspective, that would have brought back the top four spots on the depth chart from last season. If they were serious about bringing in a challenger for the top job, would they have bothered clogging up the works by trying to bring last year's practice-squadder back?

Delhomme, Josh McCown and Matt Moore are all under contract through 2009. And personally, I think it's more likely Delhomme gets an extension this offseason than shown the door.

We'll see, but all those folks wondering about Matt Cassell or Derek Anderson or whatever "next best thing," they see in the draft shouldn't hold their breath.

The only potential competition I see in camp this year is if they let McCown and Moore compete for the backup spot, and even that isn't a lock.

Gantt is probably right here. This year's depth chart is going to look a lot like last year's, and all the hoping in the world isn't going to change that.

(there are changes I'd like to see too, but I try to be realistic about the chances of them happening)

He's right about the contract too. The FO effed that one up big IMO (like they did with Pep's) and it is backloaded like a mofo due to several restructurings. His 11 m cap hit last year was ridiculous.

I thought it was 9 last season and 11 this next one if nothing is changed?

Of course I am getting old and my memory is not as good as it once was

#s I saw were 2008 hit was close to 11 mill, but you could be right since I have no idea where to get what it is going to be this year and you have a figure for it.

PC is right...and there aren't many QBs who can do that for most of a season anyway. Depending on people's evaluations of QBs, MAYBE 4-5.

      A look at the team after the draft and udfa signings...

      By KillerKat · Posted

      My projection. I think at WR its time to go with youth. This means Moore should be the odd man out. Horn can return both punts and kicks and Tremayne is a better WR than Moore. XL gets one more year to prove himself, although I could see a trade in the future which would mean Moore could stay. For OL, I would like us to bring back Brady if we can. The RBs, Trevor can return both punts and kicks too. With the uncertainty of Brooks and Dillon, its hard to choose either one. I think the team would like for Brooks to have a breakout season to clear any uncertainty that he deserves a spot. For now, I have them both even and on the team. DL looks solid as well as OLB. Watch out for the UDFA of Aaron Hall and Isaiah Smith at OLB. They look promising and could knock someone off the team. ILB is still the biggest weakness on the team. We need to upgrade that any means necessary. CB is strong and Im praying to all the Gods that Wheatley beats out Scott at FS.  OFFENSE: WR: Tetairoa McMillan - *Chris Brazzell II* - Brycen Tremayne TE: Tommy Tremble - James Mitchell LT: #Rasheed Walker# - *Monroe Freeling* LG: Damien Lewis C- #Luke Fortner# - *Sam Hecht* RG: Robert Hunt - #Saahdiq Charles# RT: Taylor Moton - #Stone Forsythe# TE: Ja`Tavion Sanders - Mitchell Evans WR: Xavier Legette - Jalen Coker - Jimmy Horn Jr. QB: Bryce Young - #Kenny Pickett# RB: Chuba Hubbard - Trevor Etienne - #AJ Dillon# - Jonathon Brooks DEFENSE: LE: Tershawn Wharton - Bobby Brown III  NT: *Lee Hunter* - Cam Jackson RE: Derrick Brown - LaBryan Ray LOLB: Nic Scourton - Patrick Jones II  LILB: Trevin Wallace - Bam Martin-Scott - *Jackson Kuwatch* RILB: #Devin Lloyd# - Claudin Cherrelus  ROLB: #Jaelen Phillips# - Princely Umanmielen LCB: Jaycee Horn - Akayleb Evans RCB: Mike Jackson - *Will Lee III* - Chau Smith-Wade SS: Tre`von Moehrig - Lathan Ransom FS:  Nick Scott - *Zakee Wheatley* - Demani Richardson  SPECIAL TEAMS: K/KO: Ryan Fitzgerald P/H: Sam Martin KR: Trevor Etienne - Jimmy Horn Jr. PR: Trevor Etienne - Jimmy Horn Jr. LS: J.J.

      So is Legette getting traded?

      By MHS831 · Posted

      His contract is guaranteed.  Legette is just not where he needs to be mentally.  Not fully invested, it seems.

      Literally like Hill. He's not QB1 material (now or ever), but if we can turn him into a H-back and use him like  Swiss army knife, that's his ticket to make the roster.  H-back/emergency QB.  I wonder how good his hands are?  If they are at least above average by NFL standards then we can line him up in the backfield, in the slot, split out wide and of course, in the Wildcat.
