God you're an annoying bastard. Nobody is saying to draft a QB just for the hell of it.

Look, I don't care if it's Andrew Luck, Blaine Gabbert, or Cam Newton, you're taking a chance by drafting a QB in the first round regardless of who it is, and every one of them is a project to some extent. All I'm saying is let's stop being so damned scared to take a freakin chance. You can't get anywhere in life or in football if you're scared of going for it once in a while.

I agree with you.. but if the scouting department and coaching staff don't feel any of those QBs are worth the pick, then drafting one wouldn't be the best choice.. scared or not..

whatever everyone else is saying, disregard it in this post..

That is certainly a possibility, but Hurney has already made it pretty clear that fixing the QB position is the priority, so don't be shocked if they do draft one. There is a long ways to go in the evaluation process anyway, so stocks will rise and fall weekly between now and draft day.

Fixing the QB is priority

1-Could be a smoke screen to force a team in love with a QB to trade up and take him away from us

2- Could also be bringing in a Vet

3- Could be Clausen coming in early and working with Shula

Which he has

4- Could be drafting a QB

Well if they think they can fix it by bringing in a vet, then we're screwed. Maybe they have confidence in Clausen and maybe not, but I just don't think this veteran mentoring business is all it's cracked up to be. The guy can either play or he can't. All a coach or veteran mentor can do is to make him as fundamentally sound as possible and try to keep him motivated...the rest is up to Jimmy and whatever talent he was blessed with.

Lets give Clausen at least 3 more years before we call him a bust.

I'm fine with that, but if we don't put a back up plan in place now then that 3 years could easily turn in to 5 more years without a franchise QB, depending on how future drafts shake out. We will probably end up running off another HC if that happens, because he's the one who will shoulder all the blame.

Allow me to summarize: There are no QB's worth the 1st pick.

I was reading....though disagreeing....but all was lost at the implication of Newton at #1...as a QB.

Asinine.

id rather wait until next year to draft a qb. luck, jones, and berkley are all better than the qbs in this draft

I just don't think the Panthers can gamble with this pick, and taking any of the QB's #1 would be doing that. They have to take the player who will most likely translate to a successful NFL player. Not having a 2nd round pick makes this even more dire.
