Wtf? No Billy Volek. If our FO is going to put next season on the line with a 100 year old qb do you think they would pick a career backup or someone who was a successful starter to lead the team?

Come on. Yet people talk about the supporters of drafting a QB like their clueless morons lol.

Kolb is below average and way too expensive. I didn't see Flynn play, so i don't know. And Hanie only played what a half, and threw 2 picks? No thanks.

Again if were going to go this route and expecting to pluck a QB from another team, it has to be someone who's been a starter and hasn't poo the bed doing so.

I do think we need another QB for competetion and I cannot defend the play of Clausen,but I think some thought should be given to how Matt Moore was so much better the year before coupled with the sucess of our running game the year before versus last year.I think at least some of our demise was in the play and personal of our offensive line.We let Vincent go which I thought was huge and then lost Otah and so on and so on.Other differances in blocking was the loss of Moose and Hoover who were both good blockers

All I am saying the first thing we all do is look at the QB when everything goes to poo when we may be overlooking a big part of the problem.

I hope Moore turns out to be a good back-up, but that is all that can realistically be expected of him at this point. The reality is Moore had only 4 good games in his career. These games just happened to be at the end of the season in 2009 and everyone got hopeful (including myself). He looked as bad, if not worse than Clausen last year. He had the same deer in the headlights look and that is unacceptable for a 5th year guy.

If we go QB in the draft and it appears we are going that direction, we will have to grab a vet from somewhere to fill the void for New QB or Clausen to get up to speed. I really don't like any of the options unless Orton somehow is released (doubtful). Palmer is not going to happen and Kolb would be great but two first rounder is ridiculous. Why do people say he is bad? The Eagles throw the ball more than any team in the NFL and they traded away a top QB because they believed in Kolb.

      Report: Panthers great Luke Kuechly being eyed for big TV job

      Would Morgan or Beason have been HOFers' if injuries hadn't derailed their careers?  I was not a close watcher of the game when Morgan was in his prime but I thought Beason had a few seasons at close to Lukes' level of play.

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      By 45catfan · Posted

      Franchise QBs feast when things are rolling and the tide that raises boats when things are going sideways.  Bryce isn't that. He's a complimentary player, that's it.  When the defense and STs are on point, he plays loose and it shows.  When we are in a dog fight and things haven't gone our way, he struggles.  It's that simple. He's not a horrible QB, but he's not top tier either.  So the question begs, is this worthy of a second contract?  The answer should be no.  It definitely is my answer. Bryce will never be a QB that can produce wins largely on his arm.  That's a FRANCHISE QB, any other QB is simply a placeholder at the starter's position until that guy can be found.   At some point the excuses of lack of weapons will be a straw man.  Heck, it's nearly there now.  I mean if he doesn't look even better than last year will we blame it on the TE position?  'Well if Bryce only had a player like Kelce, Kittle or Gronk on this team...'  Are we really going to do that?

      Round 1: The Carolina Panthers select OT Monroe Freeling (Georgia)

      By MHS831 · Posted

      When I arrived at college, I was 18, not too much younger than some of these draft picks.  It was not a huge school, but there were guys on the team who were 21, 22, 23....playing ahead of me.  I was seventh on the depth chart.  Those guys have been through a few seasons, were stronger, more knowledgeable.  I was a better raw player than some of them, but those other factors matter.  As I grew stronger, more familiar with the playbook, and learned what it was like to play in college, I gradually improved and with that, I rose up the depth chart.  It took most of my freshman year for the light to come on.  Had the coach thrown me into the starting lineup day 1, I would have probably failed.    And that was college.  So I agree with you based on my experience on a much lower level.  Frankly, I think that is why so many kids drafted to fill huge gaps bust.  The teams are desperate.  Anyone who looks to fill vacancies in the starting lineup through the draft is desperate.  You draft depth to develop.  For this reason, I say, "Let Walker start for a while."  Maybe Brazzell can be our WR 4.  Throw Hunter into a rotation and ask him to do one or two things.  Freeling needs some strength and he needs to work on run blocking.
