2nd round QBs

A lot of people have been posting about how much Carolina has "invested" into Clausen and that you can't draft a QB now. So I figured we could look at the recent QBs drafted in the 2nd round (5 drafts prior to Clausen's) and how much they appeared "tied" to and invested in them.

2nd round QBs

2009

Dolphins - waived after 1 season

2008

Packers - waived after 1 season

Dolphins - active roster

Patriots - waived after 1 season

2007

Eagles - 2 yrs into career Eagles brought former Pro Bowler Mike Vick in but still on the active roster

Dolphins - another QB drafted 1 yr later in 2nd, waived after 2 seasons

Lions -another QB drafted 2 yrs later in first round but still on active roster

2006

Vikings - active roster

recent history shows that teams who draft QBs in the 2nd round are NOT afraid to part ways very quickly with the QBs or bring in new bodies via the draft or free agency/trade.

I don't think we've invested too much in Clausen to draft another QB... if you think any of the QB's in this class are potential franchise QB's then you draft them - it's as simple as that - but the argument that we should go ahead and give up on Clausen at this point is silly.

Probably due to the fact they find out that second rounders rarely develop into franchise guys. People point out Brees but he was picked at the first guy in the second round or 1 pick out of the first round. By the bottom of the second round you are talking about a guy who typically is a crapshoot particularly in years like last year with a draft weaker than this one outside of Bradford.

but I think a key arguement is some people think not giving up on him means he continues to start. I don't think we give up on him....but he definately should be burried on the depth chart. Maybe he turns into something but putting someone that bad out doesn't help him or the Panthers at this point.

dont give up on him yet, but he should not see the field. clausen looked bad and i dont think he will be a qb in the nfl. if he shows nothing in tc and preseason give him the clipboard and put a 6th rounder on his head. or just cut him than.

There is huge difference between giving up on him and not putting all your eggs in one basket.

Carolina is not drafting a QB this year. Please get this idiotic idea out of ur heads. Carolina will sign Billy Volek. They are basically going to install San Diegos offense with Chud here, who else to run it then someone who already knows the system. Jimmy will sit, Pike will sit. Moore will get traded. Carolina will take Dareus or Peterson with the #1 pick or trade down and get a 2nd round pick.

my thread isn't about claiming they will draft a QB. Just that Carolina isn't going to be afraid of making QB moves.

Personally, I think we bring in vet that becomes our starter.

I think Pike gets cut and Moore isn't under contract to get traded. 6th rounders generally don't hang on for seasons. I think Rivera brings in two new QBs to camp one way or another.

Did Moore look that much better while in last season?

Moore, Clausen, Gabbert, Newton, or Mallet would have all looked lackluster in our offense

Moore was not very successful in his very brief time......but Moore did look much better in terms of basics of the position.

      Moton extension. 2 more years, $44M

      By mrcompletely11 · Posted

      fuging Christ dude this isnt hard.  Like at all.  I get you simping for this poo team is your thing but sometimes you have to look at reality.   Even removing his bum knee from the equation, none of this made sense.  He is 31.  He has been paid handsomely for his service here.  He was currently under contract for this season.  Why in the holy fug did anything have to be done 2 weeks before the season started.   The people for this move, in this thread are saying A) He deserved it (this is the nfl it doesnt work like that  B) It frees up cap space (then why in the fug didnt we do this in Feb or C) You logic (We are getting a deal at 53 million guaranteed for the next 3 years.   You realize with this deal we cannot cut or trade his ass for 3 years.  You understand this right?   So in my opinion we should have let this ride into the offseason and go from there, what he is going to threaten to walk, big fuging deal he would be 32 on a chronically bad knee, what other moronic franchise is going to give him 40 million up front?  It wasnt going to happen.   And you are acting like its impossible to replace a 32 year old RT with a bum knee.  Just go and draft someone, move Icky to RT.  There are tons of options instead of extending this dude 2 weeks before the fuging season.  The truth is Morgan and the shitheads in the FO fell for this dudes crying act and got all sentimental and shelled out another ext.  We are a poverty ass franchise that doesnt act professionally

      Amazing what the prospect of being traded to Carolina will do for contract negotiations.

      5 Im glad football is back but after the embarrassment that was the browns pre season game where our starting D made Sanders look like a serviceable NFL QB, I lost hope again for a successful Panthers campaign this year.  I do hope I’m wrong!
