The best thing too do for the QB position is still bring in a VET.

I'm not saying not draft one this year and no way in hell should we stick with what we had last year.

No matter what we do a Vet needs too be added on this roster. A big problem last year is you had the Blind leading blind in that QB room. You had 2 rookies looking too a 4 year player with less then 10 games of starting exp. for advice. Not too mention the worst QB coach and OC in the league.

So if we have Gabbert, Newton, Mallet, Clausen, Moore or Pike we still need a vet in that locker room, the flim room, and on the sideline too help these young guys out.

Agree, ESPECIALLY, if the lock out drags into off season work outs.

[Stroupe-a-loop]

And Brian St. Pierre doesn't count as a veteran? You shame yourself sir.

[Jackofalltrades]

Why "too"?

[Mr. Scot]

Agree this needs to be done.

Wish the market were better, but whadda ya gonna do :(

Everybody wants instant gratification. A sign of immaturity.

I think not having one was probably 40% of the reason Clausen got worse as the season went on.

[Mr. Scot]

If the whole lockout/lame duck situation hadn't existed last year, I think we'd have had a vet on board for insurance in case Moore didn't pan out.

We need a Vet QB, but is there really a guy out there that has been successful and by successful I am just asking for a season where the QB was able to obtain the 7 win mark while still retaining the respect of his teammates. If not then really there is no reason no to draft a QB, because in all seriousness the Panthers CAN NOT go into next year with the same QB depth chart that they had last year. This doesn't mean that I think we should give up on Clausen but there definitely needs to be a ton of studying and disecting by the coaches and the QB's so that come training camp (if there is one) and the Panthers have a battle for the starting QB job that there is no doubt that the winner can 1) Lead the Panthers BACK to the Playoffs 2) Obtain the respect and honor of his team and coaches (something no QB on the roster was able to do last year and 3) Be the Franchise QB of the Panthers and be the team leader for years to come.

I don't value the "vet mentor" type as much as some of you do

I really don't think of it as a mentor as much as a tutor. We need a vet that can still play at a high level but also teach the younger guys as well.

Those guys don't really exist

[Mr. Scot]

Those guys don't really exist

Oh, I think they do. Rodney Peete was a good one.

But truth be told, as far as this season goes, I'm more interested in a starter than a mentor.

[TheRealDeal]

I just don't see that guy out there now
