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.

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.

    • Hello, soccer fans [crickets, tumbleweed flies by]. The World Cup kicks off in less than 2 weeks and, well, 🇺🇸USA USA USA🇺🇸 and all. We beat Senegal 3-2 yesterday in a tune-up friendly at BoA, with Christian Pulisic finally entering the scoring column.  How will we do in the World Cup once our tournament kicks off on the 12th? Well, there are 48 teams (assuming Iran is there) and it feels like one of two thing happens: we get grouped for the first time since '98, or we make it to the Round of 16 for the third time in the last four World Cups. I tried out the lottery for an Atlanta game and struck out, so yesterday was as World Cup as I'll get for in-person ($285/ticket for like Norway vs $39/ticket for USMNT right beforehand was a layup).  The U.S. has a travel-heavy schedule in group play, playing in LA, Seattle and LA. Real road warrior mentality being built. Glad the east coast gets worse kickoff times for a NA World Cup than a Qatar World Cup.
    • Well, that's the thing. Drafting players only for their physical measurables as you are suggesting only really happened during 2024, and X unfortunately has become the poster child for that. To be clear, it's not necessarily about drafting RAS over skill, but RAS over NFL-readiness and/or a solid body of work. Lots of players show skill in college, but those skills don't necessarily translate to the NFL for a multitude of reasons. But, getting back to the main point, to be clear, I believe that our FO is still enamored with physical gifts (who wouldn't be?), but now they're letting Dr. Eric Eager's proprietary system--his "secret sauce" prioritize the players that the Panthers draft, and it seems like it weighs not only a solid body of work, relative to a college career of course, but consistent gradual improvement as evidenced by production pretty highly. 
    • Its a good article about how pathetically bad our past drafts ('23 and '24) have been. Building the team in '23 since we weren't ready yet and taking your qb in '24 made so much more sense in hindsight. Ladd McConkey over XL is pretty much a given but not sure it does as much to change Bryce's trajectory as the author suggests.  As bad as '23 and '24 drafts were, the '25 and '26 really give me hope.
