Trade down is the best option period.

Trade out of #1, take Defense later in Round 1. Pick up a 2nd this year and a first next year.

NO QB in this draft is going to turn this franchise around in 2 years. So have two picks next year to use when the QB crop should be better to get a guy to develop for a year. If you do that Rivera will have had two drafts and two free agent offseasons (hopefully) to make the TEAM better for when the kid steps in.

We need a Veteran via trade or signing to hold the reigns for 2 years at the QB position in the mean time.

Trade down!

Even if the next QB draft is better, I have yet to have anybody explain to me how we can guarantee that we get one of them. Does anybody really believe that whoever has the #1 pick next year is going to trade down and pass up on Andrew Luck, assuming that Luck even has and equal or better season? And even if they did, they would want massive compensation for him, so that is pretty much out of the question, unless it's us at #1 again.

Agreed, many people think if we don't solve our QB issues that we will undoubtedly be the worst team again and will be in line for Luck next year. As much as it pains most people to hear it, even if Clausen starts all 16 games next year, i do not believe that we will be in the bottom 5 in the league. Hell, just the coaching regime change in itself is good for another 3-4 wins in my opinion.

this reminds me of the time my buddy tried to give me a 12 pack of "quality" beer.

I asked why he wanted to get rid of approx 20 bucks worth of beer for free. He finally admitted it tastes like ass.

"Hey NFL, anybody want the shittiest #1 pick in years, real cheap!"

hahaha

If Cinci, Arizona, or Buffalo really want Newton/Gabbert, we could definitely nab an additional 2nd or 3rd rounder along with still getting either Dareus, Peterson, or Green. That would be the type of trade that makes the most sense imo

Here we go again.... :willy_nilly: ..... the mindset of passing on a QB who will take two years to develop for an unknown QB we can draft next season who will be ready either at the same time or later than a QB we could draft today who can also end up being better than this mysterious unknown QB the Panthers are supposedly going to be able to definately get next year :shocked:

I have an idea..... lets keep passing on 1st round QB talent, for position players that can help us so every year we can continue to keep saying... we will use our top pick on a QB next season. :willy_nilly: That all being said I am fine passing on a QB this year if its not Cam... of course unless Hurney, Rivera, etc really think Gabbert is a better option. (I just dont see that)

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

      So the last guy who had the job got hired by his former team directly into a role he has no direct experience in?

      Hard to pass up millions for a couple of days work per week for a coaching gig in the NFL that is 60-80 hours each week during the season and a more relaxed 50 hours a week during the off season. Yeah, I'd love to see him as our DC but hard to see him giving up the cushy job there if he gets it. And he's going to be a great commentator for the network.

      Really, I think that is where negotiations come in. If you've got a QB getting you to 10 wins but statistically he's not a great performer, then you say look you can take $22 million or you can try it on the market. Because let's face it, out there, any leadership skills that we're seeing aren't going to be on the table, it's just going to be performance and that lands him in the QB2 market, which is much, much less lucrative (although any of us would love that money).  No one is saying that Bryce will be a $50 million QB, barring something short of a miraculous jump. I'm just saying that if we are winning somehow with him at the helm, then it would be fuging stupid to dive back into the rookie pool all over again. Let's say we do hit the 10 win mark, heck, let's call it 11 and a second round in the playoffs. I think we can all say that would be a really uplifting result and one that should be doable if we have good play. What do we do then? Here's what I would offer if I were Morgan and Tepper. $25 million a year for 3 years, each year with up to $10 million in incentives for touchdowns, wins, playoff depth, being under 10 interceptions, completing a full season, passing yardage milestones, taking less than 15 sacks. Look, Bryce isn't a Ferrari, he isn't a Corvette, or a mid-level BMW. He's probably a new Toyota Sienna that will definitely get you somewhere and bring the whole team along with it, no fuss but not a lot of pizazz.  And really, it's about the destination, not about what drove you there.
