Volek not likely an option

Though I understood the logic behind bringing in a vet that would be familiar with the new offensive direction, I never understood the clamoring for Volek. He's a 35 year old backup QB that has never been more than average. He's not necessarily someone I'd want mentoring our young QBs.

does this mean we're sticking with moore as our veteran QB or we just aren't going after volek?

I don't consider Moore a vet.....not in the defintion of what you want when you have a young roster at QB. Moore is still a young QB.

Remember when everyone was talking about Volek being a good fit because of his familiarity with the system and Rivera? Someone pointed out that this only made sense if Rivera liked him (maybe Scott, IDR).

This report tells me that the answer was "no", Rivera doesn't like him.

I actually really like Volek. The Chargers staff managed to get their defense + Volek + Sproles to defeat Manning's Colts in a playoff game after Rivers and LDT both got hurt. Volek's body of work is by no means terrible. He's probably one of the best backups in the league, and considering we had what many would consider the worst starter in the league last year, I think that'd make Volek better than Clausen + St. Pierre + Moore...

"League source" all too often winds up being someone's agent, so I don't know how seriously I'd take this.

He might be right, but Reed is the guy who posted a big column explaining why there was absolutely no chance of the Panthers picking up Keyshawn Johnson about 24 hours before they signed him.

      I wouldn't mind a deal that would add Rust or Rakell from the Pens. Move Jarvy to 2C, send KK and a prospect to Pittsbhrgh. Pittsburgh is taking calls for both. And both of them have played very well against Carolina.

      I liked James on a personal level. I still do. But he had his flaws too and what's done is done. Charles Lee will get this season to showcase what he's building. If he and the team look like poo he should be on a very hot seat. But I don’t expect that to happen. I could be wrong. But I'd rather not be in this instance. Regardless. At some point we're going to be lucky to hire anyone worth a damn if we keep firing coaches. It's not something any of us should want to see because it's only going to mean yet another reset. Best case scenario is Lee with this infusion of youth establishes a refreshing culture change. We'll see.

      This is preseason fluff, I know he has Buffalo 28 and they might not be are studded but they will perform over expected which can easily happen to the panthers. This is the “name game/franchise name”. I would put us against Green Bay in terms of talent but Green Bay is gonna get the benefit of the doubt
