Ok, so say that we trade Peppers to some team, and we get a first rounder in the 9-17 range....

Say that the teams above us pass on a guy like Mark Sanchez, who is a great prospect, and could be a really good QB with a few years to sit and learn from a veteran. What would you guys think if we drafted him?

And I know, I know....USC QB's suck blah blah blah.

If we take a QB (we won't) I really hope we stay away from the upper tier this year. Stafford looks like a good prospect but will be gone very early and get one of those rookie contracts that makes my eyes bleed when I read them.

Sanchez has one year starting on a team with an overload of talent. He might turn out great, but no one really knows at this point. Risky. Plus the sexual assault charge (was dropped because there were no other witnesses) might give pause.

Maybe try to snag Davis in the second if we really want young, decent talent to develop, or a small school QB later on.

I'm pretty positive our QB rotation is Delhomme/McCown/Moore again next year. Who is the rookie going to supplant, anyways? McCown will be #2 because of game experience. He'd need to beat out Moore.

I am kind of getting tired of all this assumption that we won't take a QB in the draft. Its not like Fox and Hurney haven't drafted a QB before, ya know? Bare in mind that neither of them were successful but still.

and I tend to remind folks that if it hadn't been for the Texans taking Carr #1 back in 02, we would've probably taken him.

Point being is, despite who is behind Jake, I am not ruling out the possibility of them taking a QB at some point in the draft but I think it will all depend on what we do with Peppers, if anything.

Do I think we will draft a QB in the 1st? IN MY OPINION, no but stranger things have happen. Last year, I didn't think there was a remote possibility that we would take a RB in the 1st either, yet we did.

Just my two cents

I don't think we'll never take a QB, but that our org is just really comfortable with our stable right now. I dislike Jake, but they don't and have a lot of confidence in him still. I also remember reading (maybe Gantt) that we had been chasing McCown for a while before we finally landed him, so we like him. That leaves Moore in the #3 spot who seems to be well regarded and would probably have to be blown out in training camp to get shoved out of that spot. We'll have to pick up someone for the PS, so maybe a late round or undrafted guy again this year who they see some potential in.

      Canales Addresses CB position

      By Basbear · Posted

      People forgot that the think tank thought enough of smith-wade, to cut the vet starter troy hill mid-season. Just happened smith just injuried soon after.  Personally I see no issues/PRESS THE PANIC BUTTON!!!1!1!! to take this group into TC. Of course Id love to have 5 all-pros at CB too, but this is the real world. Cuts and even trades happen once teams are going though the TC process. Just pray for health, like all other groups....

      Dan Morgan on Rich Eisen show

      By Basbear · Posted

      I'll toss my 2 pennies(rip) into this. I was not a fan of the Dan hire, I'd say 80against/20meh. The right hand stuff and being a part of what I viewed as the sorriest panther team in history...... The deal is some of the first moves he did saved NOTHING in cap space. He waived Bozeman, Vonn Bell, and Hurst.....That to me doesn't feel like Firererererere was listening to Dan to a high degree. Dan didn't have a 1st rounder which was 1st overall due to the supreme suckage. He didn't have 2nd rounder this past year which was a early pick right where the talent of the 2025 was. Plus the cap was not in the best shape.... The QB deal was in deep water as well. If you factor this extreme mess and analyze the current OL, DL, WR, and RB groups..... I have. Use your normal realistic cues. Even without playing the first game of this season, you must see improvement, right?? He simply could not fix all the problems, but the problems he choose to tackle... He did so like it was the 2003 Superbowl all over again. Factor in depth and age, those groups check the difficult boxes. Most of the players are young, locked in contracts, and there *should* be depth behind the starters. He's not going to bat 1.000, his mistakes have been pointed out numerous times. IMO, he does need some props for what I feel he's done right. Trade wise he's been killing the value side- extra future 2nd, starter level CB that's 28 year old for 240 picked LB that's bounced around the league, and moved up without giving the classic herniay future picks to land two edges whom are only behind QBs on the most valued chart. He also got a early 2nd and 2 5ths for a 8 sack-a-year edge that got nearly 30 mill per.  Sure its got to play out and positive results are needed. Still if you know NFL and been watching since the herniay&gettlegut eras, you got to feel the process is on the up and up. Im not talking in typical off-season hopuim fluff either.... It's not over by any means either(please give him until the 2026 season end), maybe this is a real foundation in the making, us Panthers don't even know what that is...... This could be the first real long lasting winner than us fans have never had in 30 years and we are witnessing it....

      I feel like we have some depth; we just need that proven nickel. Mike Jackson is a decent #2, but ideally we'd have a proven veteran in the slot. Smith-Wade might be able to fill that role, but he's far from a sure thing.
