What Vet and Who goes...

Now that we've drafted our franchise QB of the future. What vet do we go after and what pick out of next years draft are we willing to give up? Personally, I'd like to see us sign McNabb and have him tutor Cam for a season or two. But this means that we'll have a vet, Cam and Clausen. So I guess we say bye bye to Moore and Pike or try to stash one of em on the practice squad.

Because in my opinion, the reason for his epic failure this year was lack of preparation. That's not the kind of person I want mentoring our young #1 overall. I honestly can't think of a better reason for finishing off last year so strong (for example, the sound thrashing he gave the Giants) and then playing so bad when he had a chance this year (for example, the sound thrashing he received from the Giants). He did play one good game against the 49ers, quite possibly the worst secondary in the NFL, but then turned around and played horrible against the Rams. It's possible I'm wrong, maybe it was just bad luck and never getting into a groove because of the injuries (doesn't explain NYG game) but that doesn't seem to be the most evident reason.

McNabb is who I prefer because he's went through what Cam has/will go through on an off the field and has shown he can be a good mentor even if it was in the short term with Mike Vick.

We don't run a west coast offense.

Which is why McNabb will not work out.

Honestly someone who DOESN'T happen to have Cams athletic abilities. Someone who has had to work hard because they DON'T have these abilities.

Reasoning is, if someone with a super high work ethic talent that same work ethic teaches a guy with super high talent to work hard... yeah.

      Panthers OLB Pat Jones II makes bold claim about team's defense

      By DaveThePanther2008 · Posted

      It's not impossible to go from worst to first.  We kept Evero because anyone in there right mind knew our defense was destroyed by injuries, not the scheme.  Evero has been given a plethora of talent between free agency and the draft, not to mention getting DB back. I fully expect our defense to be very good.  I have no reason to think Jones would say something like that unless he truly felt like that.

      We would’ve played Florida and lost in the 1st instead of the 3rd round.  Montreal would have been the 8 seed.

      I can't get behind a purely subjective re-draft as a method of defining "top-10 QB" status. That invites bias based on vibes/hypotheticals and can ignore actual on-field performance. You and others have said that Bryce has to be a top-10 QB to justify the pick. That's a high bar, which I'm not against, but we need a clear, consistent way to measure it. When I bring up metrics that Bryce has registered in the top-10 in like BTT%, P2S ratio, catchable deep ball rate, etc... they're waved off as either irrelevant or the expected baseline performance. Meanwhile, volume stats like passing yards or win-loss records, both of which depend heavily on roster talent, health, and coaching, are treated as definitive. That's where the inconsistency kicks in. If no performance metric ever counts in his favor and the answer is always going to be "he should be doing that," then we're not evaluating him... we're just holding him to a curve he can't win against. If this is really about performance standards, then let's define them. But if it's just about confirming prior takes based on height and weight, then let's call it what is it and stop pretending that this is a football analysis discussion.
