“Our quarterback position is what it is right now,” coach Ron Rivera told reporters during a recent visit to Fayetteville. “We’ve got to talk about where we want to head as far as the veteran backup is concerned.”

Thought we'd never hear this again with fox out the door? you thought wrong.

sigh....it's been a long offseason...END THE LOCKOUT

How sad is it that this article came outta the Shelby star!? I grew up there.... Sad sad city!

Never been to Shelby, but I will always hate that place. Beat my football team in the State Championship 5 years ago. Total heartbreaker.

And yes, to the OP, the lockout does need to end because we definitely need something with some real substance to talk about. I'd at least like for our coach to be able to say hello to his players at some point.

Listen to coaches around the league. They all use that term quite often. It is not unique to Fox simply we heard it ad nauseum because he was our coach.

exactly.. sometimes there's only 1 answer to a question because people want to know what an answer cannot give.

OR, the coach/staff/player would be stupid to give it.. expect to hear it all your life.

Most interesting thing is that Cam already has the starter job locked up before stepping foot in camp and they aren't even going to pretend like he has to earn it. They also don't seem to be thinking about competition for him either.

Don't know if that's a good or bad thing, just interesting.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      Nobody is giving up a 4th rounder for a backup QB And anyone who needs a starter badly enough to where Bryce would then be their starter, is such a bad team that they're not giving up a pick likely to be about pick 105ish overall, instead of just dealing with a bad QB situation for a season and then drafting one in a loaded QB draft next year. I'm looking through all the teams right now and can't think of a single one that would be willing to part with anything better than a 6th rounder. Barring injuries (and excluding the Panthers), there look to be 10 teams who don't know with 100% certainty who their starting QB will be in 2027... Dolphins, Jets, Browns, Steelers, Vikings, Colts, Saints, Falcons, Cardinals, and Rams. Of those 10...  The Rams know it will be Stafford or Simpson.  The Saints more than likely will be sticking with Shough unless he takes a huge step backwards.  So neither are giving up any draft picks for Bryce right now, just wouldn't make sense for either. Down to 8 Given their current QB situation of having multiple QBs they already need to evaluate between this year, the Browns (Shedeur/Watson), Vikings (Kyler/JJ), Colts (Jones/Richardson/Leonard), and Falcons (Penix/Tua), wouldn't be giving up a 4th (or maybe any pick) to bring in another QB to muddy the waters even more. Down to 4 Dolphins just signed Willis and wouldn't want to bring in another small Alabama QB who has struggled after just dumping Tua instead of just rolling with Ewers as the backup.   That then leaves the Steelers, Cardinals, and Jets left as it's clear none of them have any idea who their 2027 could be as of right now.  But the Steelers would for sure rather just see what one of the 2 QB's they drafted in the last 2 drafts could become than give up a mid round pick for Bryce.  Same goes for the Cardinals in taking Beck this past weekend. The Jets would be the most likely team to even consider taking him on, but I think it seems very apparent right now given them rolling with Geno and now talk of bringing in Wilson to be his backup, they're punting on QB this year to draft someone next year, so why give up even a mid round pick for Bryce?

      Where panthers draft ranked against Big Boards in 2023

      By strato · Posted

      Honestly I am not sure Pickett couldn’t step in for him. But I don’t see a clear easy upgrade and we are not KC with Alex Smith we are a team that hadn’t done poo for almost ten years and just made the playoffs. And looked good in the game. That stadium atmosphere on that day…. you know Tepper ate that poo up. Not one drink has been thrown in a while.  You had better make sure if you replaced him after that that you had a sure fire upgrade.

      Makes sense. If Bryce is ass this year, we are probably drafting our new QB next draft and sitting him behind Bryce for a year
