What about Pike?

We have a thread on how great Moore is, and on how crappy Clausen is, so I think that the current Huddle standards are being met. But what about Pike? Think he makes it on to the final roster? You can assume Clausen will, he's under contract and Hurney believes in him. And of course, Newton takes a spot. That leaves one roster spot, unless we carry four QBs.

So, do we sign a vet and cut Pike? Or do we carry four QBs? What do you think?

Tony Pike--ex Cincy QB who this Fantasy Football expert predicted would be an all-pro someday. You know, the tall skinny kid?

I wondered what happened to him. I mean, we should have seen more of him given our QB situation last year.

pretty sure he blew away in the wind.

but seriously, about the only thing he has on clausen right now is the fact he's largely unknown. He'll get his chance in training camp, just like Clausen, but he's gonna have to show WAY more to keep his spot.

personally, I dont think our backup qb is on the team. Cam Newton will be the starter, he will be a scrambling qb and will have a playbook designed for his scrambling skills. It only makes sense to have a backup capable of those plays as to not throw off the entire offense. Who that will be, I dunno. There is a remote possibility that armani is groomed to be cams backup since he has similar skills.

Who knows anything about any of our QB's after last year. FoxyscrewJRball was a disaster. If Pike had potential it was not going to be uncovered or developed last year.

Okay let's just stop it there, he pretty much has no potential.

      I just want to see a big guy with an NFL certified cannon arm suit up for the panthers again. To me, it will show that they are at least  trying to take the QB position in the direction it needs to go.   Will he throw picks? Yes. Probably a hell of a lot, but (for now) I’m strangely ok with that… for now. I at least need to see a dude that CAN make the throws with some semblance of accuracy.  This is the time to see what the QB whisperer is made of. The offensive talent is there. It’s certainly better than most rookie/journeymen QBs will ever step in to. If he can get a random dude playing at a JAG level, then I might be sold.  Andy could really surprise in the Buffalo game. He (for now) still has enough arm for Tet and XL to show what they’ve got, but we all know it’s only going to be good for 3-4 games, max. He has vet savvy, and that does account for a lot. He also has a full week of practice with all the snaps to prepare.  My best case scenario going forward: Andy plays the next 2 games nobly (winning one would be a huge bonus) giving White a chance to learn some of the playbook and develop chemistry with the players. Serviceable Andy turns in to old man Andy in game 3 and White takes the field after halftime.  A high ankle sprain (lol, sure it is) is an injury that can buy the team a LONG time for BY to ride the pine…. Maybe even IR. His peak trade value is now. Get what they can for this albatross. He’s now shown that he can be a mid level backup which does hold a significant value for the right team.  Not even in my wildest dreams do I see White being anything more than a JAG, but that’s ok. JAGs with a big arm make great bridge QBs that at least won’t have your play makers stagnating. Keeping BY under center is a 100% recipe for stagnating high ceiling (Tet/XL) dudes and/or not allowing them to take the next step in their development. Why even practice the good half of the playbook if the QB can’t make the throw? After a while, you’ve now got high ceiling guys who can only run a limited route tree. No thanks.
