What is our best short term option at qb?

This is not a Cam Newton thread.I cant imagine Cam will be ready when the season opens given the lack of time tp prepare.What FAs are going to be availible that will sign knowing they will eventually be taking a back seat. Bulger comes to my mind. I think MMoore will move on.

To me they must do more than offering up Clausen or Newton as a human pinata.I cannot imagine JR wanting a repeat of last year.

Matt Moore but he is also young enough to be long term solution but that does not fit the plan with Cam. Plus Matt owes us nothing and it doesn't really help him all that much to resign with us.

So I would say an improved Jimmy Clausen because then he'd either be all world and we extend him or maybe he's just pretty good and we can trade him.

fixed.

At this point it has to be Newton starting from day one. I don't see any other option.

I disagree.We need a veteran qb on the team for a number of reasons.What if Cam bombs do you put in Clausen? Who is going to mentor these guys? We need a guy to compete until Cam or Clausen are ready.

I think that the silver lining to all of this might possibly be a significant drop in expectations by the media and fan base as far as Cam Newton is concerned...

This (gasp) might be exactly what the Dr. Ordered for us... He already doesn't have to live up to that ridiculous 1st overall pick contract... This might just be working out for us.

Now whatever He does he'll be praised for... Lack of camp time, lack or reps... As opposed to taking the full blame if he falters...

Just TRYING to be positive during all if this...

Well let me put it this way...we will need to sign another qb...who should it be? MMoore is a possibility or do we go for a more senior qb like a Bulger or Grakawski? We are obviously not going for a high salary guy.

JR cannot have a repeat of last year so other than a new coaching staff which will help and the return of Otah who may or may not contribute and signing an TE that may not make through camp how are we going to compete?

Cam may well be our starter day 1, but I say we're getting either Bulger, Volek, or Gradkowski. Hasselback goes back to Seattle, Arizona gets Kolb, Buffalo is trying out Fitz for at least another year, Alex Smith seems like he's staying in SF with Kaep as his backup. We're in good position to get Bulger, hell maybe even McNabb which wouldn't be that bad. A hell of a lot better than last year.

Overall, we'll be searching for a vet QB probably along with the Vikings, Dolphins, Redskins, & Titans.

It just depends on what our coaches are thinkin

      a look at our 19 udfas

      By Khyber53 · Posted

      I tend to look at all of these guys and wonder how committed they are to doing special teams? It's a big deal when you're fighting for roster spots. And we need massive refreshes to all phases of the special teams game. And the idea that four or five of these players could see rotational use outside of special teams would be a win. This team has accumulated quite a bit of dead wood over the last five years and its time to take an axe to some of it. These new fellows have a shot to benefit from that if they can really push. That being said, wow that receivers room is crowded right now. I'm not sure if I was a vet player with more than 2 years experience other than Adam Thielen if I'd be too sure of my future here. Tet is guaranteed a spot, Coker earned his for sure and they aren't done with XL developing yet. That's only two to three spots left for the entire room. It's going to be very competitive and better for Bryce's future, too. Safety and linebacker are the opportunity spots here this season. There's room for the right guy and we may see a starter eventually from one of these UDFAs, either by merit or injury.

      Aho and Jarvis just gripping it too tight right now. Relax, play their 200 ft game and the shots will start to find the net. Freddie has been excellent and welcome back Mista Svechnikov. Burns.....well, thank goodness for Slavin.
