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

      We joke about how the NFL has a script for the season. But maybe it's not a joke?

      Im very similar to Ron in being a company/league man. But that ends after the third head hit, I would have lost my religion. Then after I got kicked out of the game, Id 100% be dropping nukes in the after-game presser. fug you fine me whatever, I am going to protect my QB and since logic and reason isn't being used, I can be the bad guy.  The replays showed clear evidence, Id feel no shame in cussing out a crew of chicken poo refs. In fact Id tell the video staff to play infractions on a split screen during my press conference.

      And even worse you have injuries force you to play anther one dimensional train wreck combine that with Orlov being no were close to as advertised and boom you have 3 defensemen being dressed who couldn't defend my 96 year old grandmother. That said next year having Slavin,Miller,Nikishin,Chatfield gives you the best shutdown d man in the league two large athletic HIGH offensive potential D who can take away time and space....   The more I think about it the more I like this seasons approach, if you bring back burns or aquire anther large RHS with length you have 5 D all over 6'2 and 210 with three of them having great offense too, make no mistake they want size and skill on the blue line now and its almost 100% directed at getting past FL.

      Honestly the 2024 draft class(minus brooks). All are in line to be starters, expect crumedy who's fighting for a 53.  Still that class was looking terrible, is now looking like 4 starters and maybe 1 depth. Anytime you draft 2 starters and a key depth piece its a good draft. 4 starters are rare and that's with brooks who could have made 5 starters if not for awful luck.  That draft also helped land starter Michael Jackson in a round about way, big bonus..
