What is our best short term option at qb?

[jarhead]

I know this not a popular comment but I do not think you can automatically assume a rookie is going to to give you the best chance to win short term or long term.We need to approach picking up a FA QB as competetion and the best chance to win.

I agree with most of your post; but because I see the development of Cam as the focus of the franchise I don't see the upside to bringing Moore back.

I respectfully disagree...we have to do the things that will give us the best chance of winning.Cam cant do it on his own nor should our total goal be centric around Cam.

Whats the point of starting any one but Cam? He was the number 1 overall pick in the draft. If he knows's 90+% of the playbook ALREADY then why would he not be ready? He has 4 preseason games to get any nerves out.

PLUS, he isnt a 1 dimensional player. If he's having a bad passing day; use some short tosses/QB runs/option plays.

There's also no point in bringing in some random vet. QB for Newton to sit under. Say we make him sit under Matt Moore for example. What exactly is he going to learn? They're completely different players and Moore is average like most other vets. we could bring in.

Thats not the point.The point is we have only two young qbs on our roster.We need another qb......Do we bring in another rookie? Bring in someone who can compete and give us the best chance to win just like any other postion.Let the best man start.

if newton has a solid grasp on the offense, is constantly learning, and the players respond to him then he is the best option short and long term.

Exactly!

Cam Newton

if he is short term, who is long term?

Cam Newton.

Hasselback as mentioned is most likely gonna be a Titan. He wants to work with Locker both having worked together in Washington recently per Clayton

Arizona is getting Kolb whether the fans want it or not...probably Rogers Cromartie & a pick in return

Alex Smith is going to stay in San Fran whther their fans want it or not

There continue to be rumblings of McNabb in Miami but I'm not quite buying it. You have to give Henne another year. He's proven to be adequate but not a guy who can beat the Pats or Jets.

The way I look at things as of today:

I'm not thinking our actual FO is particularly looking at Bulger. I just don't see it happening and honestly he's not that great. He phased out the GSOT and once the old Rams were gone, he was terrible.

McNabb had his team in the Super Bowl and a handful NFCCGs. Just because he never really had a mentor and underwent countless scrutiny in Philly doesn't make me think he doesn't fit with us. He left his only system to a Redskins team that is perpetually going in circles, never having a stable team. He did below average but showed he still has it more so than Bulger ever did. I say we could possibly trade a 4th/5th/6th for McNabb.

The other person who showed he was actually still at his Super Bowl year level was Rex Grossman, and he put McNabb on the bench. Yeah, I said it. 7tds, 4ints, 884yds (2 300+ games). That Dallas game was impressive and I wouldn't be surprised at all if we ended up with him. I'm in no way endorsing this, but its a legit possibility imo.

Both would do better than Bulger...maybe Volek/Gradkowski

I think Cam tears it up in training camp and he is announced starter before season starts. That is best case scenario.

no doubt that's the best case scenario

[Peppers90 NC]

no doubt that's the best case scenario

Stafford, Sanchez, Big Ben, Ryan, Bradford, Flacco just to name a few have had immediate success and were named starters before season starts.

and all with 1st year coaches minus Ben

The real question is what's the point of you posting a completely ridiculous post. If you do not understand the benefit of the Panthers signing a vet QB, then it is apparent you have absolutely 2ro understanding of the game.

That is all.
