I still don't understand why we're not more interested in Volek than we seem to be. He's a perfect fit. I love the idea of bringing Jake back as well, as a mentor to Cam/Jimmy, but as far as a vet who could step in and start and play relatively well? Volek is the best choice easily.

If Fox were still here, I think Jake would be an outside possibility. With the new staff, QB situation, etc. I just don't see JR bringing him back. Jake is ancient history. Plus, can Jake really start in this league again? He may want to retire. He would probably make a good coach some day. This franchise is moving on and becoming younger at QB.

That said, the fact that Moore is out, makes it pretty clear they do want to bring in a vet. I can't speculate as to who it might be...but I think the org. needs to decide what qualities they would want in a vet QB. Here are some ideas:

leadership and the ability to mentor younger players

proven skill and past success, a winner

can start week one if necessary

can play 16 games if necessary

doesn't mind being #2 when the time is right for Cam to step up

Who best fits these qualities, is available, and for the right price?

      No one way to do it, it does appear that with the bigger draft picks of the last 5 years…..majority haven’t steered clear of young QBs on the roster being their hopeful guy. Especially past their rookie seasons but even some the biggest ones have had it early.   As far as Andy Dalton, the two young guys he has “mentored”…..have had very rough NFL starts.  Which really ask the why the heck is Dalton here.   He doesn’t really check any box.  No young potential.  Can’t step in and win.  And his mentor track record with Fields and now Bryce is bad

      I had thought the Panthers might let him play out his contract this year and hope he stays healthy. If not draft a left tackle and move Ekwonu to right tackle.

      Frankly, if most teams in the NFL lose their starting QB for a significant amount of time, they're screwed. The fantasy is that one has a future Tony Romo or a Nick Foles that can carry a stacked team. The reality is that you might get roughly 3~5 games out of your backup before it all falls apart. Remember all of Peyton Manning's backups? Utterly terrible. Speaking of backup QB's, Raiders may need one. https://www.nfl.com/news/raiders-qb-aidan-o-connell-suffered-fractured-wrist-in-preseason-finale-expected-to-be-out-6-8-weeks
