So, any chance we could snatch up a QB late?

Bulger is still available and I don't think are many other good options for a veteran QB still available.

I know I read a non-statement from Hurney where Darrin Gantt asked if we would go after Bulger or Delhomme still and Hurney said we haven't yet but its possible.

That's some insight right there.

Like your sig btw (to the OP).

If we ****** up one this late it will most likely be Derek Anderson because he already know's most of the formations and systems, that way if we need him to start week one he can. I don't think anyone else could come in and learn the playbook that fast with not being able to practice with the team until August 4th.

I agree that Anderson would be the most logical choice from the Panther's perspective.

But is Carolina the most logical choice from Anderson's perspective? He's been a starter. You would think he would want to sign somewhere where he has a chance to be a starter again.

I don't think Carolina gives him that opportunity except maybe in the most SHORT of terms.

Bulger is the same way, if Carolina wants a QB that they know will be the second guy but can also come in a play if need be, well sadly that guy will probably be Delhomme. He obviously hasn't played well in a long time but he has showed the capability in the past albeit in the very, very late past, but you know he wouldn't have a problem being the second guy.

I do want a VET QB presence for any questions the young guys may have and it sounded like Hurney is looking into it from his presser the other day.

One we can remove from the possibility list is Volek, he just re-signed with Chargers for 2 years. I just don't see Bulger wanting to come here and sit. Could end up being BSP again honestly.

Please not BSP, he had little starting experience coming into last year and could not give any help to anyone on the roster let alone our rookie quarterback. He was probably wondering why the hell he was even on the field.

I agree 100% that we need a veteran QB at least for a few weeks. I was never big on throwing Cam into the mix, early on, as a rookie, but considering the limited off-season he has, we'd be foolish to even consider it now. I don't know who is out that, that we think would work in this system and groom Cam. Daunte Culpepper comes to mind, but I don't know the circumstances of his UFL contract and if he would even fit in here? I would like to find somebody who is familiar with Chudzinski's style.

I'd prefer not to as well, but Matt had more starting experience and we let him walk... Volek is off the market. Besides Jake and Bulger, I can't think of any other Vet QBs with significant starting experience who would come on the cheap.

      Most hated teams

      After Bountygate and the information that came out on the Saints owners shielding pedophile priests in New Orleans it will forever be the Saints numero uno for me. FUG THE SAINTS! I hope this is just the beginning of a long term period of suffering for that shitty organization run by even shittier human beings. #2.Pats/Belicheat #3. Falcons (Mike Vick years then Matt Ryan/Julio running it up) Ryan pooping his pants and 28-3 def makes my bad days always better just thinking of those. #4 Pretty much any franchise fan base thats obnoxious Steelers, Eagles, Bills, Jets, Giants, Cowboys, etc.

      PFF Best Rookies so far: Two Panthers

      By BEASTfromdaEAST · Posted

      Thank God DM used that #8 pick on a bona fide WR1 and not some bum pass rushing prospect like Stewart or someone else. I believe Tet is legit WR1 material and going forward will be our long term answer at that position since we desperately were in need of one once they traded away DJ Moore.  Tet could possibly end up even being better long term than someone who I respect a ton as a WR in Moore. Evans has been a pleasant surprise and great TE/FB depth piece going forward who could make the most of his opportunities.  Any good offense worth a damn in the NFL has 3 TEs that can do multiple things and being scared by Ian Thomas play for years should makes us all appreciate what Evans is quietly doing as a ROOKIE at one of the hardest positions to learn at the pro level.  Keep cooking DM. This season is not over obviously but seeing some growth out of young talent finally is a breathe of fresh fuggin air for once.

      PFF Best Rookies so far: Two Panthers

      By mav1234 · Posted

      Saw this show up in my new feed. Nice to see a couple of our rookies making it into the top 5 so far, even if it is a pff measure... From https://www.pff.com/news/nfl-top-15-rookies-week-9-2025 ... 4. TE Mitchell Evans, Carolina Panthers (78.7) Evans struggled in the Panthers’ tight win over the Packers, finishing with a 41.8 PFF overall grade — third worst among tight ends this week. He was not targeted in the game and played only one snap in pass protection. He did log 15 run-blocking snaps, and although he earned a 68.9 PFF run-blocking grade in zone looks (seven snaps), his 39.0 mark in gap schemes (second worst for the week) dragged him down to a 46.6 PFF run-blocking grade overall — sixth worst for the week. Despite seeing zero targets over his past two games, Evans still leads the Carolina tight end group with a 74.3 PFF receiving grade. He has caught all nine of his targets for 90 yards, six first downs and two touchdowns. Evans also leads the Panthers’ tight end group in PFF run-blocking grade (72.2). He has recorded a 20.5% positive play rate across 175 snaps.  5. WR Tetairoa McMillan, Carolina Panthers (78.6) McMillan had a better day against the Packers, recording four catches for 46 yards. Most of that production came in the first quarter via two 16-yard catches — one of which he snatched from Carrington Valentine’s hands, who was in perfect position to break up the pass. McMillan accounted for three first downs on the day, although Green Bay was able to limit his impact after the catch, holding him to 0.8 yards after the catch per reception. McMillan now has 41 catches for 558 yards — a top-15 mark. He is also tied for second with 19 explosive gains of 15-plus yards. Three of McMillan’s catches against the Packers came between the numbers, bringing him to 22 for 318 yards and 19 first downs (tied for second most) this season. He owns a 26.1% threat rate and a 76.6 PFF receiving grade between the numbers. He also ranks in the top 10 in explosive gains (10) and yards after the catch per reception (5.5) within that area of the field.
