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.

      Another example of Bryce playing chess that casuals wouldn’t notice or appreciate

      I'm probably one of those posters, but I make those posts because there are too many things going on that don't make sense. For instance, how does a RB that does something that hasn't been done in 14 years immediately get reverted back to 2nd string, and it takes a leadership council to make him the starter when he's averaging 3x the YPC? Your average fan shouldn't be screaming that for 2 weeks before the coach sees it. And that's one of many.  What you're seeing is frustration that we could be better, that we should be better, if our owner, FO, and coaches could do things that are so painfully obvious to even the most basic fan

      I think we're all struggling with what things are right now and what they have been. It's like getting ready to have bandages removed after a long period of injury. The healing, the new growth, they aren't going to be pretty, there's going to be some ongoing issues for a while at best and there's every chance that we're going to have to go back into the bandage situation all over again. And that sucks. But it's also a place where maybe, just maybe, the recovery is going to finally start happening. The bad days will be getting behind us.  It's not going to happen this year, but I believe from what I see that this year is showing that improvement. We focus on the QB because that's what all the pundits focus on, because it's the flashiest and most heralded position on the field. No one wants to put out a tweet about how a center is holding down their job and anchoring a line. They rarely celebrate that blocking tight end or special teams gunner. That fourth CB on the depth chart? Not a mention. And yet, those guys are the kind that we've been building here, we're building the lunch pail guys AND finding some future stars.  Is Bryce one of them? Might be a cornerstone of the team in the future as the second QB, might somehow just show out to end the season. Might flame out like many expect. But if that uncertainty is all we concentrate on, we're just going to miserably look at this team and maybe miss out on some solid green shoots that are finally beginning to poke through into the sunlight.
