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.

      shough vs tmac off rookie of the year

      By MasterAwesome · Posted

      Ok fair to judge only his starts.  But you do acknowledge that going from "he's waaaay above league average in a number of categories" to "here's a single stat where he's above league average (not "waaaay") and another where he is exactly at the league average" is a pretty significant backpedal, no?  I'm guessing he's probably in the ~10th range for completion percentage too if we're only looking at starts (I'm too lazy to isolate his starts and do the calculations), so I'll grant you that one too.  But I don't think completion percentage is all that meaningful as a standalone stat if it isn't bolstered by good TD%, Y/A, etc. On that note, for how much people like posting Passing Charts in here (*cough* CRA) - if you peep Shough's passing charts, he hasn't completed a single 20+ yard pass in the past 3 games combined.  His last one was in Week 13 against the Dolphins, which was a single pass of 24 yards.  I just want to be consistent in how we apply our standards - I think it's always been warranted to criticize Bryce for it (even dating back to his rookie season), but do we suddenly not care about that with Shough? And yeah I did acknowledge that Saints' fans have reason to be excited about him and complimented his poise, which is giving my props.  Still not sure I agree that he looks better than a "ton" of QBs nor do I think you or anyone have really demonstrated that.  I think you are generally one of the more reasonable level-headed posters which is why I'm confused at what I consider to be rather hyperbolic language about Shough.

      The Case for(or Against) Drafting/Signing a TE

      I don't disagree with you, but want to point out that Tremble's strong suit has always been blocking. Case and point: on Horn's 25 yard run, he lays down not 1 but 2 nice blocks...and is looking for #3! https://www.panthers.com/video/jimmy-horn-jr-s-25-yard-run-gives-panthers-red-zone-access-on-first-drive

      It is a popularity contest.  The selection does have meaning though. It is also 1 of the criteria that is considered for the HOF. The game does not have any significance. The team hasn't been to the playoffs in nearly a decade. That's why they don't get primetime national coverage. To the victors go the spoils.
