In an interview with Sirius NFL Radio, Freeman said that he has upcoming visits with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, St. Louis Rams, Jacksonville Jaguars, Detroit Lions, Seattle Seahawks and the Carolina Panthers.

wasted trip.

he will go too early.

that depends on a lot of things...one if we trade peppers we could get him,or if cutler is traded that means all the QBs fall..if we sign some FA its possible.

do we want him?

do we want him?

The Panthers and their fanbase? fug no, Jake Delhomme will QB here til he's 80 years old. As for Josh, he could end up being the next Daunte Culpepper. He shares alot of similarities to him.

You're predicting his career will be ruined by a devastating knee injury against the Panthers?

i think he has more skill than matt moore..the downside to freeman is exsperience and he will get that here because fox will sit him for a year or two

[Delhommey]

I like Freeman. I love him if he drops to the second.

?? It's usually good for rookie QB's to sit a few years. They usually end up being more successful than if they are just thrown right in from the beginning.

josh freeman will be the best qb of the draft when all is said and done. I dont think the panthers will be able to get him with our pick but i would love to have him. He is not the next daunte culpepper but more the next steve mcnair or warren moon

[magnus]

he's a decent prospect who gets a little too much hype because of his arm.

Any junior prospect at QB to leave early carries extra risk. He's still raw, but he's got a lot of potential as an actual passer (something that I don't see in The Golden Calf of Bristol or White, who a lot more people know). But he'll take time to get with the NFL game.

First prospect I've heard to show up here. Guess he'll go anywhere...without us having a first round or high second round pick I don't see his desire to work out for us, but maybe he's either realistic or expects we'll get a draft pick from somewhere. Right now I see his hype starting to boil over to where he goes top 20.

Even though we've made it obvious that we want Jake long-term, I think we're simultaneously looking for his replacement. We've been reported to be heavily interested in Pat White; now we're looking at Freeman. Both of these guys seem to be projected around the 2nd round (White wasn't until his combine and pro day), and I know teams cover all their bases, but it seems we're targeting these guys early.

I think there might be a little more competition at QB this year. I just have a feeling.

you think he could also be the next jamarcus russell? similarities between the two have been pointed out for years and it hasn't been size as the only comparison and they haven't all been favorable, either.

i can see culpepper (pre-injury, with good receivers), or big ben.

i could also see a project like russells has become taking a couple years to get into the groove of things (that is assuming that russell is getting into the groove).

for him to be effective right out of the gate is going to have to take him getting into just the right situation (something russell did not do).

jets seem to be drawn to him pretty heavily as do a couple other teams.

i don't see QB being the immediate concern that several other positions are. next year has some pretty decent QBs in it. unless he falls to the 3rd or 4th (incredibly unlikely) i don't see us getting him. it would cost too much to get him without him being a sure thing.

Jamarcus, and his agent stepped on their own dicks by holding out his rookie year and not signing until mid September. His first year was a total loss. Then he's stuck in the Raider organization with coaching changes and everything else. Player, agent and team have combined to retard what may someday be a great career. Too early to tell. In an optimal situation things would probably be much different.
