i know this is way to early to be talking about. but with all the talent at the QB position thats gonna be in next years draft how would you feel about trading multiple draft picks next year to get back into the first to get our QB of the future...(if for some reason we dont get a first rounder for pep)

personally i think this would be a very risky move, and would only do it if there was someone that absolutely blew all the scouts away in wokouts

If a good QB falls to us, then I wouldn't be angry taking him. However, I would be opposed to trading away picks and using our first rounder (which we don't currently have) for a potential bust. Eventually though I think that a QB with the pedigree of say, Sam Bradford should be drafted by the Panthers.

It is way too early to be talking about drafting a quarterback until we see how this year pans out. If Jake has a good year and Moore looks very good in preseason, I can see quarterback not being a top priority. We could already have Jake's future replacement on the roster and could pursue other options like another top DE or a DT if we struggle in that area or Peppers isn't here. We are investing time and money in Moore. No need to keep going after the next greatest thing like we have done over the years until we know we don;t have him already. There is no sure fire guaranteed draft pick so it always somewhat of a crapshoot.

I agree. We still have a year ahead to see how Delhomme is gonna hold up for us. QB has never been a huge priority to Carolina anyways considering we don't run a heavy pass offense kind of game. I say we keep doing what we have been doing and see how it goes. I wouldn't dare throw away draft picks for some rookie out of college whom has yet to perform in the NFL. Our QB issues aren't a priority at this time IMO.

well, we have what is it 4 or 5 more years to see what delhomme does. but yes, matt moore will be our next leader at the QB position. I was watching his game today vs dallas, trying to cure my football withdrawals, and was really impressed watching him play vs the cowgirls secondary.

So you're saying it would be a risky move to trade our draft away for one player unless everyone was more than certain that the player would be a great one?

Interesting...

I find your comment interesting... hmm...

you could be onto something.

but to many your opinion is loathed and we cannot afford to NOT invest an entire draft in a top tier QB!

oh wait, that's Fox that is catching the bad rap for your exact opinion. But I agree with your statement.

would be nice to find "the one" of the future... perhaps we have him already.

      XL could easily be the last dog at the bowl for WR production next year.  That could leave him around 200-300 yards which would be disastrous.

      Well sure, that's where the disconnect is then. If Thielen only gets 300-400 yards and T-Mac is healthy for the full season, then I'm with you guys, in that scenario there is absolutely zero excuse for him to not put up over 1,000 yards.   In fact, I'll let you double that, if Thielen has only 600 yards, then again, my expectations are for T-Mac to surpass the 1k mark with ease. But his game has never been about his physical abilities, so even if he loses a half a step, he's still the same player who is a savvy route runner who will get open and Bryce will continue to find him due to their chemistry.  Particularly since Bryce isn't a QB who forces things, he takes what the defense gives him.  So when teams focus on T-Mac and Thielen is more free to find those holes in the defense than he has the last two years, I don't think Bryce is going to ignore him. If someone wants to argue for T-Mac getting to 1,000 yards, personally, I'd say those yards would be far more likelier to come from XL and Coker than Thielen.  And that has nothing to do with XL or Coker, but that I'm still a firm believer in Thielen being able to still get 50-60 yards a game, again, particularly as he'll have less defensive attention on him than in either of his 2 seasons with us so far. Just because T-Mac is our #1 of the future who will have the ball forced to him at times, doesn't mean he needs to be forced into that role from day 1 when we have 3 very legitimate WR options next to him. Let the rookie grow into the role and the NFL game, we have that ability to do so because of Thielen, XL, and Coker.

      Spot on. He's only 20 and his height 6'2 and weight 230lbs might make him more of an off-ball LB possibility. He's a multi-year project
