Re: Jake's Probably out in Cleveland once the lockout ends...

I think Yasinskas from espn might be right.  Today he wrote the panthers might not seek a veteran QB.  He mentioned that having a veteran as a mentor might be overrated and Chudzinski and Shula are the young QB's mentors.  Signing a veteran would probably require getting rid of Pike or trying to put him on the practice squad.  Trouble is I believe to put a player on the practice squad he has to clear waivers and Yasinskas thinks Pike would be scooped up quickly.  I tend to agree.  We need a franchise QB.  I think it is Newton but if it is not we have 3 young QB's we need to make sure it is none of them before we risk losing one.

Re: Jake's Probably out in Cleveland once the lockout ends...

Hook, I tend to agree with you (and Yasinkas). I could see us going into the season with our three youngest guns on the team. Moore will probably be allowed to walk unless we decide we absolutely HAVE to have someone with some playing experience that involved a few wins. But then that puts us back into the same boat as last year. I know we won't go after McNabb, or Kolb, or Orton, but I can still see us making a half-hearted run at Marc Bulger. Sure, if we let Moore walk and try and place Pike on the PS, we possibly lose two guys with potential to go after a semi-washed-up veteran. But if Pickles and Newton both struggle, we need someone who has considerable time under center ready to step in. Pike doesn't have the experience.
