Nate Davis. Pure and simple. Deep bombs, scrambles, and interceptions. What we've been doing so far hasn't worked so SOMETHING ELSE!

The draft pick is our best bet. Unfortunately we have a lockout year and many top prospects won't declare. So we are screwed again. This team is not only bone headed. They have just plain bad luck...

No, they'll draft a Qb no question.
yep they go QB #1

That's the way I'm leaning at the moment, but I'd start him after the bye week. No point in throwing him to the wolves, we've got Carr to use as cannon fodder.

Preseason mode. Everybody has to fight for PT.
Carr never sees a snap again, put Davis or Troy out there. Fire Sing. promote whoever to interim, it doesn't really matter.
We'll prob win 4 maybe 5 games max this season. With that said, start looking NOW at who you want your QB to be and who you want to coach him. The entire coaching staff needs to be gone. Everybody. This is the worst prepared team in the NFL so all must go. We'll need a vet QB next year so that we don't Alex Smith our next QB and send him to the wolves too early.[/quote]
I was talking to a buddy about this exact thing. Get a savey vet that can start the season and if your rookie QB proves he can take the job, so be it.

Too true, and I'm sure the new CBA will work out in such a way that we're the last team to be yoked to a debilitating first pick contract.
If it weren't for bad luck....

Yeah might as well. Plus Smith will probably miss sometime with injury.

How do you fix this mess?
All the players that are worth anything save them for next year ie: Gore no more..the Rook and Westbrook. Get the young guys in there to get better. New Coach, Sing is really bad we need G

1. Leave Carr in Carolina
2. Put Smith on IR
3. Make Nate the Starting QB

I agree, we do have bad luck, but I think more guys might come out knowing that their going to put in a rookie cap. There's still going to be a draft whether there's a CBA or not.

Honestly, i don't care anymore. Just tank the rest of this season and not f**k up our draft position. And draft a new QB and get a new HC. F**k it.

win enough games so we get the 12th pick in the draft with sing as draft scout and take someone who can't jumpstart a NEW rebuilding project...
we should win every game from now on, but my suggestion is more likely to happen
