Tajh Boyd was seen as the perfect option for the Carolina Panthers to obtain a depth quarterback in the mid rounds of the 2014 NFL Draft, but selecting the Clemson passer was seen as an unattainable luxury -- especially given the team's other needs. According to one report Boyd is heading back to the Carolinas and will meet with the team tomorrow.

It's unclear why Carolina would look at the a quarterback now, especially given how well Derek Anderson is playing paired with a promising preseason from Joe Webb, but one area Boyd has on the two is age. He's 23-years old, plenty young enough to learn inside the Panthers system and it's safe to assume after the signing of Stephen Hill that there's a chance the team simple believe the Jets can't develop their skill players.

Realistically it's a long shot he'd make the practice squad, only by virtue of currently having three passers already on the roster. That's putting a lot of eggs in one basket and doesn't leave much wiggle room for injuries, when they occur. That said, the opportunity might be too good to pass up. The Jets tossed Boyd after a mediocre preseason, but they've hardly been sages in quarterback development over the years.

The one thing I don't want to see is Boyd come on board as par of another Armanti Edwards-esque mad science routine. Many analysts believed he needed to switch positions pre-draft, but there's simply no time or reps that can successfully convert a quarterback right now. As a passer though, he might be worth a chance.

UPDATE: Joe Person reports there are no plans to sign the quarterback, so it's a "wait and see" situation.
