Inaccurate! At the end of the day, Teddy won't be getting 60 mil from us! Furthermore, paying a low-risk higher-reward type of QB 2 million is a far from Bridgewater's salary and circumstance! If we keep Teddy in 2021, we'll have to pay him near 23 mil. If we let him go, we'll be on the hook for 20 mil. If we ride it out and ax him next offseason (which has been the presumption for most), we'll only be on the hook for 5 mil.

He's still young, not saying that ALL kids are so naive! He's young, inexperienced, and still trying to find himself and his way. Not saying that this is the case, but I wouldn't be surprised if he was brought up in an orthodox type religious setting! Sometimes that causes people to deal with the secular world in an extreme manner.

He should have the money! I figure that two mil should be enough to make it all go away. As for the allegations, it's some creepy stuff! If true, it sounds like he was deeply concerned with keeping up the front of his public persona, so much so that he loathed the thought of being associated with prostitutes, and unfortunately "mistaked" professional masseuses and instagram models with call girls. Dude didn't want to admit who he is and just dwelve into the dark side.

On that, we should all be able to agree!

LOL. Honestly, it takes a certain amount of energy to keep arguing with people who try and twist your words every which way, call you a troll, and my favorite was someone telling me they didn't like me (not Varking, but someone else in this thread that I have ignored) all because of disagreements over football. I think it's telling when people resort to personal attacks instead of just staying true to the issue at hand. That being said, the ignore list is very freeing in many respects. More people should try it!

At this point, Florio may be right: Watson should consider settling! I know some guys would still balk at the Panthers trading for him in the event that that happened, but I'd consider it (even if I wouldn't exactly jump at the chance). Watson would surely be a choir boy from then on...right? If not, he better step down in class of services!

They shortened the preseason. You don't think that's a good trade-off. They were probably useless anyway, granted we'll never know how much. I guess some fringe players might be affected, but how many times do they end up playing, much less effecting the game, anyway?

That's in life, not just football. Just sayin'.

As a matter of fact @Varking, I'll beat you to it. You're now on my list!

You think I give a poo about whether I'm on your list? Put me on your damned list! I am not trolling anyone, you fool! I am supporting a valid opinion. I don't want Teddy more than anyone else, I just realize that we may be stuck! I was against his contract, but crying about it all season long is not really productive. That's your shtick!

We tanked because J.R. was more worried about the NFL shield than his own team! Show me any time where a top tier franchise tanked their way into excellence. Pittsburgh didn't do it! The Packers didn't do it! The Patriots didn't do it! Let's go down a step! Neither have the 49ers! The Ravens? No! The Seahawks? No! GTFOutta here with that bullsh¡t!

What's lunacy is you believing that we're going to purposefully tank. That's the highest tier level of poo right there!

Simms said that Mond is a better pure passer than Lawrence!

No you don't. I'm not usually wrong at all! If you weren't so busy stroking your sensitive ego, you might learn something.

It's the height of naivité to think that we're going to purposefully set ourselves up to lose! That's not in a professional player's or coach's DNA that turns out to be a winner! Period!

Yeah, what you're doing us saying that we should set ourselves up to lose in consideration of draft position. That's NOT what winning organizations do. Period! That is NOT a realistic alternative, nor will it ever be! A cookie for being right about Teddy! The only thing I ever said about Teddy is that I didn't mind us giving him a chance because what's done is done. What I've also said, from the very moment that I learned about his contract, is that I was surprised at the amount and the structure! So you're basically talking b.s.

Good! Atta boy, youngster! If only your football takes went just as well!

Try to put whatever lipstick that you want on the pig, inherent in your thought process is us purposefully tying to play to lose--to tank! That's not going to happen! If we're going to go down the drain, it will be the old-fashioned way.

And you're wrong about me being wrong, per usual.

We're on the same page!

My day is great! I suspect that yours aren't considering the same old tired modus operandi you use when someone challenges your b.s.

I do find it pretty disingenuous of you @stbugsto try and insinuate that I don't know how important stud QBs are though. That's not even an argument.

You're entitled to your opinion!

Yeah, whatever with all your dramatics... I have been as consistent as anyone saying that Lance will take time to transform into a pro. I have consistently said that all he needs is development (as any QB transitioning from college) and reps! I stand by it. There are no reservations, no pontifications and no vacillations!

Not that I fully disagree, but we don't know if he could be the long term answer. There are some things to like about him. "...Minshew has started 20 games, compiling a 7-13 record. His NFL production has been respectable if not overwhelming or eye-catching. Minshew’s posted 37 touchdowns, 11 picks, 7.2 yards per attempt and an only-0average 93.1 passer rating. "Those stats can be deceiving, though. Jacksonville has fallen on hard times since their 2017 squad pushed the Patriots to the brink in the AFC Championship. They lack playmakers at too many positions to even count, which was the main reason they finished 1-15 this year and wound up with the first pick in the draft. Minshew has a strong rapport with the underrated D.J. Chark, but there’s no true WR1 on their roster. Truth is, he could have done a lot more with a receiver corps as stacked Carolina’s. "Some of the advanced stats suggest Minshew’s a diamond in the rough, too. According to Pro Football Focus, he had the NFL’s third-highest passer rating against the blitz this season. In addition to being sharp against pressure, Minshew is far more accurate than his completion percentage suggests and his on-target throw % was among league leaders all year. "On film, Minshew has a gorgeous deep ball and plays the position fearlessly, if a little reckless at times. His aggressive instincts are worth encouraging though, especially after the checkdown parade we just witnessed from Teddy Bridgewater. "Overall, his game is still a bit raw. However, in the right situation Minshew could have a shocking breakout type of season similar to the one Josh Allen just had in Buffalo. "Minshew would be a grand bargain from a contract perspective, as well. His total cap hits over the next two years come out to less than $2 million, which means Carolina could easily make room for him without having to move Bridgewater and his ill-conceived bridge QB deal. Even better, dealing for Minshew might only require one mid-round pick." https://pantherswire.usatoday.com/lists/panthers-quarterback-trade-options-sam-darnold-jalen-hurts-gardner-minshew/ In the sense that there will be a QB given up on too early like a Drew Brees or Jim Plunkett, depending upon your situation, you can't stop looking for him.
