If we didn’t beat anyone we could have drafted Trevor Lawrence...

So Horn and Marshall were high on the Saints boards and they draft pretty well...

Yeah, his stats without Pitts were just meh...

You have these responses ready without knowing who you are taking to. I have been very critical of Darnold. I still HOPE he plays well, but his turnovers are definitely a concern. It’s just comical how you are all in on a below average guy. Norv was successful BEFORE Teddy, he did not make him a coach. I suppose you think he made Sean Payton a good coach too right? He was on teams with great rosters and coaches with allowed him to play conservative ball and still win. When he needed to step up on a below average roster like last year he could not. He simply isn’t that guy that can elevate a team and he is no longer a Panther. Go put your big boy pants on and move on or go become a Denver fan and hope he can beat out Lock up there.

Ibe, Robinson, Hartsfield, and possibly SOT or Pride being converted. We have several young options with some actually solid CBs in Horn, Jackson, and Bouye shaky FS play won’t hurt us as bad as it did in the past...

Norv Turner was successful WAY before he coached Teddy. This obsession/reaching for data is getting pretty bad... My point was if he is so great more teams would have offered more for him.

Dude....

I think the point was excluding last year and it some what exposed him. He wasn’t his “winning” self with a below average roster...

Man we traded him for a 6th round pick and still had to eat over half his salary. That tells you how the NFL values him. Teddy is ok, but not capable of putting a team on his shoulders when they need him. He is a solid backup/below average starter. Now everything I hear about him states he is a great locker room guy and team first player. I wouldn’t be against having someone like him as our backup under the right salary.

He will definitely be one...

I went into last season excited about Teddy. He was winning everywhere he played and Brady seemed to think I highly of him. I don’t think I ever “turned” on him. I think he is a decent QB/good backup. I remember arguing with Linville about not believing in Teddy (he was right). Maybe after the 5th potential game winning drive failure I kind of saw his ceiling wasn’t that high. He is like a Dalton to me. Solid, not too many mistakes, but won’t put the game on his shoulders in crunch time. He was higher in turnovers that I thought, but I think a lot of those came after he got injured. I don’t have comfort they made the right decision with Darnold. I was pushing big time for them to draft Fields to the point of annoying several people on here. I get they are 0-1 with the cost of $40 million when it comes to finding their QB. I see Darnold as still very raw where Teddy was polished and he has a higher ceiling, but lower floor because of that. He probably gives the staff more to work with (risk taker, stronger arm, and faster than Teddy), so it will be a good indication as to how well they can “develop” a QB as to having Teddy who was already developed into his max potentially IMO. At the end of the day they picked Darnold and Horn over Fields at 8 because they are high on him. He has potential and still is young so I’m cautiously excited about him and this season. I do love that he hit the ground running practicing with CMC and our WRs.

Little putting it together is BOLD indeed!

Teddy is no longer a Panther. He didn’t fit what our staff was trying to do. The conservative, check down style passes aren’t what Brady was wanting. I’m as concerned about Darnold as the next person, but I completely get fans getting excited and hoping he does well. He is our QB now for better or worse.

He is not a FS.

No 5318008?

Don’t be that guy and ruin the hype...

Also if we went by the 2 game thing, Teddy would be our guy. He looked good the first few games... Just some perspective.

Ok so he HAS been in the league 3 years, so he should have an advantage over any rookie. I get we treat him like a rookie, but I also don’t think he will be a 3 year project like some of these rookies will. When the year is over we should have an idea if he will work in our system or not. I think that seems more than fair. I’m not saying he has to even take us to the playoffs, just show he is getting better by year end and look better than he did on the Jets by a decent margin. Speaking of Jets, who in the hell is their C and how does he have a job in the NFL. Those highlights were awful blocking....

He was so small, but had a good run with us.

If they did, it would be worth it just the same.

Is Horn going to be our next great CB to wear 24? It worked out well for Norman and Bradberry!

I honestly don’t think we need him unless he comes cheap. We have a good bit of young talent on this defense that will improve as the year progresses.

Burns has never had a legit secondary behind him. He could have a huge year! Add another year for Chinn, Brown, and YGM to develop and it’s going to be a fun defense to watch. I can totally see Horn and Jackson feeding off each other!
