Oof that was painful...

...I was not trying to make a definitive statement..

Your not wrong about this being basically the same as last season in terms of trying to salvage a broken QB. Its boom or bust and we busted last season. I get frustrated with people that post here that are overly critical... its the friggen offseason in Pandemic Season 2 here.. lets try to look at the upside...

I agree he was a high upside low downside QB. I think the biggest reason people arer upset are for 2 things that are not his fault. 1. He was the QB following Cam. 2. He got paid more than what people felt he should have. The team threw a dart on him and it didn't work. Its the same situation we are in this year with Darnold. Taking flyers on high upside QB's is always worth it.

To be fair to Teddy he never lost us games.... he just never won them either..

Amazing interview

I still think of the waive of emotions watching the Arizona game when TD broke his arm...

I could only imagine.

I still remember the 2008 game vs the Bucks. Where we racked up 300 yards rushing.. I was watching that game with my buddy who is a Bucks fan and it was the best time.. it birthed one of the best stiff arms ever..

A twist on the JAG's post.. Obviously the SB years will be top moments for people but what are some of your favorite/most impactful memories you have as your time as a panther fan?

Your posts on this site are painful. You must get off on this kind of stuff...

I forgot about Nick Goings (great pick guys) He was a dude buried in a loaded RB depth chart that only ever produced.

I agree. I considered him in my JAG list but I mean he was a starting QB in the NFL so IMO that disqualified him. But I loved his 'averageness' of him. He was always the QB you wanted to upgrade but good enough to make some plays.

I got 3... Brad Hooooooooooover... nuff said. But his in your face, smash mouth football was fun to watch. Probably why Im so excited about Tremble James Anderson (LB): I always appreciate his play. He was always over shadowed on the depth chart with Beason, TD and Conner but I thought he played very well. Kris Magnum (TE): Never had a major roll but I always thought he played hard and contributed to the run game.

Put aside draft status, who was your favorite all time NON SUPER STAR players?

After staring at Pitts all draft season Ian looks like an o-lineman

... other than the fact that DJ had to stop running.. I do like that we have a clear leader there now and that allows guys to try to grow with Sam.

Its called optimism. IF Sam works out, this is a HUGE win for us.

The biggest issue that I had with Teddy is not his stats, he had basically 3, 1000 yard receivers, but that he just was not aggressive enough. I hate giving player demeaning nicknames but Teddy 'Check down' is 100% accurate. I dont really know what another year here would have solved. He was an accurate passer and ran the offense effectively but he didn't have that 'it' that won games. I think that with his skill set Teddy could have a very good and long career as a high end back up .. if he chooses to.

This is mostly true.

Hmm my bold prediction... - Shaq Thompson doesnt make the pro bowl but is in the conversation for DPOY - CMC comes just short of 1000/1000 again. - DJ Moore is top 3 in yards - The MVP of the d line is Brown - Darnold has 8 come from behind games this year. Including a game where he put up 45+ points. -

Typically you don't turn the QB position over as frequently as other positions but considering that we have made minimal investments in that position Im actually ok with turning the position until we hit.

The Huddle did crap on Teddy pretty hard, probably harder than we should have. And Teddy walked into a tough situation. The team let go of fan favorite Cam and there was no way that he was going to fill those shoes. Then covid happened and he had to try to lead a team with no offseason and a new coaching staff. That would be tough for most players (not named Tom Brady). But despite everything that was stacked against him, he proved himself to not be clutch in the "make it or break it" moments. I was a Teddy fan all season, but towards the end of the year, with the ball in our hands at the end of the game there was just no confidence that Teddy could win - and he proved he could not. So yeah we poo poo'ed him hard but the change needed to be made.

Refreshing and real article from the team.

DJ sure looks like Smitty out there.. And Damn CMC just always looks fast! Im excited about this group.
