It's worth a phone call.

I mean, I do remember that time recently when we signed a "coveted" FA QB to a 3 year/$63M contract and signed a WR to a 2 year/$20 contract. I don't think we've even come close to that expenditure thus far this off-season.

Competition is a good thing. Looks like he also has pretty extensive special teams experience. That might be his avenue to making the team. If he can contribute as a reserve defender while also being a core special teamer that's good value. I want us to be over this crap of constantly carrying guys on the roster just so they can be a gunner on ST. Talking about the Karl Hanktons and Colin Joneses of Panthers lore.

Cool. He wasn't awful. Solid backup, marginal starter. I think this has zero impact on our draft plans.

It's because Teddy sucks at throwing the deep ball. It's almost always underthrown creating a contested catch situation even when the receiver was open.

Agreed. We'd be even more pissed at the former staff and even more aware that we essentially wasted the career of one of the most physically gifted QBs ever

I'm honestly not convinced we ever made a legit (or any) effort to actually help Cam's mechanics.

Yep. Cam was a one of a kind. His rushing TDs as a QB is one of those records that's going to be really tough for anyone to break. He has more rushing TDs than some HOF RBs.

I hope he plays well individually and helps lead the Falcons to a five win season the next two years.

It could be 2011 or it could be 2004 or 1983. One thing I'd bet a lot of money on though is that all four won't workout. Somebody is going to bust. Maybe multiple somebodies. But you gotta trust your evaluations. Fear of drafting a bust is a terrible reason to not draft a QB.

I think there's a very good chance that four QBs go before #8, but I'd still be shocked to see them be the first four picks. If Pitts is the BPA on our board when we're on the clock at #8, I hope we try to trade down.

Honestly, some footwork mechanics isn't a huge flaw. Kinda like how few WRs come into the league with a full route tree, few QBs come into the league with flawless mechanics that won't need some refining.

LOL Two Yard Teddy distorts his own stats plenty well enough.

Inspection came back good last week. A few minor things we had addressed. Appraisal came in $14k over contract price. It's gonna be a go. The mountain views are a bit different than my previous Colorado mountain views but still quite pleasant.

Challenge accepted. My entire D is gonna be within 10 yards of the LOS every snap

I wanted James sooooo bad.

I can't stand Wilson either, but he stabbed the Wolfpack in the back? Those idiots tried to flex on him and force him to quit baseball.

And you won't. That would be tampering.

Helluva prospect. Zero desire to draft him due to desperate needs at positions of much higher positional value.

Call me a communist all you want, but when you're being blatantly racist and homophobic that'll get you banned real quick.

I can't see him being traded until there's some clarity on this situation.

I'm all about not throwing good money after bad with Teddy.

It's like I said when we signed Teddy. Teddy is purgatory. He's not good enough to allow you to compete but he's good enough to keep you out of draft contention for a legit franchise QB. Lo and behold look where we are, very possibly sitting just outside of the range for a top tier QB prospect this year. Teddy level QBs are the worst case situation in the NFL. Yes, I'd rather roll with Grier and be in position to draft a Howell or Rattler next year rather than be sitting at 5-11 to 7-9 range again next year and once again wondering how in the fug we're gonna find a QB.

Teddy as the fallback plan is like calling the rocky landing at the bottom of a tall cliff a safety net. If that's your plan it's already over.
