The #Panthers are finalizing a deal with QB Teddy Bridgewater

Mike Tanier is one of the best & most knowledgeable football writers out there. He's the head football guy for Bleacher Report - sure, that site is sh*t, but he's one of the "prestige" writers they brought on board to put lipstick on the pig, and he puts out great stuff.

He's got a rare combination of knowing his sh*t about football and having actual writing ability. He's not from a traditional journalistic background - he was a math teacher, then a founder with Football Outsiders, and never worked a beat gig or anything like that - he's more of a generalist. Highly recommended. No Saints connection - he's an Eagles jackass from Jersey.

Either Rhule is a football genius who can win the SB with Bridgewater, or he's incredibly overconfident due to his amazing success at the college level of turning poop players into winners.

Is he:

A.) An incredible genius about to take the NFL by storm.

B.) Overconfident and about to be obliterated.

C.) Decent coach with so-so QB leading us to 8-8ish limbo for 3 years.

Just now, Move the Panthers to Raleigh said:

Motherfuger. We can’t even tank correctly. Lawrence is now out of the realm of possibility 

Oh, I don’t believe that. 
 

He’s certainly still within range, only now we will have a lot of money tied up in a bad QB, greatly reducing our ability to fill our numerous roster holes. 
 

This is so incredibly dumb.

This is more terrible than I originally thought. I just looked up the QB stats for last year. Bridgewater had an average air yards per completion of 4.6 yards, which ranks him 37th out of 39 quarterbacks last season. It gets worse. His average intended air yards was 6.2 yards, which was last in the league. What a nightmare.

For what its worth.  Albert Greer was on Cowherd and said Bridgewater knows the offense, is a good lockerroom/film room player and can help teach a younger qb the system since its complex.  Highly insinuating we are drafting someone.

 

Cowherd had some pretty harsh things to say about cam that I didnt really agree with.

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
