Teddy is a bridge QB, not the future

Recommended Posts

The money says it all. In this market, $20M/yr for a QB isn’t franchise starting QB caliber. This says loud and clear that we’re getting a QB in this draft or the next to develop for the long run.

He’s merely a veteran being brought in to be a bridge QB to mentor and help develop a young franchise QB that we’ll draft. He’s our Alex Smith. Let’s hope we can find a Mahomes. We will still surely be in play for Trevor 1st overall next year, and could very well draft a QB in the first or second this year. 

Teddy’s skill set really isn’t one to win us games with a gutted roster, it’s one to not lose games when you already have a really good team. We’re still going to suck. But he’s going to bring some serious leadership and mentoring abilities to this team to help a young QB we draft to be the future. There is zero doubt in my mind.

Exactly.  We're doing what many have been consistently saying we'll do.  There was a big change recently in the assumption Cam was staying put that may have changed the narrative a bit but this is all but expected. 

I'm staying excited.  Can't just hope for a crappy season and a top pick. 

Times are a changing people!

We're going to give a bum kneed Kyle Allen $20M per simply because he's familiar with Brady's offense and fumbles less.

That's reality.

Horrible comparison. Allen turned the ball over nearly as much last year as Teddy has his whole career. Bridgewater is a seasoned vet with many years of starting experience and time behind a HoF guy in Brees, who can pass that on to a young QB. He’s a tremendous leader and team guy who fits perfectly in this role. Basically Alex Smith with the Chiefs.

Let's watch him for the 5-6 weeks he's going to last behind our OL.

He managed to put up decent stats behind one of the best lines in football. 
 

That offensive line manages to protect an immobile 40 year old QB and allows him to put up record passing stats.

Our line couldn’t manage to protect one of the toughest mobile QBs the NFL has ever seen.

This will not end well.

Right. We’re still going to win no more than 3 games, good for 1st overall pick. He doesn’t need to be healthy to mentor Sunshine.

Really a bizarre move. If you're going to move on from Cam, you hit the full reset button and pick a QB in the top 5 next year, IMO. Maybe Panthers brass is just inordinately high on TB and think he's a 10-year plan?

    • Bryce just didn't maximize Hunter Renfrow's skills. ***rant incoming*** But this isn't just about Bryce Young mistiming passes to Renfrow so bad that he's going to get Renfrow killed or hurt, this is also about incompetentence by Dave Canales. Renfrow can still play. He's putting DBs in a blender out there---making them play twister at the top of routes to keep up with him, and dumb Dave has the nerve to cut him. How about putting Hunter in the best position to help the damned offense by appreciating his skill set, DC? You're letting Bryce's apparent inability to make an accurate throw, or at least his timidity to push the ball down the damned field cloud your judgment and miscalculate talent---or maybe just miss on talent just as much as Bryce misses passes due to playing pussified football. It's fúcking unacceptable.  Speaking of misjudgment, I don't know if it's Dan Morgan or Canales, but Eijiro Evero is not the business at DC. I have said a few times that his scheme is not conducive to run-stopping efficiency. Hell, and after watching some clips of plays, now I absolutely know why. The gaps are at least half open before the play even fúcking starts. You are setting the opposition's RBs up for success with too much damned space at the line and in the second level. If our guys are taken out in these areas---at the line and in the second level---then the defense is screwed because it must rely on the safeties to cover too much ground to make the tackle. At least put Ransom in who is motivated to seek and destroy if you're going to effectively leave the safeties on an island.  And speaking of rookies, get our two new defensive ends more snaps to see if we can't generate more of a pass rush. For all the good the continued sorry display of defense that you're putting out for fan's to see (Ejiro, Dave and Dan), you may as well get the rookies generously involved. Fúck that money we gave second-rate (maybe second-rate) vets, we need a damned spark getting after the QB. Watch it, it's just another breakdown of the sh¡t we were subjected to last week. I say this with all respect: Fúck you, Dave! Fúck you, Dan! Learn how to run a fúcking franchise. Maximize the players, regardless of what you think you're supposed to do by the book. Cut the dead weight before another season is lost and fans lose interest in September. EE is "Ew!" Or for emphasis "EEw!" /end rant
    • But nobody is saying he is a good deep ball passer.  But the facts are since he's returned from his benching, he has been throwing downfield.  Whether you want to credit the scheme, Bryce himself, or whatever, he has been pushing it deep.  Not to any positive results mind you, but it has been happening.
