The Panthers have a new quarterback.

The deal to make Teddy Bridgewater a Panther is done, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN, with the sides agreeing to a three-year, $63 million contract.

The Panthers allowed Cam Newton permission to seek a trade earlier Tuesday after they were deep in negotiations with Bridgewater’s representation.

Bridgewater has familiarity with Panthers offensive coordinator Joe Brady from their days together with the Saints before Brady went to LSU.

Bridgewater, 27, went 5-0 in place of Drew Brees last season, completing 67.9 percent of his passes for 1,384 yards with nine touchdowns and two interceptions.

He is 22-12 in his career as a starter.

With the market moving, that isn’t a whole lot to spend on a QB. There are enough weapons on this offense for him to be successful. The defense however, will be the problem. Let our next QB sit behind him while we “reTOOL” our defense and we might be headed in a good direction. Not excited about parting from Cam, but I think Bridgewater outplayed Brees last year.... at least late. I think we can contend with him at QB, but only if we get a good defense going. Reserving judgement til I see what we do on the defensive side.

True. I wonder if he is the building block that Rhule will take to the next level or a bridge for a rookie QB this year or next 

More than likely a bridge to a drafted QB but a good guy to have around. Not gonna act mad and throw a hissy fit like some "grown adults" on here

Hope he does well, but I wouldnt want to be the guy replacing Cam.  He has big shoes to fill.

Technically, he may not be (hence the "bridge" talk).

The old saying goes that you don't wanna be the guy who replaces the superstar. You wanna be the guy who replaces the guy who replaced the superstar.

Whoever we end up drafting at quarterback this year or next is probably Newton's actual successor.

      Bryce’s new look. He looks like a grown up

      By bandu · Posted

      take a  look around the league at other young Qb's such as Drake Maye , Jayden Daniels, Bo Nix , CJ Stroud  & Caleb Williams who at the time like Bryce Young they also were drafted by teams with a losing record .the only difference with these Qb's is after joining their teams with a losing record they led those same teams to a winning record in a very short period of time .it's simply what you call a game changer & or elite Qb's & then take a  look at  the other side of the coin you have Qb's such as Trey Lance, Zach Wilson, Mac Jones, Justin Fields  & Anthony Richardson also like Bryce Young all first round picks who instead of winning either did not play or led their teams to a losing record while playing  Bryce Young who has an overall record of 14-30 & wildly inconsistent & never in the history of the NFL has a Qb 5'10" or shorter had a successful carrer as Qb in the NFL  if anything history is telling you exactly what ?..just saying

      to me these two signings were so bad for the Panthers at the time of our young team. "Sean Gilbert was signed by the Carolina Panthers on April 21, 1998, after being traded from the Washington Redskins in a deal that sent the Panthers two first-round picks (Nos. 5 and 12) to Washington. The Panthers then re-signed Gilbert to a 7-year, $46.5 million contract extension on the same date"  The other was Jason Peters being picked in the First round of the 1998 draft. "Peter played for the Panthers from 1998 to 2001, appearing in 38 games (starting 20) and recording 88 total tackles, 7.5 sacks, and 1 fumble recovery His NFL career was cut short by a chronic neck stinger, forcing him to retire after the 2001 season
