The Panthers are so out of touch. They did not think Bridgewater would come so cheap...really! It still has not occurred to them that they were bidding against themselves. Bridgewater did not have much of a market because the rest of the NFL saw him for what he is - a back-up.

I remember reading that the Patriots were interested around the time that the likely signing was leaked. What a load. The Patriots quickly stated that they had NO interest in Bridgewater. Rightfully so.

I wish the Panthers would have said the same.

Apparently Cam doesn’t have much of a market either.. so.. Bridgewater is your QB!! This a defense rebuild!! Possibly draft a QBs next year!! Cuz they know it probably won’t be a great record!!

This is exactly why the Panthers should not have signed Bridgewater. I had no problem with a rebuild. I was ready to take my lumps. So why waste cap space and delay true competitiveness at least one more year.

I’m holding judgements on Teddy. I expect a much more solid offense next year with a young innovative coach, and a QB in Teddy who won’t turn the ball over (which is what killed us at the end of last season on offense, Allen’s fumbles and INTs made my mind explode.). He has also proven that he can effectively operate and win with the offense we are setting up. We have a lot more skilled position players than last year, and we are one guard away from having a solid line. Next season I think we will see the offense grow, hopefully see playmakers emerge from our group other than CMC, and if things don’t work out, we are not in cap hell because of the contract. The defense is a year away, but if we just get solid QB play and he doesn’t turn the ball over like Allen, I think we can compete on offense.

There's no clickbait about this thread - just confirming people that tried to connect dots with Brady-Burrow, and honestly, what most teams in the top-10 that need a QB probably are doing or did do.

I too thought Teddy was going to get between $25-30M in FA and was surprised at what we got him for. Doesn't speak about Teddy as much as it does him probably wanting to come here and re-link up with Brady and play his former team twice a year. 

Glad we didn't pull the trigger....seems like a Hurney move.

First and foremost I am a Panthers fan. I would love to be wrong. In fact, I would rather be wrong especially if it meant the Panthers were a true contender.

Sadly, I suspect that Bridgewater's best case scenario is a couple more wins than Allen. However, the one time a few more wins is a bad thing is when it gets you lower draft choices while you remain relatively noncompetitive. It sets you back. 

Time will tell.

TB is a game manager who makes smart decisions and is familiar with Brady's system. Maybe Rhule feels Teddy can worst case, provide a glimpse into our offense's future and best case, flourish while earning the chance to lead this team. The contract we signed him to isn't ridiculous and structured so that we have options down the road. I'm sure Rhule and Brady want to know if Moore, Samuel, Anderson, Thomas, etc. are the right guys to grow with this team. Allen and Grier made it pretty clear that they are not the QBs to help us evaluate our system/players. Look on the bright side friend. :)

What kind of production would Teddy have to put up in order for you to come on here and admit you were wrong and misjudged his ability and potential?

      Well, the Niners just doomed themselves to mediocrity

      Wanting that type of play and being okay with paying $55 million a season for it are two entirely different things. If Bryce were to become the same player Purdy has been, then he would surpass my expectations of him and I'd be okay with him as our QB of the future (and again, I've long been one of the bigger anti Bryce people here who doesn't think he is capable of being our long term solution). But in no world would I be okay with paying him THAT kind of money, paying an average starter elite money is just a terrible decision.

      I don't think they can overcome that mistake. Hell Lance was a hiccup compared to this. He isn't going to be able to carry that price tag and now he is going to have to do just that. Lol. The NFL is so dumb sometimes.

      So, one could say that T-Mac is quicker than someone of his size should be and while he might not be quite as fast as Evans in the 40, he's more athletic than Evans. If only someone, anyone, could have seen that in his tape and mentioned that on here, hmmmmmmm In all seriousness, hearing he tested in the 89th percentile in that drill at his size is crazy impressive.  Just tried to look up the times of the top WRs in the league right now, most don't show at time for that, but I did see Chase ran his in 7 seconds flat. I honestly don't know how true this is, but I do remember seeing one breakdown of his tape and the person said he has quiet and efficient feet.  That he's really good at using the minimal steps possible to make his cuts and because of that, it actually makes him look slower to the human eye because you don't see all the quick chop steps that the guys like Tyreek would use in their running. I'm still in a state of disbelief that he's a Panther and it might not fully hit me until week 1 and I see him out there making plays for us, still feels like Goodell is going to just be like, "YOU GOT PUNKED!!!  hahaha, he's a Cowboy now, suck it"
