Tua Tagovailoa

Draft Tua. Draft Herbert. Pick the QB you like best and roll the dice now. Now, not when TB is old. Not when the XFL guy has his chance and it doesn't pan out. Now. And if he is a bust, then go draft another one. Keep drafting QBs until you have a star.

Is the scenario you describe realistic?  What odds would you place on a QB competition between Teddy and Tua?

I'd say the chances are exactly 0%.

Why do folks burn so much time and energy on "I wish" and "I'd rather" scenarios that have 0% chance of coming to fruition?

PS...it's perfectly clear a number of folks are absolutely pining for Teddy to fall flat on his face.  They will end up eating a whole heapin' helpin' of crow!

I would say 90% on Teddy and 10% on Tua (unknown health) if Teddy plays as well as he did last season. Teddy wasn’t brought here to compete for a starter job. He was brought here to be the starter. It’s not a Matt Flynn vs Russell Wilson competition. Teddy vs Tua is more Alex Smith be Mahomes. Tua gets at least a whole year to be healthy.

That's not guaranteed.

It's almost a guarantee not to happen.  Virtually 0% chance the Panthers have the worst record in the NFL in any remotely plausible scenario. 

8-8 ain't gonna secure the #1 pick!

I have no idea what their record will be to be honest.  There is still to many things that have to take place before the first game kicks off to say one way or the other.

Clearly the experts with the cash have an opinion diametrically opposed to yours.

Question, are you pulling for Teddy to fail?

Do they? $20M a year average for a QB in today's NFL is pretty much chump change and we were probably bidding against ourselves. The experts with the cash are gonna draft Tua in the top 10. Teddy didn't go top 10.

I don't have to root for Teddy to fail. He's going to do what he's always done. Manage the game and not turn the ball over. He'll be as good as the team is. He's not winning or losing any games himself. The bad news for the Panthers is that the team probably isn't going to be very good.

If he drops to 7 you take him.

he can sit behind Teddy for 1-2 seasons. Teddy is really a 2 year contract.

people wanting to wait forget if we win 7-8 games,.. are not getting your wet dream QBs from next year. 
 

so you take the QB

Is it?  Chump change?  Currently there are two #1 overall selection QB's age 30 or younger who can't sniff a contract even close to what Teddy secured.

To your point, it will look like chump change when people come to understand how good Big Time Teddy really is.

Therein lay the beauty of having a guy like Tepper as owner, he truly understands how to ferret out steals that the market is undervaluing. 

No QB has ever won an NFL game by himself.

I advocated at length for the Panthers to retain Cam, and I still think they should have.

That said, Cam is in the rear view mirror, 100% irrelevant at this point.

Rhule's Rules rule.

It's Teddy Time.

Haters gonna hate...

I think it might be the perfect scenario for us if Tua is available. He can sit behind Teddy and slowly learn the offense. If Teddy struggles, then you have Tua. If Teddy performs, you could trade him to a qb needy team. 

No Tua or any other QB at this time!!

If we take Tua or Herbert, it will speed up the rebuilding process. We can start building elsewhere (defense). If we pass up on Tua or Herbert, we are going to have to tank some games in order to have a chance at Trevor or Fields next year. It could cost up future picks.

    • 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
