Yesterday Panthers head coach Matt Rhule had praise for starting QB Teddy Bridgewater:

Quote

"No, we feel like we have three quarterbacks that can play, but right now this is Teddy’s show. And he’s played really well this camp, so we’re going to keep pushing to get better with him"

 

When asked about the backup job, it sounds like PJ has been winning with Grier just recently getting caught up. 

Quote

“I would have said through the first week of camp P.J. would have been a little bit ahead. I think Will’s battled back, to me it’s way too early to be thinking about that, yet. We’re just trying to teach these two guys the system. So one day one might look really good, one day the other might look really good, but really we’re just pointing to two weeks from now.”

 

I am really intrigued by P.J. I have not completely dismissed the idea of him being NFL starter material.

Not exactly a ringing endorsement of Teddy as untouchable by saying it’s his show “right now”. 

Perhaps if that was all the quote said. The rest of it makes it pretty clear they are happy with him and he isn't going anywhere.

Just in case you haven’t noticed.....every good coach (inc. Carroll with Wilson and Belichick /Brady) make every position a competition every year.

Brady never had a QB competition in NE in his life. Bledsoe was the clear starter until he got hurt, then Brady came in and they won and he was handed the starting job. They traded away Bledsoe immediately and not once after that did Belichick ever have a QB competition with Brady.

I think we can set Brady over in the group with Montana, Manning, Kelly, Marino, Unitas and Graham that never needed a competition. They are the outliers. Mere mortals like the rest of the world get and need some competition.

Yeah, I'm sure the Bradys, Gronks, Wilsons, Shermans, etc. felt like they were going into camp every year fighting for their job.

I'm honestly not sure if that was completely due to Belichick or if it had a lot to do with Kraft. There was plenty of rumors that Belichick was ready to roll with Garopollo and it was Kraft who pretty much forced his trade to stick with Brady.

      He's handing off play calling duties to fuging Brad Idzik as well so, either that mouth breather can run the playbook and Canales can grow as an all around head coach or it will be a horrible decision and both of them and BY can screw off. I'm fine with that as long as it isn't just another excuse for BY to get another year with another coach worthy of working around his limitations as a qb.

      Not only for Andersen but the whole team, having not beat the Habs this season before tonite.  Shows them that they aren't jinxed.

      I understand why people say things like it could be worse in relation to Tepper but it just doesn't jive for me. Are the optics bad? Yes. Would I want her to be the owner of my team? No. But I mean she's only been owner for a year and the Colts overall are a better run organization. As far as I know they've also never had the distinction of having the worst win percentage in all of professional sports either. Tepper has owned this team for 8 years and about the only thing that has been consistent has been the ability to continue to find different ways to achieve new lows. Even now people are saying things are different yada yada but we said these same things at certain points under Rhule Fitterer and Reich. I'm going to wait to see how the rubber meets the road this upcoming season before I make any strong conclusions about anything in relation to the longevity under this franchise going forward.
