Teddy is currently at a 15.4% pressure rate this season, which puts him in at 5th best. This puts him in the same cohort of some really good QBs in Brady, Rivers, Rodgers, and Brees who all boast a 13.9% pressure rate or better. 
 

Teddy’s release/wind up isn’t necessarily the fastest or tightest. Our line isn’t necessarily the best grades pass blockers in recent memory. We are in the bottom third of the league using play action. We’re not lighting up the league in rushing. So what’s the cause of this low pressure rating?

Joe Brady. Brady has the Panthers use more west coast passing concepts than I have seen since Cam was drafted. For those unfamiliar, the WCO is about ball control through “extended handoffs,” a euphemism for shorter passes.  This allows you to get the ball out quickly and put the ball in the hands of your best playmakers. The passes are predicated on easy and quick to read progressions that have blitz alerts built in them.

 

What this results in are high passing yards, high completion %, an efficient passing attack and best of all, low pressure rating. So next time you want to complain that Teddy doesn’t throw the ball deep (he does) or we throw the ball too much (we don’t) just remember all the years we’ve run run punt or given up a huge sack on 2nd and short. Remember the times you’ve heard “it is what it is” and “missed opportunities” and know that our young offensive coordinator is just firing up and is only going to improve as the year continues.

I was looking at this stat earlier.  When you see it you think the line must be giving him time to throw, but we have one of the worst pocket times in the NFL at 2.3.  So it must be Teddy getting rid of the ball quickly.

which explains his dinking and dunking that he gets so much crap about. Teddy can't throw long....because he doesn't have time to.

Teddy has been a solid middle tier QB this season, which is good enough to win some games. The only people in the entire NFL fan base that rag on Teddy are the scorned lovers. 

Teddy is the kind of QB that could win you a Super bowl with an opportunistic defense. Look at how the team won their first game - defense was forcing turnovers. The offense didn’t capitalize on the opportunities with TDs, but that’s the formula for winning games with Teddy at QB

      OFFICIAL 2026 Undrafted Free Agent Thread

      By strato · Posted

      Yep. I was hoping for and calling for a day three guy. But I didn’t research the position to say if we should or should‘t have jumped at a particular guy at a particular spot.    And everything I read said it was a poor draft for RBs depth wise. I guess when Seattle takes a backup RB in the 1st, that kind of backs that up.    I definitely think we should keep 4 running backs and if King can play well enough then keep him too.    I believe I heard Canales say we are a running team (talking about drafting a WR he will be needing to block as well as catch). Well if we are gonna be a running team by identity we don’t need to stock the WR room to overflowing. If one room has to sacrifice, it should not be the RB room given our circumstances.

      Dan had a great draft

      By outlaw4 · Posted

      If there's a pattern I'm definitely picking up from Dan and company is a philosophy of making trades where we try not to sacrifice the number of draft picks we have by day's end. In other words, we're not giving up three picks for one, or giving up a future pick to make a pick today. And even if we give up something at the start, we make trades later to make up for that initial loss. Here's how it stacked up for 2026: How we started: 19, 51, 83, 119, 158, 159, 200 How we ended: 19, 49, 83, 129, 144, 151, 227 (no future picks sacrificed) Ultimately, we moved up two spots in the second to ensure we got someone we coveted, gave up a few spots for our fourth round pick, but then had better picks in the 5th (and got really good value out of them), and had a worse 7th rounder which isn't that big of a loss anyways.  At this point, we can question who they draft, but they're pretty good maneuvering across the draft board.
