"It's crazy because I didn't actual envision this start, my mom did. About a year and a half ago, two years ago, she called me, and she was like 'I had a dream that you were playing with the Panthers.' I was with the Colts still at the time so I'm like 'really? That's weird with me being in Indianapolis at the moment.' And life has just come full circle. Her dream came true. Mine did too today."-P.J. Walker

Good for PJ.  He was fun to watch.  I don't think he will be our starting QB when Teddy can go, but I enjoyed watching him play.

He definitely won't be our starter. That would be hurney basically admitting he made a mistake signing teddy. Something like that may get him axed

I don't know if Hurney has any say in that.

The one question I still have from today though: One minute Teddy was playing, and then another he was inactive. I'd love to know how that played out.

Igo said Tepper, Hurney and Rhule were all in on the decision. I'm not a fan of that. That should be the coach's call. Front office and ownership should stay the hell out.

Still, I can't help wondering if somebody made a decision and then somebody else overrode it. If so, who and why?

I look at it this way.  We gave a guy a chance to be our backup QB today, and he made a statement.

If another guy gets a chance, earns it, give it to him.  But at least today we saw someone who could come into a game over the next few years and at least give us a chance to win.  And that's a good thing.  

Truth be told though we already have a solid, consistent backup.

The problem is that he's currently our starter.

backups shouldn't make 20 mill a year.  

I'd agree.

For the moment of course, he's our starter. That could easily change next year, and probably should.

I wouldn't say that our quarterback of the future is currently on the roster though.

He absolutely will have a say in it. Rhule apologizes when he gets coaches fired.. He'd not gonna throw hurney under the bus and start PJ. You can't sign a qb to that contract and bench him and keep your job. Hurney knows that

And you'd be wrong. But not the first time on here

Rhule, Brady, etc are all high on Teddy and PJ didn't show anything realistically here that would require intervention by someone.  Teddy's contract is also very clearly a bridge contract so if PJ had been "the answer" he would get a shot.

Rhule has also said that coaches who are only there for X's and O's don't succeed. He wants "control of the program" (per his words).

And speaking in general, not just about Rhule, I hate when front office and ownership get involved in coaching decisions. I don't want Tepper to be Jerry Jones.

      Jabrill Peppers Available

      By Proudiddy · Posted

      I’m not mad at Moehrig.  He’s great at what he does.  And to be honest, a lot of my favorite safeties in our history were box-first type guys - Maxie, Minter, Mike Mitchell, Chris Harris…  they’re first and foremost objective was to put people on their backs and coverage was secondary.  There is a place for that.  There is a definite need for that.  Physical guys that set the tone.  So cool, we have that in Moerhig. But what we have lacked for the vast majority of our existence is a true free safety that cleans everything up on the back end.  Sometimes they come in the form of a JOAT, like Peppers.  I think he would be a fantastic compliment to Moehrig’s strengths and weaknesses.  If we don’t go after him, I certainly hope Ransom is given the chance to grow and develop in real-time with real game reps, because what he did in preseason was very encouraging to see.  I hope he can grow into that roaming center fielder with a little bit of an edge to him as an enforcer as well.  He has the tools.  In the meantime, adding Peppers would only help.

      Everything revolves around Bryce This Year

      Option 1 is most likely. Even if he kills it this year, it wouldn't be prudent to rush an extension for one good season. If you have to pay him more because you waited another year, then he earned it. And that's OK. Adjust accordingly.

      Cam had the advantage of having a very strong supporting cast his first 2 seasons. Things definitely worsened later on. But those first couple of years can kill a QB. Some never truly recover. If they do recover it takes years, and usually with another team. Trying to learn to be an NFL QB with TEs and WRs that are trying to learn too is a recipe for disaster. Imagine if Cam's rookie season was that 2014 offensive squad. Changes everything! I said it when they moved up in 2023. This team wasn't ready for a rookie QB yet. Anyone that thinks Stroud would have been a lot better is delusional. The correct formula is to build a strong team and then you go get your rookie QB. Not the other way around. BY is going into his third season and we're still trying to put a respectable group of WRs and TEs around him. I think they have the right personnel now. Unfortunately they haven't developed into actual NFL players yet.  This season we should expect consistency and aggressiveness from BY. Mostly for his development but also to DEVELOP his young cast.
