"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.

      Greg Cosell on Bryce Young

      By SOJA · Posted

      Bryce has been playing the best ball of his career the last three games IMO. He wasn't the reason we dropped the game in NOLA. Seattle's defense will be his toughest challenge yet this season

      Are the Panthers a "Trap Game" for the Hawks?

      By SOJA · Posted

      I'll be at the game Sunday and up until last year I had a perfect attendance record. Now however I have seen us lose to the Chiefs (last year) and the Bills (this year). So we can no longer rely solely on my ability to pound overpriced beers to propel us to a win.

      By SOJA · Posted

      I haven't been able to watch Seattle on a dedicated basis but the Seahawks are a much better team by the all accounts: eye test, record and DVOA. Defensively they are sick. Best DVOA in the league first in rushing and second in passing. Offensively their passing game has been on fire this year led by JSN I can easily see this being like the Buffalo game where things just get out of hand for us early, that being said this league really is week to week and Seattle does have the disadvantage of traveling cross country for an early game.  If and big if, the Panthers are able to effectively run the ball and limit the amount of time Seattle's offense has to generate explosive plays we have a path to winning this game.  Seattle fans won't be happy to hear this but bad Darnold is always lurking in the background. He is truly an enigma to root for bc he will have an incredible throw that only a few people can make but then will turn around and throw the most bone headed pick of all time.  I think ultimately we drop this one as ultimately it's human nature to be looking forward to that week 18 game. But man how special would it be to be leaving the stadium on Sunday with a win and a miracle dolphins upset
