Seriously, it's time to give Walker an honest look

In clutch situations Teddy has been terrible. Today he shirked all responsibility for a terrible miss in the end zone on what should've been a game winning TD but instead left our best WR injured. Plain and simple - Teddy isn't the answer.

Walker almost certainly isn't either, but he showed intriguing tools against the Lions. He's more talented than Teddy. Give the guy a chance to show what he can do when actually given the opportunity to prepare as the starter. Use that late game injury Teddy suffered as the excuse if you don't want to publicly bench him.

There's nothing to gain by continuing to trot Teddy out there. You've seen all you need to see. There's nothing to lose by giving Walker a real shot.

No, let's not. So let's give him an honest chance to prepare all week as the starter. The second one was a route miscommunication. That stuff happens a lot more with QBs and WRs who haven't had a chance to work together much. On the first one I think he just didn't see that defender.

Yeah but he also was dynamic....and our 20 million dollar bum threw a redzone int today as well.  At least we scored on offense and PJ can make throwns on the run that Teddy B never will and he probably hits that bomb at the end of the 2nd as well.  We would have scored more then 13 points with Walker today...it would have been a dub.

Considering all the good he did as well let's at least give him more than one game to prove that take. Teddy's already done more than enough to prove that he is not an answer either.

Sunk cost. You have to view him as a $3M player next season. He has a $23M cap hit and $20M in dead money. I think there's a pretty decent chance he ends up playing wet nurse for most of next season anyway.

      I would write “give remmers tight end help” on a yellow sticky note and stuck it in shulas playbook the night before superbowl 50.

      Nothing wrong with it at all until you start telling others they are bad fans or not fans. But you are the good fan because you never say negative stuff about the team.    I did many years of that type of uninformed fanning because there really was no info and coverage like there is with the internet.    I mean, I used to go to the store and get Street and Smith’s annual football issue. That was about the extent of what you could get if you didn’t live in a big city with sportswriters covering and reporting.  There was no video to look at or replay the games and if you didn’t live in the market you could only rarely see your football team play.    TI have fanned since being a kid in the early 1960s, and as late as 1995 - ‘97 I lived in Atlanta and good luck getting more than 3 or 4 games a year on TV. No radio either. No print coverage outside of an AP recap and box unless they played Atlanta.  People today that have always had the network connection don’t know.    I wasn’t very educated about the Panthers until I finally got internet.
