Is Teddy a Checkdown QB?

That's within the system, though.

Playing in our offense, you kind of expect that.

I think it is the Teddy effect. 

Andy Reid's system is essentially what it is.  He got rid of Alex Smith because Alex Smith wouldn't pull the trigger on enough plays.  He neutered Reid's offense.  That is what Teddy is doing to Joe Brady's offense.  Limiting it.

THIS. My God I just don't get it. Why do we have to keep blaming coaches for Teddy's inadequacies?

We're a fan base that has cried foul that Brees pads stats with his dink and dunk playing style (and lots of YAC) - on his way to like an .800 record against us. 

I used to be baffled about it, now I just accept that some people will never learn.

Is this not the Payton offense?  This offense is designed to run confusing routes and though a lot of underneath stuff comes open, a lot of stuff opens up down field too.  We leave so many points out there week after week.  You have to see it dude.

It's literally Sean Payton's offence. Literally.

Teddy is their guy though....they chose to go out and get him in FA when his "inadequacies" were pretty well-documented.  I don't see how you can not blame the coaches who looked at hours and hours of tape of Teddy's entire career and thought "Yep, THAT'S our guy! Marty, bust out the checkbook".  He is who we thought he was, right?  Well Brady and Rhule were apparently the only two people who didn't know about Teddy's limitations.

Imagine being a supervisor at an office job and hiring your buddy who just got fired from his last job for slacking off.  You vouch for him to your manager and say "Boss, this is absolutely the guy for the job" and lo and behold, your team's numbers take a huge nosedive cause this dude is just deadweight, constantly slacking off.  Then you actually have the nerve to go to your manager and blame that employee when you went out of your way to bring him in and he ends up doing exactly what he has always done.  That ain't how the real world works, dude.

    • Why do you say that. What leads you to think that we, as supporters, think his ceiling is 10-12. That's a ridiculous assumption on your part. The Seahawks won the SB with Darnold passing for 25 TD's, 14 Ints with a 99.1 rating for the season.  The Panthers with Young were at 23 TD's, 11 Ints and a 78.8 rating for the season. Not that far off. The problem with all the Young discourse around here is the assumption that the QB is the sole determining factor for a teams success. That just isn't true and it's certainly not how Morgan and Tilis are building the Panthers. 
    • Do we pay based on how many wins or how many games Bryce led us to wins? We've spent quite a bit on defense this year and hopefully they're much improved. If the Panthers do get to 10 wins, but Bryce has another year like last year where he showed up big in a couple, was present in a few, and forgettable in most, do we still pay him 50m per year?  I keep bringing it up because I think it's relevant, but Bryce was outplayed by a 6m per year backup last year. I don't see how it's possible to pay a top tier QB contract to someone who's putting up backup QB production. 
    • I understand tempering expectations, but there are some issues with his points. Walker was a 3 year starter, but Green Bay let him walk and no other team was quick to snatch him up. That says something. Freeling will compete to start. With Hunter, we rotate our linemen and even 5th round pick Cam Jackson played some meaningful snaps last year. Both Brown III and Wharton have underwhelmed since we picked them up. Hunter is a run plugger that we have needed. Hunter will play early, even if he isn't the "starter." Brazzell was described as one of Canales' favorite prospects in the draft and he has a speed element we have been missing. I think Canales is going to have plays drawn up with Brazzell on the field just out of pure excitement. It will be up to Brazzell to prove he can handle it, though. If he can, he will play. As far as our secondary picks, yeah they have to earn their stripes and Evero tends to lean on veterans. So they might take time, but if they can show they can play, they will see the field. Smith-Wade and Ransom did. Sam Hecht simply has to show he can handle the mental side of the NFL game. If he can, he is in a direct competition with Fortner, who's also relatively young, but also on his 3rd NFL team and doesn't have the power profile of Hecht.  I can appreciate that Gantt wants to pour cold water on what was perceived as an impactful draft, but facts are facts.
