As I have said before. I just want someone behind Teddington so I can quit worrying the coaching staff actually thinks he can be the franchise QB. As long as that doesn’t happen I will be worried he will be here after 3 years. 
I like Walker but he isn’t an NFL starter. Once teams get film on him he’ll struggle, like Kyle Allen, who has a better arm than Teddy. 
I hope they get their QB this offseason because if not I may be done with the Panthers for a while. 
Hard to support a team when I can’t stand the guy under center. If it wasn’t for Teddy I probably wouldn’t have any problem with them winning a few games down the stretch. But every win lowers our draft stock and makes Bathwater potentially remaining here that much closer. 
Because let’s face it. If we don’t get a QB this draft we will likely not get one in 2022 or 2023 unless we pay big and move up in the draft. 
Of course we could still have things go badly for us and be devastated by injuries and go 2-14 next year. Kinda like the 49ers. Who knows.

Fields, Lance, Wilson. Honestly, I don't care. I just hope the one we like best is available for us.

And that's the worry. People just want a QB because they don't think Bridgewater is the guy.

There's no way Lawrence, Fields, Lance and Wilson all pan out. It just doesn't happen that way in the NFL.

Lawrence is off the board for us. Fields probably is too - but he's also only started for a season and a half, which is a worry.

So you're left looking at Lance, who terrifies me as he's dominated an awful level of football for a single year - he's a massive project that ideally you take in the third round based on measurables. Then Wilson, who I need to see more of, but I'm less enthused than I used to be. 

Then you throw in Jones who's getting first round hype and Trask who should probably win the Heisman at this point.

Six first round QBs? Mental.

Teddy isn't the answer, but I don't want any QB. Read what I wrote carefully without your previous bias altering your comprehension of it.

By why not Kyle Trask?

A- plays better competition 

B- has better stats than Joe Burrow at this point 

C- not an unknown small school player. 

Probably fundamentals. Watch his throwing motion.. something about it is weird to me. Dan has a great track record with QBs though (Dak, Alex Smith, etc.) but remember The Golden Calf of Bristol as well. Phenomenal college QB, bad NFL QB. I'm a MSU alum so I watched him take 2 star Nick Fitzgerald and get him on Heisman watch lists

A MSU fan myself. Mullins really can develop a qb. Hail State!

There's serious questions about how well his traits transfer to the NFL. In the Florida games I've watched, there have been a receivers winning a bunch of 50/50 balls.

Motion reminds me of a mix between Wentz and Andrew Luck. It's a bit of a long windup like Wentz, but the second half of the throw looks like when Luck would throw.

I don't know what to think about him. I think Wilson is more accurate with a stronger arm and better mobility, but I think Trask could run our offense well. He does a lot of quick hits and reads to his receivers but airs it out every once in a while each game. From what limited film I have seen, his receivers (Specifically Pitts) are better at receiver than he is at placing the ball. He throws quite a few 50/50 balls up for grabs for his receivers to get, not a ton of hitting guys in stride. 

I'll look into him more at a later time.

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      For starters, and again I am not sure what his capacity is in the media or how connected he is to the team, but I posted above Al Wallace says he is "absolutely" getting 50+ a year and he deserves it.  I obviously strongly disagree with it but it feels like like season when the team is slow leaking info to gauge the temp.   Secondly nobody on Gods green earth is going to sign an extension making less than he is making now.  Thats just crazy talk.

      No. Physical tools alone aren't enough. There are plenty of examples of draft busts to support that. Aost all of them had the physical tools and that wasn't enough. But Bryce is a perfect example of the opposite. Absolutely elite intangibles aren't enough either. If you simply don't have the physical abilities all the football intelligence and work ethic in the world won't be enough to overcome it. Just look to the sidelines every Sunday. We call those people "coaches".

      As much as I despise Billy B, his philosophy on QBs is how I would approach things if I were a GM. You always keep looking for your next starter.  He has Bledsoe, who got injured and his backup ended up being the GOAT. Even while he had that going, he kept getting his next guy and developing them. When Brady got hurt, Cassel stepped in and went 11-5 and they missed the wild card by dumb luck. Who knows how far they would have gone if they had gotten in. Jimmy Gs career started in NE. There were others, but he always kept looking.  You can't be afraid to keep looking for your next starter, but it looks like we're afraid to look for more than a marginal one. If you're going to offer a $25m contract with incentives, that screams marginal QB. It also screams you're just a transition until we find our guy. After a 10 or 11 win season, he's not accepting that offer. And then you're in a Daniel Jones situation. Do you pay for a year of success and pray it wasn't a one year wonder?  To this point, Bryce has really produced nothing, yet for whatever reason, our FO has not even sniffed at the idea that we need a real QB room with real QBs. Dalton was never starter potential, Plummer was a joke. KP certainly isn't, neither is Grier.  Our approach to the QB room needs to be one of strength not fear. Bring in guys who can compete or who you think can compete. This is THE elite position, in an elite sport, paid premium salary, where production matters. Either you produce or you can lose your job. It's not mean, it's just the reality of the position.  And I'm really just tired of our candy ass approach to it.
