LOL he’s got a 7 year contract. He ain’t going anywhere anytime soon.

Two 4-12 seasons in a row might change that bro

Panthers have an easy out with Teddy in 2022. He will only cost 5 million against the cap to release.

Is the plan to draft a QB and use Teddy's second year to let the rookie sit and learn? Teppers is a long term guy and that is definitely a long term plan. 

Would love that

[KillerKat]

I don't want our new QB learning anything from Teddy

[Snake]

The way this offense is running the QB might start as a rookie.

I think the plan was always to use Teddy as a stopgap. That's why we were all over Herbert last draft. 

You don't pay that much for "just" a stopgap, somebody thought he at least had a chance to be more than just a stopgap.  They can justify it, in that its not a long term deal and the overall money isn't crippling, but somebody thought they could win with Teddy.

It was a $40m gamble, so far its looking like it was a mistake.

If we were on pace to be 9-7 and Teddy was playing a little better I'm not 100% sure we draft a QB this year, are you?

They weren’t all over him enough apparently 

I was totally wrong about Herbert 

[Chief Keek]

Draft a QB, resign Moton, and rebuild the O-line should be top priority.

As long as its not Hurney.

 

He did draft Cam

With the #1 overall pick.

 

But outside that, he's drafted Grier, Pickles, Tony Pike etc

Teddy is a class guy with a lot to teach a young pro QB. Just because he doesn't have it doesn't mean he can't teach it. In fact, some of the best teachers are mediocre at what they teach. 

Lot of money for a teacher

I was wrong about him too. He went one spot ahead of us. We didn't have the chance to draft him.

I don't get this line of thinking. 

Think about position groups during the weak.  DBs have a secondary coach.  RBs have a running back coach.  

QBs on the other hand, are probably getting input from the HC, the OC, and the QB coach.  Also the QB coach only has 2-3 player to teach.  Whereas most position coaches have more guys.

QBs are the most overcoached players on the field, not sure if you need to spend $40m to add a little bit more coaching.

$40m to spend on the O-line will help a rookie QB a lot more than anything Teddy will teach him.

Come a long way from those "best qb in the nfc south" threads 

[Diehardpanther02]

God I Hope for once I go is right.

Nobody spent $40m just for a coach. They knew he was a consummate pro...he does things the right way. They knew he was familiar with the offense. They thought he would make a good bridge to the next guy. In the meantime, ask any NFL player who they learned to be a pro football player from and it's almost never a coach, it's a fellow player, one that typically plays that same player's position. If it helps, substitute "mentor" for "coach." But it has as much to do with life and being a good teammate than x's and o's.
