If you want a tougher perspective...

For those who'd rather see a Panthers writer take a tougher perspective on the topic of Teddy Bridgewater, Alaina Getzenberg has your back.

Until Teddy Bridgewater learns how to win, the Panthers are stuck

It doesn’t all fall on one player or one aspect of the game — the Panthers put themselves in a tough position in a variety of ways — but being able to trust a player with the ball in his hands with the game on the line is a signature of the best franchise quarterbacks.

And Teddy Bridgewater has yet to do so. In seven of nine losses this year, the offense has had the ball with a chance to win or tie the score in the final minutes, but came up short. For a team that keeps losing and improving its chances of picking in the top 10 of the NFL draft with an opportunity to pick a quarterback, continuing to fall just short is noteworthy.

So if teddy just delivered on half those opportunities, we'd be a playoff team. 

That's tough to fathom

 

Eh, if we can translate our high draft pick into a top end qb, it makes a huge difference. Forum dramatics aside, the nfl is a league of razor thin margins, both in game and collectively through the CBA. 

Other than against tb, we’ve very much been capable of winning games. Couple the influx of rookie starters, the new coaching staff and a preseason denied plus a preseason in flux, it’s a positive trajectory.

There was a quote thrown out in the game about how we’re in a streak Of  0-20+ when trailing in the second half

The thing about trajectory is this- as soon as gravity takes over, the trajectory begins to arc in the opposite direction- negative trajectory. And the gravity, in this instance, is the QB.

Oh yes, gravity’s rainbow (incredible book btw). In furtherance of the metaphor, agreed;  we need someone who can handle carrying the weight of the world on his shoulders.

    • Saw this show up in my new feed. Nice to see a couple of our rookies making it into the top 5 so far, even if it is a pff measure... From https://www.pff.com/news/nfl-top-15-rookies-week-9-2025 ... 4. TE Mitchell Evans, Carolina Panthers (78.7) Evans struggled in the Panthers’ tight win over the Packers, finishing with a 41.8 PFF overall grade — third worst among tight ends this week. He was not targeted in the game and played only one snap in pass protection. He did log 15 run-blocking snaps, and although he earned a 68.9 PFF run-blocking grade in zone looks (seven snaps), his 39.0 mark in gap schemes (second worst for the week) dragged him down to a 46.6 PFF run-blocking grade overall — sixth worst for the week. Despite seeing zero targets over his past two games, Evans still leads the Carolina tight end group with a 74.3 PFF receiving grade. He has caught all nine of his targets for 90 yards, six first downs and two touchdowns. Evans also leads the Panthers’ tight end group in PFF run-blocking grade (72.2). He has recorded a 20.5% positive play rate across 175 snaps.  5. WR Tetairoa McMillan, Carolina Panthers (78.6) McMillan had a better day against the Packers, recording four catches for 46 yards. Most of that production came in the first quarter via two 16-yard catches — one of which he snatched from Carrington Valentine’s hands, who was in perfect position to break up the pass. McMillan accounted for three first downs on the day, although Green Bay was able to limit his impact after the catch, holding him to 0.8 yards after the catch per reception. McMillan now has 41 catches for 558 yards — a top-15 mark. He is also tied for second with 19 explosive gains of 15-plus yards. Three of McMillan’s catches against the Packers came between the numbers, bringing him to 22 for 318 yards and 19 first downs (tied for second most) this season. He owns a 26.1% threat rate and a 76.6 PFF receiving grade between the numbers. He also ranks in the top 10 in explosive gains (10) and yards after the catch per reception (5.5) within that area of the field. 
    • At least we don't need to hear overreacting about towels ...
    • Actually there is, try being a Charlotte Hornets fan. I mean the team fuging moved at its peak and hasn't recovered since and that was 25 years ago
