Our QB situation? Could be worse, I suppose...

Deadspin posted this slideshow yesterday of where they feel each team ranks according to their QB situation.

https://deadspin.com/ranking-where-all-32-nfl-teams-stand-with-their-qbs-fr-1845973927/slides/2

No surprise that the Chiefs, Bills, Cards are ranked high. Green Bay and Seattle in the top ten? Pretty solid opinions there.

But let's go to the bottom of the list, shall we?

28. Jaguars
29. Broncos
30. New England
31. Jets
32. Washington

Carolina came in at #22. Not in the top half of the list, but in some ways that's not totally unexpected, considering last March we didn't think we'd be competitive in as many games as we ended up being. Deadspin's take on Teddy is:

Quote

The Panthers thought they were solving the position with Teddy Bridgewater, but that just ain’t it. He’s been mediocre at best, accounting for only 15 passing touchdowns to go with his 9 interceptions. The Panthers aren’t winning - they missed the playoffs, and head coach Matt Rhule has been clear that they will evaluate everything this offseason. That, however, is easier said than done when Teddy B will cost them $20 million in dead cap if they were to move on this offseason. It looks like he’ll be back, and that’s not a good thing.

Compare that take to Deadspin's opinion on who our other option was last March, with this about the Patriots:

Quote

They tried the Cam Newton experiment, and that’s been terrible. They have Jarrett Stidham, but apparently they don’t even want to get him on the field to see what they have. I don’t think they have any idea what they’re going to do at quarterback next year, and neither do I. Draft, maybe?

I don't know the answer to this:  leaving the salary cap/contract situation out of the discussion, since we definitely had to do something money-wise to help our future....   how would we feel about the Panthers if we had kept Cam and he had the exact same performance playing for us in 2020 as he had in NE?

Honestly I would rather not have an answer next year vs the gun to our head to play any more games with Teddy. The only way we are at a positive is if Teddy is a great mentor to a rookie. Otherwise we have a way too expensive backup.

      We joke about how the NFL has a script for the season. But maybe it's not a joke?

      lol, that second part is quite literally one of the dumbest things ever. Having or not having guaranteed contracts has absolutely nothing to do with how much these billionaires have to pay.  Because there is a hard cap and a minimum cap spend requirement, and teams either use their cap or roll it over to use it all the next year, so the owners have to pay the same amount of money in the end no matter what. Having fully guaranteed contracts in the NFL would only hurt salary cap management, and thus would end up screwing over the team and its fan base when teams kiss on signings as they take up cap room that is needed to improve the roster. Look at the Browns with Watson, they gave him the fully guaranteed deal and all it’s doing is sucking up massive cap space now.  If they hadn’t done that, the owner would still be paying the same amount of money each year as that cap space would still be used elsewhere. If you want to argue for fully guaranteed contracts because the players deserve it, that’s an entirely different argument and a fair one to discuss.  But anyone against fully guaranteed deals isn’t doing it to argue for the billionaire owners.

      NHL Draft 2025

      Ryabkin could be the steal of the draft, he was a Top 10 pick heading into last season and had a rough year.  Lots of GMs passed on him because of that and his workouts. Pick has really high upside and Svech should be able to translate Rod tearing his arse a new one for making dumb plays since Svech has had several years of it.  🤣😂
