Definitely going against the grain here...

...but reading between the lines I get the feeling that Rhule thinks with a year of learning on the field under their belt, proper off-season prep, a much improved offensive line, and a healthy CMC in the backfield that Teddy and Brady can get the offense where they want it to go.  
 

I know this thread will get destroyed by the “you know who they are folks,” but at the end of the day I really think Rhule knows that with CMC injured all year and the offensive line being so bad, that they haven’t been able to do the things they planned on doing with Teddy this year.

So my all in push is that this offseason Rhule and Co hit the offensive line hard and do a few more defensive tweaks and use the summer to prepare everyone to get better together as a unit and give the offense a fair shake at it. 

I just think that Rhule seems to think more of Teddy’s abilities than many observers seem to, and thinks that once he gets in place the things he wants to (because this year he didn’t have CMC and nothing near the pass protection he wants for any QB), that Brady and Teddy will do what he believes they can do.

I sensed a lot of frustration in his comments regarding the quarterback. I think the "Teddy needs to have a great off-season" stuff was because he's likely going to be competing with a top incoming rookie.

I get what you are saying...and that may well be the case...but there’s just something about the whole thing that has me thinking differently. Guess we will see in a few months...

I listened to what Rhule said yesterday and honestly think he wants anyone but Teddy. Teddy is a caretaker to bridge between this year and when the new starter comes in. When his best comment was he started out strong, but..

If you listen to his interview I didn’t get any positive vibes about Teddy at all. Don’t read the quotes, go watch it. He’s not a huge fan of his body of work in the second half of the season.

If CMC was healthy for the whole year and Teddy played a little bit better, panthers could have been 10-6, fairly easy. Could'uh should'uh would'uh tho...

I thought at max, this was a 3-13 team. In those loses 8 of them the panthers had a chance to take a late lead or tie. I think if was a normal season with OTAs, rookie camp, etc etc. We beat the raiders and win more of those close games. CMC would have helped the red zone, he had 6 TDs in 3 games. 

I look forward with Rhule, when I had huge questions about him withall the baylor/temple hires. Honestly the only position group that looked worse form 2019, was TEs. Each group lost talent, especially the DL and each group improved in 2020. Rhule also had the team ready for 60mins+ and made halftime adjustments.

I think he was real about the off-season for Teddy. I know in one game, they had a hot Mic and Rhule joked with Teddy about " You had one run and now youre tired" I dont think it was a joke anymore. Teddy needs PEDs and weight room time. He could get better and stronger. Rich Gannon did, Teddy could too.

[jdr6000]

I guess part of my thinking is that I don’t think Matt is the kind of guy that would make things so obvious regarding the direction they will be taking in the draft. And yes part of his response could be a public smack talk to Teddy that he needs to get in the weight room and toughen up but that does not mean that he does not believe in his abilities to perform at the level that he wants Teddy to perform. Like I said I know that a lot of people on this forum are over and done with Teddy Bridgewater... but I am not so sure that the head coach of the team is. And at the end of the day I lean to the fact that he is not he thinks that he can do what he wants him to do once Coach has all the pieces in place.

I definitely felt like this all year until the last few games when Rhule seemed frustrated. It’s a toss up but even if we draft a guy, Teddy very well may be the starter for the year.

I'm certainly not a Teddy fan but even objectively speakong Teddy has minimal, if any, trade value. If Carolina got anything notable, like beyond a 7th, for him I would be very surprised. Too much contract to be a backup, zero attractive ceiling for a team in search of a starter.

Maybe Teddy was Hurney's guy.  

Definitely feels like Rhule isn't as high on him.

I also thought it was interesting that Little and Grier were often inactive, could have been a bit of a power play between coach and GM.  Might want to draft his own QB.

We eat Teddys bonus and they get the backup and tutor for their young QB

They eat Carsons bonus and get rid of the controversy and we get a starter
