...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.

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 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..

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.

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.

Trade Teddy for Wentz

https://www.bleedinggreennation.com/2021/1/4/22211517/philadelphia-eagles-trade-carson-wentz-restructure-contract-chris-mortenson-rumors-quarterback-colts

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.

I sensed a lot of frustration in his comments regarding his comments. 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.

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

Just spitballin

      Brooks RB, Placed on PUP, Out for 2025

      By mrcompletely11 · Posted

      Its completely and utterly bootlicking at this point.  If you cannot acknowledge that using 3 picks on a rb with a torn acl in the 2nd round isnt a bad pick then you simply havent a clue about football.  Sorry man it is what it is.  And its insanely laughable you are trying to strawman this argument using other players.  And what fuging facts are you bringing that is justifing morgan using 3 goddamn picks on him?  I cannot wait to hear that.

      ESPN's Top 10 Impact Rookies(non-1st Round)

      By Bear Hands · Posted

      Scourton's interviews are telling to me that it's only a matter of time before he could really put it together.  His limitation tool-wise that I see is in his bend, but at the leaner size, it looks like it wasn't a problem at Purdue.   He has a good moveset and reads leverages very well (vet level well).  Plays both the speed/quickness (great change of direction) and has a power game with good hand usage.  Moves from what I've seen in my digs: I'm seeing cross-chop, fake crossers into bull, bull rush, spin (his preferred move of choice), hand shuck.  He's not unrefined by any means.   If he can do 2 things---I'm feeling confident from seeing his interviews that we have a real dude on our hands: 1) Diversifying his moveset/how it's deployed - Over-reliant on some, but again, he has a growing palette.  And is already great with his hands so things are in-place to coach up. 2) Developing a counter moveset and starting to play the chess game with an OT - He's very good at reading leverage, knowing when to change things up during a play.  But NFL coaching should start to teach him how to really create a plan based on an opponent.  What to throw at a guy first, how to confuse with fakes/counters, etc.  How to play against these tackles as a game progresses.   Overall, he has some things that give me serious optimism: Run Defense, speed moves, power moves, he's super young and has the size/length.  When you really spell it all out, I think we should get excited.  Temper expectations from a stat sheet standpoint, but he should be able to go in and make an impact.
