The final weeks down the stretch of the season Tepper and Rhule both kinda lost their patience with playing their cards close to the vest by trying to keep talking Teddy up. Both made comments strongly suggesting Teddy wasn't the guy.

I'm starting to wonder if Teddy has a bit of a RG3 thing going. Likable, but doesn't take coaching very well. 

The quotes from Rhule about TB toward the end of the season made it seem like they were frustrated as hell with him, and not just his performance.

They have to bare some of that responsibility.  It was either your idea or you allowed it.

Last year should have been a rebuild year, period.  Anyone who thought Teddy was a good use of resources was wrong, and anyone who allowed it was also wrong.  At the very least it was a 3rd rounder and a $40m dollar mistake.  When its all said it done you could probably make an argument it was even more.

Paying a guy and expecting him to be anything more than what he has consistently shown in the recent past is just gambling and wishful thinking.  Its how you end up with Matt Kalil contracts, and now Teddy.

Yeah, they do. But at least they're not so hard headed that they can't realize their mistakes. Mistakes are gonna happen. Well ran organizations realize them and adjust course. Dumb ones double down and try to slap together bandaids.

Totally agree, trying to force something to work would be the worst thing we could do.

Shade? Maybe. I get the gist of the post, though. Tepper is ready to move on, as its pretty much came out whenever he speaks on the QB position. 
 

Teddy is a vet. He’s not going to be on as long as a leash as a rookie or one/2 year player would. He had his opportunity, and he didn’t perform or persuade the front office and coaches that he was the guy. I’m glad the brass has noticed, and they’re looking to move on quickly. Again, Teddy had an opportunity. He just didn’t capitalize. I’m excited about the prospect of someone new getting a shot.

I took it as it’s possible. John Ellis has said the same thing on his twitter, something along the lines of it’s something to monitor. 

Gantt talked to Fitterer about the quarterback spot. Fitterer said he hasn't even had a chance to evaluate the existing roster yet.

We're talking about advanced strategies while the team isn't even out of the starting gate yet.

Feels like the owner and HC are leaning towards the current QB not being the answer.

Deciding you are going to do something is the getting out of the gate, the next part is deciding how you are going to try and run and the race, and that is somewhat fluid.

I'd be willing to bet Fitty's been thinking about our QB situation damn near non-stop since he was granted an interview.

It's crazy to see this whole situation unfold. This is not the Richardson Panthers, that is for sure.

Edit:The bottom pic is supposed to be the first one. 

This is from Voth, so yes, I’d say getting a qb is going to happen. Doesn’t necessarily mean Watson, but one will be on the roster.

Hmmmm....interesting. I wonder if Voth knows something we don’t know?

That’s crap though. I’m sure he was asked very pointed questions about what his vision of the QB position is during his interviews. He wasn’t hired without him and Rhule and Tepper being on the same page regarding the most important position on the team. There has got to be a plan, or at least a unified vision of what to do moving forward.

I don’t know if you’re familiar with John Ellis on Twitter but he’s said something similar. He was posting highlights of Watson’s career and someone asked if he knew something. He the mentioned he had a source that said this situation is something worth monitoring. He’s not going to lie, but that doesn’t mean it’s going to happen either. I don’t think this is just some fan made speculation.

      I have more faith in XL improving than I do in Tmac being a true number 1 recuever

      PFF raves about our draft. The best class in the whole draft?

      By DaveThePanther2008 · Posted

      Round 1. TMac arguably the best WR in the draft Round 2. Scour ton mentioned as a possible 1st round edge.     Texas A&M did not use him the same way Purdue did. After the 2023 season he was listed as a first round grade. I believe had Texas A&M used him like they did at Purdue he never makes it out of round 1. Round 3 Princely Umanmielen, we'll go by Princely.  Another highly graded player we got in a lower round. As the video suggests, even if he plays only on passing down it's a positive. Give him a couple of years to develop a he could be a three down player.  Round 4a Etienne IMO a huge upgrade over Blackshear. I can see him in a similar role as CMC without the heavy workload. He can run in between the tackles and has some shifty moves. Give Canales some flexibility. A fellow huddler pointed out UGA running backs don't see the field if they cannot pick up the blitz. Really good pick. Round 4b Ransom a hard hitting safety that has played three different positions on defense. Great pick Round 5a Cam Jackson a massive NT in round 5. I believe a solid rotational pick in a lower round. We added a beast that could make offenses quiver when he's lined up with Brown. Great Value  Round 5b Evans This is another player that can block and has good hands. He also had better seasons before 2024. As a rookie he's probably leaps and bounds better than Ian Thomas. I think he gives us a three headed monster at TE.  Round 6 Horn Jr. Many believe he's just going to be a KR/PR player. I believe there are going to be packages for him to get on the field as a WR. His speed with TMac and Thielen in the slot could be special. I'm really looking forward to seeing him in training camp. I've watched some film and he is very explosive.  Overall I love our picks. I honestly believe all of them will contribute this season. I don't believe we reached on one player in this draft.  This weekend we get a small look at these rookies

      You joke, but hasn't basically the whole team been in Charlotte this past week together? I'm not one to see the random dumb stuff players put out on social media in the offseason and think it means that's ALL they've been doing and not working on their game.  But it's a little strange that all this is coming out at the same time we're seeing tons of stuff with the team in Charlotte together, even if it's just working out and not even official team OTA's or anything. So he gets a pass from me saying anything now, but if he doesn't show clear improvement this season, it then opens him up to some retroactive criticism for some things.
