no one is going to want to trade for Teddy either.  We just need to forget that thought.  Teddy serves one purpose.  A backup QB.  Teddy only made sense in Carolina as temp solution because Joe Brady was installing a new offense in a COVID season and had less time.

If we can get Stafford for a 2nd then hell yeah. That would be a STEAL.

I like Pitts a lot, but in that scenario I'm taking Darrisaw if we have him evaluated as a legit NFL LT. We'd like to have a TE, but we NEED a LT. And in terms of positional value, LT >>>>> TE.

Yes.  If we could somehow land someone like Stafford and still hold onto our first this year, we would have to seriously think about taking the top LT still available.  That or Surtain at CB.  Both a glaring needs.

Agreed. LT and CB are our two needs at premium positions if we address QB

For those balking at a 2nd, what are the chances a qb in the 2nd is better than Stafford? 1%? Stafford is 32 years old, not 50. You could easily keep him playing at a high level for the 4 years you'd have a rookie qb under contract for (assuming 2nd rounder). Then save pick 8 for a bona fide stud non-qb that could be a fixture for the next 5 years. I'd be surprised if he goes for a 2nd but we would be fools not to give that.

Just release him if you can’t trade him. We still save $8M. $18M if we trade him or somewhere in between if we agree to eat some of the guaranteed salary. 

That’s what I don’t understand people keep saying we are stuck we Teddy. No we’re not if you have to cut his ass damn it’s that easy if no one will trade for him

Pre-June1st it's a $20 million dollar cap hit, saving us only $3million

Post-June1st it's a $15 million dollar cap hit, saving us the $8million

Post-June, no one is FA is going to be worth it, so you might as well hold onto Teddy through his 2nd season and let him either take hits for the future starter if he's a rookie, or serve as a backup in case something happens.

Well, a $3 mil savings is still $3 mil would could roll towards 2022 rather than pay a guy that won't see the field(hopefully). 

If we don't make a trade by the draft I think he's the starter day 1 unless we get Wilson. Which isn't a bad thing. Let him take the hits for the young kid, and get a good draft pick for a final year that could spring board us into the playoffs.

      Does anyone actually think Bryce will actually be good?

      By CRA · Posted

      And I have been a big XL guy/fan.  He know doubt was drafted because he fits a role that is in all the Os Canales has been around.  my concern is Bryce, and it’s probably not a talent issue on this aspect.  Just a QB DNA thing.  I really think Canales and XL pair best with a gunslinger/risk taker.   You want to limit gunslinger with the run but then need the QB to go downfield aggressively.   Bryce needs to simply play and be more aggressive downfield.   Which is easier said than done if not wired that way

      Let Rod Walk

      By kungfoodude · Posted

      Agreed. People who say this are of the same ilk as "WE GOTTA GET RID OF RICHARDSON SO WE CAN GET THE NFL SHIELD OFF THE FIELD." How is that working out now?  Rod can stay as long as he likes and keeps fielding one of the best teams in the NHL. He does need someone on the staff that understands goalies. That has always been a weakness for him.

      Do I want Bryce Young to be a good QB? Yes, the Panthers homer in me is rooting for him to turn it around against all odds and prove all the haters wrong.  Do I think Bryce Young will be a good QB? No. And the odds are he won’t be. I didn’t think he’d translate to the NFL from the moment I watched him against the Texas defense in 2022, a game Alabama only won because Quinn Ewers got knocked out of the game. When he faced pressure he looked like sh*t and that’s the exact same QB we saw in the NFL. He’s too short to step up in the pocket so you have to design a gimmick offense to allow him to improvise plays. He didn’t scream “first overall pick” to me at least.  Meanwhile CJ Stroud played out of his mind in the biggest game of his life against the best defense in college football and the Panthers said nah we’re going to draft the 5’9 guy who couldn’t carve up an average Texas defense.
