This... and I wanted Teddy to succeed b/c he was the Panthers QB.  He honestly looked like he could be the answer the 1st half of the season.

The 2nd half was truthfully no better than what Kyle Allen, Taylor Heinicke, etc. could provide.  Honestly, Heinicke probably would have beaten Teddy had he been the starter the whole game instead of Haskins.

Teddy had more weapons last year than Cam ever had here, and also had an offensive line, that while not great, certainly wasn't as bad as many of the ones we "protected" Cam with.

They picked Teddy b/c he knew the system.  And Teddy wasn't awful for the most part by any stretch.

But the truth is, and Rhule knows this along with most fans, QB's are ultimately judged by wins and losses, and for their ability to make it happen when the game is on the line.

Teddy had chances in the majority of games we played, and he couldn't do it.  He was the anthesis of clutch in many respects- in many ways the anti-Jake

Jake was not perfect, but it always seemed like before he messed up his elbow that he played his best in the 4th with the game on the line.  Jake could be shaky, but you had a confidence he could pull it together when it mattered.

Teddy really is the exact opposite.  He played his best ball when the game wasn't on the line.

I truly believe Teddy could be a playoff QB if we built around him and things generally went well.  But Teddy doesn't appear able to elevate the team, and he certainly doesn't look like a QB we can win a SB with.

Tepper & Rhule don't want to be stuck with a guy like that

piggybacking off Jake being brought up.

Jake was a gambler.  I mean you could tell Jake to take the check down.  You could drill him all practice.  He might try to do it.  But everyone and there momma knew.....you couldn't stop  Jake from chucking it to 89 deep in double coverage.   QB DNA.  

That's Teddy in reverse.

Rip Scherer tried.

It didn't go so well.

      I don't think it's any weird or unique clause, it's the offset language, same thing so many contract disputes are over. It just means that including it, if a player is cut and then signed by another team, the original team would be able to subtract how much they're getting paid by the new team from what they still owe him on their guaranteed money. For example, it's why Russell Wilson signed for the minimum last year with the Steelers as that was included in his Denver contract.  So if he signed with the Steelers for $1 million, he'd get $1 million less from the Broncos, if it was $2 million, he'd get $2 million less, basically he couldn't make any more money than he was already going to make, so you sign for the minimum to not take unnecessary cap room from your new team while giving extra cap room to your old one. The problem with trying to include it in rookie deals is that a team trying to include it, it says they think they don't really believe the player will make it 4 years with the team before they cut them.  And this usually comes up with one or two rookies in most seasons, the difference is it's usually handled much more quietly and not as public and ugly as this one. The other difference is that it's happening with the Bengals, which I believe I saw are one of the few (or only?) team that doesn't have protections for rookies in rookie and mini camps to be able to participate even if they haven't signed their contract yet.  The other teams have injury protections that allow them to still play, but the Bengals do not, which is also why this one is so public and ugly, as most the time this happens, the rookie is still participating in the rookie and subsequent mini camps, giving them more time to get the contract done before training camp when they'd then hold out.
