Unless something drastic happens, you’re right. Bridgewater is going to be the starter next season. Will there be a rookie as his backup? Maybe, but I’m guessing there won’t be. Panthers really screwed themselves beating Washington as we all know. 

If all the top QBs are gone at 8, Panthers should trade back and accumulate picks. Stack the roster with talent and find a QB next year. With a better team and a healthy CMC, Bridgewater might be just enough to get the team to the playoffs.

We've been so aggressively sending signals that we've done with Teddy that we've pretty much painted ourselves into a corner. We know we're done with him. He knows he's done here. The entire locker room knows there's zero confidence in Teddy. 

Pretty much.  It will be interesting to see how the manage this awkward situation going forward.

Teddy knows it’s a business. My best bet is that we draft a QB and let them compete in the offseason. Teddy will likely win, and give the rookie time to develop. That may be for a few games or the season, but he will play nice and put forth his best effort so that he can try to get a starting position on another team. Last offseason we were one of the only teams where could walk into a starting role, so he knows about competition and I don’t see him being a locker room distraction or trying to force a trade/release. at the end of the day he will still be getting paid starter money which goes a Long way to his happiness when he’s not every guaranteed to start again on another team.

This approach has been a head-scratcher for me. My views on Teddy the player are quite clear but still wonder what they've tried to accomplish with so much negative public signalling. Like, why make it completely clear we're looking QB at 8 or in some other fashion while also eviscerating any hint of value he may have had on the market with that contract.

Maybe they think this will motivate him in the scenario they can't get another QB. Still seems weird though.

Lol if you think Teddy is in the teams short term/long term plans...you are not paying attention. Missing out on paying a huge ransom for Stafford does not change that.

Watson might not leave it could very well go into the season and we won’t wait to see. Plus even if he becomes available there is no way we can afford him. So yes Teddy will be starting the season even if we get a rookie might as well face it.

I guess OP doesn’t realize that free agency and the draft have yet to happen. Who wants to tell them? 

Who else is left at qb in FA that is long term, that’s what we are looking for? So we will be drafting someone and probably none of the top 4 so yay we get to root for 2 yd Teddy.

Yay let’s when 9 or 10 games to lose in first rd and pick around 20th sounds great. Panthers will still be called mediocre.

Exactly what I was going to say. 

We’ve now publicly communicated that TB is out. Sure would be awkward to have to bring him back.

      With the first pick, don't draft a QB? Draft a DE? C'mon!

      Oh good lord Interest doesn't mean interest in making a bad trade to take the player, that's why I had such a long post, to accurately describe why those are two different things, but you don't like to listen to that stuff.  Being interested in a player doesn't live in a vacuum. It's very simple... there isn't a #1 draft pick type of grade on any of these QB's, if there was, we'd just take them.  You can't bluff a pick everyone knows you won't make, and trying to trade the pick is the CLEAR signal that you're not taking the QB. Just because the Raiders would have interest, doesn't mean they're going to bail us out of a situation we don't want to be in, they'd be smart about it and just sit put, let us take a non QB as we'd be telling the world we're not taking one just by trying to trade the pick, and then they'd take him at #2 (either with their own pick or by trading less to get that one). Oh, and your point of "if nobody is willing to make the trade, you obviously just take the best QB" is quite literally the dumbest thing I've ever read on here. If nobody is willing to trade up to take the QB, then it's OBVIOUS that the QB isn't worth taking with that pick, so OBVIOUSLY taking the best QB there is just OBVIOUSLY stupid and a bad pick. The moral of it is if there is a QB worth taking, we're taking them and not making the trade.  If there isn't a QB worth taking there, nobody is trading up to #1 to take one, we just showed the NFL how bad of an idea that is 2 years ago, it's really not hard to see. You keep making up this mythical situation where there is a QB who has shown to be worth trading up to #1 for and we'll be able to leverage that into a trade.  But we're the most QB needy team in the league, if we end up with the #1 pick, either we are taking a QB #1 or no QB is going #1 unless we get VERY lucky and two teams in the Top 5 fall in love with one prospect and we can play them off each other and fleece one of them. But again, I can't see that happening, as if there was a QB worthy of that, we're just taking him ourselves.

      Sanders is with Tom Brady brand and that's his mentor. The Raiders owner was with Sanders taking pics at a Vegas game together.   It doesn't take much to connect the dots that Vegas will be interested in Sanders as their franchise QB. Oh yeah and guess who hasa small ownership stake in the Raiders Tom Brady.   I guess this is just another made up Madden idea by me huh?

      Bro I don't mind debating you, but did you really have to write all that to get your point across.   This isn't Madden. If you have the #1 pick you literally control your own destiny. If nobody wants to trade which I have a hard time believing they won't then you obviously take the best QB.   I think we will have suitors. If that's Madden then so be it.
