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!

      This draft is 2023 all over again, it's not hard to see. QB's who don't grade out as high first round prospects while at the same time, the following draft class looks to be loaded with elite QB prospects. Drafting a QB just because you need one (or making a bad trade to make said draft pick), when there isn't one worthy of that draft pick, is how you ruin franchises, just look at us right now.

      I upgraded to the S24+ a few weeks back. Very happy with it.

      LOL... Yet again proving you can't look below anything than what you see on the surface Mock drafts ARE NOT draft grades They are what people think will happen.  They are mocking teams taking QB's in the top 5 of the draft because that's just historically how drafts go regardless of the grades on the QBs.  Almost every draft expert, even those mocking QB's going high, have said time and time again that none of these QB's actually grade out as those type of picks. This is again, where I say you don't like to actually read what I have to say, because I already explained it. 2022 the exact same thing happened, mock drafts had guys like Pickett and Willis going in the Top 5 because that's just what teams usually do, but GM's listened to their prospect grades and knew they weren't worth taking that high, so they didn't. It's not to say QB's won't go that high this year, but it's to say that they aren't graded out as elite QB prospects.   And yes, I've never said I'm not a T-Mac homer. But me being that doesn't change that he will be the highest graded offensive player in this year's draft, at a position we haven't been able to solve since we lost Smitty.  Taking him makes all the sense in the world, my bias aside.
