I wonder how many of these rumors are started by agents trying to stir the pot.

A lot of them.

Remember, the Texans moved quickly on Nick Caserio because his agent told Cal McNair we were on the verge of throwing the bank at him.

It was bullsh-t, but all that mattered was McNair believed it.

Trubisky is waaaaay better and higher potential than Teddy ever was but I wouldn’t want those contracts combined. If we can’t score a QB in the draft or trade for Watson and can unload Teddy’s contract somehow, I’d be good with Trubisky on a 1 or 2 year deal. Wouldn’t want to trade more than a 5th or later, if trading is necessary

Really? Trubisky started half the games and still got more TDs. His completion % was just behind with lesser weapons but he had a higher QB rating. Trubisky was pulled for playing as well as Bridgewater and he didn’t have Moore, Anderson and Samuel.

I’ll take the younger and cheaper option and see if he improves with my staff over a guy who with solid weapons still underperformed. Trubisky isn’t commanding Teddy $$$ and could be picked up after release.

I’d rather have the rookie we like be there at 8, but Trubisky has already exceeded Teddy’s ceiling and that’s with meh coaching and the threat of not finishing every game.

We might have a slightly better record with Mitch but we aren’t winning a gaddamn Super Bowl with him.

You know, I wasn't a fan of Trubisky's coming out of college (at all) and through the beginning of his career in Chicago, but last year I saw a guy that I think still has some room to develop, and with a change of scenery/better tutelage, he might be something more than what I thought he could be. I was very surprised at my own change of tune. I don't know what it was, but I see something untapped, and a hunger in him to be a better player.

If he's cheap, I wouldn't mind giving him an opportunity and still addressing the position in the draft. He's got a lot of raw qualities that could make for an effective player if he could put it together.

Disagree. Trubisky has been better and has a higher ceiling. I still seriously doubt that he's the answer, but he's a level above Teddy anyway you slice it.

I’ll bite. I didn’t believe Mitch should be drafted where he was. I also don’t believe he’s been given proper tools to succeed in Chicago because it seems like the higher ups in the organization don’t enjoy surrounding their QBs with legit pass catching talent. It’s been Allen Robinson and nothing of legit concern for the past couple years. 
 

When comparing Teddy and Mitch though…Mitch can get the ball in the end zone. Teddy simply doesn’t. Mitch had more passing touchdowns this year despite being benched and missing games. Give him CMC, DJ Moore and Robbie Anderson and I think he’s numbers look much better than Teddys. 
 

The issue is you’d have to get Mitch to come here on a prove it deal, while he likely would also have to know we are drafting a QB. We might be in on him but I can’t imagine this is the location he would choose to go if he was in the mood for settling on a low contract.

I don’t know about that. Trubisky flat out struggles to move the offense. He’s more athletic than Teddy, but Teddy can at least get you in scoring position, albeit he’s absolutely god awful in the red zone. I really think it’s a push given their strengths and weaknesses. I wouldn’t want either as my starting QB and honestly I might prefer Bridgewater. And that thought makes me want to vomit.

      something to feel good about in the offseason..."could be something special brewing in Carolina"

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      Then don't tune in. It's really not a hard concept to understand, if your making your decision based on your own personal needs/feelings as opposed to what is best for the future of the franchise, then it's a you problem, not a Panthers problem. When the season is already lost, every fan should be rooting for the same thing.  The team plays hard until the final whistle of the season and keeps improving as a team and individually, but in the end, we still come up short and lose games, and preferably because the other team beat us, not because we screwed up and found a way to lose due to our own fault. Look at it this way... If we are up 1 or 2 points with 3 seconds left in the game and the other team is lining up for a FG.  Beyond the joy of victory or the disappointment of defeat, what impact does the other team making or missing the FG have on our team the following season? ABSOLUTELY NOTHING Except where we draft and what teams we play due to our finish in the division. The players and coaches on the team would have the exact same level of improvement and learnings about themselves individually and as a team whether the FG is made or missed.  The ONLY difference in the end is the record in the standings and if the win or loss number changes. If you want to argue if making the playoffs to lose in the first round or just missing them is better or worse, that's totally fair and I can at least understand the other side of it.  But in what is already a lost season, if you're not hoping your team plays well but ends up losing, then you're cutting off your nose to spite your face.  You're hoping for a moment of happiness at the detriment of the franchise's future, and in turn, you're basically then happy for a moment to only set yourself up for future further disappointment.

      If we’re eliminated I want the wins more.   The season is already a disappointment and if I’m not pulling for wins why bother to tune in?

      Two things terribly wrong with this post. First is that not one time has myself or anyone else agreeing with me said that the team themselves should think that way or try and lose for positioning.  Never once have I suggested the team should purposefully lose games, ever.  I honestly can't understand why people keep saying this in posts, not one fan has ever said the players should or would purposefully try to lose. And second, is yes, that has happened and it's happened very recently.  The 2020 Bengals were 4-11-1 and then were playing in the SB the very next season.   And while it might have been 2 years later and they didn't quite get to the SB, the 2021 Lions were 3-13-1 and then the 2023 Lions were up 24-7 at halftime of the NFC Championship game. The season between those two? They finished 9-8 and only just missed the playoffs. Which is why I keep trying to compare us to the Lions in where we are at in our re-build.  Throw out Bryce's rookie year with the Reich staff who just didn't work out and he looked god awful.   This past season when we were 5-12 in Canales' 1st season is that 2021 season for the Lions and their 1st season under Campbell.  This year is their 2022 where they grew a ton and Campbell's culture building was clear, where I'm saying we'd likely be better off in the long run if we go 8-9 or 9-8 and just miss out on the playoffs (which is still a significant improvement from last year).  Then our 2026 is their 2024 when we have a chance to be a real contender after adding a few more pieces and our key players having another year of experience under their belts.
