I don’t give two shits about high moral character and sports and people who do have it ass backwards.

No, some people can care about sports and character. And yes, if some actor I like is discovered to be a pedophile, I'm not watching their movies anymore. I don't want morally questionable people on my favorite sports team, in my favorite movies, singing my favorite songs. Sorry, but winning isn't everything. Thinking it is is actually what's ass backwards.

When the game qas on the line on the final drive teddy went 8-0  at letting the other team win. Specifically, at new Orleans this year he ran out of bounds and sat on the bench with his old teammates then took on sack on the next play, making the FG attempt almost impossible. That's sportsmanship towards your opponent...thanks teddy!

Good for Teddy! There's a chance he comes back, does great in training camp and is our starting QB for the season, possibly just at the beginning, perhaps all the way through. He's doing one of the most complicated jobs in sports well enough to be a starting QB in the NFL and somehow he's doing that without being a jerk or a nasty competitor. My hat's off to him. 

He wears our jersey, he deserves the cheers.

And as to performance last year? Let's remember this is a rebuild team with a lot of problems and new coaches all around. There's room for improvement, and the capability to improve, across the board on the team.

I love Teddy. He's a great human being, and has such a great story. It isn't working out in the NFL, and that's disappointing.

I understand the people who are upset he's not lived up to what we wanted. What I don't understand are the people who seem to hate Teddy as a person for that.

I feel like we've got so angry as a fan base the last decade, and I'm not sure why. We can be disappointed in players on the field, and even off of it, but I've never understood the malice against them as people. It has worn on me as a sports fan.

Nothing is always sunshine and rainbows, but sports use to be a place to escape this negativity.

He’s Ron Rivera for us. A great person. Easy to root for him and hope for the best but it’s clear they won’t work out here.

I actually was thinking the same thing.

Teddy is generally considered to be a great guy.

Ron Rivera is widely known to be a really solid person.

Heck, even Marty Hurney generally has a rep for being good people.

But the organization is now about winning. And while it's a shame that good guys aren't always winners, this is how it should be.

I loved Cam, Kuechly, Olsen, all the high character guys with talent. Teddy is horrible though, no amount of character in the world is going to make me like a football player as bad as he is. Teddy can cure cancer and covid tonight and he’ll still be my least favorite Panther QB in the history of the team. 

He could cure COVID and cancer and you'd hate him more than Clausen and Weinke? Seems a bit extreme but we're all entitled to our opinions. I think it's a bit emblematic of some of the Huddle histrionics. Bridgewater is a great backup, below average starter. The way some people present him, you'd think he makes Clausen look like Mahomes.

Pedophile is an extreme that’s not the point.

Point is celebrities barring extremes shouldn’t matter, they are there to entertain you. And it’s ass backwards to use them for that purpose...there are plenty of other professionals where it does matter. Looking up to athletes and celebrities is dumb.

If you listed your top 3 movies and top three songs I could rip it apart.

but hey looks like TB won the super bowl for you, congrats

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

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      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.
