Still rebuilding?

Tepper strikes me as a results now kinda guy. Even when he was saying it was a 5-year process, I didn't really think he would be that patient. I think he expects a winning record in 2021 and playoffs thereafter. I also think no one in the building thinks Teddy is going to get us there. I don't sense any kind of panic, but I do think Rhule learns from his mistakes and knows he/Brady/whoever made one with Teddy and wants to quickly rectify that.

Biggest thing for me is that going after Stafford wasn't a "process" thing.

We reek of desperation right now. Desperation most often times results in poor decision making coupled with even worse decisions trying to mask the poor ones that were previously made (ie hanging on to Ron and Marty to long, signing TB, extending Shaq and Not Bradberry). 
 

Our owner, as a hedge fund manager, should know this.

Tepper may have talked the talk about being patient but we've shown borderline desperation at the QB position this off-season. The reality of Teddy being what Teddy has always been evidently really caught us off guard. I have no idea why, but as an organization we seem really shook by this.

I don't know what it is about this team sometimes. Many times us fans on a message board could've made better decisions that the ones that played out. Something about being here in Carolina raises the egos of everyone in charge and blinds them.

I have no idea how we missed the Teddy evaluation so badly. Many of us called it pretty much exactly how it would go because there was ample evidence available that Teddy was a low ceiling utterly risk adverse QB who somehow still has a pretty bad TD:INT ratio. He throws an average amount of INTs while throwing for a significantly below average number of TDs.

With Marty Hurney...

"This is gonna take a while, maybe up to five years. I ask you to trust the process."

Scott Fitterer takes over...

"We'll offer you the number eight overall pick, our fifth rounder and Teddy Bridgewater in exchange for Matt Stafford. What do you think?"

    • I'd hold on to Walker - we have no OT depth at all. Freeling is a block of clay - all the tools are there and he appears to have a great attitude. He needs serious work on his technique to realise his potential though.
    • From my watch last night: They weren't trading out of 19 unless it was a daft offer once Freeling got there. They were clearly antsy to get Hunter - and Minnesota actually called to offer the trade down. They weren't trading out of the third round pick once Brazzell fell to it (and Canales would have been happy with him in the second round). They traded back a lot on Day 3 - even if Morgan 'Babe Ruth'd' it with Lee, Hecht and Wheatley; they clearly weren't the only guys they would have taken at those picks. I'm curious to know which player caused the reaction at the start of day 2 (Dan Morgan): "of course they'd pick him"
    • Watching this confirms that this staff and front office is super high on Monroe Freeling. I wouldn't be surprised if he's gotta a real chance to win the starting LT job in camp. If he does, we can look to flip Rasheed Walker to a contender desperate for tackle help.   As for Ickey I still really like him and wanna extend him but based on how the staff was talking about Freeling it might be time for ickey to start taking some practice sets at guard if he wants to stay here as we are gonna have to have figure out a solution for the contracts of Lewis and Hunt.  My preferred scenario for the Oline in 2027 is Freeling-Ickey-Hech-Lewis-Moton.
