your mind is made up it appears. There are many options at play for us. Just going to have to let it all play out.

what are some of the many options outside of moving up in the draft?   I concede other teams have there own version of Teddy B that they too want to get rid of because they aren't the answer. 

I just think in the end, Carolina likely could of played the PR aspect of Teddy better.....that way we could of rolled with him if needed.  I view rolling with Teddy as better big picture option than bringing someone else is isn't a long term solution.

No disrespect, but there is about 1480712389 threads on this forum discussing QB options. To avoid having the same conversation, I'd suggest checking those threads. There are some really good inputs in those threads. Here is one to start on:

If another long-term solution isn't on the table I'd gladly take another average QB who at least has the potential to be explosive/work some magic. 'm not saying I have an answer and I trust the FO to do their jobs and find someone, but if it's another year of Teddy that will be very, very disheartening to see. 

With respect to PR I agree 100%. I've said it in other threads but after how things have been handled I don't know how the team could attempt to trot him out again with any semblance of positive sentiment.

None taken.  Again, I conceded other teams have Teddy's.  Who would are just as eager to part with them as we are our Teddy.  We already pay a Teddy to keep a spot warm for the future.  

Point I am largely making is Carolina this offseason is doing a poor job with the Teddy PR.   If bad PR is why Teddy can't be the dude in 2021 you paid him to be.....and that would have been the best big picture option?  Seems like an easily avoidable problem and one we created.

Meh, we will play musical chairs with another backup QB before bringing back Teddy. He has no future here. It will be fun seeing some of the dead weight on this roster getting dumped this year. KK, Teddy and I bet a few surprise moves. Exciting times.

my issue is simply the money.  We paid Teddy too much.  I don't want to pay another version of Teddy (that happens to throw it downfield but is just pointless in the grand scheme). 

but I'd rather watch paint dry than watch Teddy play football.  I'm definitely more a fan of the Delhomme/Cam mindset for a QB.

Teddy has a 20 million dead cap hit next year. 

Hurney magic.

I get that. Then again, not much they could do after the failed trade results came out. Rams were pretty blunt about their QB situation to the public and they were still able to offload their QB. TB isnt going to be hard to bake into a deal, especially to a team with cap space. He is a one year rental with a small dead cap hit if (when) cut next year.

If we miss on a better option then the money doesn't matter. June 1st Ted and sign another backup with the leftovers. Its a matter of movement. You can't keep a 'winning culture' if you do what already didn't work. Keeping Teddy is equivalent of not trying to win next year, even if the other had bad odds at least it is trying. This pot is going to get stirred.

      Drafting X is like the poster board for mistakes. Hopefully, lesson learned.

      By TD alt · Posted

      Yeah, I could jump right into the unbelievable Bryce debate now that some people are trying to flip the script because Bryce Young has, at most, a handful of decent games as a pro, but that's going to work itself out. Suffice it to say that I've seen better QBs (with an s) in a Panthers uniform, and I've certainly seen better QBs be drafted while we're playing around with Bryce, one of them who beat the crap out of us already this season... Let's forget about Bryce (and his markedly underwhelming play since he's been here); I think that most sane fans will agree that drafting him was an error, but it happens. Sure, it doesn't happen to the tune of King's ransom---including your main receiver---but it happens. You bet, you lose. Speaking of receivers...and betting and losing... Oh, man, we drafted Xavier Legette. Yes, just like with Bryce, I've entered "the dark side." Some Huddlers were telling us from the beginning, and they were right. But, I'm not apologizing for waiting to see what a guy's got before making my decision on him. X was a one-year wonder at South Carolina who parlayed some really nice production that season, a great personality and thick country accent, into becoming a first round pick (but only in Carolina). For Dan Morgan and company, He was a big swing that has turned into a big whiff (and I can still feel the ill breeze from that one). Sh¡t happens, right? Well, not so fast. Ladd McConkey was the decidedly more polished receiver who was literally ready to hit the ground running as soon as stepping onto the field as a pro. Ladd was never the biggest guy (though not the smallest), but he was the guy that could run routes, always seemed to get open---no question---and had the same speed as X, but with legit quickness and nuanced shake and bake. But Dan chose the project. He chose the guy where the game speed looks more like a tractor trailer than a 5.0 mustang. Look, I've supported X (just like Bryce) many many a day, but no more. Now I'm not saying that I won't root for the guy. Just like with Bryce, he seems like a great kid. But as far as giving excuses for the kid, and, perhaps more importantly, waiting for some miraculous breakout, I'm done with that. I've seen enough. You don't draft a project for a project. And yes, Bryce had proven to be a project after his first season. In my mind, drafting a supposedly number one receiver that needs lots of development for a starting quarterback that needs immediate help to try and further his development is not going to lead to good things. Pick the surest guy. Or at least pick the one who appears to be the surest guy, because picking can be tricky... especially when you're too busy tricking yourself.

      The Bryce Young "Game Winning Drive" narrative needs to end

      Winning ain't gonna make my eyes lie to me. Context matters, and it will always matter in the game of football.

      That TD pass to Legette against Miami. Elite. The play where Bryce rolls right to buy time until Tet can reverse field.  Bryce pumps as multiple defenders close in.  He barely gets it away before he takes a big time hit.  Beautiful off platform throw and great catch by Tet.   The second TD to Tet against Dallas where Bryce dips and turns his shoulder in to evade the pass rusher.  Resets and finds Tet in the end zone. Dude embodies the Keep Pounding mantra.
