I mean, it actually worked out pretty well for Miami in the long run. The pivoted from their mistake quickly. 

That's actually why some of these trades aren't a bad deal depending on what you give up. The pivot can be quick and potentially cheap.

They literally tanked for a QB and wasted it on a guy that looks like he is toast. That's not a win, its excaping a huge mistake easier.

My bad, you are talking about Tua. For some reason I was thinking the Cardinals and Rosen.

Well.....TBD if that pans out. Admittedly, they are in a good position as a team so you can't call it a disaster.

Regarding the Panthers, this from a collaborative article by several NFL team writers in The Athletic...

Multiple league sources told The Athletic that Washington and Carolina are in on most of these veteran quarterbacks. An intra-division trade likely sacks WFT, the Panthers have a connection to Wentz. Pat Stewart, their player personnel director, was a national scout for the Eagles for two seasons before being hired in Charlotte last year. However, league sources don’t view the Panthers as serious bidders for the 28-year-old Wentz, who is coming off the worst season of his career.

That first line is...interesting.

I dont see how we can cut Teddy.  I would like to see us draft a guy and then restructure his deal to a more accommodating back up price/  Maybe  tack on a couple of years while lowering the overall price tag

Missing on a top pick QB after tanking is pretty bad. It's literally the one position keeping them from making some serious noise. If they can turn him around it would be miraculous.

I completely agree about it being less worse than a big guaranteed money contract fail due to escapability but it's still a giant fail.

From that same article...

All that said, there’s a growing sense that the Panthers could head into next season with Bridgewater as the starter again. His production slipped over the final month of the season, but that dip coincided with a knee injury that sidelined Bridgewater for a game. Offensive coordinator Joe Brady is a big reason Bridgewater is in Charlotte (the two were in New Orleans together). Brady still has confidence in Bridgewater, who had Christian McCaffrey next to him in the backfield for only three games in 2020.

Yet most of you here want another NDSU product. 

Jokes on y'all.

Right, but OSUs looooong futility at the QB position in the NFL is completely acceptable.  BYU?  Okay, I'll give you Steve Young...riding out the coattails of the Montana/Walsh dynasty.

How does Teddy stay at this point? The team has completely taken him down in public since the season ended, even if only implicitly.

We can save $8M this coming season and $21M the next by making him a post-June 1st cut. Throwing good money after bad is never a good idea. That's what always got Hurney in trouble.

1.  He's under contract.

2.  He's not a pussy. 

The NFL is a big-boy league and Teddy is a mature adult who understands ups and downs of the business.

      Morgan & Canales

      By DaveThePanther2008 · Posted

      I really like the way this team is trending. Morgan and Canales rookie campaign saw them do some questionable picks but, they also did some really good things. Especially addressing the offensive line.  Young had such a disastrous rookie season where his confidence was nowhere to be seen.  You can attribute part of this to a terrible offensive line.  So, we focused on the O-line.   We then brought in several defensive free agents that were supposed to compliment Brown.  Once Brown went down those players could not hold the line.  2025 we focused on defense in Free Agency and brought in several good players.  We then added more talent in the draft.  I think we have competition in several areas where Vets are not guaranteed to be starters.  Our offensive line is pretty set with some good backups.  Our defensive line is going to be a war for who comes out to be the starters.  All in All, we are leaps and bounds much better than 2023 roster.  Canales made some rookie head coach mistakes but grew as the season progressed.  He got our QB, who was starting to look like a huge bust, playing with confidence and poise.  Now it appears Young is moving upwards.  Maybe he is a QB whisperer.  After Young started to play better our offense was fun to watch.  Morgan knows football and knows what he wants in his players.  It appears to me that not only are these players he's drafted really good and got great value for them, but they are also high motor, intense players. Our defense, in the past, was always the key to our success.  I think Morgan is building a great defense. I know it is too soon to tell but I believe we may have a tandem that will be around a long time.  It would be nice to see Morgan/Canales be in the same class as Lynch/Shanahan and Beane/McDermott.   I know many Huddlers will overreact, but I truly believe we have a tandem that will be around a long time. TIME WILL TELL. Go Panthers

      I am actually really excited about this kid. One thing that really jumped off watching his highlights was he almost is too fast or almost over pursues. You can get away with that stuff in college but the NFL these guys are stronger and more "slippery".  Little things that can be corrected but he seems to have a motor which is always a plus!

      Many teams looked at the drop-off as a reason not to select him in the first round.  Going into the 2024 season he was listed as a potential first round pick.  Morgan, IMO, based our pick on what he did in 2023 and expects him to play at the weight he played at Purdue. Morgan did this twice in this draft.  Scourton and Evans.  saw one stat on Evans that he had 58 ypg in one of his previous seasons.  Plus Notre Dame has a history of good TEs that can catch and block. Canales will 3 good TEs that all will see time on the field.
