Good Observer article on Teddy and other QB stuff

Finally got to where I could read it.

Excerpts:

The Panthers have holes all over the field, from offensive and defensive line to tight end and cornerback. Those needs have to be addressed, especially the lines, for any quarterback to come in to help lead a team to success. But there’s no denying finding a quarterback for the long-term is a key element in the NFL. It’s the reason why so many teams are in the hunt for one this offseason. Deshaun Watson’s surprise potential availability simply shifts the landscape for finding one.

...

Just a year after the signing, the Panthers are including Bridgewater in trade proposals (see Matthew Stafford) and no public support has been given from Tepper, Rhule or Fitterer for Bridgewater being the Week 1 starter in 2021.

But despite that, there’s a solid chance he will be.

...

Tepper is very interested in bringing Watson to Carolina, as The Observer has reported over the last month. That sentence a year ago would have been shocking, which is another lesson that predicting anything too far into the future in the NFL is a waste of time. The quarterback dominoes continuing to fall, including Carson Wentz heading to Indianapolis, are evidence of that. It’s something to keep an eye on, but first the Houston Texans have to agree to trade Watson or engage in conversation about doing so, which they’ve said they won’t do.

Taking a quarterback in the draft is of course on the table. Bridgewater being the starter in 2021 is arguably the strongest possibility; his $23 million cap hit makes a trade for him less likely, despite any wishes from Carolina.

With regard to Bridgewater, she pretty much echoes what Voth was saying.

Still losing sleep over that eh?

  Nah. Just curious why the “fairy tale” wasn’t confirmed yet again. 
 

  What would keep me up nights would have been if I spent the majority of the season posting passing charts and pounding the table that Teddy was really a better QB than everyone was saying? Can’t imagine how ignorant that would make me feel. Definitely would lose sleep if I did something like that.

Teddy was also brought in because of the uncertainty with Cam and his health. Covid prevented us from seeing Cam up close when they needed to know if he was healthy. If they did, I have a feeling that might have rolled with him for last year without an extension.

Teddy was a good risk. Last year, he didn't have a O-line and CMC but more then that, Teddy hasn't played a full season in years. With no training camp to really get in football shape, I think he wore out towards the end. If he's our QB next year (draft pick or not), I can see a better Teddy with a better O-line and a healthy CMC and a better defense to get off the field on 3rd down. 

No offense.  ‘Better’  might be 7 and 9 with teddy and that’s his ceiling

I think we have all seen enough of the 7 and 9 Show  with multiple QBs

Teddy showing up next year knowing that literally no one wants to see him take another snap for the Panthers.

  I don’t get trashing him in the media, like Tepper did, when you know you want, and NEED, to trade him at that point. That essentially ended any shot of some team taking him for any sort of return. Or having to include pick(s) to get a team to take that contract. Tepper was understandably pissed, but you don’t diminish an asset while he’s still on your roster.

Unfortunately for us, other teams saw him play too.

Won’t change a thing. Teddy will still be ultra conservative. Be terrible at long passes and probably only throw 15 TDs a season. He needs to go.

   Like I said, he was “understandably” pIssed.  But announcing your frustrations to the rest of the league just shatters any value he might have had left. Just not something Tepper should be doing. Never tell the league you don’t want a player anymore. Doesn’t matter how right he was.

He already didn't have any.

Can’t really disagree. Just bad policy. Teddy was probably past the “leverage” worries already. 

Yeah, don't get me wrong, I don't think we really did a very smart thing by putting up a flashing neon billboard that we're desperate for a QB and done with Teddy, but I think that was pretty obvious simply by scouting us.

That covers it for me as well.

      PFF raves about our draft. The best class in the whole draft?

      By DaveThePanther2008 · Posted

      Round 1. TMac arguably the best WR in the draft Round 2. Scour ton mentioned as a possible 1st round edge.     Texas A&M did not use him the same way Purdue did. After the 2023 season he was listed as a first round grade. I believe had Texas A&M used him like they did at Purdue he never makes it out of round 1. Round 3 Princely Umanmielen, we'll go by Princely.  Another highly graded player we got in a lower round. As the video suggests, even if he plays only on passing down it's a positive. Give him a couple of years to develop a he could be a three down player.  Round 4a Etienne IMO a huge upgrade over Blackshear. I can see him in a similar role as CMC without the heavy workload. He can run in between the tackles and has some shifty moves. Give Canales some flexibility. A fellow huddler pointed out UGA running backs don't see the field if they cannot pick up the blitz. Really good pick. Round 4b Ransom a hard hitting safety that has played three different positions on defense. Great pick Round 5a Cam Jackson a massive NT in round 5. I believe a solid rotational pick in a lower round. We added a beast that could make offenses quiver when he's lined up with Brown. Great Value  Round 5b Evans This is another player that can block and has good hands. He also had better seasons before 2024. As a rookie he's probably leaps and bounds better than Ian Thomas. I think he gives us a three headed monster at TE.  Round 6 Horn Jr. Many believe he's just going to be a KR/PR player. I believe there are going to be packages for him to get on the field as a WR. His speed with TMac and Thielen in the slot could be special. I'm really looking forward to seeing him in training camp. I've watched some film and he is very explosive.  Overall I love our picks. I honestly believe all of them will contribute this season. I don't believe we reached on one player in this draft.  This weekend we get a small look at these rookies
