Well Teddy is still better than Cam at this point.

Arguably no he’s not. But assuming Bridgewater is better, the Panthers are still desperate to get rid of him even though he’s gonna cost us a poo load in dead money next season.

If Cam sucked last season, he would be gone and the books would be clean.

If it scores us a third round pick, does it matter?


I guess in three or four years we’ll know? Convoluted way to look at it. Bridgewater was an atrocious signing in hindsight. No getting around it. I mean, it got Hurney fired again so maybe it was actually a great move. Same logic with the comp pick.

We should know immediately.... essentially we bought a 3rd rounder.

sure, point remains signing Teddy to that contract was an awful decision. Just because it nets a backend third round comp pick doesn’t change that fact.

glad we have guys in leadership who are willing to move fast to make changes like this.

 

i think we're staying in the watson game until he agrees to rejoin houston (unlikely), is traded elsewhere (very possible), or we strike gold on our own.

we will likely go into the draft not knowing his status and will draft a QB at 8 if there is one we like. if we can trade for watson after the draft we'll probably send that rookie QB as part of the package.

Cutting Cam and Starting Allen would have given you the same production at a fraction of the cost.

Hurney magic

Key Free Agents:

  • Okung  (hurt most of season)
  • Whitehead (sucked whole season, benched for a special teamer)
  • Weatherly (hurt and sucked most of season)
  • Bridgewater (4 wins)

Second contract:

  • CMC  (hurt twice--I had more yards getting from my car to my house than CMC)

Dead money:

  • 25% of the cap  (The reason Marty was fired)

You're awesome, as always, Verge.  Thanks for sharing the info.  

So now my question is, was it Hurney's decision to move on from Cam and to Teddy, solely?  And if so, did Rhule and Brady just tow the company line publicly?  Because of the public love shown for Teddy, I assumed the move was pushed for by Brady/Rhule.

      The question is which Bryce shows up game 1. Do we get week 2 (2024) Bryce, or week 18 (2024) Bryce?  I will say that his progression after the benching last year was amazing. He literally got better every game - sans Dallas. Like every week he did something we hadn't seen him do before. And it wasn't luck, toss it up for grabs plays like Penix did against Carolina. Penix was just throwing the ball as hard as he could in the direction of a receiver and hoping they'd make a play for him. What we saw from Bryce was different. Decision making, reading defenses, recognizing blitzes and where they were coming from, knowing his hot, avoiding pressure and manipulating the pocket, throwing with anticipation, taking shots downfield, and running the ball surprisingly well. Stats don't always tell the story. Did he miss some throws that he should have made - sure did. But the clutch gene is strong with this one. One score game and Carolina has the ball with 2 minutes on the clock - I'm confident he'll give them a chance to win more than he doesn't.

      I really like David Moore. He's a reliable WR. Smart, doesn't drop the ball and he's where he's supposed to be. Now, he ain't gonna route up a DB. He ain't gonna 50/50 ball a DB. He ain't gonna run by a DB either. But he runs a good enough route and catches the ball - definitely an NFL average WR. Every team could use a David Moore. Now if this receiving group can force Dan and Dave to let him go, then this team has come a long way since 2023. A LONG way. But I will say that Horn's speed is a big deal. They don't really have another guy with speed and quickness to blow the top off the defense and make guys miss in space after the catch, though he is still a rookie and hasn't done it in the NFL. If he and Renfrow push Moore out, then we might actually have something gents. Plus I see Renfrow as Thielen's replacement in 2026. I just don't think Coker is the reliable, move the chains guy like Thielen. Could be wrong.
