My take on the QB situation

I think he might be back as well, but as a bridge for a rookie QB. If that is the case I’m ok ish with that so we don’t have to rush the rookie. 

But I’d be even more happy with another veteran QB

Yep. If we're going draft, I'd prefer to try to trade Teddy for anything to get out from under his contract then sign a different vet. I just think that bridge between Teddy and the Panthers might be burned and I'm not sure that locker room vibe would be a great one.

I don't either, but starting to think the music may stop and the Panthers are the ones still standing up.

There is no excuse for Teddy being the starter next year.  Too many other options exist.

I am not a huge Kellen Mond fan, but seriously, the tools are there.  His inconsistencies are largely tied to his sometimes ropey footwork.  Dude has some legit arm talent.  I see a lot of similar traits (and comparitive results) to Josh Allen.  Obviously not in the first round.

I would be a lot more excited to watch Mond than TB5, I must say.

Yep. Another Teddy season is literally waving the white flag. The fans know it. The locker room knows it. Tepper and Rhule have said plenty to let everyone know that they know that Teddy isn't the guy. You can't go into next year with Teddy as your starting QB.

6. Trade back and hope Mac Jones slips. This would be a good play if we signed Trubisky. I want no part of Jones at #8, but picking Jones would be a lot easier to stomach if it was in a trade down that netted us additional draft assets.

8. Trade for Garner Minshew. The Jags are drafting Trevor Lawrence. Minshew has real value as a backup, but so would a mid-round pick to help them build around Lawrence. Minshew is also still on a dirt cheap rookie contract so this move would have minimal cap implications.

option 6b (or 8b), Trade a mid round and TB for Minshew. The Jags get their back up and we unload Teddy's contract. Then we trade back to get Jones. Do whatever it takes to get a starting LT with our next pick. build from there. If Jones does actually turn out to be a franchise QB, we win. If he needs a while, we've upgraded our QB (with Minshew) while gaining cap space.

I think an alternate here is a trade up to 5 for Lance or Fields.  Miami is tricky.  I mean, they've already got so much draft capital, so why trade back again? In conjunction with this, I think NYJ has the edge for Watson because I don't see HOU settling for the 3rd pick.  They want their man of choosing.   

So the question is, would Miami trade back again for the remaining of Smith/Chase/Sewell/Slater/Parsons?

Are they happy with Tua?

They're such a wildcard.

    • I originally hated the Miller deal but with the cap projected to rise nearly $10M next season the Canes struck some pretty good deals between Miller and Ehlers. Most of the team is locked in for the next few years. Nikishin will need an extension probably in the $6M AAV range. And Blake will need one if we don’t move him. Personally I’d move Blake, picks, and any prospect not named Nikishin/Nadeau/Artamonov for McTavish as I don’t see any any of the big time players moving teams next year. Realistically the Hurricanes should just target Gustavsson next year to fix the goal tending issue. But I’m all for moving Blake, picks, and prospects for McTavish this year. Ehlers - Aho - Jarvis Svechnikov - McTavish - Stankoven Martinook - Staal - Carrier Hall - Kotkaniemi - Robinson Jost - Jankowski Slavin - Miller Nikishin - Chatfield Gostisbehere - Walker Reilly Andersen Kochetkov I’d do Blake, Felix-Unger-Sorum, and 27 2nd for McTavish.
    • Very true on the length but stuff like this is never where we shine. We aren’t a good team at drafting.
    • Homerism aside, the more I see from Dan, the more impressed I am.  His player evaluation instincts. Last year his 2 premier FA signings, Hunt and Lewis COMPLETELY changed the line and I have a feeling his success in choosing blue chip guys will continue.  Look at the panthers’s rep for FA signings in the past. By and large, it’s been guys 1 year past their prime who had an injury and suckered our GM in to a crippling contract. We never get nice things. When was the last time this team signed 2 young blue chip studs  in the same offseason to contracts worthy of their impact? Ever?  Im telling y’all, players respect and trust Morgan.
