I don't know if some of the rumblings are true. I guess I am just not sure how you trot him back out there after this offseason. If we sign someone else or draft someone else, we would have the most expensive backup QB in the NFL and by a significant margin(possibly the most expensive backup in NFL history).

It seems like trotting out Teddy again would generally be problematic. Does he have trade value? To be determined.

I mean I’m not reading into what what Rhule/Fitterer said, they’re not going to come out and say yeah he isn’t out qb, he’s a terrible person and we’re most definitely trading him. They just trying to keep everything on the down low while not bad mouthing him. Take everything said yesterday with grain of salt. If u haven’t I posted a Rich Eisen podcast in another thread you should watch it.

The chances we roll into next year with Teddy without a change of direction is probably dictated by Tepper. He won't let that happen, he has tickets to sell and Teddy won't help that in any positive way and he knows it. I have no idea what will happen but something will happen. I'm just hoping we have a great eye for talent and enough brains to not do something dumb. Either way, Teddy ain't an answer at this point. We even sat the dude for an XFL QB. It's over either way. Tepper needs butts in seats and Teddy can't do that. The cap is wasted either way with Teddy, he is gone It's just how at this point.

Yeah what I was thinking he has been watching and listening to what fans have said a lot. You know he probably has people that come on these sites and read what fans are saying. After not having hardly anyone at stadium last year and losing money, can’t see them trotting Teddy out there again to a half empty stadium because that’s what will happen if he is back

Draft bpa at #8. Trade a day 3 pick for Garner Minshew.

Jacksonville would be crazy to give up Minshew for that kind of a pick. Frankly, I would probably want a first round pick for him. He is INSANELY cheap and probably the best backup QB in the NFL.

So you believe Tepper is making these sorts of player personnel decisions?

Panthers fans have a decades long track record of paying for tickets regardless of what kind of product is placed on the field.  Remember, only 7 winning seasons in history...those pesky PSL's are an amazingly effective sledge-hammer.

The butts in seats results in much more sales. I'm buying my PSL but it doesn't mean I'm going to a game. I can give those to family and friends or sale them. Real easy, he makes more money with more people in the stadium.

Trade down and get Mac Jones late first or early second. He isn’t worth number 8 but could be fair value later

No guarantee he will be there if you trade down. If he's you're guy for the future then you take him at #8. If you have doubts then draft BPA at any of our positions of need: LT, CB, Edge Rusher, interior Rusher, or even a LB if he excels in pass coverage and makes an impact on the run game.

If we can get Mend in the second, i'd be fine with this. If we could shore up a LT or a defensive standout at 8, if not trade down for more picks, then we gotta roll with teddy. We also haven't seen much cuts yet, but taking someone else's garbage at QB puts us in the same position. If you give Teddy more time in the pocket, he can throw it down field. We saw it early last year. Problem is the lack of protection shot his confidence and depended on his offense making plays. The other half of this is if we get CMC back and can play 16 games gives another option. WE ABSOLUTELY SHOULD NOT MORTGAGE THE FUTURE

      We have seen Bryce get outplayed by all manner of QBs, from UDFAs to second round picks.  If we actually scouted any QBs it would not be a difficult task to upgrade from Bryce, you guys act like he is even decent. He is one of the worst starters league wide stop making excuses.

      if  ANYONE actually goes & looks at the FACTS on rookie Qb's after 2 full seasons as a starter in the NFL & they are still well below average do they rarely ever actually become top tier Qb's & instead most likely either do not recieve a second contract & or become life long backups...just saying

      So he became GM and decided not to address the weakness in the QB room following one of the worst rookie QB performances in NFL history?  There were options last season other than signing Dalton to a 2 year deal. Brissett and Jones by a wide margin, both of whom outplayed Bryce, Wilson, Winston, hell even Rivers off the couch was more exciting at the QB position. The time to address the failure in the QB room was last year but instead people on the Huddle cheered when we brought Dalton back then cheered when we were able to get anything for him after they finally realized he was washed up like a few of had been saying all along and got poo'd for even mentioning.  This year, the options were more limited obviously, especially since we lost Icky. It changed the dynamic of our draft. I think we were stuck this year keeping Bryce, but i still think giving him a 5th year option for what has amounted to replacement worthy performance was the wrong move. Why guarantee 25m if you're planning to replace him? You think he's going to want to be a bridge QB? Hell no. He's going to want out and we'll end up cutting him if he has another lackluster season because no one is trading for him with that price tag.  Were there better options as far as production available. A couple. Were there guys available with more physical tools than Bryce, Pickett or Grier, you damn well better believe there were. I've been saying all along, you always keep looking for your 1b. Bryce has yet to prove he can be a starter. Keep looking for someone who may. Put competition in camp. Let the best QB lead the team. Stop settling for less than mediocre.
