Signing a veteran QB familiar with a new offense + staff during a restricted offseason to a team-friendly deal where he is never paid as a top half QB in the NFL is a good thing.

Worst case scenario was that he declined (which he did) but the deal still allowed the team to wait on a QB while it addressed other areas of need (which, as we saw with Houston netting 4 wins this season despite Deshaun at QB, wasn't necessarily a bad thing). At worst, he'd start for one more season and we'd have a more complete team to install a rookie or other veteran.

But hey, good on you for having to make a new account this month? 👀

Let us just call it for what it is. We got played like a fiddle by Sean Payton into believing Teddy could be more. The worst thing we can do is double down. Get back to what made this team a hard nosed competitor in our division and not a one win wonder just happy to be here.

I don't think you could say they "loved" him. Liked, perhaps.

The contract they gave him was basically a "bridge" to "maybe" deal, though granted Marty probably overinflated it (not exactly a shock).

d&d nerd GIF

The fact that he's paid at best 15th of all QBs iirc and the QBs making less are either rookies or strictly back-ups poos all over the "WE'RE PAYING HIM <INSERT TOTAL CONTRACT VALUE HERE>"

Did he shake out? Nah, but nothing was ever built in a manner to fall apart if he didn't. Quite the opposite if anything.

By all accounts at the time the other teams sniffing around looking to sign him were blown out of the water when we swooped in with our offer. We then proceeded to get Teddy out front and center in all of our media activities to show off our new face. Yes maybe we didn't "love" him but we damn sure were hard up to acquire him.

Delusion.

So just to be clear, because I'm not comfortable taking Lance at #8 I'm delusional?

If he's there at #40 I'm running to the podium - that's a low risk, high reward pick. 

There's arguments that Mond will go in the first round too - I just wouldn't take him there.

I get that but I just don't buy that a man who has a giant set of balls on his desk and paid a new head coach 100 million dollars handed the keys and full authority of the trajectory of the franchise to Marty Hurney while completely removing himself and said new head coach from the process. It was undoubtedly a collaborative effort if anything in bringing Teddy to Carolina.

The decision to bring him in would have been a subject of discussion, but when it came to the contract offer neither Matt Rhule nor Joe Brady nor anybody else would likely have had much to say.

Tepper? Maybe, but I wouldn't bet on it. Yes, Tepper did trust Marty. Thankfully, he learned that was a mistake, but that he ever did doesn't really say much for him.

Because you suggested Lance could potentially be a late round flier pick you're delusional

I was the biggest proponent of taking Mahomes you'll find - when every other Panthers fan was swooning over the broken down QB we had under contract.

That dude screamed generational talent.

Nice try though.

Yeah ok. No one knew Cam was done after 2016. He was 1 year removed from MVP. The draft talk that year was Fournette vs McCaffrey and Running Back vs Non RB. People were pissed at Ron for playing him in meaningless games in 2016 when he got fuged up but most assumed he would bounce back, which he did kinda in 2017.

      The running back situation....

      By strato · Posted

      okay I found this and it sounds like my hopes for the first surgery being not such a great job seems like it could be actual reality.  I only hoped because that would give a better chance for recovery and ia a possible scenario so I just thought it could be possible. Had no real evidence of it. But I’ll be damned.    This is a detailed report of Brooks’ surgery and the condition of his knee after the failed repair.     https://x.com/jmthrivept/status/2055743129408704806?s= Sparked by some very good questions by @CoachspeakIndex, here’s some info on Jonathon Brooks: 1. Speculation that the first graft/ACLR by Dr. Cooper didn’t “take” or at least was too lax, leading to failure and re-tear. Brooks dealt with issues cutting, progressing in his rehab into the early stages of 2024 and then re-tore it late 2024, requiring a second ACLR in January 2025 (essentially revision). Notably, CAR prolonged Brooks’ rehab process through Sept-Oct due to issues progressing into the next stages of rehab. 2. Second surgery performed by Dr. Neal ElAttrache, who has extensive experience with revisions. He did a double bundle technique, harvesting graft from Brooks’ left patellar tendon and a strip of his right IT Band (his right patellar tendon had been utilized for the prior graft in 2023. The double bundle technique significantly increases rotational stability of the knee, leading to a stronger and more secure graft/reconstruction. Also to note, Brooks’ surgery wasn’t significantly delayed, meaning that the tunnels from his prior ACLR were in good shape and they didn’t need to perform bone grafts to fill in (would have delayed 2nd surgery by 5-6 months). Essentially, reading the tea leaves tells me that everything else except for the graft itself was still in good quality within his knee. Good sign for future.  3. Typically, you see a performance increase anywhere from 16-20 months post-revision. Brooks will be ~21 months out from his second surgery by the time Week 1 hits. His knee should be more stable and stronger this time around, with adequate time for healing and return to all movement patterns. I’m not viewing this situation as a typical “Player __ had TWO ACL tears, he’s cooked” situation. Rather, I’m viewing it as the first procedure failed, but the second procedure is significantly stronger and should allow him to return to form this time around. I don’t know why it posted as a link but there it is.

      How can you say they aren’t trying to win now with all the moves made in free agency? Or is trading first round picks the only way to be win now? I’d be fine never trading another first round pick again, win now be damned.
