Sounds like Teddy will be Traded

[Smittymoose]

Best hope is someone like SF (assuming Jimmy is trades) or NYG that has a cheap QB and needs a quality backup might toss a 2022 5th or 6th at Carolina to make this happen. Trading down from #8 is a better route to recoup picks, particularly if one of the QBs is still on the board.

I see a pattern of the Panthers just quickly cycling through experienced QB who didn't pan out until we hit on someone. Darnold will have a short leash imo, and if he doesn't produce a winning season in 2021 then he needs to be mentally prepared to be the scapegoat. We'll put the losses on him and send him wandering off into free agency. Rhule is an odd dude.

Who cares, we still end up with Darnlod. Sam fuging Darnlod, literally the worst QB statistically the last three years.

The guy has been so fuging bad.

He doesn't even have a winners mentality like GCOB, this mother fuger is a certified loser.

Trade or cut, we’ll eat 15 mil of his contract but it opens up 8 mil post June 1st. So with a vet in Darnold on a rookie deal, we can still draft Lance or Fields, and spend 5-6 mil towards a vet DB or just make it savings.

Darnold can certainly rack up losses and interceptions, but he was in a bad situation overall. I don't know what the hell Fitterer is thinking, but that usually means the coaches and staff will be gone in a couple of years.

The Panthers aren’t drafting Fields or Lance, give me a break. That would be extremely moronic based on what the Panthers just gave up.

I think we have to take a look at Trey Lance (the most likely to fall of the big 4) if he's there at 8. We can draft Trey and let Darnold sail the ship in 2021.

We gave up a 6th (meaningless, we have three) and 2 futures. It really wasn’t much. If you’re looking at the money, we’re going to be in a perfectly reasonable spot to do so if one falls. I don’t think we’re trading up anymore though and that’s likely why we went ahead and did this.

Of all the QBs you have heard the Broncos be "in" on, Teddy Bridgewater is the only legitimate one. I imagine Teddy will either end up in Denver, New Orleans, or San Francisco.

Teddy is a first class guy and would be a great mentor to help Sam learn the offense, but that contract makes moving him a must. 

All of that is complete fallacy that keeps circulating around here.

Why are we now giving up on drafting a future franchise qb for Darnold? Like you just said,  if darnold doesn't light it up then he is a FA next year and we have absolutely nothing at QB. I still think we should be looking at drafting one if somebody falls not name mac jones.

I think we might draft Trey Lance.

I think there is weird outrage.  People wanted us to draft a QB and ditch Teddy.  
 

if we did, that means we still bring in another QB.  Darnold doesn’t mean we can’t draft a QB if he falls to 8.  But it means we have hope beyond just being stuck with repeating Teddy again if we can’t land a QB we want.  Darnold might not be any better than Teddy.  But he has potential to be.

I already think darnold is better than teddy but not by much. Sam is going into year 5 and has to be paid after this year but i think its close to a pipe dream he will be a significantly better qb to what we need going forward. I would rather just draft a young guy then take to time to see what darnold can do. I mean its not many options for a legit vet to come in. Unless they are just waiting to see if watson gets out the mess he is in later. Other than that you gotta draft somebody.
