The same posters flaunting that Teddy will have a better year than Sam are probably the same ones that killed him the most when he threw a two yard pass on 4th and 8. 

On the surface it seems pretty contradictory...but it's actually fairly consistent and predictable.  Whichever narrative maximizes the amount of whining about the team, is the one Huddlers will latch onto.

Saints are just waiting to see if we cut him.

In no way would I cut him. He gives us options this year and his cap would only hurt us. We can wait till after pre season and the start of the year and if someone gets hurt we will get just as much compensation as now.

In a cash strapped year we may look at it as a smart move?

Designate him a June 1, save 12M this season and put's 10M in dead money into 22.

Or, like you said, keep someone who will be miserable in the locker room, pay him his 22M, and it will still cost us 5M in 22 to cut him...or two seasons of 2.5M in dead money.

So, if we can't trade him, you are adding 12M to this years cap space, and only really costing the team 5M more to do it this season vs. next.  I don't want Teddy anywhere near this team, and I think the feelings are mutual.

Not bad at all. We’d only have the $10M dead cap from his $15M signing bonus. That’s money already paid so it was going to hit in 2021/2022 regardless. Trading him is best case as it saves us $10M unless we agree to partially paying the guarantee. We’d only do that if we were getting a pick in return. Pretty sure we aren’t scared of Teddy being the starter anywhere. I’d be happy to see him in NO, really happy.

Thank you.

Wasn't exactly sure how it was structured.  I'll take anything at this point.

Teddy with no line or check down is a scary thought. Gase loved long developing plays with no protection.... sounds familiar?

This is true. Perhaps it would have been worse?

I think Teddy makes decisions fairly quickly, I think he just leans way, way, WAAAAAAAY too conservatively.

      PFF raves about our draft. The best class in the whole draft?

      By LinvilleGorge · Posted

      Carolina Panthers R1 (1): QB Bryce Young, Alabama R2 (39): WR Jonathan Mingo, Ole Miss R3 (80): EDGE DJ Johnson, Oregon R4 (114): G Chandler Zavala, NC State R5 (145): S Jammie Robinson, Florida State Day 1: Carolina moved up to No. 1 overall and secured their potential franchise quarterback. Despite concerns about his size, Young was the top QB on the PFF big board, and his 92.9 passing grade led all players at the position over the past two seasons. Day 2: Mingo was one of the biggest risers in the pre-draft process and finds himself in Carolina to team up with top pick Bryce Young. While his production in college was spotty, he has a good blend of size and athleticism to like his fit here with the Panthers. Not to mention, he flashed often on tape between unbelievable body adjustments and clean wins at the line of scrimmage. This is one of the bigger reaches so far based on the PFF big board, with Johnson coming in at 237th overall. The Panthers are taking a swing on Johnson’s athleticism on the edge (4.49-second 40-yard dash at 261 pounds). He’s a 24-year-old prospect who recorded fewer than 50 career pressures on 786 defensive snaps in college. Day 3: The Panthers have invested in improving their offensive line over the last several seasons and continue to do so with Zavala here. He played just over 1,000 snaps in the FBS but earned an 86.5 PFF pass-blocking grade last season and adds some explosiveness to the interior of their offensive line. Carolina adds another defensive back for new defensive coordinator Eviro Ejero to deploy in a deep secondary unit. Robinson’s 16.0% forced incompletion rate illustrates his playmaking ability at the catch point when targeted. He plays fast, but that sometimes results in a missed tackle, with his 7.4% missed tackle rate on the high side. DRAFT GRADE: B+

      PFF raves about our draft. The best class in the whole draft?

      By LinvilleGorge · Posted

      CAROLINA PANTHERS R1 (6) — G Ikem Ekwonu, NC State R3 (94) — QB Matt Corral, Mississippi R4 (120) — LB Brandon Smith, Penn State R6 (189) — Edge Amare Barno, Virginia R6 (199) — T Cade Mays, Tennessee R7 (242) — CB Kalon Barnes, Baylor Day 1: The board couldn’t have fallen much better for Carolina, with all three of the top offensive tackle prospects still on the board. The Panthers opted for the top run-blocker in the class in Ekwonu. The N.C. State tackle earned PFF run-blocking grades above 85.0 in all three of his college seasons, with grades above 90.0 in each of the last two years. It’s worth noting that the Panthers didn’t trade back to add another pick or two, given that they aren’t on the clock again until the fourth round. Day 2: Corral wouldn’t have been a good pick in Round 1, but he provides value late on Day 2. Corral’s offense at Ole Miss made his projection to the NFL a little more difficult, as it was full of RPOs and simplistic reads. Despite the quarterback-friendly offense, Corral was consistently on time and delivered accurate throws while showing off an exceptional deep ball. Corral’s 2021 season took a nosedive midseason due to injury. His 91.1 PFF grade through Week 7 was the fourth-highest in the FBS, but that mark fell 20 grading points to 70.6 from Week 8 on. Day 3: Smith is an athletic project, but he’s a project well worth taking at this stage of the draft. The production profile isn’t overly impressive. Smith earned PFF grades below 60.0 in each of the last two years at Penn State. But the NFL is always going to look for 6-foot-4, 250-pound linebackers who test above the 90th percentile in the 40-yard dash, broad jump and short shuttle. Now, the Panthers just need to figure out how to use him. Draft Grade: A
