S Fowler’s take Panthers had to dump Teddy Bridgewater, but will Sam Darnold really be any better?

Teddy is a great backup level QB, reliable with a low ceiling. At the price Denver paid it's not that bad, mostly because we ate wat too much money on a really bad contract. 

Darnold has spent the last 3 years learning really bad habits. The hope we can make that work isn't enough to overcome the huge negatives on his mental game but you have to try.

Now that Teddy is finally gone we can add another QB and if Sam looks how he has the past 3 years then we can get a look at another QB this year and see if we are right back in the QB hunt next offseason. And Sam is a vet next year so if he can't turn it around with better coaching this year he probably won't ever. Honestly if we can get him to backup level play that at least keep some value on him and more options open in 2022.

Tired of the excuses for Teddy. Franchise QB's deliver with 8 opportunities to win the game period.

The issue here isn’t Teddys. It’s believing he was ever a franchise QB in the first place. Don’t blame a backup for playing like a backup just because you thought he was a starter.

No offense to Fowler but it’s wild someone can get paid for an article like that. He just rattled off the numbers and basically said “Teddy wasn’t awful, Darnold is unproven, the Panthers really want a quarterback, Teddy is a great guy”.  
 

On a related side note, the athletic has excellent sports coverage. Look out for their $1 per month deal.
