Not throwing him under the bus does not equal lying about the situation.  It was clear from the end of the season that the "Teddy era " (error?) was over.  

While not totally blaming Teddy also served to keep what trade value we had alive .... so our motives were not 100% altruistic.  It still could have been a lot uglier.

Huh?

Again, who can blame Teddy here?

Teddy is who he was.  It's the staff's fault for thinking he was somebody else.

Who was better on that 2019 team?  I don't think trading Turner for Okung made our line better.

Moton has been our best OL for awhile now. Norwell had surpassed Turner by the time he left in free agency. I'm not sure that Turner was ever our best OL after getting paid to be that.

Teddy has always been terrible in the redzone. He just doesn't throw TDs. He's too conservative. Did all his other coaches never work on that stuff either?

If true why did the Panthers sign him in the first place?

1. They thought Teddy was good enough to invest a bunch of money and years into.

2. Like Teddy, he didn't go out and sign the best players available, they signed guys he and Joe knew from earlier in the careers.

3. They have VERY little NFL experience in the building.  From the owner on down.  Now a guy who's known as a great dude and NFL pro say out loud that they didn't practice like other teams.

4. They decided to try for the playoffs instead of tanking for the generational QB.  Ended up with a horrible season and draft position.

5. They traded down in the draft to get depth, which was an odd move for a roster devoid of talent. I don't want to hear it about the percieved potential of the drafted players or the draft grades, let's see them play first.  I'm just talking about the strategy employed, you can't not say it was a quantity over quality draft approach.

6. They oddly sent away our best offensive lineman just before the season started.

7. They got rid of all of our expereinced vets and completely bungled Cam.

 

Come on, man. Half of that is bullshit.

Moton is a solid player, don't get me wrong.  Maybe he should've been moved to LT instead of dealing for Okung.  We needed all the help we could get on OL.  Could've used that $20 mil delta between Teddy and Kyle Allen to upgrade that group, but oh well...

These same guys were dancing in the streets when Teddy was signed.  Now it's Teddy's fault and not the staff's.

Moton is on the right side because he is not a LT.  The Turner for Okung trade can be graded as either a win or a wash in my book.  Okung only played half the season because he can't stay on the field, but I think he was decent when healthy.  His contract was also an expiring one, while the Chargers straight up cut Trai Turner this offseason.  We got an overpaid player off the books essentially.

Teddy Bridgewater threw 15 TDs last session 

What week will Darnold throw his 16th? 

This team will be worse in 2021 than they were in 2020.

My guess is week 13-15.

      So is Legette getting traded?

      By Bear Hands · Posted

      Can't keep pining for what never happened....but for god sakes, DeJean, Frazier... and we got this dude in a R1 trade up.  The most notable blunder of this era, that's for sure.

      That's it. How do you feel about this draft class.

      By Bear Hands · Posted

      Overall, fine.  Wish we landed a guy to pair with Lloyd but I presume this means they're giving Trevin one final year to put it together (72nd overall 2 years back).  Flashed potential year 1, had a dud last year.   R1: Freeling LT - Great value and a need; landed our new long term LT that could end up starting off the bat.  Icky had a terrible injury and is not playing in his contract year.  Walker is what he is on a 1-year rental, who even knows how he fits. You get premier OTs early if you can find em' and he has what you want.  I thought he could have gone as high as 6/CLE pre-draft, so am a big fan of the selection.  Looking at this class, he's one of the guys at the top that is like "okay that's the LT".  Others have this right/left or G/T type discussion about them.  Freeling is an LT.   R2: Hunter NT - We didn't really have anyone replacing A'Shawn's snaps in our rotation.  Wharton & Brown aren't 3 downers so adding Hunter to the mix fills a big void. I dug deep into S and LB this draft so was a bit to zeroed in - In recognize the value and impact add in the trenches. R3: Brazzell WR - Intriguing.  Given our history, I don't really want to place any expectations here, but a different style weapon for Bryce. I pretty much expect a WR drafted yearly with this regime. Other notables.. Hecht C - These are the type of rounds where starting centers have been found.  We got a starter for this year, but Hecht seems pretty capable and I like it for a long term find.  SOLID AF.  Wheatley S - A pretty well regarded safety prospect.  And we see it every year (like this one) safeties get hyped, people think they may go sooner than expected, and the league reminds them how it rolls.  Plenty of nice safeties have been found in the 4th-6th in recent years.  Big fan of Wheatley. Can't say I know enough about Lee or the others.
