Today is a day to be happy.  I don't know if this can really turn the season around, and it doesn't erase the gross mismanagement of the QB position over the last few years (which if we're being honest goes all the way back to 2016 and Rivera playing Cam hurt), but for today... 

It offers hope and nostalgia, 2 of the strongest human emotions there are... and I'm here for it

I was never in support of trading / releasing Cam, he had 1yr, and 19M left -- so we go out and sign Teddy for 3y / 60M. 

I was never in support of trading Teddy, and trading a 2, 4, and 6 for Darnold. Yet we did, and then when Fields FELL INTO OUR LAP, they turned their noses up, drafted Horn who I think was showing to be an excellent corner prior to injury. Then they activated Sam's 5th year option by the time the Broncos picked at #9. Then they did not even bother to sign a viable back veteran up QB. 

Whoever was responsible for those series of decisions simply DOES NOT understand the NFL and the QB position (IMO this was Matt Rhule as two years in a row poo QB decisions were made, and he was the constant).

Hurney was the 1st sacrifice, and IMO Fitterer was here to short a time to make a ''Franchise QB level decision'' and deferred to Rhule's preference and facilitated a trade, as in the Panthers Draft Room videos it alluded to Tepper wanting Fields. I wil also give Fitterer credit for his draft day trades and helping us cover the loss of those picks preemptively as we added 11 rookies in 2020.

Do people come to see a guy like CMC, Burns, etc? Yes. BUT none of that matters as there is NO BIGGER draw in the NFL than a franchise QB, they allow you to:

1) Win games regularly

2) They put butts in seats

Teddy, and Sam accomplish neither of those things, and had no NFL tape to back up their ''potential'' to do so. I put the blame at Rhules feet, and while I think in other personnel areas we've made strides, he needs to stay away from QB decisions.
