Breer on Tepper, Rhule and the Panthers quarterback options

[Mr. Scot]

From his latest mailbag (link)

From Teppers Fake Brass Balls (@ATh2o88): What is your prediction on what the Panthers do at the QB position this offseason? And will it be enough to save Rhule’s job this fall?

That’s a colorful name you’ve got there, Tepper. And I actually do think the Panthers owner, David Tepper, may have had an inadvertent impact on Carolina’s position with this offseason’s available quarterbacks.

Tepper still hasn’t publicly backed Matt Rhule. My feeling is that it hurt Carolina in its ability to hire staff, for the same reason it could hurt the team with quarterbacks—a lack of certainty regarding where the team will be a year from now necessarily means less stability for everyone involved. Now, maybe even if Tepper were to say something, it wouldn’t have made a difference with assistant coaches and won’t with a quarterback. But the silence certainly didn’t help with the former and won’t help with the latter.

That’s why my feeling is the Panthers will probably wind up with a quarterback who sees opportunity in Charlotte to fight for his viability as an NFL starter. Which is to say my guess is it winds up being someone like Jimmy Garoppolo.

The logic of the predictions are mind boggling 

The QB that couldn’t win

1.  with a great coaching staff

2. and a loaded team

will succeed in Carolina’s 3 year and growing dumpster fire 

I lay this fully at Tepper’s feet. No one else

Breer didn't say he'd succeed.

He just said he or someone on his level is likely what we'll end up with.

I don't think the logic is that deep.

1) Who wants to be/remain a starter bad enough to disregard the fact there could be a coaching change after their first year?

I don't think success is associated with this situation at all.

Someone desperate for game tape.

Lol yeah and I was told on here by @Shockerthat this team could make playoffs with this new staff hires, LT and a qb. We will be lucky to win 3 or 4 games, just enough to keep us out of number 1 pick.

I mean I'd be pissed if we traded for Garoppolo but the dude is in large part a winner.  33-14 as a starting QB in the regular season and 4-2 in the postseason.

Only one thing will keep the Carolina Panthers from picking No. 1 overall in 2023:

Rhule trading the pick this year.

Hate to say it, but I definitely wouldn't call that an impossibility.

I wish I could say the train wreck was over and this season will just be the remnants playing out the damage already done.

I can't, though.

They will somehow grab another QB, climb onto another train and look for another chance to derail the franchise. And trading away our first next season, or for multiple years, is definitely in their wheelhouse.

[SmokinwithWilly]

If we bring in Jimmy G or Cousins we will be paying more for QBs than KC is for Mahomes. That just hurts to think about.

I've given up on this season. My concern at this point is not totally fuging up our cap and draft picks for the future.

A lot of us have.

Save that money and draft a 6'4" QB not named Pickett and play him.

At least it's a firm commitment to the future.

Sam can back up the rookie.
