 What did Payton mean by "What you got here is a unicorn"

A unicorn situation is where there is a HC vacancy and there's an established, successful QB in place.  In other words extremely rare if not a complete fantasy.  Usually HCs don't get canned in such scenarios where there's elite QB play.  Most newly hired HCs are dealing with some sort of QB ineptitude walking in the door.

Jimmy G... i agree... not Teddy though. 

In Sean Payton’s system it worked, when you sign players that fit your system and coach them up you get good results. I’ve always heard a good coach gets the most out of his players so I understand why he said Teddy as well.

Teddy wasnt Brees when he started for them, but he was functional enough to win almost all of those games.  He was not that here under Rhule.

Teddy could have won more if he was better prepared. He tried saying that and got traded for stating our practices weren’t thorough enough.

Wasn’t Teddy 5/0 standing in for Brees under Payton? He also said they were bridge QBs until you find your guy. I’m not a fan of his, but he knows how to run a successful franchise…

LAC will be his unicorn.

Well, who else said that about available QBs until a better QB comes around?

I have been right according to Sean Payton about QBs. Teddy would never be a starter. He is a career backup who can come in and win. Jimmy G can be the starter and win in the playoffs.

    • Hello, soccer fans [crickets, tumbleweed flies by]. The World Cup kicks off in less than 2 weeks and, well, 🇺🇸USA USA USA🇺🇸 and all. We beat Senegal 3-2 yesterday in a tune-up friendly at BoA, with Christian Pulisic finally entering the scoring column.  How will we do in the World Cup once our tournament kicks off on the 12th? Well, there are 48 teams (assuming Iran is there) and it feels like one of two thing happens: we get grouped for the first time since '98, or we make it to the Round of 16 for the third time in the last four World Cups. I tried out the lottery for an Atlanta game and struck out, so yesterday was as World Cup as I'll get for in-person ($285/ticket for like Norway vs $39/ticket for USMNT right beforehand was a layup).  The U.S. has a travel-heavy schedule in group play, playing in LA, Seattle and LA. Real road warrior mentality being built. Glad the east coast gets worse kickoff times for a NA World Cup than a Qatar World Cup.
    • Well, that's the thing. Drafting players only for their physical measurables as you are suggesting only really happened during 2024, and X unfortunately has become the poster child for that. To be clear, it's not necessarily about drafting RAS over skill, but RAS over NFL-readiness and/or a solid body of work. Lots of players show skill in college, but those skills don't necessarily translate to the NFL for a multitude of reasons. But, getting back to the main point, to be clear, I believe that our FO is still enamored with physical gifts (who wouldn't be?), but now they're letting Dr. Eric Eager's proprietary system--his "secret sauce" prioritize the players that the Panthers draft, and it seems like it weighs not only a solid body of work, relative to a college career of course, but consistent gradual improvement as evidenced by production pretty highly. 
    • Its a good article about how pathetically bad our past drafts ('23 and '24) have been. Building the team in '23 since we weren't ready yet and taking your qb in '24 made so much more sense in hindsight. Ladd McConkey over XL is pretty much a given but not sure it does as much to change Bryce's trajectory as the author suggests.  As bad as '23 and '24 drafts were, the '25 and '26 really give me hope.
