His risk aversion was so perplexing. Even in end of game/game winning scenarios he was still avoiding risks at all costs. I don't remember him ever playing this way at Louisville.

Yes, he has been doing it for a few years now.

From the article: 25. Teddy Bridgewater (Carolina Panthers) I missed watching Teddy Bridgewater as a starter in the NFL after that brutal knee injury from 2016, but this was not what I had in mind. Replacing Cam Newton in the eyes of Panthers fans was not going to be easy, and that’s exactly what didn’t happen. Normally I don’t talk much about Inaccurate Completions considering each quarterback has at least 1 or 2 of them. Teddy had 5. F-I-V-E of them. That should be impossible to achieve, and yet the impossible has happened. Bridgewater also threw for less accurate passes than he had completions, and that’s never a good thing. He fared well on passes of 31-35 yards, but otherwise was well below average as a deep passer. The decision making was there, but the arm strength simply was not, leaving plays on the field for D.J. Moore, Curtis Samuel, and Robby Anderson. However, I can also appreciate that he’s not dead last. Last year, Kyle Allen was the worst deep passer in the 2019-20 Deep Ball Project, and Teddy is Dan Marino in comparison to Allen. Surprisingly, he was 10th in accuracy against pressure for instance. So while his deep passing season was bad, it wasn’t the cyanide trainwreck Allen’s season was a year ago.

Deep Ball Project always does great work.

We did really great in 1999-2008, as well.

I wouldn't because the dead money hit would be massive. Sadly, that CMC deal will be with us for a while.

Not as big a hit as trading CMC. That would be a cap nuke.

OTC is actually showing an additional $6-7 mil in total dead cap for cutting him pre-June 1st. It's actually more dead cap than he has remaining prorated bonus money. In fact it is more money than what he appears to have left in his contract. That's weird.

What was the penalty for being under the 89% 4 year average? Wasn't it taking away future cap space?

Yeah, that is what I am saying. The better long term move for us and the cap is a post June 1st cut, so they definitely are needing this money now. Tagging Moton seems the most likely. If we use it to keep Moton, I can live with that. I would have liked have that additional ~$7 mil less in dead cap over the next three years though. That would have been nice. Also taking that $13.3 mil and rolling it over would have been nice. Oh well. Guess we see what follows now.

Yeah but why not designate him as a June 1st cut and lessen the dead money? That is what makes me wonder if something else isn't imminent.

I think assuming any QB playing beyond 40 is a big assumption. It's obvious these guys can play longer now in the modern era but I don't think a lot of them will want to.

I would like to see him get a 2-3 year deal here. Seems like a great guy to have around and ridiculously talented. Also, interesting to see him doing some boxing training. Perhaps he plans to make that switch after football.

It better be to vet minimum contracts....

He shouldn't be. He is 36.

I puked in my mouth.

Marty Hurney gets confused during the Zoom draft call and selects Micah Parsons for us at #8.

Roy is a backup, Kerr is a starter. That is the difference to me. Doesn't mean I want to get rid of either. But if you made me make a choice right now, I am taking Kerr.

Well they are both relatively cheap. Obviously the rookie deal is better.

I'd keep Kerr over Roy, TBH. We don't have to make that choice, however.

Kerr was legitimately a very good player.
