The amount Teddy is making is a steal! Teams should definitely go ahead and take advantage and trade for him

Teddy for Ertz and a pack of Almond Joy straight up and it’s a deal

On a side note, Zach Ertz commented which had me smiling thinking about him lined up with cmc in the backfield, Robby, and DJ on the sides. The only issue remaining would be the person throwing the ball

Cmc is taking about his comeback to the game. He’s never been out like last season and loves the game/works harder than almost any player in the league. No hidden messages behind that post....hell he posted himself in a Panthers uniform. It’s not about the money to him, he wants to dominate the league.

Oh I absolutely would. I would bet that if he was on any team in the league. I don’t bet, but that’s one I would go all in on. I’m not a crazy Teddy hater at all either... I’m just a realist

Kuddos to you. I don’t believe anyone on the planet has defended Teddy B as hard as you have on this thread. No matter your feelings about him.....I can promise you Teddy is not a QB that will ever win a super bowl (as a starter).

One of these toughest players, much less Lb’s to ever play the game. I will never forget his return from 3 ACL tears. The guts he showed to play in the super bowl with a broken arm will live in the hearts of panther fans forever.

Matt Ryan compared to the QB’s throwing to DJ is one reason, the other is because Ridley has Jones taking up double coverage.

With terrible QB’s throwing him the ball

Great points. If he made an insane move and didn’t care what the coach/gm wanted that would be a terrible move. He has not done so, and we have no evidence that this will ever be something that he would do. Also SUGGESTING moving to a 3-4 with Rivera is much different than forcing him to do so. Rivera did this every time he felt like his job was on the line, he went out of character and tried new things, hoping it would save his job. This time it did not.

Also where is the evidence of Tepper driving football decisions? I’ve heard no stories where he has done so other than mentioning we need a franchise QB (which literally everyone knows we need who has common sense). Has anyone heard of any stories where he dictates the game plan? Said we had to sign a specific free agent? Forced Hurney to draft a specific player?

I don’t understand why so many people keep this up with Tepper. He has shown no evidence of being “too involved”. He had to set up the business side of the team and just now got the football side in line with a new structure and all pieces in place. He gives his opinion on the team, which is a warm welcome from Richardson who literally never spoke to the public. Speaking of that guy, no one pointed out how terrible he was as an owner until the “Jean day” articles came out and he was forced to sell the team. Tepper admitted he should have canned Hurney when he did Rivera which was also refreshing. The guy isn’t afraid to speak to the public about his ideas, views of the team, and future goals/needs. All of these threads asking if he’s a failed owner, talking about how bad he sucks, that he’s too involved etc are just a waste. At the end of the day what are we going to do? Fire him? He may deserve criticism down the road, but as of right now he does not.

I could care less....I care too much.

What a fine book you have written.

Pre and post June cap hits if traded:

Joe expects “a couple mid round picks” to be what we receive if we were to trade him.

A piece of the Article from the Athletic which first reported the 49ers interest: You probably heard: The Panthers are interested in finding an upgrade for quarterback Teddy Bridgewater. The rest of the NFL has gotten the message, as well: San Francisco is among the teams that have called Carolina to gauge the Panthers’ interest in potentially trading Bridgewater, according to league sources. San Francisco general manager John Lynch indicated last week the 49ers would like to find a solid backup as insurance for oft-injured starter Jimmy Garoppolo. The Panthers aren’t going to just give Bridgewater away, especially considering they may need him after they’ve exhausted all the other possibilities. Coach Matt Rhule and general manager Scott Fitterer have other needs, but none is as critical as quarterback. Owner David Tepper was pretty clear on that subject when talking to reporters in December after Marty Hurney was fired. “Unless you have that guy — for sure — that gets you to playoffs and Super Bowls, you have to keep re-evaluating that,” Tepper said. “Because that’s the only thing that matters, is Super Bowls. And until you have that guy, you’re evaluating, evaluating, evaluating every year.” So the Panthers will keep looking this offseason, a process that could extend into the summer depending on how long the Texans are willing to stare down Deshaun Watson — and how long the Panthers are willing to wait.

I bet we ask them to wait until after the draft. He will be our worst case scenario starter for next season, so I’m sure we will want to get another starter via trade or draft before we make the move. Being that he will be a backup/insurance for them I’m sure they don’t mind waiting a bit....but with all that said trade him for anything any I’m good

I could care less. They offer a 6th and I’m taking it just to move on. He could be the water boy for all I care

49ers General Manager John Lynch said recently that he has no doubt that a healthy Jimmy Garoppolo will be the team’s starting quarterback for the 2021 season, but added that Garoppolo’s injury history means that the team has to have “better options” to back him up than they did last year. One of the options they are reportedly looking into spent the 2020 season as the starting quarterback in Carolina. Joseph Person of TheAthletic.com reports that the 49ers called the Panthers about a potential trade for Teddy Bridgewater. There’s no word on whether the conversation reached a point where the teams were discussing an offer, but a move involving Bridgewater would come as no surprise. The team was reportedly willing to trade him to the Lions as part of their offer for Matthew Stafford and their interest in making a run at Deshaun Watson when and if he’s made available has come up on multiple occasions. Bridgewater has a $17 million base salary and a cap hit of just under $23 million in 2021. A trade would leave $10 million in dead money on the Panther’s cap. https://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2021/03/01/report-49ers-called-panthers-about-teddy-bridgewater/

Two things here to consider, he was playing with broken ribs down the stretch along with many other injuries that were worse than originally reported, and if he comes back he would be playing for only a million bucks

Drew Brees is retiring. Unless he isn’t. Fitness trainer Todd Durkin recently posted a video on Instagram that shows Brees pushing a weighted sled while Durkin utters a string of superlatives: “What is he doing? . . . Drew, what are you doing? OK, he’s never done that! . . . Don’t know what he’s doing. . . . I’m not sure what he’s doing. Never quite been done before! . . . That’s a new record because it’s never been done before!” At one point, these words appear over the video: “Not sure WHY he’s so cra-cra today but something must be brewing.” The video has surfaced at a time when Brees has not yet retired, and when more and more people are wondering whether he will. After witnessing Tom Brady‘s Buccaneers (a team the Saints swept in the regular season) win the Super Bowl, Brees may be thinking about continuing his career for at least one more year. Regardless, Brees is working out not like someone who’s generally committed to a healthy lifestyle but like someone who is training for something. Something that, as Durkin noted on his video, “must be brewing.” https://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2021/02/27/trainer-posts-drew-brees-workout-video-suggests-something-must-be-brewing/
