He's gone fellas. Leave it in the past and move on once and for all. We have a clean slate now.

Many here very much wanted the Panthers to draft Will Grier while later shunning Justin Herbert. That should tell you what you need to know about the evaluation skills of most armchair gm's.

Apologies if it seemed I was piling on. I am in complete agreement with you that building up the offensive line should be a atop the pecking order in importance moving forward. However I do feel we can certainly reach a middle ground between the paltry number of touchdowns last year and a generational talent such as Mahomes. It will require patience however which is something that is in short supply in an increasingly instant gratification society. But the Panthers must still exhaust all resources at their disposal trying to locate the quarterback who can get us there.

Mahomes threw 38 touchdowns behind that offensive line last year. Bridgewater threw for a career high 15 touchdowns by comparison. I certainly understand the sentiment and that we need to work on our line but let's be reasonable here please.

With all due respect. Two yard passes on fourth and long with the game on the line are the opposite of trying to do too much. There is no need for personal barbs or some of the ignorance that has been directed at Teddy. However we can and absolutely should be seeking to upgrade at the position as basic due diligence. We can do better than what transpired last season.

After a full season of watching what we had behind center last year I just want to see a quarterback capable and willing to move the ball. In that aspect particularly when it counts. All that matters is if he can help the team. Draft talk is hindered greatly by petty bias revolving around whichever college a prospect played for. This franchise is not at all in a position to be very picky. The uphill battle for regaining competitiveness within the division is one that will take time no matter which route we decide to take at quarterback. Make sure we get the right football player and leave all the other nonsense at the door.
