I have no idea about anything panthers currently. Teddy over Cam?!?!?

That seems to be the story.

Technically, he may not be (hence the "bridge" talk).

The old saying goes that you don't wanna be the guy who replaces the superstar. You wanna be the guy who replaces the guy who replaced the superstar.

Whoever we end up drafting at quarterback this year or next is probably Newton's actual successor.

I was thinking same

Panther have had LOTS of WTF moments during their 25 years, this off-season just made them the league all-time leader in WTFs.

Bridgewater was Kyle Allen in NO but luckily for him Brees came back before he was exposed like Allen

Come on man...did you watch him when he played for the Vikes? No telling how far they would have went in the playoffs if it wasn’t for the horrific missed field goal to end the game. Since then he had a horrific injury and came back to prove he is good enough to be a solid starter in the league. 

[Double Trouble]

Hoping this is fully guaranteed in 2020, with $5m guaranteed in 2021 and 2022 or something extreme. Not getting my hopes up at all though.

Yes I did and I was actually at that game where Walsh shanked that kick. 

Bridgewater isn’t very good. He’s a game manager and we don’t have the pieces to win with a game manager at QB. 

Now we sign Boston back? This organization has no direction and hasn’t for some time. Half in while being half out. 

The only thing that would make any sense at this point is if we were to draft Herbert or Love so they can sit behind Teddy. If the plan isn’t QB then it sure as hell better be WR. Because Teddy needs all the damn help in the world

Hope he does well, but I wouldnt want to be the guy replacing Cam.  He has big shoes to fill.

We won 5 games and had playoff hopes (even with that terrible defense) with a game manager last season. Then he started playing like a rookie instead of a solid game manager and the wheels fell off. 

[Jared Patterson]

Is this contract top heavy as well, so we can cut him when we draft our QB???????

[Cpt slay a ho]

I still can’t believe we signed the darker version of Kyle Allen....Teddy is the definition of mediocre

Very unpopular, yet fair point.  

[Shocker]

Awesome...glad to have one of classiest players as our QB.

You’re in for a looooooong year if you think a game manager QB like Bridgewater is going to allow for us to compete this season.

That money could’ve been spent a hell of a lot better. Signing Austin Hooper would’ve done more for a young QB than sitting behind Teddy will not to mention the cap implications his contract has on a team full of holes from top to bottom
