Gonna be lots of disappointed Panther fans in here. I absolutely cannot wait for the game day threads when the same people saying hes a "top 10 qb" are calling for him to be benched/cut. Good times ahead

Find it odd a guy using the team logo as his avatar would be so eager to see the QB the team has invested in fail.

What gives?

What are you hoping for?

I hope that Bridgewater shows poise and confidence.  He is able to use the run-pass option to perfection with McCaffrey and DJ Moore proves to be a reliable #1 option.  If the Offensive Line can play just average, Bridgewater could rank around #10.

Teddy is a tough one to gauge.  When he was in Minnesota, the offense was based around running the ball with AP and playing strong defense.  That was not because of Teddy, that was just who the Vikings were before he even walked in the door.  I think their plan was for him to open up the offense, but he got hurt before they could make that transition.  And given the coaching staff, I am not sure how willing they were to stick to that plan until they ran AP into the ground.

As for last year, teams generally tighten up the playbook when the backup has to take over.  It's less about ability (although in theory there should be a drop off or they are starting the wrong guy) and more about timing and familiarity with the receivers and line.  Generally the playbook opens up a little every week, and I think the game-by-game numbers in New Orleans suggest that happened there.

I think we know enough to have a handle on what he does well.  I'm just not sure we have any idea what his overall limitations are.  Could he do more if he is asked to?  Based on what he did as time wore on in his starting stint last year, I think the answer is yes.  Is he going to single-handedly carry the offense to success?  I don't think so, but I am not sure I want to see any more of that, anyway.  Not only could Cam carry the offense when he was healthy, the offense usually relied on him doing just that.  Let's hope the current brain trust is a little more creative than that.

      If you wanted Danny Dimes here’s the chance

      It amuses me how Goff's name the last few years is often used to compare to subpar or underperforming QB's. Now on the surface I get it. But when you look at his numbers he's been the same QB all along. He's improved his completion % but even with the Rams he averaged 63.4. And that Super Bowl he played in they should have won honestly. If we can get a QB as good as Goff I'll be pretty damn pleased.

      And it remains to be seen if Goff has that ability or not. Plenty of very good QB's like Goff were not able to get over those playoff humps. Matt Ryan, Kirk Cousins, etc. You can still be an upper tier QB and never get over that hurdle. McVay just thought(and hasn't been wrong yet) Goff was never going to be that guy.

      We finally get to see Brooks this week

      You literally simply have to think logically for either of those guys. Smith is locked up on a deal for 2025, so we would have to trade for him or he gets cut. Neither of those scenarios are likely in the first place.  Wilson will be 37 in 2025. Why on earth would he have any interest in a situation that is far worse than he was given in Denver and wasn't able to win there? He's a guy that can drop into any ready to win franchise in the NFL and immediately elevate their chances of winning(provided they already have QB issues).  Frankly, that is either speculation that even David Newton should be embarrassed by or it shows how disconnected with reality some people in our organization are.   I do agree with him on getting a veteran QB, however. That's our best chance to keep developing our talent.
