My feelings exactly... and I want Teddy to succeed.

It hurt me to move on from Delhomme, and I knew he was washed up.

It's hard to believe in a football world where a healthy Cam wasn't worth keeping.  And beyond that, Cam as a presence will take years to replace.  If ever.

And as good a player as CMC is, he ain't that guy.  Neither was Peppers, and he's a 1st ballot HOF.  Or Kuechly.  Or anyone else.

The only guy that came close was Smitty, and he wasn't a QB.

Truth is, every time I think I'm over Cam, I see something like this and realize I'm not.  It sucks

You don't want exciting from a QB.  You want consistency.

Yeah, consistent "average Joe" just doesn't get it done in today's NFL. Back in the 80s and 90s? Sure. You could win Super Bowls with average consistent QBs backed with a solid running game and protected by a stout D. The NFL wants high flying big scoring offenses though because that's what excites the casual viewer and they've kept changes the rules and will keep changing the rules to get it. Adapt or die. If you don't have a QB capable of putting up 30+ TDs you don't have a shot. The Chiefs didn't give Mahomes half a billion because of consistency. They gave him that because he's a guy who can turn a two score 4th quarter deficit into a two score Super Bowl win.

Yeah I hope for his sake (and the team's) that he kills it and becomes a great QB.  But there is literally nothing less exciting to me than that picture.  I feel like we have a Nick Foles or Ryan Tannehill at QB.  Aka, he could work (for a few weeks), and only if the team around him does the heaviest of lifting.

Yeah, with CMC I feel like Teddy's ceiling could potentially be Tannehill level. Unfortunately, our D is a far cry from the Titans'. Meanwhile, Tannehill has thrown for 17+ TDs in every season since his rookie season including 4 20+ TD seasons. Teddy's career best is 14. That's the reality. Teddy having a run of the mill season for Tannehill would require his career best. Miami may have ended up moving on from Tannehill, but in all honesty he's been an absolute stud compared to Teddy.

      LoL at this guy being a Bowers. Complete lazy draft time BS. Watch this and see what a TE that's worth a pick at 8.  Warren looks solid but Bowers looked like a freaking stud.

      I don't know how Walker will end up. I know he's got real long arms, that makes you taller in a sense. He's around 245, you know with age you add weight. Im a size queen as well, but I also toss that aside if you can get the job done. I mean all-world DT darnold was barely 6'1 and one of my all-time favs John randle barely stayed above 260....but they still caused havoc and did their job. Georgia has been the best team at turning out players the last couple years, Walker is among their best.  Think 2 years from now, Walker is in the 265 weight range playing edge next to dbrown.....That side of the OL is in for a nightmare each snap. He's still got his coverage skills form LB days, but he's evolved into playmaking edge.(the hope) I disagree with no edge being worth the pick, there's about 5 edges I wouldn't mind at 8 including walker. Cause if you are drafting him that high, the plan must be edge. You are right about about Panthers draft habits, here's another I learnt over time. Even since Shaq Thompson, they like youngest players when the first pick happens(most years). DJ Moore, ickey, BY, Horn, burns, brown were among the youngest in the class. Walker is a young 21......in fact he just turned 21....
