How will Teddy do on Sunday?

[Jeremy Igo]

Teddy's debut as the Carolina Panthers starting quarterback comes against the Raiders and their less than stellar defense. They ranked the bottom 10 in the league against the pass last season. 

Will Teddy have enough of a grasp of Joe Brady's offense to score some points? Will DJ and Robby shine? Will we see Curtis Samuel being productive? 

 

What say ye?

Teddy will have a grasp of the offense.  Remember, he worked woth Brady in New Orleans.  And New Orleans actually had Brady personally get Bridgewater up to speed on the Saints offense when they brought him in.

Its all going to be on how the OL holds up.  If he gets pressured and rocked regularly, he probably will have a terrible day.  If he gets some protection, he is going to suprise some people.

 

 

OL holds up 300+ and 3 TDs

Bad OL play,  <200 1 TD

If our offense gets in a groove I think they can have a really good day, it's the defense I'm worried about. 

I expect a high scoring sloppy game, with the raiders edging it out. 

Teddy throws for 200 and no picks, McCaffrey has a monster 100/100 day.

Josh jacobs runs for 150, Raiders win 34-27.

For the most part, feel like he'll be asked to manage the game and maybe connect on one deep shot.  I expect A LOT of CMC Sunday (duh), but really feel like this is going to be a preseason game for us. Going to take a couple of games to get timing and other things down pat, so I'd expect us to keep it pretty simple. 

Teddy may know the offense, but none of our other guys have ever ran it in a live game. That's...concerning. As much as we want to see Brady's full offense, we're weeks away from that IMO.

Depends on the Oline, the refs being ready and if the Raider's D is ready. I suspect Teddy is fine in the new system but those other areas could give him great opportunities or get him killed. If he survives and can make progress throughout the game while not getting knocked onto IR I would consider that a huge win for Teddy's first game here.

[top dawg]

He's going to light 'em up! And it's going to be with a variety of passes in his arsenal, but with heavy reliance on his pinpoint accuracy giving CMC and the rest of the playmakers the opportunity to do what they do best with YAC!

I was going to say 220 2 & 1...

I see it being one of the extremes.  Teddy does fantastic or poorly.  Neither really being that Teddy centric in the cause. 

New offense.  New HC.  New OC.  No real offseason.   Week 1 (defenses usually ahead in normal times).  

So I think the stage is set for a very bad week 1 as realistic  

BUT there is absolutely no way our opponent can prep for the Panthers offense in reality.   You can study LSU tape.  Saints tape.  Teddy tape.  But no one has seen Teddy with Joe.  No one has seen any of these players together with Joe or Teddy.  A complete wildcard.   Which should be a massive advantage. 

So neither would shock me.  I would be most shocked by a well fought close game.

Teddy has never had more than 14 TDs in a single season. If you DOUBLE his production that's 28 td, so assuming he doubles his production that means he might score 2 td this week, maybe, but that's only if he does twice as best as his previous best years.

250+ yards and 3 TDs no turnovers. But will it be a mirage?

[LinvilleGorge]

He'll be what he is. Just okay.

[Icege]

He will do well, but the people that don't know poo about football will be in here downplaying him on Monday along with Shaq, Samuel, or whoever else the mouthbreathers have bought a narrative on
