After this win and losing out on a top 3 draft pick, it looks like Teddy Bridgewater will be the starter next year

As much as it sucks to lose out on a high draft pick, I also don't think it is THAT bad if Teddy starts next year

Does he suck?  Yes.  But the fact is that anyone who thinks this was going to be a quick turnaround is fooling themselves.

This coaching staff is legit.  If we don't take a QB in 2021, we still easily could in 2022.  

I know everyone is disappointed.  I am too.  But it ain't the end of the world.  A team with good coaches will always find a way.  And if we make the right choice at GM?  Sheesh... this team is gonna be built for the long-term.

It’s only not that bad if we’re going full in on the tank for a QB next year.

One of the top 4 QBs will be available for us.

This too.  
 

We're fine.  And at the end of the day, if we REALLY love one of the QBs... we can trade up.  Not ideal, but if the QB works out, the trade up is always worth it.

It's disappointing, but ultimately we're okay.  I'd be WAY more disappointed if I didn't think Matt Rhule was gonna be a great HC.  I truly think he's gonna develop into that.  The way he has this team performing in his first year in the NFL, with basically no offseason?  Yea, Rhule is legit.  We'll be fine.

Not only next year, but the year after that also. I also wouldn't be surprised if we gave him a 10 year contract after that. This franchise is about as clueless as it gets (minus the Jets)

I mean, if Teddy is the QB, that is basically tanking.

This is entirely on David Tepper's moronic approach to team building. He wanted a winning season so bad this year when it was time to bottom out.

Loser owner.

The Panthers are fuged for a long time.

We can still get a qb but we HAVE to lose this last game.

That is literally not true.

I'm not watching next year if Poowater is still the QB.

Also a fair point.

I really think Tepper wants his franchise qb in the upcoming draft and would be willing to trade up in order to get him...

I really don’t see why everyone thinks all 4 QBs will be gone by the time we pick. That’s really unlikely. Stop overreacting 

Because there are about 10 teams that are desperate for a QB. We could possibly lose out on the top 6 if we win against the Saints

Now the Panthers will draft at the back end of the top 10, maybe out of the top 10 all together. Seems unlikely the team will draft a QB at that spot and the Panthers will have another season with Teddy Bridgewater at QB.

Trey Lance, Zach Wilson, Kyle Trask and Mack Jones could all be available at 10.

Dude, remove Teddy from this year's team and swap in just about any other average QB and this may very well be a winning team. Him starting again next year would be a huge rate limiter and basically conceding to another wasted year. Why the hell would they want that?
