Face the fact that this is becoming the way it will turn out. Only option now is to MOVE UP and TRY and grab a QB before the rest.

In the last month the tables have turned and between retirements and circumstances, they are now at a premium.

Doubtful  that they will get whom they actually wanted. Whom ever it is, will surely not be ready for prime time on day one. Another season of T.B upcoming untill the rookie is ready....if ever.

I mean it was pretty much destined for him to start anyway.  It's not like we have a better option currently.  They will throw crap at the QB position until something sticks.  Teddy will have real competition this season, hopefully.  Otherwise I suspect we may be drafting in the top 10 once again next off-season.

For the record, I’m perfectly fine with TB starting only under the conditions that we draft a 1st round QB to let him sit for a season. It makes the most sense from a long term rebuild perspective and cap perspective. If you look at our roster, we are one year away from getting pieces that we need to compete, then after that I expect the pressure to be on Rhule to win the division. 
 

After an unprecedented year in which we didn’t have an offseason, had more dead cap than anyone in the league, had the most turnover, and had to basically start all over on defense (8 starters gone), we now have to focus on our other major opportunities then we will be set. The following season we can be in great shape with cap, along with having a QB on rookie wages. We have to rebuild the O line completely, get another DT, LB (maybe two) and CB (maybe two) minimum. A rookie QB seems like the very logical thing to do, we have to stop doing this back and forth between rebuild and re tool when we all know we are in a rebuild. Now that Hurney is gone I believe we can use common sense for once rather than putting a band aid on things to save his job.

With everything Ruhle and Tepper have said and intimated, I'd be AMAZED if Bridgewater goes any longer than the second day of training camp as the presumed starter.

Remember when Clausen was still the "starter" until like day three in Spartanburg and then he complained about it lol

They better find some competition then.  Because currently Teddy is a lock to start.

      Easily. To be able to plug in a backup LT without much drop off from your starter? That could mean the difference between playoffs or sitting at home in January. Good/serviceable smart young and healthy LTs that won’t lose you a ball game at reasonable $$ don’t just come along every day. Everyone talks about the most important positions on a football team… backup LT is in the top 10.  Picture next year… the team is scrappy and competitive, 4 and 3 record, second place in the South. Morale is good. devastating run game that Let’s our marginal defense get plenty of rest. We play the Bucs and win, going to 5 and 3, but we lose Ickey to a high ankle sprain. Atl loses that week and are now at 5 and 3 as well. There is no Ickey and no BC because we let him go… and we go in to Atl the next week for a battle of first in the south. Week after that is the Jets…. Now they lose both by 10 and 3, respectively, and fall to 5 and 5 going in to their bye week. Atl is at 7 and 3. Out of typical Panthers desperation, they try to rush Ickey back in to the lineup with a saints game coming up…  Back to good old Panthers football, always playing catchup. Another season at .500 and the fans sadly rejoice in mediocrity, when playoffs were in reach. This team always overestimates its ability to pick up quality o line depth in the draft or FA and it always blows up in their faces. Like Chuba, I see him as being part of the core that Dan is trying to build. Work on his contract now and see if we can come out with something mutually beneficial. I’d consider 3 yrs at $25m to be very fair.

      it would be great to have "double trouble" again, I even had a T- shirt for Williams and Stewart and the double trouble logo, was a great time to be Panthers fan. We shall see...
