I think they were honestly surprised how well the team performed last year and realize they’re a good/great qb away from being a playoff team already. I like the aggressiveness to get a qb. You pair that with the NFCS being a tossup in the next several years because of HOF qbs retiring/moving on and it’s understandable.

 

I just hope we make the right choices with who we are aggressive in pursuing. I didn’t like going after Stafford with our 1st pick but that’s just me. If we don’t get Watson, and I realize that is unlikely, I hope we make an aggressive move in the draft to get the prospect that we covet. While also upgrading the backup position who has potential and needs better coaching/organization, whether that be a darnold or Mitch or whoever

I guess you can read it like that.  I read it as "teddy sucks balls".

Yeah, he's terrible but we somehow absolutely did not expect that and it seems like that's led to a bit of desperation. Sitting at #8 very possibly on the outside looking in on the run on QBs is probably very much fueling that desperation. I don't think we're trying to trade for Stafford if we were sitting at #3.

At this point Teddy is going to have some seriously hurt feelings, but take it like a pro and play here confidently if his replacement isn't found for 2021. 

Dude has to know he's looking to get kicked to the curb by the Panthers' brass.  I doubt he lives under a rock.

I got $40 million reasons to think he doesnt give a poo

In year two.

 

 

(just waiting for somebody to tell me "hey, it's only been one year") 😀

They absolutely seem shook by the reality that Teddy was exactly what he's always out on tape in the NFL. Joe Brady's supposed brilliance and all of our weapons and he was still a barely mediocre NFL QB. I mean, it was entirely predictable but they seem stunned by it. Teddy was supposed to mean they could take their time finding the long-term answer at QB. It absolutely did not work out that way.

I've said before that we need to temper our expectations of Brady. This was, after all, his first year is a full-fledged OC.

Now with that said, and to be fair, it's possible that Brady got way more out of Bridgewater than another coach might have.

Teddy was exactly what I thought he would be after looking at tape from his previous seasons. The injury didn’t help matters. The situational football was really bad down the stretch, even with Brady on the field. It was just a mess, to be honest.

That one is on Brady as much as it is Hurney. Teddy was Brady's guy from NO so Rhule went along with it and is also to blame. The only blame Hurney really gets is handing him a loaded contract to boot.

Really in hindsight we should have just gone with Cam last year.

Totally agree...I had a typo...Hurney was not the lone guy making the decision. Brady is still the offensive coordinator and Rhule is the the HC. They Definitely played the major role in getting TB to come here.  They are not in college ball anymore. 
Reminds me of when Spurrier thought he could win in the NFL with Danny Wuerffel and Shane Matthews as his QB.

Side Note: Shouldn't we be hiring a defensive line coach sometime soon?

I know it was said that they'd interviewed some people but we never really got any more info on that

Oh, he gives a poo alright, it's a matter of how he decides to handle himself.  You can't be a athlete at this level and say money solves everything.  Deshuan Watson would like a word with you.

If he didn't have drive and competitiveness, I seriously doubt he could have recovered from that knee injury.

Gotta remember all of this is relative. Even the worst player in the NFL is one of the best athletes in the world.

Realistically, the ones that suck are still great, just not as great as others.

      Real Mid-Season Development at QB: Bo Nix

      By Icege · Posted

      One has a proven, offensive-minded, Super Bowl winning head coach along with a top 5 OL + defense. He's being protected and getting the ball back not having to chase the other teams. The other had Frank Reich + Thomas Brown their rookie year with a bottom 5 defense as well as a bottom 5 OL that gave up the 2nd most sacks against a rookie QB ever. The sophomore season is being ran with a top 5 OL but also with a rookie HC (that has just one year of OC experience) and a bottom 5 defense still. The Broncos defense has allowed over 20pts just three times this season (26 vs. SEA (L), 23 vs. LAC (L), 41 vs. BAL (L)). Meanwhile, the Panthers have had ONE game where the defense gave up less than 20pts (vs. NYG (W)).   I'm not sure how folks couldn't expect Bo Nix to statistically perform better given their incredibly different situations. With that said, I didn't expect Nix to keep ascending as impressively as he has this season. Hopefully his arc will give other older college QBs a better shot, especially given the recent media blitz against the NFL regarding how development of the QB position in the league seems to be non-existent. Hopefully Bryce continues to improve as well, of course.

      Real Mid-Season Development at QB: Bo Nix

      By 7CLOWNS · Posted

      “You can learn a lot in 10 games,” Nix said. “[I’m] still learning, still growing, but just finding ways to execute the play that’s called, no matter what it is: run play, pass play. It doesn’t matter. Just finding the right way to go with the ball.” To that point, Nix noted how his developing partnership with head coach Sean Payton has helped Denver’s offense get to the next level. “To be honest, I think at the beginning, you kind of make the NFL bigger than what it actually is,” Nix said when asked where he feels he’s made the most strides. “These players are really good, but at the same time, you have really good players on your level. I think simplifying the game, trying to play as fast as possible, and finding a completion, which is what we’ve been able to do here recently. “I think as we’ve gone on, Coach and I have found a good rhythm of what we both like, what we can kind of put out there on the field, and what we can execute. Then the guys have kind of adapted to it, found our roles within the offense, and executed at a high level. It’s just all about slowing the game down and processing things in a manner that you can handle. Just kind of see one or two things, and let those guys take you to where the ball is supposed to be.” -Bo Nix From what I'm gathering regarding Bryce, the Panthers entered this season with a reset mindset. It's Young's rookie year, which explains the benching. Now, we're beginning to see the development of Canales and Young's offense. Slow development but we're winning 😃
