I don’t know if you heard Rhule discussing Teddy at the end of the season, but it was pretty obvious that he and TB had ‘the talk’. 
 

TB knew the team wanted an upgrade.

Right, but the public didn't necessarily have to know that. The team could have hedged by not being so public about it so that if they did need to bring Teddy back out, the fans would only suspect.

It's complicated for sure. The team just seems to have left themselves no option but to replace him, if not have him entirely off the roster, and it's an odd way to play it. On the flip side though perhaps we can view the directness as refreshing.

I don't care what the business model behind the de-franchise QBing of the Carolina Panthers was, the results are embarrassing and has added more of a question mark as to what the heck is this Tepper guy is good at and is it at all applicable to a successful FOOTBALL operation? I have yet to see a strong football move aside from hiring Rhule, which is still an ongoing evaluation.

Success doesn't always translate over from one profession to the next, ask MJ, great at basketball, baseball is a totally different sport so much so that his "greatness" didn't translate.

All these obvious and public mistakes, including the Teddy contract doesn't exactly engender trust from the diehards. In hindsight aside from 2010 (intentional on JRs part) Ive never seen this team more out of sorts.

      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...
