Your problem is that someone told you about that 0-8, and you think it's a bible verse. What makes you think that any other quarterback will have the Panthers in those competitive situations. Some of you are willing to pay a kings ransom in an attempt to upgrade the quarterback position. If Teddy was so bad, why would it take so much to get better than him? 

Teddy sucked on third downs, when u 8 yds he throws it for 3 yds, need 5 yds throws for one yard, I mean how many more examples can I give you.

Precisely because there is such a gap between the good QBs and the others. An elite QB does not guarantee success in and of themselves but there's no question that offensive dynamics and flexibility are a major advantage in overcoming other team weaknesses.

In Minnesota, and in New Orleans, Teddy won. What happened here? 

They won despite his limitations via the supporting cast. That's always been the book on Teddy and non-dynamic QBs like that - can win a few games with loads of talent around them and perhaps the occasional Super Bowl with transcendent defenses but aren't good enough to elevate a team and overcome top-tier competition when it's on them to do so. Offensive football runs through the QB.

Where have I said that type of move was the only way?

It's what you want to do. You want style over substance. Teddy Bridgewater is not the worst quarterback in the league. As a matter of fact Teddy went from the top of the league in some categories to the middle. To want to blow up the team just to get rid of a player that only have two years left smells personal or just plain dumb.

I personally wont be watching if Teddy is the starter next year. 

 

I cant watch him take another sack on 4th down with the game on the line, or throw the ball to the LOS on 3rd and 8.

 

The team was a lot better than we thought it was going to be last year. Just good enough to give the fans some hope, but Teddy is the hope crusher. He plays scared.

Others perhaps but I've never said it's what I want to see happen. In fact, I've said many times that I trust the staff/FO to improve the QB position and team overall however they determine the best path forward. If it's selling the farm then so be it, and if it's through acquisition of a vet/developing of drafting a rookie then that's their call. This staff and FO is still an unknown but at this point they seem to recognize the need for a more dynamic QB. I think as a fanbase though the dropoff from a Cam Newton to Teddy has made the deficiency that much more apparent and folks might be a bit knee-jerk. Cam wasn't a completion machine but he was dynamic and a playmaker.

I've also not said Teddy's the worst QB in the league, but he's clearly a lower-tier starter at best and after almost 50 starts is what he is. I've no idea what categories you're referring to with the 'top of the league' comment, but if it's his 2019 numbers the stats were exactly the same with the exception of an outlier 4 TD game against an atrocious Tampa Bay pass defense where nearly 1/2 of his passing yards were YAC. Some yards, lots of short completions, few TDs, and an offense carried by the talent around him.

If you can’t win a game less than one score 0-8 by the way and can even try to throw for first down on 4th and 9 with game on the line it’s personal.

Sorry facts are a problem for you...0-8

But reality is any Avg QB giving 8 opportunities to make a game winning or tying drive.. Will Win Atleast 1 of those games.. Even a below avg. QB giving that many opportunities will luck into Atleast setting the team up with a short FG.. 

I'm also very sorry that 15tds and 11ints aren't considered a good season  by most ppl who watch football...lol

I just think that this fanbase has grown up and after having a Cam even a Jake Delhome.. Can see what good QB play looks like even if they have Byron Bell and Nate Chandler at OT and no weapons surrounding them.. Look at Cam numbers that season..  Now compare them to Teddy's last season..  We don't have to accept bad QB play ..

      If you wanted Danny Dimes here’s the chance

      By strato · Posted

      Too late to edit above but the quote is from this Diane Russini article in the Athletic: https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/5941684/2024/11/23/russinis-what-im-hearing-the-day-the-jets-fell-apart-and-the-broncos-rallied-belichick-best-fits/ Okay.. there you have sorry I left that out the first post.  Also waivers keep the contract intact. That is the major difference in released and waived. It's all in that link from the other post.

      Okay so I am reading something in The Athletic and it says that Jones had to pass through waivers. So I don't know. I looked this stuff up when we were number one there all offseason and I thought it said 4 years in the league got you vested, as they call it.  Vested gets you out of waivers as I understood it. I probably got something wrong, but when I think about the slack quality of journalism these days I wonder about that. So I went and looked, again. Well, well.  For everyone: "When a player has accrued at least four seasons in the NFL, they are considered a vested veteran. When these vested veterans get cut, they are released and their contract is terminated. When a vested veteran is released, they are an unrestricted free agent that can sign with any NFL team, and the team that released them doesn’t need to provide any additional compensation." It runs it all down here, where the quotes came from: https://www.profootballnetwork.com/waived-vs-released-nfl/ As far as Jones, the team turned down his 5th year option so I knew that meant he had 4 years in, because they re-signed him anyway, after turning down the much cheaper extra year.  The Athletic is owned by the New York Times so I shouldn't be surprised. That paper was an institution once upon a time but they let their standards go.
