Total cost for Teddy

It will be nice. You always have dead cap (most of it is built into overall cap hits), but Marty was truly impressive. $30M of our $39M in 2021 dead cap was from people signed in 2020 or not cut in 2020. I mean that’s just awful decision making when you are cutting people 1 year after signing them to starter deals and do it multiple times every year.

Don’t forget that Paradis and Reddick will cost 13.2M for their voidable years. Shaq will cost 18M(or 12 to cut). I don’t think wasting cap space is a tradition the Panthers are likely to stop anytime soon. At least from the looks of things.

It's going to be sad when this thread has to be made next year. 

It's a repeat. Last off-season the people with any objective reasoning saw all we were paying for Teddy, including losing compensation picks. This off-season it's Sam for 'basically a third', meanwhile it's really 3 picks (including a second, and if you argue otherwise please come back to this thread in a few days after the draft and reason how it's still somehow counts as a 'basically a third' when it's effectively an in-season pick at that time), cap space, and quite a lot more cap space if they pick up his fifth year option.

However, the truly sad this is Sam is much much much more of a gamble with Teddy. Last off-season those that knew Teddy, knew, and tried to explain what we were getting. This off-season it's similar, though I guess there's an outside (very outside) shot Sam somehow sheds all his negative traits, and makes use of his athleticism. Though that is absurdly unlikely.

Let's don't forget we have us drafting at 8 to thank him for as well.

Kyle or Grier should have been the play, nope Tepper doing stupid stuff once again rules the day.

I'm not convinced at all that we'd have a worse record with Grier or Kyle starting all season... In fact I think with Allen we may have had 1 or 2 more wins even.

Honestly, I'd have been fine with that.  It would have been a very smart decision.

Save a poo ton of cap, and kept the 3rd comp pick.

Flatly awful decision, and I will continue to blame Tepper.

Don't get me wrong, I completely agree signing Teddy was a bad decision. I was just responding to your point about us having Teddy to thank for drafting 8th (presumably instead of picking higher). I don't think he really hurt us in that regard. It's not like without Teddy we'd have been in play for Lawrence or Wilson... Unless the coaching staff blatantly tanked (which wasn't going to happen no matter who was at QB) we weren't going to realistically be in play for the top handful of picks regardless.

Teddy's signing was bad at the outset and steadily sunk to being one of the worst in franchise history. Not challenging Gilbert for the crown or nearly as atrocious signings like Chuck Smith or Matt Kalil, but pretty damn bad.

Man it might be worse than Matt Kalil. 

Kalil only made 25.6 Million for a year of mediocrity and a year on IR. 

Teddy is walking out the door with 31 Million for one year of subpar QB play.

No bueno.

Oh, I agree with ya, wasn't trying not to.

And no, I don't want players or coaches to even consider "tanking"....ever.

You and I both think that Allen, for pennies on the dollar, could very well have outperformed Teddy last season...that's tough to stomach once you factor in the cost.

Seriously? Grier? Did you watch him in 2019? Dude was complete trash. Allen was light years better than Grier in 2019. We didn’t even attempt to give Grier another chance when Teddy was hurt or at the end of the year. I would have started him to end the year since we were out of contention. Maybe he would have gotten us an L against Haskins. I think Haskins was way better than Grier.

I think our defense, offensive weapons, OL and coaching all wound up being good enough that yes even with Grier we probably have a similar record. Couldn't get much worse than Teddy at times, especially in the clutch.

Yep. I hated the signing from the start, mostly because I thought he would be an average QB who would make us something like a .500 team and keep us out of the running for one of the top QBs in the draft. Turns out he was worse than that and we still ended up out of the running for one of the top QBs in the draft so we had to trade a 2nd round pick to get Sam Darnold. 
 

Teddy Bridgewater was ALWAYS a bad decision, even if it worked out the best it could have and we got who we thought we were getting: just a competent game manager. No hindsight 20/20 bullshit on this one.

    • 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.  
    • “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 😃 
    • Bix has more tds through his first 11 games than bryce has his entire career....no comparison at all he made amazing throws during his first games his decision making just keeps getting better.  Young does not have the physical ability ro make the rhrows bo makes
