This is from Sheil Kapadia's latest article in The Athletic.

How to avoid a disastrous offseason

Also from that article, under the heading of not using significant resources to acquire mere competence at quarterback:

Having said that, if you don’t have one of those guys (i.e. a franchise quarterback), you don’t just sit the season out. You look for someone competent who can buy you time. The key is you shouldn’t commit significant money or draft capital when doing so. The way the league is set up right now, you can find someone like Teddy Bridgewater or Gardner Minshew at a reasonable price. That’s much more preferable than coughing up $25 to $35 million per year and/or draft picks for a player who might have a higher floor but still has a relatively low ceiling. Moves like that aren’t going to get you very far anyway, and you’re probably going to end up regretting them.

Sad part is we didn't find Teddy Bridgewater at a reasonable price either, $30m for one year of play.

If we keep Sam this year the total 3 year cost of Teddy and Sam will be:

$56m ($30m for Teddy, $20.6m for Sam) a 2nd, 4th, and 6th. 

(I didn't even include the potential 3rd round comp pick we lost out on by signing Teddy)

Scary part is the tab isn't closed yet.  If we add another QB this year you can add that to the 3-year total.

So they saying we should have kept Teddy, that’s funny.

Why is Tepper willingly embarrassing himself to this degree? It really is awful to be a fan right now. I can’t imagine many players will want to come here.

Drafted or FA. We got the litter of the coaching barrel (partially retired & recently fired) and really nothing to speak of other than Chinn (who they don’t use correctly), Burns (sack artist) and DJ. 

This team sucks.

Yeah I was just saying it’s funny because they know more than our staff. I didn’t like Teddy either but if I knew before that was the plan was to get Darnold, I would have been hell sign me up for another year of Teddy two gloves.

Yes.

And I hated Teddy.   But if the answer was Teddy or Sam, it's Teddy.  (and I thought Sam would have been an upgrade).  Because we sank double $$$ and incredibly valuable draft capital.

 

We'd be sitting good with a lot more cash and draft picks if we just kept Teddy for 2021.

      It is Quiet...Too Quiet: Thanks Dilworth Neighborhood Grille?

      We all remember 2023, when the Teppers were making the Pro Day rounds.  Then last year, the owner of this restaurant, blocks from Bank of America stadium, sent a message that was received by the Panthers' owner. 😡😠🤬 https://www.foxsports.com/stories/nfl/panthers-owner-david-tepper-makes-news-once-again-on-day-1-of-nfl-draft Why would an owner of a restaurant put up a sign of this nature?  Flashback to the Tepper Pro Day tour.  Brace yourselves: THE PRO DAY CIRCUIT,  2023  "THE HORROR." That is Nicole Tepper, all up in the prospect evaluation process with some motherly love and awkward post-hug expressions.  I was like, "What is she doing there?" Here is the lovely owner of the Panthers on the front row among scouts and our head coach at Ohio State's pro day in 2023. MODERN DAY:  APRIL 2025 So, have David and Nicole realized that ownership in the NFL does not make you an evaluator of talent?   Will their egos allow them to let others do their jobs?  Or should we brace ourselves to see their thrones moved to the war room on April 24, preparing for their draft day interventions?  Have they been on the pro day circuit?  Have we tarnished his desktop brass balls?  Did the bartender hurt his feelings?  Did he get the message?  Just because we don't see them, it does not mean they are not there--lurking in the shadows--hugging people and talking to coaches.  Texting stuff. "Dan, take who you want, but that Offensive Guard from Guilford is my third cousin twice removed."   We need to be diligent.  Stay focused.  Keep them away from the brain trust.  Seriously, did they get the message?  What have you heard?  Are we safe? Recently, GM Dan Morgan was asked if the Teppers were involved in the private workouts at BOA.  Morgan refused to answer, but he did stare at the reporter for 43 seconds.  This photo shows Morgan being asked about the Teppers' involvement during a recent presser: According to inside sources, a hyperbaric oxygen chamber, made famous by Morgan during his playing days, was recently seen being delivered to Morgan's office shortly after meeting with the Teppers, a meeting that included a power point featuring the Teppers' top 50 prospect list.  Please post any Tepper-related news here.  Hoping there is not any.

      TJ Watt is stirring up social media with throwin up a ✌️. Sounds like he either wants out or knows he is out.  So. question is, if the Steelers come calling and offer 21 and TJ Watt for 8, are you biting?
