Maybe Teddy Bridgewater wasn’t that bad….

I'm gonna sit here sipping my "I was content w/ Teddy" tea knowing full well this entire board was having an aneurism at the idea of him starting another game.

Truth is tho even I was wrong at the time, dude could not go deep. And without Curt? It wouldnt have been pretty.

Curt and Mike Davis were just as important to 2020's 'success' on offense.

Bridgewater games always went to the wire and to a field goal we would always miss. People love to poo on him here in this sub but the games were actually exciting to watch and we could actually move the ball. He played behind a putrid O-Line and was always running for his life.  I guarantee if he was on the team today, we would be leading our division. 

Think of all the draft picks and cap we would have saved if we had just stuck with him instead of making him the sacrificial lamb.

We lost a 2nd round pick and paid Darnold 20 million to ride the bench lmao

He wasn't BAD, he just wasn't good. 

 

Say what you want about swinging and missing on Teddy, Darnold and Baker,  a positive about this team is they will not be content on QB's and keep swinging. 

except they don’t know how to hold a bat and are facing the wrong way

Bridgewater wasn't anything special.

What he was though was right about Matt Rhule.

Most of us didn't believe him because we thought what he was saying sounded ridiculous, and it was.

Unfortunately, it was also the truth.

And for that crime he had to be banished.  We really showed him.  I'll bet Rhule pulled his scholarship, too.

That whole escapade was when I started to think Rhule was a dead end.

He was terrible at that job. He definitely lost games. Every time the game was close late he crapped the bed. 

I expected him to make mistakes, but that I recall the team was in every single game.  Listen I'm not calling the guy Peyton Manning.  I think he was average, and for a team that realistically at best could get a spark to make the playoffs, sometimes an average QB that won't consistently play crappy is all you need.

Yeah, but the games were at least fun to watch even though we would end up losing. It would always come down to last minute drive that would end in a missed field goal or Teddy trying to make a play that would lead to an interception. In the last 2 seasons, has anyone even had a chance to lead a game winning touchdown or field goal? Only one I can think of is the Atlanta game this year.

They were never going to replicate that first season even if Teddy were allowed to stay here.

Rhule had his shot to draft a qb twice and chose to get his people to fix someone else's draft busts.

    • That's not an nfl issue it's an owner issue. The owners put pressure on the coaches to play them before they are ready. Very few if any have a vet to sit behind for at least a year to learn and adjust to the game. The Panthers would benefit from having a serviceable veteran that would allow them to sit their next rookie. Had they done that last season maybe things would look different. 
    • My dude, why do you keep doing things like this?  I don't take joy in questioning anyone else's intelligence or reading comprehension skills, but you keep doing things like things, and I can't let such asinine responses go without calling them out, it's just not in me to do that. LITERALLY in the very first sentence of the post you quoted, I straight up acknowledge and accept that you would take the QB there if you can't trade down, which in turn, is an acknowledgement of how you view them as an elite prospect. Period. There is no debating that, I literally right there in the first sentence did EXACTLY what you are claiming here that I can't do.   BEYOND any of that, you're still completely ignoring my question to you, which is a completely valid question in a discussion such as this right now, let's recap shall we........ The generic question is what to do with the #1 pick.  It's near unanimous that we use it to trade down, great, since we all agree, we can move past it in regards to the current discussion, as it's a hypothetical that requires another team's help to happen.   So we move onto the question of what we would do with the #1 pick if we have to make the selection there, great, simple, easy peasy, on the same page still. You have said you'd take a QB, I disagree, but numerous times have acknowledge you and some others feel that way (even though you bafflingly thing I haven't, disagreeing with someone isn't refusing to acknowledge their view). In the last 28 years the only positions to go #1 overall have been QB, DE, and OT.  I've clearly explained why I don't see any of those positions making sense for the Panthers, in our current state, to take in this draft, with this draft class.  Because of that, you still have to make a selection, you don't get to pass on making a pick. So I said I would take T-Mac with a full explanation (numerous times) as to why I view him as the prospect to take compared to the other options.  To which you deride and question my football intelligence solely for saying I'd take a WR #1 overall when you don't have a QB. I then ask you a simple question, which you refuse to answer solely on the basis of you saying you'd go with the QB.  You can't attack someone for saying they'd take a WR there and then refuse to answer the question of who you would take instead if you couldn't take a QB. Because there is a very real possibility that the Panthers will look at the QB's and agree with me (and many others) that there isn't a QB that is worth the risk taking at #1 overall and they end up unable to trade back and have to make a pick there and won't go with a QB because of their grades on this class.   Which again, is my question to you, in THAT scenario, who are you drafting 1st overall if it's not a QB? It's a simple question, and answering it doesn't mean you don't believe in the QB's at that spot in the slightest, or even that I'm not accepting of your views on the QB's in this class.
