Bridgewater to the Panthers

Good pickup by the Panthers. I have a gut feeling Rhule could adapt nicely to the pros. I'm not penciling in 2 W's vs the Panthers, I think we could have our hands full.

Well I wish TB the best just not the two games against the Saints

Good for TBridgewater.
He came through with leadership, being in the hot seat following Brees, and pulled 5 straight wins.
All I know 5 straight Wins were better than 5 Ls.
If he would have had just one L, fans would have smashed him on the the SD ceiling.
Yeah, that was his job.
Yeah, followed SeanPs system.
Yeah, it was a team? yeah.

Good for Carolina Panthers. Guy works on the field and shuts up off the field How refreshing for CP fans. I never liked whiney, baby , Figgy Cam Newton blaming everyone, his team...just not cool.

NFL is giving TBridgewater some accolades.

CPanthers and Tampa Bay, look for 8-8, 9-7 , or 10-6 season.
Ohoh. Saints, might be 10- 6, 9-7, or 8-8 too.
TB with TBrady, ok, but what else you got? A Greatest qb who needs to retire.
Same goes for TB and CP. What els do you have on the team?

The qb, the hc calls, his system and staff, it is all a match of just the right things clicking.

Come Sept to Dec, we shall see.

I was pretty sure Teddy was not going to stay with us for another year, but I'm not happy with the way this worked out. I respect the crap out of Mickey Loomis, but I have to say I'm disappointed we couldn't work it out that that we got SOMETHING when losing him.
I also know I'm in the minority on this board, but what I saw from Teddy was a guy who was a confidant playoff QB that went 5-0, and got better each game. Myself I'd have preferred he left the division. I'm more concerned about Teddy than Cam, just saying.

So what's our compensatory pick for Teddy... a 3rd? AJ Klein too; we should get one for him.

Help me understand your expectations when Loomis has nothing to trade.

You think we should re-sign him so that we can trade him? We should take up 20M in cap space in hopes we can get a 3rd round pick?

Loomis can not get something for nothing and when a player becomes a free agent the team has nothing.

You got something for Teddy, two years as a back up QB and 5 games when Brees was hurt.

My point is Mickey plays the CAP like a fiddle and he's fantastic at squeezing water from stone. Every year you see the reports on how up against the wall we are, yet Mickey always finds a way to make moves and still bring in talent. That being said it seems to me that we usually just let talent leave without getting anything in return. How many probowl starters are on other teams that we just let walk? IMO this is a weakness in Mickey's game.

Again, there is nothing to get in return for Teddy leaving. As far as for Loomis making things work, to what end with Teddy? We do not need two starting QBs.

Now I am going to turn your argument back on you. Mickey Loomis took Drew Brees and not only made him a Pro-Bowl QB but Hall of fame, All Pro, Super Bowl winning QB... Mickey Loomis took Taysom Hill (whom no one wanted) and made him arguably worthy of a first round tender. Shall I continue?

To the first paragraph -Yes, I get there was nothing to get from Teddy but there could have been if we'd signed him to a 3 year deal instead of a 2 year in the first place. Maybe we should have thought ahead. Teams keep trading stuff for Nick Foles...others are doing it why can't we?

To the second paragraph, I'm not sure what you're arguing. I never said he couldn't spot or draft talent, just that we tend to let talent go without getting anything in return. I don't know how to say it another way.
