Just a thought...
What if we give Teddy one regular season home game worth of support? There’s so much negativity based on what he’s shown in the preseason and 3 quarters of a road game against a team that just played in the super bowl.
I mean I get it, I’m not sold on him either, but I don’t think it’s unreasonable to try and support the kid over a few tough games standing in for a hall of fame qb. The juxtaposition doesn’t do him any favors anyway. Is there any other QB in the league that wouldn’t get picked apart by this forum if they were standing in #9’s shoes?
Worst case scenario, you’re all right and he’s terrible, and nobody can say he never got a fair chance. Granted that might ruin his trade value but it’s been dropping anyway. Best case would be winning all of the games that Drew misses, making him the obvious successor, or helping him land a job elsewhere. So maybe we as a fan base get behind him, and that confidence helps him perform better. I don’t see any benefit of rattling our starting qb who looks like he already has confidence issues.
To be fair, this is coming from someone who lives in NC, and is seeing people burn Newton jerseys, the same ones who burned Delhomme jerseys and ran John Fox out of town, only to get the current dumpster fire. But I could spend all night talking about how fickel and non loyal Panther fans are.
Anyway maybe we just support the kid for a few games, and give him the best shot possible.
Don’t hurt me
