(Soon-to-be) Panthers RB D’Onta Foreman tries recruiting QB Deshaun Watson https://sports.yahoo.com/soon-panthers-rb-d-onta-040024544.html?fr=sycsrp_catchall

The way we got out of QB limbo last time was Hurney drafted Pickles, we lost 15 games, and we drafted Cam Newton. We nearly won the SB, and would have gone back had he not busted his shoulder imo. That is how quickly you can turn it around. Those top couple of draft picks are pure gold in a season where top QB prospects are available. Counting on a Brady or Watson to pop up in free agency and fall in love with how well we did with a lower tier QB is not something that I would ever make a plan for. You plan for the draft.

The Saints have been trotting out a first ballot HoF QB with a HoF Coach for 14 years and developed a reputation for great offense long term. That is what impressed Watson, and he still might come here instead. If we gain an incredible reputation for great offense and great coaching staff after over a decade of having a HoF QB and coach THEN I might change my approach, but not likely.

Baker is not good enough for us to be one of the top teams in the NFL in the future. Having a lower tier competent QB is actually the worst case scenario for the Panthers imo. Baker would be good enough to keep us out of the top ten of the draft, but NEVER good enough for us to even sniff the SB imo. That is QB limbo. That is the worst thing a football team can do. Better that we start Darnold in 2022, and draft a top prospect in 2023. No more QB limbo under any circumstances. Bottom out and pick a top QB, or land Watson. Don't do ANYTHING else.

I think Watson behind our retooled o-line, throwing to DJ, CMC, Robby, and Terrace should produce a good passing offense. We know what CMC can in do running the ball. Losing a couple pieces from our defense will of course lower our defensive performance. It is no major task to replace defensive players in the long run. Securing a franchise QB could take many years, and even then there is no guarantee you'll land one in the draft. Maybe, maybe not. So long as we don't have a franchise QB we are not winning the SB. Missing some defenders is nothing to worry about in the long run.

So now the Falcons are involved? Oh my god.

And if we do too well all the sports media outlets will repeat the same line "worst 12-0, 13-0 ect team of all time."

Did that make it to 2?

Not if there is something negative to report. We took over every media outlet when Hardy had his scandal. Round the clock Panthers coverage.

Right about the Browns! We made it to 200!

I think the instant Tepper saw Sam out there playing like trash he knew our scouts were clueless in evaluating QBs. Literally a random football fan could have told you Sam was a bad idea. At that point I think Tepper decided that we needed a proven QB who has played at a high level. No more of this long shot wing and a prayer nonsense, and drafting a QB with these scouts would be similar to gambling.

So as I was saying 4 hours ago. This is how it is. So we have a while to wait.

I'm speculating that he will be meeting with the Browns. I'm not saying that as a reported fact.

Would you accept Mary Kay Cabot? I don't know who you would accept.

Everyone is dissmissing La Canfora as being full of it.

The Browns are preparing a deal and I think they will be given the time by the Texans to make their offer. I think Watson will still need to visit the Browns before any deal will be made. So I don't see a need to check twitter for a while.

The Browns must know that this deal isn't close to being done. The Texans must have told the Browns they have time to put together an offer. Looks like we're gong to have to wait a while imo. Just my speculation given some facts.

Oh NOOO. Watson is leaning toward the Saints, and he's lukewarm to our offer!
