I take solace in the fact that even if we don’t land Watson, since the Falcons and Saints are both in the mix as well one of those two will be disappointed as well.

garry cobb?

Yea him

Where the fug is Larry gob

fair assessment 

If Watson meets with 22 teams he needs to be investigated.

Who the hell is Gary cob

Well, they've started on that with the move for that Guard yesterday. One step in the right direction. 

Right, you have to think that was part of the pitch when they met with Watson yesterday.

If you want Watson to play until his mid thirties he won't be running with the ball in his hands and we gotta protect him. There's definitely some Debbie Downer takes in here but this is the main aspect where we must be honest with ourselves after Cam. And truth be told Tom Brady playing into his mid forties has kinda given way to some unrealistic expectations.

Agree he has to be protected. Hopefully this FO realizes that and invests in their franchise QB unlike how Cam was treated the majority of his prime.

Expect a decision today. If that wasn't obvious already.

Forget the off-field stuff. Forget the will we or won't we stuff.

Real talk... is Watson actually good enough to warrant the type of trade bounty that we're talking about? He's had one great year when his team went 4-12. When the Texans we're actually competitive he was basically being used on a high level game manager type of role. We've never seen Watson in a situation where he's being asked to play like an MVP level QB on a competitive team, yet we're falling all over ourselves to gut the franchise to get him.

Is this actually a smart bet from a pure football perspective?

I'm not trying to argue that Watson isn't good. He's damn good. But is he top 5 NFL QB good? Nothing I've seen from him makes me confident in saying that. Not with guys like Brady, Rodgers, Mahomes, Allen, Herbert, Burrow, Wilson, etc., etc. out there. I think you're gutting the franchise for likely the 7th or 8th best QB in the league. Yikes.

The thinking is even a top 8 QB gives you a shot at winning the super bowl every year. The opportunity to land a 26 year old proven NFL QB just doesn’t happen very often, hence the bounty. The good news is the trades would be “paid off” by the time Watson is 29, and you’d think he’d have another 5-7 years left in him at least. Ultimately Tepper wants a super bowl more than anything, and he isn’t a patient dude lol. Maybe I’m just an optimist but I’m ready to roll with Watson if it works out, and if he goes to the Saints, well good luck to them giving up that bounty.

It’s much easier to build a defense through free agency/draft than it is to land a proven top five QB which is an opportunity that comes along maybe once a decade if that.

There’s no way he’s worse than what we have.

Sign him, draft Malik or whoever the fug to backup.

Darnold becomes the best third stringer this side of Gastonia.

If only he gave as much effort as getting away from the cops as breaking a tackle.

Lol it’s all traffic poo that happened PRIOR to last season…but y’all be angry for being late to the party.

yes traffic poo like a felony for trying and failing to get away from a cop

At least don’t get caught if you’re going to be an idiot.

Lol but did he get away?

Nope

I said it then and I said it now but we had posters thinking it was outrageous to do so, once you have the most Important position locked in(qb) the clock starts ticking, we spent too much time during cam’s prime questioning whether he was a franchise guy instead of surrounding him with what we needed to consistently compete for a chip.

i also wanted us to trade up for a wr like evans or Odell instead of settling for Benjamin 

Fwiw I remember Gettleman always stressing “there is no window”. His strategy was old school, build through the draft win in the trenches yada yada. Turns out he was dead wrong and “windows” are a very real thing.

Holy poo how did we do this? 

But we did invest draft capital in Darnold ffs

but at this point why the hell not. Just keep throwing darts blindfolded each off season in the hopes of landing a starting NFL quarterback I guess. 
 

This state has enough nut jobs already, no thanks.

Regarding Cam, basically said the Panthers reps will sit down with Cam and his reps at some point.

What I get from that is when Cam isn’t re-signed, he won’t find out from twitter.

Never heard of him but Pep Hamilton is a cool name so I’m in.
