Practice, repetition, coaching (thank you Lord, we finally have some), time (2 years) and patience.

True this. For every QB taken in the 1-5 range, a future long term starter, possibly pro bowl level talent falls, think Sewell, Surtain, etc. Eventually the relative and absolute value of these players rises until they become such a compelling pick at 6, 7 and 8 that the team on the clock can’t pass them. Stay at 8. We either get one of the four QB’s or a fantastic long term starter at a position of need for a consolation prize.

Still funny after all these years. Classic.

I'm going to go out on a limb and guess that he didn't do well with Wonderlic...

True. Whenever I walk my dog, he whistles are pretty women. He's incorrigible. "Bad dog"

Practice makes perfect

Yes, ANOTHER Watson thread but bear with me. After reviewing many of the Watson threads, it appears that Huddlers are self sorting into two cohorts: The first group would be thrilled to see Watson in Charlotte, but are skeptical about the price that may have to be paid to get him here; let’s call them Watson ‘curious’. And then we have the Watson ‘at any price’ crowd, implying or suggesting that Watson has the ‘it’ factor that solves every other roster problem and delivers a Super Bowl victory, for that is what it means to say, ‘at any price’; let’s call them Watson ‘maximalists’. So, time for the ‘maximalists’ to stand up and be counted. If you are in the ‘at any price’ crowd, you are challenged as the Panthers ‘GM for a day’, to declare specifically how much you are willing to give Houston in picks and players to secure Watsons services in Carolina. Next, explain how you will build a roster around Watson that delivers the Super Bowl. Now, don’t be a wimp and answer the first question only, for that is cheating. You still have to build a roster around Watson after you have traded away ‘X’ picks and ‘Y’ players. My bias is probably pretty clear at this point; I am Watson ‘curious’. And I am very concerned that anything more than two firsts (2021, 2022) and CMC may set this team back years, especially if it includes one or more of Burns, Chinn and Brown. ‘Maximalists’, you are on the clock. Go.

I notice that Bridgewater is not involved in any of the above trade scenarios. Intentional?

“Usually you pay double for that kind of action, Cotton”

I know. Was trying to suggest the idea that K-Mart coupons are still more valuable than Teddy Checkdown but the humor was too subtle. Admittedly, it's not my best work.

What do you have against K-Mart coupons?

Pie for Cerberus. I wonder how many got your mythical reference.

1 and 3 are facts; 2, 4 and 5 are conjecture and subject to debate

You can if you’re willing to stink it up for the upcoming season and draft in the top 3-5 next year.

Maybe. Depends on the price paid to acquire him.

Okay, I'll bite. Why?

Well, I'm David's accountant and he consults with me before he talks to any of you. Spreadsheets over ho's and family.

Several variations on that theme but the original quote was from Otto von Bismarck, "God looks after drunks, little children and the United States of America."

I played QB on our JV team so, obviously I’m qualified. I’ll play for half of Linville’s rate. I love running for my life on every play. [Checks notes]. What is a check down?

I would have gone with Exodus and Pharaoh hardening his heart, causing the various plagues to befall Egypt. Job works, though.
