Mr. Scot

A trade up would make it more likely.

Maybe if we play him early in the season. By season's end last year, he couldn't handle a full starter's load anymore. We were runningback by committee at that point.

Like I said, you can have those things and fail. However, you can't not have those things and succeed.

Conducted by the beat writers of the respective teams... Four quarterbacks taken in the first four picks, Broncos trade up to take Lance at pick #3, Falcons take Fields, Mac Jones falls to the Bears, Panthers get Kyle Pitts.

Not so much "dunked on" as "misquoted". Verge said Tepper would be interested again if Watson was cleared. And FYI, more accusers have come forward. The count is now at 24, with 14 lawsuits filed and 10 still pending.

He's gonna need 24 good cases. Two new accusers have come out. The count for lawsuits officially filed is at 14.

They are, but there's more to it as well. You can have all of those things and still not be a great quarterback.

I've never seen the work of people who know what they're doing be improved upon by asking for advice from someone who doesn't.

One or two analysts have suggested this might be a good indicator of whether or not the Seahawks are willing to let Wilson have more input on their roster. If I recall correctly, Wilson also advocated the signing of Josh Gordon.

No argument that he kept Marty too long, but he's gone now. Just have to wait and see how well Rhule and Fitterer work together.

He could "weigh in" with the team's football people, but I'd rather he didn't.

The most important things you need to play in the current Panthers system are accuracy, intelligence and the ability to make good reads. Does Darnold have those things? been a while since I've read a scouting report on him so I couldn't say.

Tepper's not the guy making our free agency decisions. (nor should he be)

I don't know if I'm ready to go that far yet. Pretty comfortable saying that, barring a miracle, it's not gonna be Watson.

As in "the Panthers would need for Watson to be exonerated (not likely to happen anytime soon, if it happens at all) before they could agree to trade for him."

That dude was a real prize.

He's signing there.

What sort of gif would best represent calling you a communist?

Actually there has. Our own Verge said the "ship has sailed" for now and the Panthers would need for Watson to be exonerated (not likely to happen anytime soon, if it happens at all) before they could agree to trade for him. John McClain has acknowledged the same. While he says he does believe that Watson could still be traded at some point, it won't be until his issues are resolved which puts the time frame sometime before the trade deadline during the regular season (again, if it happens at all). Other general sources like Albert Breer and Peter King have echoed the idea that there's really no way anybody can trade for him right now. SI actually just brought out a pretty strongly worded column arguing that point. And also there was Ben Albright who reportedly listed three teams as having cooled on the idea of trading for Watson, one of them being the Panthers. So bottom line, whether you believe he's guilty or not guilty, nobody can trade for him right now. Nor should they.

"Unlikely" isn't the word I'd use.

At this point, I'm about half expecting the defense to come out with some form of "I have an illness / addiction / pathological issue so technically I did it but it's not really my fault". Granted, they could still come out fighting tooth and nail but I won't be terribly surprised if there's an element of image rehab involved. And if that is the case, then no you can't trade for him.

I think someone who would talk about women this way is probably a pretty large douchebag.

Two women have accused him of forcing oral sex. In your mind, that equates to "hurt feelings"?

They're also requesting that he admit guilt.

Of $500.
