CRA

Main thing that has me pumping the breaks on judgement is that no matter the number the allegations remain largely all the same....and via the same attorney. clearly trade talk is paused. Not ready to convict Watson yet.

The burden isn’t on Watson to prove his innocence though. Short term he takes a hit but we know how that story goes in America. It moves on and forgets. and given who the attorney is (if all this is turns out to be allegations of he said she said)......all Watson’s team has to do is prove one is liar in the public square. which is problematic in the grand scheme of their really are victims though. And a reason why a shady lawyer can be a problem.

Well, my opinion, is Cam basically was that....we got the best of what he could be. He climbed the ladder to being the best player in the NFL. Cam wasn't the reason we didn't win more. The problem wasn't we didn't develop him correctly IMO. The problem was the other players around him and our inability to build well rounded teams. We wasted great years that we had with Cam. And if you "developed" Cam to be this more ideal QB IMO you risk ever having him be great. Cam is just too unique.

Well, as I have said, I went into this wanting Cam from the jump. But when I lobbied for him I always believed he would have a short career because his body was going to be put on the line in ways you don't normally see. I loved the Cam era. I still think the biggest issue was simply the bodies/talent we put around him weren't good enough. A front office problem.

Letting Cam be Cam also means not trying to make him fit in your box.....which in large part would have prevented Cam from having success IMO. Cam was literally the best player in the NFL at one point. Letting Cam be Cam worked. Just came down could you put bodies around him that he needed. Plus, there is the personality aspect. Not just the playing style aspect. Ron let Cam be Cam there....which was also a big aspect of things. That likely could of gone wrong for a lot of teams as well. Coaches IMO often get treated like QBs. Too much credit and too much blame often. Ron Rivera is a very solid coach. Ron wasn't the problem. Personnel IMO often was.

well, he got hurt being a great football player. I think Cam was always more of a great football player than great QB. Like The Golden Calf of Bristol in some respects just even more physically gifted. Tom Brady doesn't get hurt on that play because Tom Brady ain't running that guy down and making the diving tackle. Brady focused on playing QB.

that's adding words though. "develop" I said I think Ron was a good fit for Cam Newton. A unicorn in almost every imaginable way.

well, I was always a firm believer that if you saw Cam Newton achieve greatness in the NFL.......you would also see him have a shorter career than most that were able to climb to that tier. I never believed in transitioning him to a guy that would play a long time. I wanted him to play Cam football in the NFL. He did. He was great. We could of done more while he did it but we sucked at building a team around him that would win.

I'm going to slightly disagree with this. Big picture, I think Ron Rivera was actually a good fit for Cam. Rivera did in large part let Cam be Cam. Both from a playing perspective and personality style. I don't think many coaches would have done that and it was the only way you would have seen the good Cam. Which we did. I think the biggest disservice they did to Cam was form a personnel stand point and building around him poorly.

just got to let it play out. I mean you could invent a million hypotheticals at this point in any direction.

I mean this this time last week Watson was still the golden child.... Outing people? Watson’s camp likely doesn’t even know who all they facing allegations against at this point and who they would need to counter.

Fields can run a 4.5 and you should still pick him over Lance. Fields has the highest ceiling of every QB in the draft. And was the most accurate passer and displayed the best legs over his college career.

Warren Moon was acquitted Micheal Bennett had his charges dismissed. I mean didn’t Peterson always admit to using a switch on his kid from the jump? He took a plea deal.

It’s the off-season.

suppose to come out in June. Think that has potential to be the best of the Disney bunch. Haven't watched the Faclon/WS one yet.

And Fields went at #9? no thanks. Lance is going to have to sit and we might as well trade Joe Brady if we are going the Lance route.

Still too much unknown to call it any which way. if it never evolves past a bunch of anonymous Jane Does making allegations and nothing more? Watson and the Texans aren’t screwed yet. It’s the NFL. He would just keep playing and everyone would forget about it at large. Not advocating that is right. But again, look at superstars in the NFL and more specifically the only QB comparable which is Big Ben.

You would think a wild sexual deviant would of had allegations and rumors that existed in years that weren’t exclusively isolated to 2020.

There isn’t a lot normal when it comes to young mega wealthy single athletes.

Rather spend a 2nd on Darnold than the 8th on Jones or even Lance. I’m not exactly a Darnold homer.

Not really a twist, whack job attorney being his predictable self. If Watson is guilty, it probably would be better off for victims if someone else was leading this charge. a potential outcome could easily be this attorney bullshitting too much and stacking to many accusers aggressively....then in a strictly he said, she said scenario with no actual damning evidence all it is going to take is Watson’s attorney finding one liar to blow it up.

I still think Sam Darnold in a new situation with talent/coaching is no bigger gamble than some of the draft prospects If he could be had for something that isn’t a first

got to have more than Jane Doe from Instagram allegations to get on that list...
