Dare to dream.

I don’t know if this has been said or not, but Watson’s people are saying they did NOT leak this info. It came from the team.

I was convinced we were moving on from TB when we signed TB. It was clear he was a temp.

Not many orgs are so quick and willing to admit mistakes and move on from their big off-season acquisitions. It’s clear Rhule will move on from a guy fast if he isn’t performing. Regardless of who that person is. That bodes well for the future.

Last year all we had was Cam threads and a 500 page Covid thread. I’m cool with this story.

Rooney doesn’t like change I guess.

Deshaun has to know that his contract PLUS losing years of top picks will tank his chances of near term success on a new team. If I’m him, I pick one team and say I’m only going there. That should lower the price to a more reasonable level and allow his new team to build around him.

Yep, a lot of QB churn with no results. I don’t see how any team can ‘out-offense’ the current chiefs roster. The only viable strategy may be building a D that can stop them. That would be one hell of a defense though. How do you out do what the 49ers had last year....

yep It’s the Mahomes effect too. Teams are seeing the big gulf between his play (and Rodgers + Wilson) and their own QBs. If a guy isn’t playing at that level, teams aren’t going to be satisfied.

I think he meant to say we have one OL under contract and need to buy in bulk there.

All it takes is trading up twice to have sunk 3-4 first rounders into a QB.

I see it the same way. QB purgatory is real and can last DECADES. What would you pay to avoid that? We could use our 1st this year on a guy who is more likely to bust than not. Next year we will prob use our 1st and maybe give up a future first to trade up for another rookie QB who could also bust. 3 firsts is not a crazy price given that we know Watson is an elite QB. I honestly see Carolina spending 3-4 first round picks over the next 5-7 years trying to find someone like Watson. Even after spending that kind of capital, it’s still a low chance we’ll find someone like that.

If he gets injured a lot at 20-21, he doesn’t stand a chance at 25-27 (with a longer nfl season). Sounds like he isn’t worth any pick.

Stafford wants to go to a real contender. He’ll be a colt or 49er. We really aren’t in the convo except to drive the price up.

Yeah, Rhule said you want a young QB to have mobility. It helps them extend plays since their processing is slower. Older guys can get away with not being mobile since they process so quickly. tldr; goodbye Trask and Jones.

Let’s hope Rhule and Flores become best friends this week at the senior bowl and work out a trade for that #3 pick.

I’m with you.

We trade down and gather 4+ picks in the second round. If we can’t get a QB then we fill as many holes as we can.

It’s more than clear from recent comments that Tepper knows we need a QB. That’s obvious to anyone. Even if we want to trade, it’s looking like the ability to trade might not even be there. So many teams in front of us need a QB.

Yep, I don’t see how we snag a QB this year. Trading back is the most likely play. Looking forward to that 6 win season next year.

Picks are life when you’re rebuilding. You don’t give them away for a past-his-prime injury prone QB. We can get one of those for no picks somewhere else. Id be ok giving up a day 3 pick, but not a first or second.

Cam always held the ball too long. Not having good receivers will do that though.

I feel like I’m in the twilight zone here. In a QB dominated league, no team willingly cuts a good QB loose. He’s obviously hot garbage now if they are so willing to let him walk. You don’t give up high picks for a QB like that.

...Or the defensive tools to neutralize an elite QB like Denver did to Brady and Cam in 2015.

Who knows. Point was Hurney flew down to Miami Super Bowl week to tell Greg in person. Greg wanted to retire a panther.
