He chokes in the playoffs Plus he loves Taysum Hill….
-
lol right? But think about it, replace Zach Wilson with Lamar Jackson and that team will be a tough opponent.
-
His top 2 landing spots are ATL and NYJ from what I've seen. NYJ would be pretty scary with Jackson at QB....
-
It may have been one of the best things to happen to us in a while honestly. Think about it, Rhule would probably still be here because we would have been just sitting stagnate waiting on Watson to play this past season.

Yes little capital. It was the 137th pick and a future 3rd to move up to 94 to acquire him. Considering the positional value of QBs in the league that is very little draft capital. Third round QBs are not "traditional" starters. https://www.yardbarker.com/nfl/articles/every_nfl_qb_picked_in_third_round_of_the_draft_in_the_21st_century/s1__37565457#slide_3 There is a list of recent 3rd round QBs. Mills started (but apparently should not have as they are correcting their mistakes and drafting one in the first), Brisset is a journeyman bridge QB, and Russ Wilson is the exception to the rule. None of the other ones amounted to much...

My point is he was simply using a saying that is thrown around in sports a lot to indicate a team is giving up a lot for a player. It's never literal. If it was literal then the Browns didn't do it either. They still have cap space and they still have draft picks. No one uses it in the literal sense because it is absurd in sports. You also have no clue what kind of contract we offered Watson either because it hasn't been disclosed. Carolina has leaked they wouldn't offer as much as Cleveland, but that was AFTER Watson picked the Browns. That is another thing you are leaving out. Watson has a no trade clause so he gets to decide where he wants to go no matter how many picks or much salary cap a team wants to throw away to acquire him. The decision was ultimately his.
-
Except when a player has a "no trade" clause like Watson does. He gets to pick where he goes no matter how much we try to trade away to acquire him.
-
Yeah I think my point is (like Greg Olsen) you can acquire talented TEs without spending a first round pick on one (especially not a top 10 pick). They are great to have, but tend to be a low value position for whatever reason.
-
This seems ironic. You have referred to Lance as a bust and are high on Corral?? Maybe you should practice what you preach. I haven't seen many posters declare Corral (a 3rd round pick) a bust. I have seen them state the odds are against him at getting significant playing time in Carolina with a new HC coming in a Corral being on IR last year with little capital invested in him.
-
It's a saying that means betting the future. You are not ABSOLUTELY correct, you just have a different opinion of what that means. The Browns still have cap space and some picks so they didn't risk "everything" to acquire Watson as that is completely unrealistic. Many analysts were saying the Niners "bet the farm" to acquire Lance which was 3 first rounds picks. Stop arguing about a simple saying a poster used that means they wagered a lot of future assets.
-
He is the most polished prospect by far. The height is the only weakness I see.
-
Plus Tepper is dying to get a QB. He will sign off on most trades to acquire one IMO.
-
Well the Browns offer was what? 3 first round pick? We know this now and we know our package was considered the better package. Connecting the dots tells me we were giving away quite a bit for Watson to come to Carolina. Trading the farm is pretty much an opinion statement so that can be interpreted differently by different people. I know current rules don’t let teams trade beyond 3 years worth of picks.
-
Yeah it will be a new HC/staff with Fitt handling the draft. No one knows what will happen despite what they think…
-
They definitely sent a trade package Houston’s way which was considered the best offer at the time. They didn’t want to guarantee all of that money though which is why Watson picked the Browns.
-
The Lions drafted him. Vikings traded a 2nd and 3rd for him since Cousins is locked in at QB.
-
My hope a team falls in love with Levis and drafts him at one or two and we can possibly swap with Arizona at 3 for Stroud. It also works if Chicago stays put drafts DL and Houston drafts Young. From 9 to 3 wouldn't break us as much as 9 to 1 IMO.
-
I think you can dismiss it and get like one article a day. It basically states Fitt is well respected around the league and easy to work it which is why we are able to land so many interviews.

Panthers receive permission to interview Sean Payton
ForJimmy replied to TheSpecialJuan's topic in Carolina Panthers
Yeah not interested. I was reading where we are able to get so many interviews because Fitt is considered easy to work with and well liked around the league. Full control plus loss of picks for a HC that knows he can step away whenever he wants and have a nice salary as an analyst just sounds like a terrible move. https://www.charlotteobserver.com/sports/nfl/carolina-panthers/article271149142.html -
What if Stroud doesn’t declare for draft…
ForJimmy replied to mc52beast's topic in Carolina Panthers
Sam Howell and Spencer Rattler were considered top picks before their last seasons (yeah Rattler is still in college, but his value has dropped like crazy). Jake Locker was considered the top pick as well. Van Dyke in Miami looked like the real deal before this past season. One season can change a lot. It’s probably more rare for a QB with a loaded roster like OSU to drop, but it can happen. A major injury for example could do it. -
Yeah they treated a future third (which doesn’t hold the same present value as a current 3rd) and that late 4th pick. That doesn’t seem like much value for a potential starting QB. We were “interested” when he fell in the 2nd, but still didn’t want to give up more than a future third.

https://pantherswire.usatoday.com/2023/01/12/panthers-declare-nfls-2nd-highest-amount-of-unused-cap-space-for-2022/ This should help
-
A mid 3rd round pick for a solid backup isn’t a wasted pick. Hell several of these playoff teams have leaned on their backup QBs to get here.
-
They didn’t go into the season banking on Purdy to be their QB. He was the THIRD option. No one is saying cut Corral, just that he shouldn’t be our top or main option at QB. We need to draft one and sign a vet. If Corral works out it’s a nice bonus.
