Eli Manning vs. Philip Rivers Would the Giants have been better going with Rivers? The world may never know.

Who didn't see this coming?

In the unlikely event that the Panthers had to choose between CMC and Watson, the choice, while not easy, should be clear. CMC is great as far as what he does goes, but Watson, as QB, takes this team to the next level.

As others have already stated, CMC is less attractive as trade bait now that he has been paid. Wonder if Tepper is now regretting the decision to pay him early?

Typhoid Mary is that you?

So far, no back to back winning seasons, no Lombardi Trophy for any of our GMs. Being the best GM in Panthers franchise history is like being king of the dipshits. The new guy has a relatively low bar to meet in order to claim the title of Best GM Ever.

Russel Wilson's contract is taking up a whole lot of the Seahawks cap space these days limiting the amount of money left to spend on the rest of his teammates. Seattle was a much more dominant team before Wilson got paid.

This. At the end of the day football is still a team sport, doesn't matter how good your QB is, he still needs a capable O line to protect him, teammates to run w/the ball/catch it and a stout defense to prevent opponents from scoring. The next coming of Dan Marino won't help this team without a decent supporting cast.

Any one of these 1st round QBs could turn out to be GOAT or JAG and there is really no way of knowing for sure. Keep the 8th pick, address QB w/the BPA and retain the other picks to address this team's numerous other needs.

Football's version of the Washington Generals

Arthur Smith being mentioned as a possible Head Coach candidate for the Georgia (Atlanta) Falcons led me down this rabbit hole. The movie and song are classics. Thanks in part to local celebrity, Arthur Smith. He used to produce his Country Music Show in a studio on the corner of Monroe Road and N. Sharon Amity during the 1970s.

Yep, when it comes to picking the next GM, Tepper would do well to defer to the guy he recently gave a 7 year contract to. The GM and HC need to be simpatico for the Panthers to succeed going forward.

It could be worse, we could be Lions fans.

The only way Haskins becomes a team leader is by cleaning up his act and proving himself worthy. If he accomplishes that, I've got no problem with him as a Panther. Otherwise, Haskins is nothing more than a third string QB destined to be cut and a cautionary tale for the rest of the players about lacking dedication to the game.

Yikes! Shades of JR circa 2010?

Yep, he almost snatched a loss from the jaws of victory.

OK

Exactly, how much money do the Panthers have to work with?

Well, in that case, I hope whoever made those decisions has learned their lesson. Don't want Panthers forever doomed to continue Marty's approach to building a football roster.

Marty sure was an optimist, always believed we were just a few players away from competing for a Lombardi. He was never a long term visionary.

or attempt to trade back into the first with our 2nd and some future firsts for some can't miss QB that's dropping like a rock.
