Ultimately how a guy performs after his contract doesn't matter. It's that the contract was signed. For a college coach to get that money and control from an NFL team was unprecedented.

The scary thing is he might be both. Nothing more dangerous than maximum dumb and maximum desperate.

We can't talk about anyone else fuging over everybody. Tepper reset the coaching market hiring a bum from Baylor and he's going to reset the elite QB power structure in the NFL if he lands Watson. David Tepper is the most desperate man in football.

It really isn't. Growing up in NC, college basketball was EVERYTHING. Duke/Carolina might has well have been considered a national holiday. The sport overall has definitely fallen considerably in overall popularity. I thought it may have just been Colorado since everyone is transplants and the local college sports scene pretty much sucks, but then I move back here and see that it's a shadow of what it used to be back here in the hotbed too.

TRUTH If he thought Panthers fans were unfair... holy poo.

This is honestly what I expect. The Saints land Watsons and Tepper panics and backs up the Brinks truck for Jameis Winston.

I've never seen this level of desperation in the NFL. He didn't learn anything from going all in on Rhule because he's tripling down on Watson. He went from one shiny object to another.

Okay. We'll see. If we go through with this trade I'll be shocked if we aren't a bottom 10 D and I'd honestly expect bottom 5.

That's a loooooooong list of teams

Super Bowl? The Texans only won a single playoff game with Watson.

We're also going to lose Gilmore, Bouye, Jackson and Reddick. If we lose Reddick and Burns there goes the majority of our pass rush. Losing Gilmore, Bouye, and Jackson would be losing three of our top 4 CBs. Losing Chinn would be losing our best all around defender. Make no mistake about it, our D would be GUTTED.

Elite offense with decent to good defense. We're about to field one of the worst defenses of all time if we end up trading away Burns and Chinn.

Trubisky as a bridge to Howell? Damn... I'm starting to get some strong black and yellow vibes.

Oh wee mayne. Tepper is really gonna offer this guy a GM/HC/QB role.

No idea who that is, but this being true should come as a shock to no one. It'll be hilarious if Tepper's refusal to do the obvious in firing Rhule is what ultimately costs him the QB he so desperately wants. My man is getting chin checked left and right in the NFL.

Ultimately the Texans don't hold the trump card here, Watson does.

Possibly but I doubt it. Ultimately I think he'll pick a favorite pitch and end up there.

It's all about who pitches Watson the best at this point.

How? We've been running for over a year. Our legs are out of gas.

If you're not there already I suggest getting there. It's a lot more entertaining to watch the train wreck with emotional detachment.

Yep. I just want it over ASAP. This new development of Watson wanting to meet with suitors may slow it down though.

The Panthers have become a team that exists simply to help fill out the NFL schedule along with teams like the Lions. It is what it is.

I don't recall him ever playing OG for us, but it does look like he played multiple games at OG for the Bills, both at LG and RG.

He's a RT. That's the one OL position we have solidified.

Nah. I'm souring on basketball overall. The game has just been ruined by soccerization IMO with the comical flopping everywhere. Minimal defense. Just jacking threes. Basketball was hands down my favorite sport growing up, both in terms of playing and watching and now if the Heels aren't playing I'm not watching and I used to be religious about watching UNC. I probably miss a third of the games these days and half of those I honestly just forgot to watch.
