This seems to be accurate.

Yeah, if you subtract those three guys we'd probably field the worst D in NFL history. Hell, if I'm Watson I probably lean on my no trade clause to prevent that deal from happening. You'd probably be saddling yourself to a team that would be 3-5 years away from competing due to what they gave up to get you.

JR didn't have a choice. The league was forcing him to sell and Tepper was their chosen one.

Yep. It sounds like he's gone nuclear quietly behind the scenes but is trying to stay quiet and let others do his communication to the public. He might have to go nuclear publicly.

Most businesses don't have hard salary caps. Different ballgame.

"any price" is a scary thought

I don't think we're at all devoid of talent. We need some key pieces but we have some building blocks.

IMO, ten.

So much for that stuck QB carousel. This may have been the cause of the stuck.

This is true.

At least Lance has the talent to justify the pick. Jones just doesn't. We can hit on other picks and it still won't be okay unless one of those other picks is a QB. You can't compete for championships in today's NFL with a JAG QB.

If we take Mac Jones at #8 it's over. We're gonna flail around for 2-3 more years before the next blow up and complete rebuild with an entire new staff.

If he doesn't get moved before the draft, get your popcorn ready. The current poo show in Houston is gonna look like perfect harmony in comparison to what comes next.

Fug. This is just embarrassing. How can anyone accumulate this type of wealth and sleep at night?

Yep. If we can't trade for a QB we're probably going to have to trade up.

If history is any indication, at least one of these guys is gonna flat out bust and another will probably come far short of expectations. I LOVE Wilson, but at the end of the day maybe Wilson is the bust. If I had to bet money with a gun to my head though, I'd bet on Fields being the bust and it's because of what Verge pointed out - he's wildly inconsistent in his play and unlike Cam who could also be inconsistent, Fields while being a very good athlete isn't a Cam type of athlete who can simply take over a game with athleticism when he had to.

I find it difficult to believe that Houston would be interested in Teddy, but it could very well be a reason why we're hanging onto him.

We already don't have a QB and we've made it no secret that we are desperate.

That's what I have to assume. I really do think we've seen the last of him in a Panthers jersey. I think that bridge is smoke and ashes.

If anyone is calling offering literally anything for Teddy, his ass should be GONE.

Really hoping Snyder hangs on. As long as he's there the WFT is basically a non-contender.

I sure hope so, but hope is all I've got because I can't point to any solid supporting evidence.

Me as a Panthers fan reading this

A new thread for this? One of the other dozens of Watson threads couldn't suffice?

It's tough to read much into it from the outside. Might be something to it and it might be that Apple really was just mailing it in. I mean, he is a former top 10 pick who has bounced around the league who has been called a cancer by former teammates and no one came calling when we cut him.
