  1. Remember that stretch between '15 and '17 when the Browns only won four games over the course of three season? Yeah, that's how bad the Lions would've been without Stafford.
  2. Rams vs. Panthers? I mean, homerism aside that's an easy choice right now.
  3. That's why it won't be shocking if this goes from "we absolutely are not interested in trading the player in Houston to... *BREAKING NEWS* Deshaun Watson traded to (insert team here) in blockbuster deal *BREAKING NEWS*
  4. I think we're desperate and that both excites me and concerns me. It excites me that we're going to be aggressive trying to address the QB position this off-season. It concerns me that we may A) gut our roster to trade for Watson, B) gut our roster to trade up, or C) reach on a QB after we miss out on the run.
  5. He was a 7th round draft pick. If you make a final roster as a 7th rounder you were pretty much a successful draft pick.
  6. McClover made about a million dollars over the course of three years. That's a helluva lot more than I made in my first three years out of college.
  7. Has a star player in his prime ever publicly demanded a trade and there not been this period of stand off? Teams don't want to part with star players in their prime unexpectedly. Especially at QB. Even if he gets traded, this process is completely expected.
  8. No reason not to be right now. No trade can be made official for another month and a half, so might as well try to get (or force) Watson to change his mind in the meantime. It's not like they're going to need time and effort to drum up a trade market if and when the time comes.
  9. I think he will likely be traded but there's no guarantee.
  10. A) there's no guarantee that Watson will definitely be traded B) Watson will command a much richer trade haul than Stafford C) the Jets are reportedly Watson's preferred destination and it'll be very difficult for the Panthers to build a more attractive offer than they can
  11. Jets checked in. I never bought that they were sold on sticking with Darnold. I'm still not at all convinced they don't take a QB at #3.
  12. That game was a microcosm of his college career. Looked atrocious at times, but flashed tremendous talent at other times.
  13. The Rams reached out and were told to pound sand.
  14. I'm trying to figure out what I'm supposed to have a problem with in those tweets.
  15. If they passed on our #8, I have to think they're not gonna go after a QB in the draft. Being able to package #7 and #8 together would've been powerfully tempting for the Jets and/or Dolphins if they're sticking with their current QBs.
  16. What this tells me is that we're all in on upgrading the QB position this off-season. If the Watson talks get cranking we'll be in them. If we need to trade up in the draft, we'll be making calls. I don't know if anything will work out, but I'm confident we'll be trying.
  17. I can't see them taking on both of those contracts. Especially Shaq's. You're getting an elite player in CMC but overpaid non-pass rushing LBs who struggle in coverage aren't exactly an asset.
  18. There's a LOT of truth to this. Don't get me wrong, 1st round picks are VERY valuable, but due to our history I think Panthers fans have a skewed concept of that value because of how bad Hurney was in the mid-rounds. Everyone is throwing darts at the board in the later rounds, but you need to be filling out the meat of your roster with those mid-rounders.
  19. He's not a pass rusher and he struggles in coverage. He IS underperforming. You can find clean up tacklers at the LB position for cheap.
  20. This is why. He's a one year rental and then you have to rework that contract or cut him.
  21. The tweet said young starters. Who else are you offering? They're not taking Shaq's contract. One of the reason they're going to want "young" is the rookie contracts
  22. Them taking Bridgewater would probably cost us an additional 2nd.
  23. Glad I wasn't the only one who read that like
  24. Yeah, if it came down to two 1sts, two 2nds, plus say Burns and Chinn or they were going to accept another offer on the table then I'd wish them the best of luck with that other offer.
  25. Fitts specifically mentioned Jackson when he was talking about our core young defensive players. I think he was actually the second name out of his mouth if I recall correctly. It shocked me too, but evidently we're really high on Jackson. Turf toe is a bitch.
