You been divorced four times and can't deal with having a bad favorite sports team, go to therapy for all our sakes

I thought this was therapy?  Hell I must be in AA.  Sorry, carry on.

And spending big in free agency always works. It's so much easier then the draft, just overpay for talent left and right and draft like poo. Works great for the Jags every year.

I mean it has to work eventually, right?  If you can convince Tom Brady to come hear we might have a shot.

Go back to sucking your thumb and let the adults have a conversation please.

I like Watson just not at the price no were near the price.... 

As do I. But even he needs a talent filled team around him to win.  Giving up that much is insane.

I find it insane that I agree with Mojo  

Strange times indeed.  Next you will hear that cats and dogs are having baby's together.

Its just hilarious im being told I don't know football but these guys are trying to trade 7 first rounders for one dude. Smh

But but but he's the greatest!  Kids.

Sure, but got to have winning seasons and playoff appearances to have a shot to win it all. Being 5-11 every year gives us a better chance? 

If you get your wish 5-11 will still be the average win total for at least 3 years.  Playoffs?  About a 1 in 10 chance in the next 3 years.

Watson had 4800 yards and 37 Tds and only won 4 games. Thats proof right there that even if you have a good Qb it doesn't automatically mean you make the playoffs

You are not using the new homer math.  Watson can win all the trophy's by himself if you hold your head just right and squint your left eye, or is it your right? Hell I don't know.

I wouldn't say I've become apathetic. I was getting close.

Probably would have been right on the verge of it if we'd had to endure another year of Marty.

I was not going to watch another season of a Marty built team that is a fact.

The hell I will--I am thanking you now. You'd understand if you knew my wife.  They call me "Charlie" down at the burn center.

They've had back to back winning seasons with Watson...something panthers fans could only dream about.

That's nice and all but isn't the goal  much higher than that?

Just now, MHS831 said:

Good tip.

That's what I'm here for. You will thank me later.

Jermaine Carter broke out late last season, don't forget him. Run defense looked way better after he replaced Whitehead. Also Chinn might get moved full time to safety.

Anyone would look better than Whitehead.  That's not hard to do.  Let's not over hype him just because of that.

I guess you didn't read the entire message.

A lot of it puzzle's me. Did Tepper buy a hospital or rebab center because we are going after injured guys like injuries don't matter. KK is toast. Who the hell thinks he can stay healthy enough for long enough to be worth a vet minimum 1 year deal? The big picture looks like

I guess he want to try out his new fancy sports medicine rehab yoga wellness and pizza facility.

Those need to be done for sure. I thought I read we’d be something crazy like 100 million in cap space. I realize that’s gonna get ate up by some of our own players who need to be resigned. I think we need to look at guards in rounds 3/4. We can find some good ones there. Maybe make one splash lineman signing next offseason. Preferably a tackle or center. If we keep our 2nd this year definitely go tackle if a good one is there. 

 

Just go ahead and quit being a fan already lol

 

Yeah no way that will happen. I’m hoping we keep our 2nd this year and can snag a talented tackle this year. We’ll see.

Truthfully, I have become a casual fan of the Panthers from all the years of disappointment.  I was diehard until the last SB loss.  I was never the same after that.  I stay here mainly because of the old gang that is still here that I can converse with, what's left of us.   I'm at a crossroads with the team and the nfl all together.  This season will determine my interest going forward.

Weird flex on a good price for his production. Would be fine if he didn't fit with a change to the system but for that price how are we going to replace that production for less?

This move, the Kerr move and asking KK if he wants back for nothing when he hasn't played much over the last few years...I just don't see it as positives. Add on the very questionable Oline signings and it sends a very mixed message. Don't pay guys who have produced here for guys who didn't play much or well elsewhere. Not sure how the rest of this will shake down.

Clearing out all of Marty's picks apparently.  Although the KK thing puzzle's me.

Just now, ImaginaryKev said:

With the cap room they have next year, Google it

It appears you are going to get your wish regardless.  I don't want to hear you guys in hear crying because Watson has no help and the team is still last in the NFCS.  I'm going to laugh my ass off.

Also deshaun will be a big time sell for FA’s to actually WANT to come here.

Lol, yeah it sure helped the Texans.  Even if remotely true in this fantasyland you live in, with what money are you going to pay all these big time FA's with?  Nevermind, I know the answer to that.  With the Saint's credit plan I'm sure.  It has worked so well for them.

Not technically free agency but again, stop me if you've heard this one...

(kinda figured he'd end up in Washington since Marty had been bringing him along when he was here)

Beane beat them to the punch.  I'm laughing over here.  Hard.

Every-single-one... I thought Rhule had enough of players missing games when he dealt with Apple, Okung,(I believe Russ was truly hurt) and other soft-ass players. He even commented about wanting tough players to play though things. The injury report will be full. This maybe why he wanted players that can help multiple spots... Going to funny watching Teddy line up at safety! Training staff will be tested this year. 

Yeah I got nothing there.  I'm not seeing how this fits any plan I would dream up, unless it's to get the number one pick next year.  Oh wait! That belongs to Houston.

2 minutes ago, Mr. Scot said:

Amusingly enough, despite statements indicating that we'd be taking our time, the Panthers are the first team to announce a deal with another team's player in both the legal tampering period and the official opening of free agency

Right to work the new guy is.

I'm channeling my inner Yoda.

First round picks are overrated 

Deshaun Watson is underrated 

Until you have a franchise QB, you're garbage.  Get that, build from there in the 2nd-4th rounds, a good coach to develop guys, and sign FAs. People acting like our team is suddenly doomed because we don't have the 1 or 2 extra picks tossed into this trade as opposed to the picks we'd lose trading up for a rookie have lost their minds.  

If all else fails, copy the Saints cap wizardry and just sign whoever/whatever you want and need. We've literally seen entire drafts in this franchise where we came away with only 1 or 2 starters or even JAGs. Draft picks sound great...but proven players sound a lot better. 

 

The saints got one SB out of that and already had their QB.  Still had to cheat to win.  No thanks.

If the free agent players' career has been stunted by injuries, carolina is your new home!

 

Guess that drives the price down, better ask the NFL for 8 more roster given all these injury-prone players. 

Could be the only type of players they can get to sign here for what they can afford to pay.  Don't over look that aspect of the situation.  It's a key one.
