This could get ugly. They just need to part ways.

Cam and Watson don’t have similar games. 
 

 

You've been paying attention. I totally agree, they are NOT the same player. Anybody claiming that hasn't been watching.

Jonathan Jones estimated it would take first round picks, Christian McCaffrey and Brian Burns.

Other teams have way more draft capital than we do. And if you're counting on Watson saying he only wants to go to the Panthers, that's probably a pipe dream.

Doesnt matter what other teams got. That clause has to be satisfied. Not a pipe dream.

Watson may have a no-trade clause, but that doesn't have any bearing on the terms- only the team. Carolina might offer up something, but the Texans don't even have to consider it.

And, on the other hand, the Texans stand a pretty good chance of being on the receiving end of a bidding war when it comes to Miami and the Jets.

He has to approve the trade. thats what it means. he has the upper hand come trade time.

And if you seriously think we can get him for just that, I've got a nice sized bridge to sell you.

I'm with it as long as DJ stays. Watson is an elite QB.

Just now, Ja Rhule said:

No way.  It will likely be top player, second rounder this year and 1st rounder next year.  I’m afraid DJ Moore might be a goner cause he got 1-2 year left and he’s worth a lot and Panthers might not want to pay him.

gotta keep DJ!

We had one.

We wasted him.

And if we give up too much to get this one, there's a good chance we'll waste him too.

#8 and a star won't hurt that bad.

Clemson isnt far from Charlotte, those kids come up the road often. They know Charlotte AND the Panthers intimately. Home.

DJ is off the table obviously.

THIS WOULD BE THE SMARTEST MOVE YET. DO THIS TEPPER AND I'LL TAKE BACK EVERYTHING IVE SAID ABOUT YOUR LACK OF A COMPASS!

GO MAN, GO!

YES!

Stafford is one of those unsung guys left in a bottom-dwelling franchise. And here we complain about how little respect Cam got. Talk about a difference.

Stafford has been outstanding and if he had been in a better organization he'd have a ring or two, and I think he's still got a lot of good tread left on his tires. I also like that he has stuck with the Lions year after year until, well, it just got so low that no one could take it anymore (last season was bad and now they've hired an even bigger meathead for HC). 

If he came here, I think he and we would excel. My only worry is for how long it could last.

This is exactly how Cam should have been treated. This year would have been the swan song, heavy hearts many thanks, farewell, live thee well. Draft a new young QB. No fuss, no disrespect. Honor. Grace.

Not as good as Stafford...

...not even close.

Does Stafford legitimately have ten years left? No.

Might Stafford play on a cheap rookie contract while we make a run at the SB? No.

Does Stafford have the upside and mobility if Lance? No!

Not even close Sizzlebutt

Mitch says today we can’t play Hayward all these minutes

so coach plays him 38 min tonight

and biz gets 26 min

Coach’s rotations have been really bad last week or so

we need bridges, pj, and melo to be impact players and every game they get worse...coach not using any of them well

ps: melo not shooting well at all

For one of the first times in franchise history we've finally got talent but now the coach doesn't know how to use it. I'm glad we're no longer complaining about GMs but coach Borrego has some serious decisions to make. He has to play his best five and that includes Bridges and Melo.

Yeah, everybody knows he's the future. He's NBA ready. You found that out already.

You've got a 6'8" point guard coach. Miles Bridges needs to start too. Diplomacy doesn't win games. Your best players do.

Get a QB. Trade for one or draft one. There are enough good QBs in this draft to choose from, just pick one.

Lance is better than no QB at all.

Appears that Teddy's contract is a huge a millstone around the Panthers neck, at least until the end of next season.

Boneheaded move. I'd like to see them do something football smart for a change instead of this damn flailing around.

If he's there I expect Trey Lance to go 8. And I believe he'll be there.

Wouldn't be mad at Lance or Trask. Just get one. Neither plays soft like TB.

Jesus h Christ dude Samuel is a free agent.   

Don't have a heart attack.

Hypothetical: 8#, CMC, Samuel.

They can draft a new guy at #8 and he'll have weapons. Fixed.

We can build around Watson and our defense. Fixed.

Which player(s) would you be ok parting with?

Off the table are DJ, Burns, Brown. Everybody else...

#8 and a player or two. That solves the QB problem.

I agree.  This idea that they are going to look worse if they don't trade him is stupid, they all ready look really bad.  Letting Watson and some other team fleece them would only add to that.

Watson has enough leverage to force himself out, but he doesn't have enough leverage to force them to only accept an offer from one team.  Once you have multiple teams the price goes up.

 

 

No trade clause. It must be amicable. So IF its the Panthers, its the Panthers.

What scares me about Stafford isn't the broken back or shoulder injuries. It is the ligament damage in his throwing hand. 

Oh no! No thanks!
