And they let him go. The Panthers can do better. Wait, they can't. They're waiting on Watson and have idiots in charge that want versatility in their stating linemen.

The argument is that you have to protect the QB. I think they did a good job of pointing that out.

So, you want him to go to Atlanta since he's from Georgia?

Right because protecting the QB is totally overrated. Maybe a couple long time award winning sports journalists can explain it to you.

Very true

Or most foolish

I'd be ok with that if they're sold on a QB in next years' draft. Sadly, I don't think the clowns in charge of the Panthers have the foresight to do something like that.

It's almost like the professionals know that you have to protect those highly paid QBs so they can do their jobs. But that's just crazy talk since a franchise QB can do it all on their own according to some here.

It's a little early for

Not every player is the same. Watson might not want to take a beating until he's 35. Other than that, he might not stick around whichever team trades for him beyond his current contract. He's forcing his way out of Houston, what's to stop him from doing so again?

Doesn't matter how good the QB is when you can't field a good enough team around him.

I think it's irresponsible for any team in as bad a shape as the Panthers and what people are saying the Saints are to sell out for one player. That said, I would much rather watch a rival team gut themselves for years to come than the Panthers.

I have my popcorn ready and I'm making a pot of peppermint tea. I'm good to go.

So Watson gets LeBron James power without being the biggest star in his league, best player in his league, and without winning a single championship? Tepper is a desperate dumbass.

Which makes a trade for Darnold an even dumber idea since the Panthers would be trading him to dump his cap hit onto another team.

You've called for more Watson threads twice in the thread saying not to create more Watson threads.

No team other than the moronic Panthers would trade for Darnold last year. Why would teams trade for him now that he has proven it wasn't just the Jets making him look bad?

You saw the Panthers do that during the season. Henderson was gotten for a 3rd round pick.

Chinn is a linebacker just like Thomas Davis was. It's not his fault the coaching staff are morons and played him out of position all season.

From what I've read, the Rams weren't desperate for a better QB even though they weren't happy with the recently extended Goff. The opportunity came up to trade for Stafford and they took it. That is not the same as the Panthers' blunders at QB since Rhule became coach and each increasingly desperate attempt the team has made to find a good starter since tossing Cam aside.

Since there is no clear definition of what a franchise QB is, it depends on how you define one. Is a franchise QB the face of the franchise? Is a franchise QB the starting QB? Is a franchise QB someone that consistently puts up high stats? Is a franchise QB some that has the support of the organization and they aren't looking to replace him? The San Francisco area news considered him the face of the team, so yeah, he could be considered a franchise QB.

This is a different situation though. The Rams and Lions weren't desperate to make that trade. The Texans haven't been desperate to unload Watson while the Panthers have shown they are desperate to acquire him. The Texans have all the leverage in any deal with the Panthers, especially with other teams looking to trade for Watson too.
