How about J.J. Watt as a Panther?

How insane would our defense be with a healthy J.J. Watt.

I don't think we have anything to really offer them but the thought of Houston trading him is insane. 

Why not dream,  What would you give up?

I definitely give up our 1st rounder for him, providing he passes a physical.    I am sure they would want more than just a 1st rounder.

Not sure if that trade would make any sense for Houston. Yeah, they get a dominant TE but a dominant TE who hasn't played a full 16 game season since 2011 and a dominant TE still doesn't do them a lot of good without a QB. Might as well add the most dominant defensive player in the NFL back to an already dominant defense. Watt had been very reliable up until this season. I get the trade for NE. They just won a SB without Gronk and that offense will keep humming along without Gronk, but Watt would be a game changer for their D.

As for us? Hell yeah, I'd love to have Watt! But what would we offer? Maybe Houston has a QB they covet at #8? #8 for JJ Watt... yeah, I'd do it as long as the medicals checked out.

Watt is such a physical player that his body has taken such a beating that I doubt he will have more than a few product years left. His best years are behind him and  will not be as good as he has shown or as healthy. He certainly will not be worth his contract.

I have a feeling that Watt will be retired due to recurring back issues in the next year or two. His back will continue to get worse and worse unfortunately. Once you have surgery on a disc it's only a matter of time until it goes out again....And he's had 2 surgeries on the same level in the last year. One more and he's likely done.

      Bryce's Achilles Heel Is Not What You Think It Is

      By Shotgun · Posted

      His first season. I saw it with my own eyes, others saw it too. Old man Dalton had to come in to make the throw. I watch every game. You must of just missed it. He had another chance a couple of weeks ago from the 50 and didn't even attempt to throw it to the endzone....cause he cant.

      If they start Corbett...

      By Matthias · Posted

      I would say if they put Corbett back at center, that would be evidence of some kind of favoritism thing going on.  I would have to ask if our coaches are leaders of men.  So they bet not do some stupid stuff like that.  It would be one thing if Corbett had pedigree at the position, a probowler.  This dude has never been a good center in the slightest, and only looked decent at the guard position in the past. (Which I don't believe he ever had a fully healthy season as a Panther)    So this shouldn't even be a discussion if you're the coaches.  But again, Corbett never should have been the starter in the first place.  I know we're armchair coaching when it comes to these things, but before the season, I was rooting for Mays to win the position.  The guy played a key role in Bryce's surgence last year.  Why mess up that combination?  And they did mess up the combination by making Corbett the starter.  It could be we might of won against the Jags had Mays been the starter. (Yes, I believe it was that critical)  We know Mays went in late against the Cards, where Bryce began looking better at the end. (Though the Cards played soft coverage)  So all these things says Cade Mays is the better center for the team.  Yet certainly he is the better center for Bryce if nothing else.

      He was our best YAC guy in 2023 and 4th in 2024(behind Hubbard, Sanders, Coker). He was a great and productive WR for us because he knows how to play the game, he had a connection with Bryce specifically and our other options have largely been atrocious.
