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.

    • With the contract money an OT first rounder makes you can ALWAYS get a new girlfriend.  And probably an upgrade at that.  You only got 2 parents.
    • Brother. You are wholly confusing comparing situations and applying actual standards like most other franchises do like simply getting into a playoff series and winning at least 1 or 2 series games with praising. Nobody is praising the Hawks. Nobody is praising the Magic. Nobody here likes those teams. But reality is reality. The Hawks like other franchises have traded players fired coaches etc but they can still win a couple playoff games. How is that not the bare floor for you or anyone else? What are we doing here if it isn't? We've seen eye to eye on many things over the years. But you are in the camp on the Hornets where you are emotionally attached to LaMelo where you feel the need to carry his water like he's got that juice. That's cool that you feel that way. It's your prerogative. But I differ from that viewpoint entirely. If he had that juice we would not have gotten wiped off the court in 2 play in games with 2 different coaching staffs and rosters. if people don't like hearing that well I'm sorry but how the hell is this team ever going to get better and ultimately go anywhere in the postseason if we just blindly pat them on the back for getting their asses whooped before they actually even get into the real playoffs? There seem to be some Bryce Young level standards being applied here. That's wild to me. But to each his own.
    • Proctor/Freeling were always the belles of the ball where we were picking. What those two *could* become at OT was far greater than what others could be at their respective positions and I’m glad our FO could see that.
