Rapoport: Panthers expected to be in the mix for Watson.

People get paid to write three paragraphs of opinion that 1) is pure speculation and 2) doesn't provide any detailed supporting evidence for the assertion? I'm in the wrong line of work.

He may be right or he may be wrong, but how about a breakdown of our available assets and analysis of why they wouldn't be enough?  We have plenty in the coffer should we decide to use them.  Just because Miami or some other team has more doesn't mean they are willing to use them all.  

You could be right there, yet a team like the Panthers that doesn't have nearly the resources are going to actually pull off the deal?

Rodgers won his super bowl outside of his Rookie contract and the Packers drafted a 1st round bust in Harrell in 2007 didn't have a 1st round pick in 2008 and Rodgers signed his mega deal in 2010. Then drafted another bust in 2011.

So what I am seeing is.... The Packers spent a shitload of money on QB, and won a super bowl with a bust and no first round pick. The proceeded to bust on the next year's pick.

So?  That's their problem.  Are you suggesting that because they missed on the last few QBs that we don't try to draft one because we are sure to miss as well?

This alone says you are more invested in his stardom than the Panthers.

Well, we’re likely giving up a first next year anyway to go get a college qb that May or may not work out. So if you’re asking me would I be in favor of throwing in an extra first to get a proven commodity, then that answer is a resounding yes. 
 

seems like common sense to me. Unfortunately, those three picks wouldn’t be enough.

I don't care if this ends up looking like the Herschel Walker or James Harden trades.  Just get it done.  I don't care which players or picks go in, CMC/Burns/Chinn whoever, get it done. A 25 year old all-pro HOF track QB goes on the trade market once a decade at most, and more likely once a generation.

Im suggesting that a franchise can win a super bowl without 2 first rounds picks and an all star expensive QB. it's how you assemble the roster around them.

Why would Watson want to come here he wants to leave the Texans because he wants to win , watsons not coming here so stop with all the hype

We are on his list for the no trade clause. Ask Watson. Maybe he misses the area? or maybe he hears Rhule is a legit coach? or he sees all of the weapons on the offensive side of the ball. Or he sees a division with 3 aging qbs and that the division is going to be wide open.

    • Another source: NFL Rumors: Hakeem Butler to Visit Panthers After UFL Success, Wade Phillips' Praise ZACH BACHAR JUNE 10, 2024 The Carolina Panthers are expected to conduct a workout with UFL wide receiver Hakeem Butler, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. Butler recorded a league-leading 652 receiving yards as a member of the St. Louis Battlehawks. He was previously a fourth-round draft pick by the Arizona Cardinals in 2019. After the Battlehawks were defeated by the San Antonio Brahmas in the XFL Conference title game, Brahmas head coach and longtime NFL coach Wade Phillips told the receiver that "I'm going to tell everybody in the NFL that I talk to that you need to be playing," via Michael David Smith of Pro Football Talk. Despite the loss by St. Louis, Butler still hauled in six receptions for a team-high 59 receiving yards. The 28-year-old was named the 2024 UFL Offensive Player of the Year, as he was one of only two wideouts to have multiple games with at least 100 receiving yards. While the Panthers added Diontae Johnson and first-round rookie Xavier Legette to their wide receiver room in the offseason, they could still use some depth in the form of Butler. Carolina isn't opposed to picking up former UFL players, as Rapoport revealed on Thursday that the team is also "expected" to sign All-UFL receiver Daewood Davis. Although Butler was selected by the Cardinals in the 2019 draft, he did not play as a rookie due to a hand injury and only appeared in two regular-season games as a member of the Philadelphia Eagles in 2020. He did not record a catch. Butler signed with the Pittsburgh Steelers during the 2023 offseason, although he ultimately didn't make the team's regular-season roster. At 6'5", he has the frame to potentially make an impact in training camp and earn a shot at making Carolina's 53-man roster. If his workout goes well with the Panthers, Butler could give himself another chance to possibly return to the NFL.
    • They have all the rookies. The DC game has Ron though. With the new QB. It is weird.  pantherclaw, Bryce sort of is what he is, and in Madden he makes throws the real Bryce can’t make. Here and there. He ain’t ain’t a top QB in Madden though, lots of picks. aone of them lol was the throw that scares the hell out of me when he throws it, out to the boundary... quack quack.
