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


Recommended Posts

I think that you have to absolutely try.  Franchise QBs don't grow on trees.  If there's a way to make it happen, you have to see.

Houston is a dumpster fire right now.  They traded their best WR last year, they have alienated their franchise QB, and they don't have a lot of team to build Watson.  They need to maximized their assets moving forward to rebuild the team.

It doesnt matter who it is, a qb coming out of college has huge question marks

when you're picking this high in the draft, the general operational mentality is that you're getting a player of Watson's caliber, the trade off for the latent uncertainty being that it costs nothing to acquire said player and responsibility falling on the shoulders of those who were given the job of developing the talent given to them if he fails

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.

I don't ever recall it happening in my 25+ years of following NFL football. Jay Cutler getting traded from Denver to Chicago is the closest comparison I can recall off the top of my head and Cutler wasn't on Watson's level considering his turnover issues.

Draft picks #7, #10, #24 and #199 of the remaining QBs in the playoffs.  Watson was a 12th pick.  So it comes down to skills, coaching and organizational decisions that determines a QBs success.  Yes, there are some busts, but many times guys drafted to be franchise QBs are let down by their organization rather than just not being all that good themselves.

edit: fine, I'll be nice, yeah, what fitz said

If you trade burns, suddenly jon snow guy has a really strong argument, this team has their QB but no means to build at the essential spots around him
