Out of respect for the mods I’m going to say I respect your point of view, but believe the situation in Charlotte was far worse than that. If this comes up in the TB I’ll be happy to elaborate. 

I wanted rid of Newton for a good few years - nothing to do with his skin colour, everything to do with his play on the field. I was accused of being racist (an F150 I believe is the race-baiting term that is used?). 

It is what it is.

Moving on from Newton was a business decision. Of course he's offended, he was here 9 years (and earned a good chunk of change in the process!), but that's the nature of the game.

Who wouldn’t love you have him?? It would be amazing. 
 

Reality though is that we don’t have the Cap or the assets to get him.

Shipping a 1st in 2021, 2022, CMC, Teddy, and KK (salary dump) would/could make this work and give us the cash to resign Moton and possibly Samuel.

The malcontented Watson and the Texans were 4-12 this year. However, a lot of people in this group seem to think we can wreck our rebuild for many years to obtain him and he will perform some type magic that would instantly make us Super Bowl contenders. The supposed price to get him would not be worth the reward in my opinion.

And the Texans played 10 games against good playoff teams while in or recovering from the BoB $hit$torm.

Watson led the league in passing yards, threw for 33/7 and 70% comp with ONE 1000yd receiver. 

Against 7 playoff teams Teddy threw for 1000 fewer yards and a 15/11 ratio with TWO 1000yd receivers.

I still think the Jets could make a major play for Watson.

 

They have 5 first round picks in the next three years.  Also their #2 pick this year is probably worth about 3 of our first round picks(think what it would cost for us to move up to 2).

 

Ding , Ding, we have a winner!  The whole idea that Watson created this sh!t storm and has final say is Madden-esque at best.   Dude decided to upset the apple cart (COMPLETELY his prerogative) but to assume he has 100% say in his future is delusional at best.  He is under a CONTRACT.

He has a no trade clause. It's up to him if he decides to accept a trade to a club he doesn't favor. The alternative is, he could sit out until the issue is resolved to his liking.

   With the cap space, and extra picks you showed so they could survive losing those picks.  Sure would be logical. And they could keep their high 2nds too.

You are correct and the Texans know that as well.  It's not like they will forfiet all the games.  In that scenario they take a flier on a 1B type guy  and roll with it.  At the end of the day, holding out only hurts Watson.

but at some point he might decide that getting traded anywhere is better than not getting traded at all.

Its really a big game of chicken and who blinks first.

      Shaq Thompson Remains a Free Agent

      Torn achilles.  The reason he was out more than half of last season.

      T-Mac Jerseys?

      By ImfromClayton · Posted

      When the panthers are bad, we sell a shockingly low number of jerseys, and options become limited. In the good years, we had a lot of different options. I think T-Mac is going to have to play well on the field for his jersey to get produced in the FUSE template.

      Panthers sign Hunter Renfrow

      By CRA · Posted

      it's not the only way to be a threat, it's certainly important for certain roles in an offense and for certain type players and offenses.  as is the ability to get open quickly and generate easy throws.   as far as Renfrow goes, I have consistently said he is sort of his own thing and not really in comp w/ others here.  It's a niche role/job.  Anyone talking about something else from him isn't me.  Just depends if we want to do what he does and if he can still do it.  as far as AT goes, yeah, he does lower our ceiling given the % of our offense that goes through him and his limitations at this stage in his career.    He should be a roleplayer, much like Renfrow should be if we want to insert what he does into the O....not an O being run through him.    Renfrow isn't going to lower the ceiling if used correctly.  Niche assignments to move chains.   It's like a short yardage RB that comes in to pick a random play.  Renfrow is best at that 3rd and 4 type scenario IMO. AT lowers the ceiling because we build the pass game off an old WR that shouldn't be the focal point of a pass attack.  Not to mention, Bryce Young is practically tailor made to get the ball in the hands of YAC players.   So you need those type on the field.
