"Deshaun to Carolina" talk made it to NFL.com

While Deshaun to Carolina is possible but remains a slim chance, it is nice to know our slim chance is better than most team's slim to none chance. 

Quote

 

NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport added another potential candidate to the rumor mill: the Carolina Panthers.

"I would not discount the Carolina Panthers in this situation," Rapoport said Monday on NFL Network's Good Morning Football. "They have the eighth pick, so obviously not as high as, say, the Jets or Dolphins, but that is also a team that needs very badly to solve its quarterback issues. And (has) an owner who is not afraid to make big bold moves."

With Teddy Bridgewater under contract for another year, the Panthers have already begun the search for a long-term solution at QB. Matt Rhule has stuck by Bridgewater, but landing Watson would be a game-changer for a club like Carolina. Panthers owner David Tepper isn't one likely to shy away from the high price-tag Watson would cost.

Side Note: This article also speculates we know for sure that Rhule is moving on from Teddy. I am not sure we have heard that in any certain terms from the team itself.

There are 5 teams imo that realistically could/would trade for Watson: 

Panthers, Dolphins, Niners, Jets, Falcons.

Two of those teams are in the AFC. If you’re the Texans do you really want to trade Deshaun to an AFC team only to be run out of potential contention by Mahomes and Watson every year? Not to mention the Jags if they capitalize on Lawrence? 
 

It would make more sense to me to trade to the NFC...and the best long term building ability imo comes from the Panthers with Bridgewaters contract that comes off the books in 2022, #8, CMC and future picks. 
 

Falcons and Niners imo can’t beat that offer. Matt Ryan is expensive hot garbage until 2024. Garoppolo is less expensive hot garbage until 2023 but they have less to offer in the way of other compensation (picks, players etc).

I don’t think he came right out and said it but in Rhule’s closing press conference he pretty much said he would have to have an unbelievable offseason so I think that was enough for me they are not happy and will doing something. I even read an article the other day that said Tepper and Rhule was not happy at all with qb position

That is probably true, but I have yet heard anyone in the organization say it out loud. 

I think there is a really good chance that the Panthers have a new QB in 2021. But there is an equally good chance Teddy will be starting again, at least to start the season.

I don’t think Tepper wants to keep seeing an empty stadium next year, that’s what he will see if they keep trotting out that trash

Unless the rookie qb comes in and blows the doors off of things I think Teddy will 100% at least start the season and probably play until the bye depending on how things are going

      Xavier Legette is the face of the NFL at the Kentucky Derby

      You joke, but hasn't basically the whole team been in Charlotte this past week together? I'm not one to see the random dumb stuff players put out on social media in the offseason and think it means that's ALL they've been doing and not working on their game.  But it's a little strange that all this is coming out at the same time we're seeing tons of stuff with the team in Charlotte together, even if it's just working out and not even official team OTA's or anything. So he gets a pass from me saying anything now, but if he doesn't show clear improvement this season, it then opens him up to some retroactive criticism for some things.

      Ha-ha, I bet that went through everyone's mind.  Admittedly I don't read all the comments in a thread before I make a post. Great minds think alike!

      An honest look at Bryce Young

      By OneBadCat · Posted

      Cam was hitting his stride as a QB in 2017/2018.     This is why I think stats like completion percentage are overrated. As long as a QB is clutch and makes the throws to win the game the rest doesn’t really matter. What good is a check down stat padder if they’re a choker.  Until Norv Turner (and briefly Chud) got here we put Cam in high pressure throwing situations all the time. We also ran the ball on first down more than most teams in the NFL in the Ron era. Coupled with shitty WRs, all that is expressed in his stats. I also assume Cam took the ball in his hands on many occasions rather than trust Funchess to catch the ball.    It was also never Cams job to play the game like someone else. His presence on the field dictated the game in a way that is rarely seen.  He showed he could play the dink and dunk game just before TJ Watt. That didn’t suddenly make him better than his earlier seasons. He just got put in a legit under center  passing game again for first time since his rookie year with Chud.    Ron took the quickest path to success and abused the RPO because his ass was about to get fired.    Cam never got the credit for being the cerebral player that he was. I just think when you are legitimately a human Superman, sometimes the best play is having the ball in your hands. He was a better passer than Delhomme was.
