Panthers fans get attracted to this idea but it would be an admission that we had made a HUGE mistake in signing him. He isn't a slot receiver. He is an exceptional pass catching RB but he isn't a slot receiver in the NFL. Furthermore, we could get a much better slot guy for less than we paid him. 

Running the football with him is ABSOLUTELY the best use of his talents. If he can't take the punishment, he'll just we one in another long line of RB's that couldn't. RB's don't have long NFL shelf lives, so enjoy him while you can.

I would disagree.  When he came out some of the so called experts said he could have been one of the better WRs in the draft.

I don't see any reason he couldn't be one of the better slot receivers in the league if he played it full time.

I'm not advocating for him to switching to receiver full time but I do think he needs to be used as a matchup weapon in the passing game.  Isolate him on LBs and let him run WR type of routes, not just check downs and wheels.

That's what I was thinking, I just didn't say it as well.  Not that he should transition to slot completely, just that we should consider forcing uncomfortable matchups for the defense with him in that position.  Every snap and touch he gets like that is far less punishing than running him into the pile.

been through this before. getting our hopes up to be dashed later. Imma sit this one out.

Same, not even sure why I clicked on this thread.

If we get DW, that would be the nab of the decade (still young), as I simply think we don't have enough assets to go after him, much less be able to surround him with talent once he was here.

I'd be a fan though.

If a trade for Watson works out, great. If we land a QB at #8 or a trade up, great.

If we do neither, that's when I'll start the teeth gnashing.

yeah, I'll basically be happy with anything.....pending the plan is something other than Teddy.

The Panthers should do whatever it takes to get Watson because Teddy ain't it.

I’d love to get Watson.  People are acting like the cap is a big problem, but the Saints have been skirting the cap for 10 years.  There are definitely ways to do it.  We could’ve been a winning team this year (or least much closer to it) with a QB capable of throwing more than 15 touchdowns a season as a career best

      Umm yeah. When did he get it done at the right time? I seem to remember a 4-6 finish and needing Atlanta to win our way into the playoffs but whatever.

      I mean....no lies detected. See above. We have traded a fortune to draft a guy #1 overall that people have lowered standards for to the point that not playing like Jimmy Clausen and looking like a poor man's Kyle Allen occasionally is worthy of a contract extension making him one of the highest paid QB's in the league. That is cope on steroids.

      summary: "let's talk about your draft, what did you think about Freeling" Dan:   guys with a huge upside, can come in and compete to start.  High ceiling "he does what for your offense?" Dan:   it's hard to find left tackles, guys that big and athletic.  We have Icky coming off an injury, we signed Walker, I believe your offensive line can never be too strong.  If we're going to win the game, it's gotta be up front on both sides of the ball, so we make a point of emphasis on making both sides of the front as strong as possible. "how many mocks did you see Monro falling to you." Not many times, left tackles are gonna go a lot earlier than when we took him.  We want to add the best player, in free agency or the draft"  that's our philosophy, to get the best players possible. "Hunter and Brazzell." Dan:  we followed the board.  Lee we felt very highly of him , super strong.  Brazzel so flexible and loose, can open the verticle.  Will Lee we held in high regard. "you take a look at your receiver room, Coker, my goodness, your offensive rookie of the year in Tet.  Lost Rico, but there is Jonathan Brooks. " Brooks coming off two knee injuries, he worked his way back, looking great, fully healthy, will help in pass and run game.  Icky, not sure when he's coming back but we're excited about both "plan on extending Bryce" we'll keep talking, will keep internally.  We believe in him, has such a great grasp of Canales and offense, has improved every year. "he's clearly come back from the benching, the arrow is trending up, where does he feel" Bryce knows where we stand with him, when and if a deal gets done, he knows we feel great with him, we'll get something done at the right time. "if this a prove it situation?" everyone in the building has to prove it, has to earn it. Tmac was everything we wanted, his work ethic, he's so big and talented, but he puts the work in, and is a great teammate. "your level of expectation, the building's level of expectation for 2026 "our goal is to win the division every year, we know we have to earn it.  we have to put the work in every day, proving it on the practice field, and our  guys know that." "schedule" we haven't opened at home in 2 or 3 years.  We love prime time games, hope we get some "
