Well if this does happen and we give up what you guys are willing to give up I do not want to hear the same bitching and moaning when this team continues it's up and down seasons.  Because that star QB will have to win with a handful of good players and the majority of the team being taped together with a bunch of scrubs.  Sound familiar?

It does, but we also had a coach who had no idea how to identify talent or develop it when we went through that situation with Cam.  Rhule showed an ability to do those things in year one more than any coach/staff had before him.  That's really why I support going after Watson regardless of the expected cost (which I dont think will be as high as many anticipate).

I’m not trading any player in any deal for Watson.  It’s draft picks or kick rocks.  The only player who will go to Houston in any deal is Teddy, who I don’t think Houston will mind having as their new bridge QB.  
 

We could offer potentially less picks and move up and get any QB we want outside of Lawrence without having to sacrifice Burns, DJ or CMC.  Plus have a QB on a rookie contract so we could really improve this team.   I just don’t see how the Panthers are in a position to make Watson work with all the holes this team still has..

I think you have convinced yourself that everything will go exactly as you think it will.   I think you guys are ok with losing as long as we have one flashy player than win with a bunch of no-name players.  It seems to be about flash and style in the short term and the future be damned.

Personally, I'd say, yeah, we'll take him and his $40 million a year contract off your books for YOUR first rounder this year and next.

If you think he's going to sweep in here, we lose a couple of stars and a first round pick AND he's going to renegotiate for a team friendly deal, you're just fooling yourself. To think we'd lose those stars and picks and then win because we got a magical dude from the AFCSouth is also the height of naivety. 

This is the NFL equivalent of getting hosed at a used car lot.

Burns and that's it.  TJ Watt is done and they'll need a pass rusher.  Burns will be a 10+ sack master for many years.  

Straight up.   

Disgruntled QB for a Rising Sack Master.   Former 1st for a Former 1st.

They also get 3 years remaining on his rookie contract and we have to absorb Watson's new deal.

How many of you Watson dreamers have looked at our cap?  Any trade we do MUST include Teddy.  I don't know how you make that deal work.

Yes, we can cut KK - will cut KK.  That will help.  We'll cut Weatherly, and that will help a bit.  But we have a (*&#TON of holes to fill.  We have Moton to resign.  

We need a franchise QB . . . Watson is a franchise QB . . . unfortunately there isn't a lot we can do about it.

DeShaun may be willing.  The Texans may be willing . . . ish.  What they won't do is take Bridgewater.  They will rightfully want something much more meaningful.  Two firsts and a player is the starting point.  But we need to unload Bridgewater and they know that, so it will cost us EVEN MORE to do the deal with him involved.

I think the Texans would happily take Teddy, he can be a one year bridge to whoever they use the 8th on this year

Again, not me.  I rage at every loss, as my post history illustrates.  I' just convinced of what Watson is and capable of, as well as what Rhule is building.

      what do you like do in winston salem

      Keep away from North Winston,  you should be fine. West Winston towards Clemmins is cool. If you're ever at the Peterscreek Walmart, the Pepsi guy is 😎.

      Does Bryce deserve credit for game-winning drives?

      By Mage · Posted

      Game-winning drives have been credited to QBs since the beginning of time

      So, after Sunday's game does that mean we're stuck with Bryce for the foreseeable future?

      A lot of people have been slobbing all over this last draft but I hate the way that Fitterer/Morgan have built this offense since drafting Bryce. Anyone with eyes knew our IOL was crap but we didn't invest there and instead took project receivers and an injured RB. If you want a lesson in how build for your QB wrong, IMO, this was it. Draft him, protect him, THEN get him weapons. Its pretty much a rule, draft interior linemen, pay tackles. We're paying everyone. We had the opportunity to draft a center instead of Brooks, or perhaps instead of trading up for XL, trade back and take 2 guards/center. We could have paid Lewis and still drafted 2, but Hunt at 100m was just an overpay. And it's not like the guys many of us were begging us to draft were long shots. They're solid starters from day 1. Injuries happen. That's why all your starters can't be high value players. You need rookie contracts mixed in to be able to absorb those inevitable losses on the line. An offensive line playing an entire season together is an abnormality.  Factor into that also paying Moton 44m this offseason with a huge signing bonus when we didnt need to do right now to do him a "solid".  Now we have to sign Icky and possibly Bryce and it's a mess with more money tied up in the offense, inevitable cuts and dead cap coming. That's not even factoring in shifting Corbett to C last year after major injury to start at a position he's never played for an NFL season. It's all stuff that was foreseeable and pretty easily avoided.  The $$ and picks we've spent trying to surround Bryce outside of Tmac (Mitchell and Horn are TBD) have been used inefficiently IMO. Smarter drafting and FA with the line could have let us get more reliable weapons than XL and Sanders in FA. It might not be popular opinion, but I'll take a Bersin with hands that can get 6-8 85% of the time vs a big play XL with greasy fingers.  The part about hitting guys in stride was more about placement, which Bryce has struggled with. Obviously not every route is run to be hit in stride, but they do need to have the ball placed well to give the receivers a chance to do something after the catch. I just used Hill as an example because he's the biggest YAC threat I could think of over the past 5 years.   Receivers can feast on dink and dunk if it's schemed right. But to make it work, that vertical threat has to be there, if not the deep pass then the high speed routes that can spring someone for the huge YAC to keep the safeties from cheating into that 20 yard box all game.  I hope DC and Bryce can keep up what they did in the last game and it isnt just an Atlanta thing. But no matter what, I really want to see some better long term strategy coming from the FO.
