Winning culture fuged us so hard. We aren't even getting lance now. Its basically Deshaun or bust.

Or you can put big boy pants on and realize the QB spot might not be fixed in one season and that may be the reason most teams don’t have a franchise qb.

This forum is going to stroke when we have to give up multiple picks and CMC just to move up to 5 to pick Lance.

[ncfan]

So we're going to have to move up to 3 for a QB now.  

 

Fug that Washington win, fug it real hard.  That fugging win may have single handedly  set this franchise back 2-3 years.

not me, not even close. watson is ten years as the franchise, stafford may be two or three. we'd have to think about drafting his replacement as early as the 2022 draft.

I'll happily take him but he's my third option behind watson and drafting a guy.

yeah i feel you on that.  i guess it depends on how quick we could win. If we could be contenders with him still in his window of capability then i say go for it and groom a guy behind him. (talking about stafford) 

 

I want Watson too, for talent and age.. all the obvious reasons..

 

but sshit dude we are gunna have to sell the farm. and that could be worth it, not poopooing that idea in of itself..

 

but i could also see a scenario where we use those assets that we would give up to get watson to  keep them and win sooner with Stafford and still reach the end goal which is a championship within the next 4-5 years..  and in that span grooming a young QB behind him for that sustained success

Rhule's explanation for playing the starters against the WFT was that he wanted to teach the players how to win in December. It was a great learning opportunity in his mind and especially for the younger players.

Thanks to that win we will now likely end up watching the QBs with the best potential be snapped up right in front of us. I just hope those QBs end up being busts, otherwise that WFT win will become legendary and not in a good way.

If Watson really doesn't want to come here, then this makes sense.   Stafford throwing to our guys could be fun to watch.

I just worry about our offensive line and protecting him.

Use our 1st on oline. Maybe lose our 2nd on the trade, or another oline.

You're going to have to give up a 1 for Stafford.  So itd have to be OL in rd 2

Why would anyone trade for Stafford ahead of the draft unless they were getting him for very little? The QB market is/will be flooded with guys who haven't worked out with their team then you add in the upcoming draft. Especially anyone within reach of the top QB's in the draft should wait it out I'd think.

[The Huddler]

another bonus to stafford: 

 

 

Getting him would allow us to continue to build towards a championship while also giving us more time to find the long term franchise QB if we feel like the options aren't that great this year/ we miss out on that guy. 

 

Allows us to compete at a high level while alleviating the need to reach on a "meh" QB. 

 

We could win a SB with Stafford.

Does Detroit have any good T or CBs? Maybe our 1st for Stafford and a player we need anyway?

because some of the middle teams, such as Pittsburg, Indy, San Fran, and Pats aren't really in position to draft one of the top QBs

If you are an above average team that thinks they are a better QB away from being a really good team what gives them a better chance? using their 1st on Stafford or Trask?

I've tried to move in from it because what's done is done, but yeah... still fuging stings.

If it's next year's 1st I might listen.

Watson has a team bonus on the 5th day of the league year, which is in march, well before the draft

if the panthers fail this move then Watson has to be the next choice
