Let's say you are Deshaun Watson, bias aside, where do you want to go?

Depends if he want to compete now for a SB or be a part of consistent winner like we will be.

He would be a baller on this team. We probably have the most attractive weapons outside of TE. We’d be in the playoffs easily with him at the helm. Another solid draft, two for certain and I think we’ll go deep in the playoffs for a long time.

We just aren’t a complete team right now. 

Wrong, getting rid of CMC and a defensive player probably Burns would be dumb as hell.

To be fair, we don't really know if they'll remain dysfunctional now that Gase is gone.

Well, certainly they'll be less dysfunctional 😂, but for me, it goes beyond that.  Even with a new GM, there have been whispers out there about Woody Johnson for years for having a bad reputation with players/the locker room and I would feel like that has a clear effect on their on-field performance...  and I'm not just saying that hoping to speak Watson to the Panthers into existence...  as a player, those things would really concern me with any organization.

The first thing that always comes to mind for me about Johnson is how he held on to Rex Ryan because he liked his bravado.

That apparently somehow made up for the fact that they were losing.

Watson is going to cost too much, and as much as I would love to see it, we don't have the pieces yet.  You can have Charles Linbergh flying your plane, but if the plane is full of second-hand equipment and faulty parts, the flight will be problematic.  We heed to build the plane and find the right pilot.  I think we can do it in 2021, but not if you go all in on one player.  Houston II.

Meh. Pretty damn average defense last year, and it'll only get better getting rid of the weak links on the defense. Watson would help tremendously, and would probably put Carolina in the Playoffs. Even if Carolina had to part with Teddy and CMAC to get it done.

If he goes to Miami I am seriously making a run at Tua.  If we can get him for a few non-day 1 picks I think that is a steal.  I realize many question his season last year but I think he can be awesome given some time.  

Tua IMO has just as much upside as anyone in the draft outside of Trevor.

So you give someone poo for having a different opinion?  Pretty fugging arrogant.  I never said he would not help--but do you want another elite QB getting pounded because there is no LT, LG, or decent C?  Do you want to go another season without a MLB?  Watson does not tackle people or get the D off the field on third down--

If he goes to Miami, pretty good chance Tua is part of the trade package.

      Bryce among the 7 players Mark Ross of NFL.com guarantees will get better this season. Today, I am identifying seven players who I guarantee will improve on their 2024 output in the 2025 season. Young took tremendous strides in 2024 after returning to the starting lineup in Week 8 following his benching. He looked far more comfortable in his return and produced with consistency, as he threw for 2,104 yards with 15 TDs and six INTs in the final 10 contests. Most important perhaps is Young's confidence grew immensely down the stretch, leading Carolina to either a game-tying or game-winning drive in six of those games. Now he enters his second season in Dave Canales' system with his best supporting cast to date. The Panthers drafted wide receiver Tetairoa McMillan eighth overall to pair with Adam Thielen and Xavier Legette, who I also believe is poised for a breakout campaign this fall. The 18th-ranked rushing attack from a year ago added Rico Dowdle to complement Chuba Hubbard, giving the team a pair of 1,000-yard rushers. The Panthers have taken the necessary steps to ensure Young's third season will be the best of his career, and now it's up to him to not only continue to grow as a player but prove why he was worthy of being taken No. 1 overall in 2023. I believe that's what he will do. https://www.nfl.com/news/which-nfl-players-will-improve-in-2025-c-j-stroud-deebo-samuel-among-guaranteed-risers

      BREAKING: Panthers interested in Justin Simmons

      By Icege · Posted

      While it's fair to question how impactful a player's relationship with a coach is (especially if someone has questions regarding said coach), it's important to also evaluate the difference between the players here. Jordan Fuller was pick #199 in the 6th round while Justin Simmons was #98 in the 3rd round. Jordan Fuller might have gotten a Super Bowl ring while he was with the Rams, but he got it while on the IR. Justin Simmons, on the other hand, is a x2 Pro-Bowler (2020, 2023), x4 second-team All-Pro (2019, 2021 - 2023), and was the NFL co-leader in INTs (2022). Simmons has also fallen off in the last couple of seasons though, grade-wise. He very well might not be that same player, which could be why the Falcons have elected to replace him with Fuller. As far as getting the best out of what he has, asking him to produce with a starting DL of A'Shawn Robinson (63.56% of the defense's snaps), LaBryan Ray (51.48%), and Shy Tuttle (50.08%) isn't reasonable. Wonnum only played in 8 games, but had the second most % of snaps (37.27%) at EDGE behind Clowney (53.53%). The second-string DL based on snap % was... and don't read this if you just ate... Charles Harris (34.48%), DeShawn Williams (27.67%), and Nick Thurman (19.7%). The second-string EDGEs based on snap count would be DJ Johnson (32.27%) and Cam Gill (18.14%). With the investments made in the run defense this season though, especially on the defensive line, it's more than fair to demand a complete turn around from last season.
