Per source, Carolina is one of Deshaun Watson’s preferred destinations if traded.

Here's a little more established source, with a pretty rational take.

 

How is that any different? 
 

I know your job around here is to be the ultra contrarian, but JJ’s tweet doesn’t go against anything OP is saying or his “insider friend” is saying...in fact, it kinda backs it up.

It’s entirely possible that the guy OP is referencing actually does have someone he trusts with this information. 

You posting some random tweets from JJ to play both sides doesn’t really change anything.

Well there's established sports journalists, and and there's guys with a website and a Twitter.

I'll grant that he may be legit, but inbetween now and late March I expect we'll hear from probably fifty people who know a guy who knows a guy who used to know a guy who worked with a guy who talked to a guy who ran into a guy who saw a guy at an airport that once talked to an acquaintance of Deshaun Watson on Facebook.

Reports like this tend to be stuff I make a mental note of, but don't necessarily take as gospel.

I remember when you got mad at me for not respecting your source.

Which was some forum poster behind the paywall forum section of the Huddle.

Roaring Riot is pretty well established. And more to the point, he was proven right.

The source here is apparently a high school kid.

See above.

For whatever this kid knows, I seriously doubt he's better connected than Jones, and Jones says he doesn't know whether Watson wants to play for the Panthers or not.

I suppose it's possible for a high school kid with a website to know something that an established reporter doesn't, but I'm kind of skeptical.

He’s not in HS, he’s actually attending Clemson.

Those are two different things.  The question is whether this guy with a Twitter account knows that Watson wants to be here or is just referencing all the others Tweeting optimistic things.

Ok so people are just doubting that he wants to be here, not that we are interested. That makes more sense.

I would think the new staff/owner being all in on building a winning organization plus Moore, Anderson, CMC would be attractive for a young QB. He also played for Clemson so he knows he has quite a fan base here. I don’t see him turning down playing here...

That the Panthers are interested and willing to aggressively pursue trade talks has been confirmed by more than one established source.

Outside of Watson's social media account liking a post about him going to the Jets, there hasn't really been much from his end.

As far as rumors, I'm pretty sure I could go to twenty different NFL message boards and every one of them would have somebody who knows somebody who knows he wants to come to their team, and they probably all have an equal amount of credibility (i.e. not much).

Maybe it's true. Maybe it's not. Maybe he ends up here. Maybe he doesn't. Right now, I'm not buying either Watson's or Stafford ending up here...

...but you never know.

      I get it's subjective and I said "PFF rated him as" one of the top deep ball passers during that time, which is an accurate statement.  They are still a group of professionals that look at film and data in order to make their judgements/ratings.  These people whose data has been incorporated into a lot of teams' staffs view Bryce's deep throws as some of the best in the league during that stretch.  That tells me that he can probably throw a deep pass vs the Huddle's version of he is small and didn't do it his rookie year so he must not be able to.  That and literally seeing him do it just makes me feel he is more than capable of doing so.   Do you think PFF is skewing their opinion to prop up a QB in a bottom tier franchise?  It's just another group's opinion and I feel is pretty respected around the league currently.  It's not the gospel truth or anything.

      I still remember how happy I was that gettlegut was not the GM once he picked Jones, that was a firing pick and well..... If not for the raiders drafting Clelin Ferrell, it was the biggest draft day mistake in the last 20 some years.

      He had 251 passing yards. 3 passing touchdowns and 2 rushing touchdowns. All in all a very impressive game. Problem is I do not envision his rushing ability translating like that over the course of the upcoming season. Yeah it will be something to account for from time to time but one it's not sustainable and two you don't want to put his durability to the ultimate test against a motivated defender willing to take a penalty and a fine. And plus with our backfield. Two 1k yard rushers. That's what they're here for. Then we have a much improved WR room. That means Bryce has to elevate those passing numbers substantially. The fact of the matter is regardless of circumstances it did take him 23 games to surpass Kyle Allen's single season passing yardage from 13 games in 2020. And that is not a high bar by any means. Whatever QB tier Bryce ends up in from here amongst his peers this upcoming season when it's all said and done it will be with his arm.
