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.

      Texas A&M Nic Scourton vs. Purdue Nic Scourton

      By *FreeFua* · Posted

      I’m honestly not trying to argue with you or talk bad about Scourton, I like him and I’ve watched all of his Purdue stuff/videos you linked previously. Just like I’ve watched all of Princely’s Florida stuff I’m only pointing out the weight thing because I’m excited about the idea of him being 255-260 and being more of a stand up edge here in Carolina like he was at Purdue versus at A&M And like you, I have a crap load of experience doing the whole cutting/weight/fitness thing and I know how crappy/sluggish I feel when I’m holding as little as an extra 8-10lbs of unnecessary weight. So for Scourton to come out and say he’s 255-260 now and feels good that’s exciting based on what he’s put on film at 280 and not feeling his best

      2024 College Football Thread

      I hate seeing this. I'm not sure he was ever going to make it in the NFL without the injury but that injury knocked FSU out of the college football playoffs and cost him and them and opportunity on the biggest stage in college sports. The injuries are the worst part of this game. They've created a nearly unending list of "what ifs". Hell, every HS, college, and pro team out there has a long list of them. It's also a good reminder that there's no such thing as a routine major injury. Even though sports medicine has improved dramatically in recent decades, major injuries are still somewhat of a coin flip on how a guy is going to emerge from it.

      I don't know what Texas A&M was doing with their edge rushers. They had two freaks in Scourton and Shemar Stewart and yet instead of turning them loose they asked them to play 20 lbs overweight and just set the edge. That's full-on coaching malpractice at any level. Much was made about Shemar Stewart's lack of sack production, but while he wasn't my favorite prospect this year a lot of that was clearly what they were asking him to do. The good news with Scourton is that, unlike Stewart, did manage to be a huge factor as a pass rusher despite this and despite playing 20 lbs overweight. If he can stay around 260-265 it should help him re-gain some of that explosiveness from his Purdue days.
