How do we assemble an offensive line to keep him vertical? Our mediocre line from last season has one returning starter from last season..... Paradis let that sink in. 

To land Watson (who comes with a whopper cap hit) 

Realistically your looking at 

2021 #8

2022 1st

2023 First 

and or Brian Burns/Jeremy Chinn.

 

That will mean even more holes on defense and very limited resources to fill them... 

I would do it IF we can solve the oline problem....To win even 5-8 games we will need to win shootouts.....

Any ideas? Possibilities? Risk/Reward assesments?

Love how the same posters show up in every Watson thread and complain how it's another Watson thread.  If you don't like it move on, how does it really affect your every day life that someone posted a Watson thread? Fact is, there is a possibility of getting Watson, which is the biggest news for the Panthers atm.  Whether you want or think it will happen is irrelevant, the question was a hypothetical question so it doesn't need comments about how it's not going to happen.

 

To answer the question, Watsons Cap hit isn't that large this year or next.  We basically have 2 years to get a more favorable contract. This combined with letting go of certain players, gives us the salary cap needed to fix the O line by signing Moton, finding a gem or 2 in free agency, and through the draft.  

Like others have said, I doubt we trade Burns or Chinn. But, hypothetically if we did, it would be easier to live without Chinn.

Exactly why I don’t want this guy. This team isn’t a qb away. We saw how the team failed to support cam and how frustrating that was, so now the plan is to get back in that situation, with a much worse D to boot? Draft Wilson/ lance/ fields and hope they pan out. If the do, we are very, very well positioned to compete in 2022. If we land Watson and forfeit the picks and $ it takes to land him, we will have to get insanely lucky in the later rounds of the draft. If your plan is for fitterrer to find his next Sherman in the 5th I’d argue that’s unlikely. Oh, also, what’s stopping Watson from disliking tepper and demanding a trade from us?

We are a qb and an MLB away.

The price isn’t going to be three firsts AND a young, cheap superstar. 
 

The deal I could see happening is: 

McCaffery, TB, #8, 2022 1st, 2022 2nd. 
 

If that is the deal it honestly isn’t that bad. You trade CMC which hurts but his cap is significant for his position. 
 

That nets the Texans a transitional QB, an MVP candidate and multiple 1st round picks. 

It nets us...a top 5 QB and probably MORE cap flexibility than what we would have if we kept those two guys.

      Jaycee LOCKDOWN Horn is due for a breakout year

      Ha-ha, I bet that went through everyone's mind.  Admittedly I don't read all the comments in a thread before I make a post. Great minds think alike!

      An honest look at Bryce Young

      By OneBadCat · Posted

      Cam was hitting his stride as a QB in 2017/2018.     This is why I think stats like completion percentage are overrated. As long as a QB is clutch and makes the throws to win the game the rest doesn’t really matter. What good is a check down stat padder if they’re a choker.  Until Norv Turner (and briefly Chud) got here we put Cam in high pressure throwing situations all the time. We also ran the ball on first down more than most teams in the NFL in the Ron era. Coupled with shitty WRs, all that is expressed in his stats. I also assume Cam took the ball in his hands on many occasions rather than trust Funchess to catch the ball.    It was also never Cams job to play the game like someone else. His presence on the field dictated the game in a way that is rarely seen.  He showed he could play the dink and dunk game just before TJ Watt. That didn’t suddenly make him better than his earlier seasons. He just got put in a legit under center  passing game again for first time since his rookie year with Chud.    Ron took the quickest path to success and abused the RPO because his ass was about to get fired.    Cam never got the credit for being the cerebral player that he was. I just think when you are legitimately a human Superman, sometimes the best play is having the ball in your hands. He was a better passer than Delhomme was.

      I don't think Canales has any problem benching Bryce or moving on if Bryce doesn't come out playing like the end of last year.  It's year 3 no more excuses for Bryce
