Hypothetically We Land Watson


Recommended Posts

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.

    • I have more faith in XL improving than I do in Tmac being a true number 1 recuever
    • Round 1. TMac arguably the best WR in the draft Round 2. Scour ton mentioned as a possible 1st round edge.     Texas A&M did not use him the same way Purdue did. After the 2023 season he was listed as a first round grade. I believe had Texas A&M used him like they did at Purdue he never makes it out of round 1. Round 3 Princely Umanmielen, we'll go by Princely.  Another highly graded player we got in a lower round. As the video suggests, even if he plays only on passing down it's a positive. Give him a couple of years to develop a he could be a three down player.  Round 4a Etienne IMO a huge upgrade over Blackshear. I can see him in a similar role as CMC without the heavy workload. He can run in between the tackles and has some shifty moves. Give Canales some flexibility. A fellow huddler pointed out UGA running backs don't see the field if they cannot pick up the blitz. Really good pick. Round 4b Ransom a hard hitting safety that has played three different positions on defense. Great pick Round 5a Cam Jackson a massive NT in round 5. I believe a solid rotational pick in a lower round. We added a beast that could make offenses quiver when he's lined up with Brown. Great Value  Round 5b Evans This is another player that can block and has good hands. He also had better seasons before 2024. As a rookie he's probably leaps and bounds better than Ian Thomas. I think he gives us a three headed monster at TE.  Round 6 Horn Jr. Many believe he's just going to be a KR/PR player. I believe there are going to be packages for him to get on the field as a WR. His speed with TMac and Thielen in the slot could be special. I'm really looking forward to seeing him in training camp. I've watched some film and he is very explosive.  Overall I love our picks. I honestly believe all of them will contribute this season. I don't believe we reached on one player in this draft.  This weekend we get a small look at these rookies     
    • You joke, but hasn't basically the whole team been in Charlotte this past week together? I'm not one to see the random dumb stuff players put out on social media in the offseason and think it means that's ALL they've been doing and not working on their game.  But it's a little strange that all this is coming out at the same time we're seeing tons of stuff with the team in Charlotte together, even if it's just working out and not even official team OTA's or anything. So he gets a pass from me saying anything now, but if he doesn't show clear improvement this season, it then opens him up to some retroactive criticism for some things.
