Stafford didn’t want to come to the Panthers

[raleigh-panther]

Report just now on Pro Football talk on TV hosted by Mike Florio and Chris Simms 

Simms just stated on the show that per a reliable inside source that:

1. Stafford did not want to come to Carolina and the

2 Panthers did offer Lions the number 8 pick which of course was higher than the Rams this year

Of course he would have rather gone to a contender

[Mr. Scot]

I think that's a reach. He preferred the Rams or 49ers, but that doesn't mean he "didn't want to come here".

He was willing to go anywhere except New England.

No

he stated not New England first and then when the Panthers approached, stafford said ‘no’ er the TV report so their were two NE and Carolina per Simms contact

It's PFT.

Albert Breer has a whole lot more detailed report of what went on behind the scenes. He confirmed that Stafford to Carolina was about to happen until the Rams beefed up their offer.

DeShaun loves us. Doesn't he?

[BrizzMachete]

0 playoff wins 

10-59 against playoff teams the worst ever (Shannon just brought this stat up on the show) 

yeah idk why we would offer up number 8 for what ? 4 years at most for an above average QB ? 

panthers not getting him will be a blessing in disguise. 

[LinvilleGorge]

Rams vs. Panthers? I mean, homerism aside that's an easy choice right now.

[GoobyPls]

Thank god

Remember that stretch between '15 and '17 when the Browns only won four games over the course of three season? Yeah, that's how bad the Lions would've been without Stafford.

Nope he wants to go to a contender

I want a young QB, and that contract, use that additional cap over the next 3 years to field the best team possible.
