I no longer believe Houston will be able to retain him. 

They might not, but I definitely believe they're going to give it their damndest.

Well, short of the obvious step of firing Jack Easterby.

(that they value him enough to keep him in the middle of all this mess is just insane to me)

In todays NFL, there is a very slim chance of you winning a super bowl without a franchise QB. Plus side if you have Mahomes, Watson, Brady, Allen, Rodgers, or Wilson. You are almost always in the race with those guys. CMC will almost never get you 2+ wins by himself, we already know this given the last two years. 2-3 first rounders is certainly steep, but you have a much better chance bouncing back from that loss than finding a Deshaun Watson play literally ever again. Tepper and company know this, they know what is needed to elevate a franchise, and they know a franchise QB is building block #1. If you do not have that guy, you are going to keep rebuilding until you do, while the players you spend first round picks on walk out the door.

Knew you were 🙂

We've got some folks who absolutely don't want to hear anything other than that what they want is gonna happen. And hey, maybe it will, but taking it as a guarantee is setting yourself up for disappointment.

All u have said from the start is this trade wasn’t going to happen and if the least little chance it does it would not be here. But keep on keeping on!

I don't believe it will.

I do however acknowledge that it could.

That's not exactly a complicated position.

Here's the fun part though: I could spend all of my time saying "yes it's going to happen" and talking up even the slightest possibility whenever someone mentions anything.

Would you like to guess how much impact that would have on what ultimately does happen?

I'll give you a hint...

There’s no doubt either Deshaun gets either traded or sits out. There have been reports by national level insiders that have stated he won’t play for the Texans ever again. 
 

I wonder if this topic was brought up in any interviews during our GM search 🤔

So instead you literally spend all of your time trying to convince others it’s not going to happen? Guess how much impact that ultimately has on what happens?

At the end of the day, the Panthers are going to be aggressive. That much should’ve been made obvious to everyone when they were willing to part with their 1st rounder this year for Stafford. They will do everything in their power to land Watson BUT there are other teams with top 10 picks that can put together better packages than we can.

I haven't read through this whole thread, but I'm seeing quite a few posts in favor of trading CMC.  This surprises me.  Shoot for me, the whole appeal of Watson being here in this offense goes away without CMC being here also.  I know running backs are a dime a dozen, but dag, this is CMC we are talking about here.  This ain't no scrub.  We still haven't seen him at his best.

This is also kind of funny to me personally because before we gave CMC his contract a year ago or so, I wasn't against trading him for I believe draft picks.  Yet now that we paid him like a QB, I expect big results from this dude as a Panther.

Believe it or not, I don't actually view the football discussions I have on here as a mission with an objective.

It's literally just football talk.

If you take it a little more seriously than I do, well...

I'd prefer it be for three 1sts straight up, but all the talk has been that the Texans wants picks and a player(s). If that's the case, I'd rather it be CMC than someone like Burns simply due to positional value. I'd rather it be CMC than someone like Chinn simply due to the reality that Chinn still has three years left on a cheap rookie contract. I'd rather it be CMC than someone like Moore again due to positional value. What I will say though is that if CMC is part of the deal then IMO re-signing Samuel becomes borderline critical. Samuel filled in for CMC in a lot of ways last year.

      Frank Reich, Ryan Poles get honest about challenges of developing No. 1 pick QB.  *Reich: My handling of offensive system "probably made it more difficult for Bryce (Young)" *Poles: From 24-25. tone changed from bridging Caleb Williams to 'tough love'   https://x.com/jfowlerespn/status/1957857880276705508?s=46

      As bad as AR has been, the Panthers would’ve been better off right now, if they had stayed at #9 in 2023 and picked him instead of doing what they did.  At least this way, they would’ve only wasted one draft pick vs what they gave up to pick BY. And they would have kept the #1 pick in the 2024 draft.

      Preseason Week 3 - vs. Pittsburgh (practice tweets, discussion, etc)

      By Proudiddy · Posted

      I felt pretty good about us making progress this season, surprising some people, and getting some more wins than last season going into it.  Now, after preseason, my expectations are much, much lower. I was talking with my friend who is a Bears fan, and we were discussing their drubbing of the Bills and how people try to dismiss it as “preseason, so it doesn’t count.”  It absolutely counts.  Not the wins or losses.  No one really cares about that.  But what the Bears are doing shows that even in a vanilla, non-specific scheme, they are executing at an elite level and they are disciplined.  It shows they are well coached.  They see growth in their players.  Versus us - hard to tell what we’re looking at because everything is a fuging mess.  In games we’re still undisciplined, be it penalties or assignments.  We do NOT execute.  We got random coaches calling plays that won’t be calling plays during the season, we have our players getting into fights in the last padded practice of the preseason, then we have Bryce and Chuba trying to correct it while our coach sat off to the side laughing.  To be clear, I like Canales.  He seems like a good dude.  But, it feels like we have very little direction and discipline.  You’re allowing a team who has been historically bad the last almost decade, with a losing culture that mostly bereft of talent to self-police?  You’re allowing subordinates to work in pet projects at the expense of getting valuable reps and evaluation of players in during games?     My friend literally brought up last night that when Ben Johnson got there he essentially put DJ Moore in notice because it was starting to be perceived that he was displaying some diva-behavior.  That’s leadership.  And they’re reaping the benefits early and setting a tone.  My friend said there is an excitement and confidence in and around their team that’s he’s never felt his entire life.  And here we are, sounding and looking like The Bad News Bears in our final week of training camp and preseason.  I literally stopped watching after halftime last week.  I used to watch every play faithfully, even in 2001 and 2010.  It was fun.  This isn’t.  We are bad and our administration keeps making bad decisions to compound things.  Reading poo like this today is just fuging deflating.
