ESPN Predicts Watson to be the Panthers starter in 2021

Watson had a great year last year... but the team didn't. if we give away the farm to get him and have to pay him a lot, it will be the same as in Houston. Not enough talent around him and that's a 4-12 team. I would love to have Watson but not at the price it will cost to get him. 

We need a team around any QB we have before thinking SB. Even Mahomes struggled in the SB with no real O-line (I know it was injuries but the point is the same).

Interesting observations.

Spot on re: Houston front office.

As for Tepper...sure seems like his name is the only one we ever hear as it relates to the Deshaun Watson situation...

...is Tepper the lead man on this deal?

In truth, I have no idea. For many teams, the ownership lets their management team and coaches guide this kind of process. Some others have very hands on ownership, or even a situation like the Cowboys where Jerry Jones is both owner and GM (I believe that is still his title). 

Tepper seems to be the kind of guy who needs to have his name all over everything. If he wins big and often, that's just great. If not, then he's just another spoiled billionaire teabagging everything he can.

So far, he hasn't been terrible, but he's been far from impressive. Lots of noise, little constructive growth.

At what point does Tepper pick up the phone and tell Cal he’ll write him a check for whatever he wants to trade him Watson?

Pretty sure that's not allowed by the CBA but that would be fuging hilarious if we pulled that off. Watson for a 3rd round pick and $250M cash. Rest of the league then shits their pants

I thought the premise was that Tepper had put "football people" into place to handle these sorts of things?

I have yet to hear or see "Fitterer" and "Deshaun Watson" used in the same sentence, paragraph, conversation, or article...

...only Tepper.   (which makes perfect sense)

Who is an example of a good owner in your book?

Tepper hasn't said a single public word about Watson or trading for a QB. What he said about the position was in reference to Seattle in "Doesn’t hurt to have a quarterback that can take you there...”

y'all are judging him based on people like Joe Person commenting on what he thinks Tepper thinks

      The Carolina Huddle

      By LinvilleGorge · Posted

      I came over from the old Panthers Insider site. When Fox Sports bought that platform it slowly just started dying plus the guy who ran that site was dealing with some pretty significant health issues so the whole thing just slowly fell apart. Quite a few of us migrated over here. Not sure how many are still around.  I miss that place. It struck a nice balance of having enough active posters to keep productive conversation flowing but didn't have so much traffic that you end up with a lot of trolling BS. This place is getting there though since we shutdown new registrations but at some point we're going to have to open it back up or we'll watch this place slowly die off too as posters fall off for one reason or another. We just have to figure out a way to filter out the spam bots. It was a never ending battle to ban the spam bots to keep then from overrunning the site. You'd think they'd be a little more strategic. I mean, if you fill a site with nothing but spam people are just going to stop coming so it's not a sustainable model. But nope, every one of them makes dozens of duplicate threads filling up pages upon pages as soon as their account goes live.

      lol...I don't remember that.  Although recalling what I had for breakfast yesterday is sometimes a challenge.  Hope it was a positive thing.
