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

      Dan Morgan on the Rich Eisen show

      By TD alt · Posted

      I hope Bryce balls out. Wouldn't bet the farm on it though. Morgan has to be practical though. He was placed into a situation where he was compelled to give Bryce a long look. There really haven't been any more practical options due to who has been available at the position. The Panthers had already put their chips in with Bryce, so putting more chips in by borrowing against the future and stacking on that by borrowing against the future without really having the requisite draft capital was a nonstarter. We could either dump Bryce and go dumpster diving for known and unknown JAGs at the position, or take out chances and let it play out with Bryce and hope for acceptable returns. Due to what looks like some good moves in the draft and free agency, it appears like we're finally getting into a position where we can take a swing again if need be without destroying the core of the team. I understand that you'll believe it when you see it, but Dan is gonna move on if Bryce can't cut it. There are too many professionals lives and careers tied to Bryce to simply accept the status quo.

      Football is the ultimate team sport. No sport is more dependent on others for your success - including coaching. I don't know if Bryce is the guy, but I do know this has been a very bad team all around since he got here. One of the worst o-lines and coaching staffs I've ever seen his rookie year. One of the worst defenses and receiving groups (including TEs) I've ever seen his 2nd season - with a rookie HC and OC. An improving WR group his 3rd season mostly due to a rookie. The only other WR of note didn't really play well until after the 10th game of the season due to injury. Still no receiving TE to speak of. And lost games because of the worst pass rush in the NFL. And the only speed he's ever had on the field was DJ Chark. A washed up DJ Chark that played here one year and has had 31 yards receiving since leaving.  Carolina had no business moving up for a QB in 2023. They weren't ready. Especially if it meant trading your only good WR to do it. Now finally there's potential on defense. Potential on o-line. Potential at WR, including some actual speed in a game where speed kills. If BY falls on his face this season, then he has to own it. Situation may not be perfect, but it's at least NFL average across the board. I won't beat him up for being bad in bad situations on a bad team. But a 4th year QB has to be able to control the offense and make players/coaches right. The team looks good enough on paper to show what he can do now.
