Coaches and GMs have no chance without a top QB. 

You can’t win without one and you don’t keep your job if you don’t win.

While I agree you need to have a top QB, you still need to have the pieces around him. Our OL and LB units are well below average, and the secondary is straight up trash. 

Watson is also not our ONLY option. You can still draft a QB while developing the team around him or get a different QB at a fair deal (what's the rush - the GM and coach are both new). The Texans will require too much in return for Watson. You never take a bad deal for any purchase in life!

Am I the only one that thinks Watson is overrated.

I don't know. But, if you look at what he did last season with Will Fuller and basically nobody, it gets your mouth to watering at what he could do with more weapons.

 

FWIW, I doubt that the cap clearing was all about Watson. We have to get some new pieces in here, especially on the O-line (LB, safety, TE...).

It’s a chicken or the egg situation in some respects for sure, but Deshaun is known and the draft is a game of chance. 

Look at the last 10 years of 1st round QBs. The odds are not on our side.

I would love to draft a stud QB and have all the draft capital to build around him, but those odds aren’t good.

Its going to be a big challenge either way.

Personally, I think our odds of landing Watson are low.

The Jets can guarantee Houston the second best QB in this years draft. 

That alone pretty much seals it for them.

What, winning 4 games?

'Cos if you think we're surrounding him with significantly more talent than the Texans did with no first round pick for 3 years and no Chinn / Brown / Burns, think again.

NY being the market it is in and of itself is enough reason for Watson to choose them over us.  The endorsement deals alone....

I think the cost is too high as it's been reported.

If the Panthers go for broke by tying up their whole future for one player, DeShawn Watson, they had better hope he remains healthy or the team may take many years to recover.

I don’t really care at least we are trying something new. Something we haven’t tried since this team’s existence. Let’s sit back and enjoy it for once

That is it really. What if we give up Burns, Chinn and 3 first rounders for Watson and then he gets hurt behind our porous line. Then we have a crappy offense and an even crappier defense and no first rounders for years. If the system is so great, then why do you need Watson to run it at the expense of decimating your defense?  And can a rookie come in and run the system by moving up in the draft giving up far less in compensation.

I'm overrated
 

4823 yards 33 TDs  7 Int      

444 yards rushing 3 TDs

On a crumbling organization...eye'll dew butter nExt tyme

4 real those are Cam MVP year numbers and with Will Fuller as his best weapon and bill o brian as HC.

Im not getting my hopes up, i learned better with this organization, but deshaun is worth 2-3 first rounders and cmc

      Panther fans sound off on Bryce

      By CRA · Posted

      Cards weren't really blitzing that much the entire game.  The ones they sent just wrecked Bryce.  My opinion is you are over fixated on what happened as we got close to the goal.   The one possession we had in the 3rd quarter? That was a freebie to get down there.  It was literally just checkdowns to the TE when we weren't running the ball down... taking up the entire quarter.  Next quarter Cards were inviting the exact same behavior.  Which is why you got those back to back clock eating small ball 14 play drives.  Featuring RB and TE easy catches.

      Panther fans sound off on Bryce

      I don't think they changed as much as you think between the INT and the final sack (immediate pressure with 4 linemen). They definitely stopped blitzing as much, if a blitz means rushing more than the front 4/5. They definitely did some exotic packages where they sent LBs/DBs and dropped linemen into coverage though. The fumble and INT were both blitzes. And yes they were successful. And yes, I agreed with Bryce not taking care of the ball. Really not many answers on those plays - just take the sack and live another play (unless you're Lamar). Which he didn't do. And no, you can't run prevent on the goal line. What's prevent defense to you? Alignment, personnel, cushion, etc.? Just curious. My reply was to the post that they sat back in some soft zone the whole game - until the end, when it mattered. That's not true. They blitzed, they disguised coverages and blitzers, they pressed, they bailed, they covered the flats, all of that. Not trying to argue. Just trying to inform. Actually they only blitzed once on the final drive, and the DB got away with a bad hold on Tremayne. Otherwise looked like it would have been a completion for a first down. The Cardinals' final drive defense looked a lot like the rest of the game.  I know it's easy to get upset after a lose (I'm guilty), but Mondays are when cooler heads prevail. Right? Emotions can make us seem like we don't know what we're talking about. The Huddle isn't supposed to be that. I always saw it as a place to go discuss the Carolina Panthers with more than the casual fan, and their emotionally charged opinions. I can get that at the local grocery store, where they don't know anything about NC/SC, let alone the Panthers.
