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

Right ROFL

I love this though where else can you find comedy this gold in the modern era where comedy got killed by PC.

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.

 

The NYC endorsement thing is kinda a myth. None of the top endorsement earners are NY athletes.

If you want to make a ton of money with endorsements, you need to win.

Besides, the taxes and living expenses would even that out anyway.

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.

The Panthers organization has always been better than the Texans. I think both parties would take their chances.

Watson gets to come home(Clemson area, Georgia vacinity) with a franchise HEAVILY invested in his success AND he has more say this time. He'll be the new face of the franchise day one. In a huge way regionally and nationally.

Panthers again become relevant like when Cam was here instead of irrelevant with no jersey sales and a apathetic fan base.

This is the first well calculated move I've seen. I hope they pull it off.

Burns, Brown, and Chinn are untouchable in any proposed trade IMO. That's the future of our defense, don't destroy what could be great in a couple of years. 

CMC?  Have at it. Somebody let me know the last time a "great" RB had any significant impact on a Super Bowl run.  Because there's about a decade+ of Leonard Fournette and LeGarrette Blount types being starting RBs on teams that win it all. 

Also since we're reading social media tea leaves lately, CMC's Instagram story yesterday was a little odd

I hope Tepper doesn't turn into another meddling owner.

Does the new GM and Rhule really want to tie up their entire future into 1 player? It doesn't seem like a risk they would want to take.

Exactly. 

Few people seem to understand that the Panthers will be like the Cowboys are "Football Team", making desperate and exaggerate trades for certain players.

Hopefully all this cap is being cleared up in order to pay a lot of draft picks to sort through.

Otherwise, Deshaun Watson will be crying on Twitter again in three years when he is in the exact same situation; just with the Panthers.

This. Cam did very well in Charlotte. Mahomes is doing very well in KC. You don't have to be in a major market anymore.

Hell, Baker Mayfield is in seemingly every commercial on TV these days and he's in fuging Cleveland.

      XL about to turn the corner

      He’s set financially for life barring complete fiscal lunacy. He has $12.3 million guaranteed. Think about that. Twelve million three hundred thousand dollars, he’ll be 28 years old when his contract is up and he’s completely forgotten about if he never plays another down in the NFL if he so chooses. Say after taxes he ‘only’ brings home $6M (fire your accountant territory) and parks $4M in a run of the mill mutual fund… good God… What I’m getting at, IF homie ain’t feeling the NFL, he has 12,300,000 reasons to take the fewest NFL edition ass kickings as possible while waiting out his very wealthy non-football future.  Obviously completely talking out of my a$$ with this… but if you hated contact, didn’t want to live with a completely wrecked body for the rest of your life and you know you’re set financially… what path would you take, assuming you’re cool with being a quitter (not calling him a quitter, I’m just playing out a scenario)? Why do so many first rounders bust? Where was he before his one year wonder if he was such a stud?  Everybody likes the dude on a personal level. How could you not? …. but I like seeing a winning product even more. He doesn’t play like his head is in the game. The Why is where the speculation lies and helps to clarify if his issues are ‘fixable’ or not.

      Very likely that he needs another season or two to really find his groove.  It very well may not be here where he has his best season. He’s a physical standout, but he can’t seem to get his focus and mentality right. That non-catch where he didn’t get his second foot in bounds was a truly awful display of this. Every professional in this game makes that catch.  Last week, it was clear that he wasn’t playing in top gear.  Like so many young people these days, he wants success without working hard.  He wants maximum reward for minimum effort. He wants to rest on talent. But talent alone won’t cut it.  The foolishness of youth and inexperience.  He can have it all if he wants it.  Seems like he’s content to be a social media star and a forgettable football player.
