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.

      Surprise! Wait… Surprise Again! Kon Looks Really Good!

      By t96 · Posted

      Ehh, new front office has 2 drafts under their belt -- Salaun draft class was really a horrible class in general, but Salaun has started to show some of his potential and KJ Simpson not bad for a 2nd round pick. This past draft clearly looks like it was knocked out of the fuging park obviously with Kon but also Sion and Kalk already contributing in somewhat big roles for late round picks. And McNeeley has shown potential and lit it up in summer league, seems to be doing well in the G league for a young guy too.      As for this season I think a very realistic goal and outcome of the regular season is sneaking up into a 7 or 8 seed and then winning 1 of 2 play-in games to make the real playoffs. Probably get cooked in round 1 but that playoff experience and establishing that expectation of winning is critical to the development of our young core.

      Statistical reasons to Scratch Ickey from returning as a LT--Even in 2027

      By Soul Rebel · Posted

      Sound write-up MHS, as always.  Agree that the smart move that forward thinking franchises make would be drafting a tackle early, if not for sure in R1, depending on who's there. Based on early predictions we're choosing between Fano and Proctor. No brainer here...Fano all day. Proctor does not move the needle for me. In my mind, Icky has less future here than Brooks does. I love Icky, but he has been average as a top-10 pick, one good year where you saw the potential...and that was this year. He's built like a RT and his strengths are there, but he's always played left. I also feel like part of what has held him back from being elite, was his work ethic. He was known for it coming out, but feel like he fell right at home in Carolina and maybe didn't push himself as hard as he needed to. Throw in a major crucial injury that will take time to recover and a historical low return rate to current form, and the outlook is not great. Fano can play both sides and we need to also plan for Moton's departure. Either way, delaying drafting a tackle early this year will hurt us down the line. Our current OL is overpriced and needs to start adding draftees to start balancing out the inevitable changes coming in the next 2-3 years.  As others have said, maybe Icky can replace Hunt or Lewis in a couple years when he's fully recovered....IDK. Also not a guarantee, but then you have to figure out his contract and it becomes even more clouded.

      Shedeur makes the Pro Bowl

      By LinvilleGorge · Posted

      It's past time to just eliminate it in terms of an event. Just do the voting, name the roster, and move on. When you get down to 6th and 7th alternates it's just absurd. It doesn't mean anything.
