If the chips fall the price to trade up for our pick of a rookie goes down. The more qbs go to a new home we are able to get a guy.  For instance if the Jets go big for Watson then fields should be there at three.  Trading up for a rookie gonna be cheaper than the Watson sweepstakes 

If the jets trade for Watson, then the pick they give the Texans will still be used on a QB, even if Darnold is part of the package probably...

Exactly.  Maybe we like Fields.  Maybe that's the smoke screen.

That doesn’t make any sense.  You’re implying we like Fields as a prospect more than Watson as a proven commodity?  Even if that were true, driving up the price for Watson doesn’t benefit us in any way. In your scenario the Jets trade for Watson, the Texans then take Wilson, and it’s the same outcome as if the Jets just took Wilson in the first place. There is zero benefit to us

Another benefit will be keeping 3 first rounders and some great players.  Y'all are overreacting much like how some wanted to fire Rivera before he could get a chance. Give Rhule three years before y'all get all antsy.  Lots of salary cap room in 2022. Another draft and off season this season we gonna have some pieces in place.  

LOL! Ron should've been fired at least two years before he was. 

We look to be exploring every option to upgrade the QB position and that's exactly what we should be doing.

I'm implying nothing. I am saying maybe we like our name in the hunt.  In my scenario we keep our picks and we keep our core players whether thats CMC, Burns, etc.  Y'all impatient.

Pat on the back for myself.  So tired of the dozens of threads bout the Panthers trading for Watson.  I mean how many more can any of us stand.  If it happens cool for y'all.  I'll enjoy playing the hindsight game and talking bout the picks we traded.  We will see who was "stupid" one day.  Or we could win a super bowl every year Watson is under contract.  😆 I have my doubts.  Shid he never did it in Houston.  Hell how many playoff games did he win? That's par.

Unpopular opinion and personal pipe dream.  Watson is a smoke screen.  We are driving up the price and also keeping our profile high.  Smart move would be to let the chips fall where they may and reap the benefits of the market settling.  

Makes a LOT more sense than the Texans shipping DW under any circumstances...

Not disputing that Rivera overstayed his welcome.  I'm talking bout how people were calling for his head one year before a coach of the year and 15-1 season.

Or we could just stay the course and do what we've always done - hope to surprise with a good year a couple of times a decade. That's been going oh so well.

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      By cranky · Posted

      I can't help but think that you are equating physical attributes alone with wins. I don't subscribe to that thought. No one will argue that Young has a strong arm, but he makes up for it in other ways. The real limitation for him is he needs good route runners with great hands. That's why Young was so good at the end of the 24 season. Thielen and Coker were perfect receivers for him and he had his best games with them. Not having them to start the 25 season hurt. Look at the first 10 games in 25 with a rookie receiver and no Coker and then look at the final 7 games with a more experienced rookie and Coker back and there is a telling difference in Young's performance. Prior to week 10, Young had 1 game with a QB rating above 100, 2 games with a rating above 90 and 6 games with a rating below 90. In the last 7 games with Coker back, Young had 3 games with a QB rating above 100, 2 games with a rating above 90 and only 2 games with a rating below 90. The tools a QB has to work with matter more than their arm strength.  To go back to Darnold and Stafford, yes they both have great arm strength but neither had much success with that alone. As I already pointed out, Stafford, even with a canon for an arm, only had 4 winning seasons in his first 12 years. It was only when he went to the right environment that he had true success.

      Report: Panthers great Luke Kuechly being eyed for big TV job

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      I don't love this role for him if I'm being totally honest The pregame show is much more flash than substance and doesn't seem like the right fit for what Luke would bring to the table, and that's his vision of the game. I'd like to see him do something where it more involves him breaking down film and explaining what he's seeing out there, as he sees the game in a way very few ever have.
