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.  

Yeah this one will age well. Bye

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.   

Guess what if you know anything about football that had nothing to do with Rivera and all about Cam. Thanks for showing me how smart you are!

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.  

Unpopular opinions are fine but I'm afraid this one doesn't make any sense.

If you're hoping somebody above us in the draft order makes a trade for Watson, why would you drive up the price?

That would actually make it less likely that they make that trade.

Ok do any of y'all play poker?  Ok Tepper is at the table with all the other high rollers do ya think he ain't gonna put chips on the table.  He is gonna be involved.  Does that mean he is gonna go all in on the Watson jackpot?  The Jets and Dolphins are the chip leaders and can make bigger pushes but we got a play.  Is it the one we need to make?

This is maybe one of the worst analogies I have read on the Huddle.

If the Jets get Watson, then the Texans will draft Wilson at 2. It doesn’t really change anything for us. Whoever gets a QB, another team has to lose that QB which gives them a need. 

Unless, Darnold is included and the Texans opt to rebuild their garbage OL by drafting Sewell.

So be it, who gives a fug a 25 yr old franchise qb not in his prime we have some money and picks still to work on oline. Gimme a break if salary cap was such an issue Saints wouldn’t have Brees, Thomas, Kamara, etc. Y’all need to learn this isn’t the old nfl.

Brees is retired...  and the Saints are 70 million over the cap still lol

Yea i've been taking up for a couple of people on here lately but this scenario seriously just doesn't make any sense unfortunately. I have another drug bender in me to be up all night like last time but damn I just can't for this one.

Bioshock it is then

I was totally with you until I thought this through and realized this doesn't benefit us at all

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

      So the last guy who had the job got hired by his former team directly into a role he has no direct experience in?

      Hard to pass up millions for a couple of days work per week for a coaching gig in the NFL that is 60-80 hours each week during the season and a more relaxed 50 hours a week during the off season. Yeah, I'd love to see him as our DC but hard to see him giving up the cushy job there if he gets it. And he's going to be a great commentator for the network.

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

      By Khyber53 · Posted

      Really, I think that is where negotiations come in. If you've got a QB getting you to 10 wins but statistically he's not a great performer, then you say look you can take $22 million or you can try it on the market. Because let's face it, out there, any leadership skills that we're seeing aren't going to be on the table, it's just going to be performance and that lands him in the QB2 market, which is much, much less lucrative (although any of us would love that money).  No one is saying that Bryce will be a $50 million QB, barring something short of a miraculous jump. I'm just saying that if we are winning somehow with him at the helm, then it would be fuging stupid to dive back into the rookie pool all over again. Let's say we do hit the 10 win mark, heck, let's call it 11 and a second round in the playoffs. I think we can all say that would be a really uplifting result and one that should be doable if we have good play. What do we do then? Here's what I would offer if I were Morgan and Tepper. $25 million a year for 3 years, each year with up to $10 million in incentives for touchdowns, wins, playoff depth, being under 10 interceptions, completing a full season, passing yardage milestones, taking less than 15 sacks. Look, Bryce isn't a Ferrari, he isn't a Corvette, or a mid-level BMW. He's probably a new Toyota Sienna that will definitely get you somewhere and bring the whole team along with it, no fuss but not a lot of pizazz.  And really, it's about the destination, not about what drove you there.
