If he's involved beyond telling Fitterer and Rhule that we need to get a good quarterback, it makes me nervous.

I honestly don't think there are many situations where the owner isn't involved to some degree when you're talking about mortgaging the future of the franchise. Could you imagine owning an NFL team and waking up to find out via Twitter that your franchise just traded it's next three first round picks? I mean, yikes. That just doesn't seem realistic at all.

I get that, but the last thing I want is him overriding his decision makers.

If they say "this is too much to trade", he needs to accept that.

And he very well may. I'm just saying that I don't think there are many if any blockbuster deals whether it's a trade, big FA signing, or big extension that are made in a vacuum entirely excluding the input of the guy signing the checks.

Understood.

I just want to make sure the specific details are left to the people who actually know what they're doing.

The Dolphins are in such a good spot. IF the Falcons want Fields, I honestly think they'll have to move to 3 to get him.  The Dolphins could realistically drop from 3 to 4, while grabbing say a 3rd/4th rounder for their trouble of moving one spot.  Then field calls from us, the Eagles, or whoever else for #4 if somebody wants Lance there. Grab even more picks for trading down just a couple more spots, and still get the top WR or whoever they want.

Must be nice having the 3rd pick. 

BUT we beat that team that whose name is not to be mentioned and our old coach, who could not put together winning seasons with a franchise qb.  Hang that banner!!

No we're just bored of hearing it again and again and again when nobody can change what happened. It's tiring.

There's a reason why we're so fixated on Watson. We're basically sitting in a spot where we're going to have to trade the farm to land a QB so we might as well trade it for an established MVP caliber QB rather than rolling the dice on trading for a pick to draft a rookie.

Honestly, it's looking more and more like we're not likely to land the answer this off-season. We're going to end up with a Minshew or Trubisky and we'll likely be having this conversation next year about Howell, Rattler, and Shough.

I don't know if we have the patience to wait until next year.  I could see us making Miami an offer they can't refuse.

At a certain point we might need to hope other teams protect us from ourselves by refusing to do the deal regardless of what we offer.

I know I’m in the minority but I believe that Minshew can win here. As for Shough, I don’t like that he is transferring when he could start for Oregon.

I think Minshew can "win" here in terms of competing for winning seasons and playoff berths I'm just not at all sold that we could accomplish much more than that with him at QB unless we build one helluva dominant D.

This is the question --is Lance worth trading away future #1 picks?  Is Fields?  Heck, is Wilson?

If not, we will do what we have to do to get Watkins.

 

We won't have to.  All 4 QBs going before pick 5 is so highly improbable that isn't not worth fretting over.  No reason to be all nervous to jump to #3.  The 5th pick is only 300 points on a trade value chart from #8.  Even for QB inflation, you are not talking about much more.  We sit tight if we think one falls or move to up to #5.  Watson will cost us A TON MORE than moving up to #5.

3 game winning streak early in the season felt awesome. Pitching a shutout to the Lions with our young, patchwork D felt pretty good. Barely beating a terrible team in week 16 when your already out of the playoffs... not so much.

Like you, anytime we play I cheer to win. But the reality of what that meaningless win cost us is hard to ignore.

EDIT: Fug you Ron!

Beating Ron Rivera felt awesome.

      Ranked Panthers as the Best this year!!

      By frankw · Posted

      If you're looking for a pat on the back it sounds good in theory until you realize they also had the 2023 Panthers as the top draft class.

      Carolina Still Not Respected

      Going into the 2003 and 2015 seasons we were supposed to be the joke of the league each time. In 2003, John Fox was supposed to still be in rebuild mode. We had a guy named Peppers on the defensive line who was supposed to be pretty good. We had Rodney Peete as our starting QB and a line that was a lot of hope and not much experience. Our new running back was a guy the Redskins, errrr Commanders, had jettisoned for being too old. We had a good kicker and writers thought that was needed because there were going to be more field goals than touch downs. Heck, it looked like they were right up until just before halftime of that first game when we had to yank Rodney Peete and put in some Cajun duded whose name couldn't be pronounced. And Steve Smith? He wasn't Smitty yet. Moose Muhammad, well, he was close to being written off as a bust. You know how that turned out. And then in 2015, we had Cam Newton, who was electrifying to watch but hadn't really won anything yet. There was an offensive line in front of him that looked like it was made in a defunct Swiss cheese factory and our big hope on offense was the great Kelvin Benjamin. And then he got taken out for the year with a knee injury in training camp. Ted "Feet of Lightning, Hands of Stone" Ginn became our default go to guy beside our next best hope, yeah, Devin Funchess. Our defense was pretty good, a scrappy bunch with frikkin' awesome linebacker play and a cornerback who had done more than drank the Kool-Aid, but had snorted the powder. He played like a superhero and became sort of a bat-man during the season. By the Super Bowl he had completely lost his freaking mind, though, and managed to talk his way out of a contract with the team next year. No one was expecting us to win the NFCSouth that season, much less almost go undefeated and into the Super Bowl. So, 2026? Who knows? But our best seasons came when no one had a reason to believe in us, except us.

      it's not so much this personal vendetta against the Carolina Panthers as it is more about Bryce Young never not once been in the same conversation with the top 15 or even top 20 Qbs in the NFL ..just saying
