Genuine question, what has Tua done that makes him more impressive than Jones?

People poo on Jones on here, yet think Tua's part of any Dolphins deal for Watson. 

I forget who, but there was an analyst not long ago making an argument that as far as his final college season vs Tua's, Jones was actually better.

Me? Don't know.

I mean you just need to have watched them play to see that Jones had a better final season in College. 

Tanking for Tua was dumb - and quite frankly I hope that they try to rectify that by trading for Watson.

It's already going to be difficult to re-sign Samuel. The cap hit involved with trading McCaffrey would make it damn near impossible.

Voth has pretty well established that McCaffrey is untradable so any speculation of a deal involving him isn't very realistic.

I think we could absolutely resign Curt as long as year one was team friendly.

Nothing. I'm just saying they have Tua to offer and they have the #3 overall pick guaranteeing at worst the 3rd QB off the board this year. They simply have more and better options to offer than we do.

Offer Shaq Thompson, Teddy Bridgewater and 3 first round picks. Don't offer something wild that will completely decimate us. We are the only NFC team (major plus) and are one of the only teams that Watson would agree to a trade. Think of it this way, would he agree to go to an already decimated Jets team after the fact that they trade away their entire future? Maybe, but I wouldn't come out way too aggressive if I am the Panthers, especially if Watson stays firm.

r/panthers - Uh... I want Watson as much as anyone else but that’s honestly too much 😂

This trade isn't as bad as it looks.  Yes, Anderson+Burns + 2 firsts is a lot, but that's probably at minimum what the Texans can fetch for a talent like Waston, and i'd rather movie Robbie than a third 1st rounder.  Moving CMC hurts because of his talent, but he is an RB that's getting paid -- never smart to do -- and most importantly is the price we pay to dump Two Yards in the process.  I'd pull the trigger in a second.

The differing opinions on this board make it a fun place to visit. Things are always lively here and most of the time we are all pretty civil to one another.

That said, I HATE this deal and would never consider it. Assuming Christian is healthy now, we'd be giving away 4 starters and two #1 picks in back to back years. Anderson was our leading receiver last year and when healthy Christian is arguably the most versatile back in the NFL. Teddy isn't great, but he can win games for you in this league. And, Burns is one of the best young pass rushers in the league. He had almost 1/3 of our sacks (9 out of a team total of 29). Sure, we'd have Watson, but outside of DJ, who is gonna throw it to? Who's gonna replace Burns sack total? Mike Davis is good, but is he who we want to build the running game around going forward?  

Those guys would have to be replaced. It wouldn't so be bad if we were so deep that the answers were already on the roster. Unfortunstely, they're not. It's a lot harder to replace them or address other roster needs w/out 1st round draft choices in back to back years. If they said 2 #1 picks and Teddy...that's hard to turn down. But, I'm not giving away the other starters for a QB , despite being good, has had two ACL surgeries before age 26.

      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.
