Worst case scenario, the Panthers huddle around 8-8 for 2 years (our years without 1st round picks) and pick up when we get them back.

Watson would be 28 when our 1st rounders return, this is the kind of player you hand Houston a blank check and shut up.

Absolutely, it's such a no brainer it would be a crime if it didn't happen.  We could go 50 years without drafting a QB as good as Watson, easily.  Just ask the Bengals, Lions, Bears, etc

I'll say again what I've said elsewhere.

What on God's green earth does Jack Easterby bring to the table that the Texans would be willing to keep him amidst all this when it's pretty obvious that firing him would be a huge step in the right direction?

Heck, from what I've read, firing him would be a good idea even if none of this had ever happened.

I still think it comes down to Cal's ego.   He knows Easterby is a colossal fug up most likely at this point.    But is he going to have a player school him in front of the nation and tell Cal how to run things? Ego's are weird things.   Human nature says people more often than not will double down on a mistake (Easterby) when poo blows up ang they are called on it. 

I mean this Watson thing shouldn't be a story.  Could be killed tomorrow.   It's hasn't been.  That's Cal.

LOL Hell Yes!  I think that the Deshaun/Houston ship has sailed, and then sank to the bottom of the ocean.  They must trade him or face becoming an even bigger embarrassment than they already are.  Houston can say whatever they want to, but Watson is not going to be their QB Week 1 next year.

Yep totally agree

I definitely believe McNair's ego is heavily involved here.

Caserio's might be too. He likely doesn't want his reputation to hinge on him being the guy that traded away Deshaun Watson.

That's actually part of why I think he won't be traded.

I don't really buy the Caserio.   Damage was done before he got there and Watson is already on record about it not being about him.   No one into football is going to think that. 

He can basically come in and get a poo ton for a guy leaving that he had nothing to do with.  A path for him to do okay if he is good at his job.

A couple of people have pointed out that Caserio spent years spent under Belichick, a guy who pretty much never gave in on anything.

Even if Caserio did ultimately relent though, he'd still have to convince McNair.

Belichick had no problem parting with players though.  The machine was always more important.

      Myles Garrett Traded to Rams

      By electro's horse · Posted

      I feel like this trade just lives rent free in people's heads and keeps morphing into different things. First thing is that the rumored trade was for future firsts. They wouldn't have any extra picks in 2023; the firsts would have been for 2024 and 2025. With very few exceptions, NFL GMs don't value picks that far away. You have to have a lot of job security to pull that off. Like Chiefs, Eagles, Rams kinda stability. That's obviously not the case with David Tepper, especially since he'd just fired his head coach. No GM except for like Howie Roseman is going to trade an asset you have now for a future asset you probably get to use.  Second, at the time you'd have to assume these are first rounders late in the first round. Obviously currency is currency and the panthers need young players, but these weren't slam dunk top ten picks. At the end of the day there's one pick that separates a first and second round pick.  Lastly, the only place that ever reported this trade was the Rams. All the reporters just repeated what McVay said and it became gospel. We have no idea how serious the negotiations were, if they ever really happened, if the offer was real, etc. And I personally believe McVay and Sneed are the kind of guys who would make up rumors like that to fug up other teams, mostly because I assume if I've thought of it someone smarter than me has.  I don't know how you'd call it the greatest draft haul of all time. Firsts quickly lose their value the farther out they are and Burns had 16.5 sacks last season. And anyway those picks would probably just been tossed into the burning inferno of the Bryce trade up so it's a moot point anyway.
