Number 8 pick Lance, Teddy, CMC, 2022 1st rounder to Texans

Watson to the Panthers

33 year old Stafford went for two firsts, a second, and Jared Goff.  

25 year old Desean Watson is gonna require ALOT more than that.

I love Brian Burns and Jeremy Chinn as much as anyone on this board.  But reality is we’re likely gonna have to part ways with one for  Watson deal to happen.
 

I’m not even sure Houston is interested in a $64 million RB if they are rebuilding. And in that case, perhaps BOTH of Chinn/Brown and Burns would need to be included.  Regardless, the only way we can compete for Desean is giving up young stars.  Make it happen Tepper.

I'm clueless. 

But if that is the best way to be, I'll accept that. 

It's not really that big of a deal, just very bizarre. There's a troll, who shall go unnamed, that is convinced he has some sort of unique and genius perspective on what Tepper is doing with Panthers' management structure.  He would often derail (I haven't seen it as much in the past week or so, but it was almost relentless for a couple of weeks prior to that) threads to insist that Tepper was instituting an Appaloosa Model structure of management.  It felt like every time people talked about Fitterer/Rhule/Tepper, he would swoop in and just start bizarrely talking about the Appaloosa Model and would ask people "Do you know who Rhule reports to?" It was so strange.

The Goff/Stafford trade is a completely different scenario. The lions got that much as a way to sweeten the deal for Goff’s ridiculous contract.

I think you'll find one of those firsts was for taking Jared Goff's contract off their hands. It's an absolute albatross.

“In return for Watson, the Panthers would have to give up McCaffrey, Bridgewater, their first- and second-round picks in the 2021 draft (8 and 39), a first-round pick in 2022 and a third-round pick in 2023.”

I honestly don’t think that is even close to getting it done.  Bridgewater is not attractive at all, and CMC’s value is overrated by Panthers fans (because of that contract).  And only two first’s and no Burns.  Not even remotely close, IMO.

That would be amazing if they would take it though. Deshaun has the leverage though if he refuses to play then it may cost less than we think.

well, my ears are open. 

I was just guessing off the fact that was the name of Tepper's hedge fund and the fact they did look at times of distress (Houston) to cash in. 

We have a dude that spam posted about "The Appaloosa Model" in relation to every Panthers front office move, coaching decision, play call, equipment manager bowel movement, etc.

      Panthers coverage efficiency

      By NAS · Posted

      Call me crazy but if you’re in the bottom 7 in efficiency using Zone 84% of the time why not try something else? You paid Jaycee top 5 CB money use him more effectively. Zone is only efficient if you can generate a good pass rush to force a QB into mistakes otherwise you will get picked apart

      The Bryce Young "Game Winning Drive" narrative needs to end

      Good Lord this board has become a cesspool of negativity and where fandom becomes something twisted and unrecognizable.

      Drafting X is like the poster board for mistakes. Hopefully, lesson learned.

      By TD alt · Posted

      Yeah, I could jump right into the unbelievable Bryce debate now that some people are trying to flip the script because Bryce Young has, at most, a handful of decent games as a pro, but that's going to work itself out. Suffice it to say that I've seen better QBs (with an s) in a Panthers uniform, and I've certainly seen better QBs be drafted while we're playing around with Bryce, one of them who beat the crap out of us already this season... Let's forget about Bryce (and his markedly underwhelming play since he's been here); I think that most sane fans will agree that drafting him was an error, but it happens. Sure, it doesn't happen to the tune of King's ransom---including your main receiver---but it happens. You bet, you lose. Speaking of receivers...and betting and losing... Oh, man, we drafted Xavier Legette. Yes, just like with Bryce, I've entered "the dark side." Some Huddlers were telling us from the beginning, and they were right. But, I'm not apologizing for waiting to see what a guy's got before making my decision on him. X was a one-year wonder at South Carolina who parlayed some really nice production that season, a great personality and thick country accent, into becoming a first round pick (but only in Carolina). For Dan Morgan and company, He was a big swing that has turned into a big whiff (and I can still feel the ill breeze from that one). Sh¡t happens, right? Well, not so fast. Ladd McConkey was the decidedly more polished receiver who was literally ready to hit the ground running as soon as stepping onto the field as a pro. Ladd was never the biggest guy (though not the smallest), but he was the guy that could run routes, always seemed to get open---no question---and had the same speed as X, but with legit quickness and nuanced shake and bake. But Dan chose the project. He chose the guy where the game speed looks more like a tractor trailer than a 5.0 mustang. Look, I've supported X (just like Bryce) many many a day, but no more. Now I'm not saying that I won't root for the guy. Just like with Bryce, he seems like a great kid. But as far as giving excuses for the kid, and, perhaps more importantly, waiting for some miraculous breakout, I'm done with that. I've seen enough. You don't draft a project for a project. And yes, Bryce had proven to be a project after his first season. In my mind, drafting a supposedly number one receiver that needs lots of development for a starting quarterback that needs immediate help to try and further his development is not going to lead to good things. Pick the surest guy. Or at least pick the one who appears to be the surest guy, because picking can be tricky... especially when you're too busy tricking yourself.
